Chamber Invites
Summer Guests
Stateside company has been
invited to the Valley by the local
Chamber of Commerce, and it is
more than probable that the
Matanuska Valley will have ar
dent boosters in the cities of Se
attle and Portland before an
other year rolls around.
A Chamber of Commerce dele
gation from Seattle, intent on
fostering better relations be
tween that city and Alaska, is
expected to arrive in Seward late
in May. They plan to spend sev
eral hours there, than will en
train for Anchorage for a two
day stop on May 26 and 27. The
party expects to continue on to
Fairbanks from Anchorage, but
it is hoped they will find time
to be guests of the Valley Cham
ber before they go on.
At Fairbanks, the party is ex
pected to break up into small
groups, who will visit in a num
ber of Alaskan cities.
A similar delegation of busi
ness men from Portland is ex
pected to tour the territory later
in the summer.
Both groups of visitors last
week received invitations from
Miss Louise Kellogg, correspond
ing secretary of the Valley
Chamber.

of the teachers have been mis
judged.”
It was suggested that in the
future, school boards ought to
submit a quarterly report or ef
ficiency rating to Palmer teach
ers, so that the instructors
might be given the opportunity
to improve, when they are not
meeting board standards.
Referring specifically to the
dismissal of Charles Dillon, the
committee expressed concern for
the future of the infant teen
age movement in the Valley.
Teen-agers now have organized
themselves into a definite body,
and there is a movement afoot
to provide them with proper
quarters and planned recrea
tion.
“What is going to become of
the teen-agers, if we don’t get
Dillon, their leader, back again?”
asked Jack Maze. “Are we to al
low this movement to die, as we
have so many other good proj
ects we’ve attempted in the
past?”
It was also pointed out, in the
committee discussion, that there
is great need for better commu
nity relations between teachers
and parents. The thought was
expressed that Palmer’s teach
ers would be much more perma
nent here, if they were taken in
and made a part of community
life.

Still another teacher demand
ed to know the board’s definition
of loyalty, saying he felt he
should have been given some
idea, when school began, as to
what the board considered the
qualities of a loyal Palmer
teacher.
The group summarized their
opinion with the statement.
“The reasons they have given us
do not stand up. There is noth
ing we as teachers can do to
protect ourselves against this
scandalous report, except to or
ganize into a body to fight it.”
Teachers asserted that they
had received reports of the
board’s action from all over
Alaska, and from as far away
as Seattle.
