Kiwanians Sponsor
RIAL Program for
Month of November
Beginning this weekend, Pal
mer will participate with hun
dreds of other communities in the
month-long Religion in Ameri
can Life program annually spon
sored as a non-sectarian effort to
strengthen the role of religion in
personal, family, nad community
life.
This movement, known as
RIAL, began nine years ago when
leaders in advertising, business,
industry, and labor pooled their
resources to express their appre
ciation for the place of religion
in American life and to stimulate
interest and attendance at church
and synagogue services. This
year’s national chairman is Robert
Stevens, former Secretary of the
Army. Also active are Herbert
Hoover, Walter Judd, Henry
Luce, J. C. Penney, Adlai Steven
son, Charles Taft, Harry Bullls of
General Mills and Lee Bristol
of the Bristol-Myers Company.
Local leadership in the RIAL
campaign is being sponsored by
the Palmer Kiwanis Club through j
its committee on the support of
churches. Large-size window
posters and stickers stressing
“Find the Strength of Your Life
. . . Worship Together This Week”
are available for display through
November. A leaflet “Believe”,
containing statements by Presi
dent Eisenhower, Conrad Hilton,
Jesse Owens and other promin
ent Americans may be taken
from store counters. A stand-up
desk reminder and display strips
for car windows or bumpers,
with the posters mentioned
above, may be obtained from
Marvin Slaughter, club president,
or Bertram Rutan, committee
chairman.
RIAL operates primarily thr
ough attractive advertising and
public reminders of worship ser
vices throughout November. In
1956 it was responsible for 5,412
billboards; 9,857 platform post
ers; 55,590 car cards and 9,718
newspaper ads, enough to fill a
standard-size papier 3,000 pages
thick. Most of this was donated
by public-minded individuals

REGENTS AGREE TO
CONTINUATION OF
EXPERIMENT FUR FARM
University of Alaska regents
this weekend unanimously agreed
to continue the research activities
at the Petersburg Experimental
Fur Farm for the remainder of
the 1957-59 biennium. Earlier
there had been some question
concerning the economic feasibil
ity of continuing the farm opera
tions.
A public hearing was held last
month at Petersburg to look into
the matter. Persons who attended
included Gov. Mike Stepovich,
Dr. Allan Mick, director of the
Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Station and of the Extension Ser
vice; Senator William Nolan of
Wrangell; Drs. David Lumsden
and E. V. Elting from the U-S.
D.A. in Washington, D. C. and
others. Their findings were re
ferred to the regents.
The budgets of the agricultural
experiment stations at OPalmer,
College and Petersburg have not
kept pace with the demands made
upon them throughout the Terri
tory.
The regents requested that a
complete analysis be made of the
fur farm’s research program dur
ing the rest of the "present bien
nium. They are of the opinion
that if the fur farm could ex
pand its program during the next
biennium with an increased ap
propriation by the Legislature it
could secure results that would
justify its continued operation.
The regents have been advised
that fur farmers in continenta.
U. S. are looking with interest at
Alaska where bottom fish and
cannery fish wastes are much
more abundant than elsewhere.
