The Community Club of th(
area had a meeting on Nov. 14
at the Community Building
The busines discussed was th<
Community Building and tht
problem of the floor. Becaust
of the desirability of having s
concrete floor, the club has
been searching for a large ce
ment mixer. Any good-sized
equipment for building the
floor would be greatly appre
ciated, because otherwise the
club will have to put in a wood
en floor. Any information about
this matter could be passed
along to a member or by call
ing FR 6-3241.

The next Community Club
meeting will be at the building
on Dec. 12.

The skating party Sunday at
the local gravel pit was a big
succes, we hear. Sporting the
traditional bonfire, provided
mainly by Kay Yates, the skat
ing lasted much past dark.
Next weekend the same? Sure!

Dear Editor:
It was my habit to write a
short column once a week in
your valuable paper, under the
name, “Strange Things Hap
pen.” From the many letters
and telephone calls, it seems to
have been enjoyed by many of
your readers. I hope you let me
continue to do so.
Now that the smoke of the
political battle has cleared
away, we find that the reloca
tion of the capital was delayed
for a few more years. Too many
believed the anti-movers.
Strange as it may seem, the
Alaska people voted “yes” for
all the bond issues, thereby in
creasing the debt of the new
state of Alaska to $40 million.
Interest on this amount is about
$2 million.
Let’s look back ten years,
when Alaska was a territory,
and yours truly was a member
of the finance committee of the
Alaska legislature. 1952 was
the year. When we left Juneau
there were over $2 million in
the treasury after all the bills
were paid. Now our shoulders
are bent under a large debt.
It is claimed that the ferry
system will be able to pay off
the bonds in 30 years, but my
informant tells me that in 20
years the old ferries have to be
repaired or entirely replaced.
But even so, if we were able
to pay off the ferry debt in 30
years, I don’t think I will be
able to take part in the cele
bration. Come April, 1963, the
writer will be 77 years old. 30
years hence I will be 107 years
old.
I don’t think I’ll make it!

power lines would be extended
from Talkeetna southward to
Montana, and, when the new
highway is built, across the
Susitna River to serve home
steaders in that area. Approxi
mately 100 new consumers
would be served, in addition to
approximately 30 now being
served in Talkeetna.
Present MEA power lines
cannot be extended from Wil
low to serve the Montana-Tal
keetna area without exceeding
design limits of these lines, La
Zelle said.
The Talkeetna acquisition is
in line with the service area
and extension policies set up
by the MEA board of directors,
the manager added.
“The fact that the extension
policy is working is underlin
ed by the fact that for two
years since inception of the
present policy the number of
idle services has remained vir
tually unchanged,” LaZelle
stated. “This indicates that
funds are not being spent cn
extensions which will not
make the return on the invest
ment required by REA.”

Spokane House, built in 1810,
was the first white settlement
in present Washington State
