Bible Camp
Opens Season
Camping for young people
or the entire family is offered
at the Sunny Knik Bible Camp,
according to Chester Burden,
camp manager.
Interdenominational, the
camp operates through campers
fees, time donated by inter
ested workers, and gifts of food
brought by campers and
friends.
Now in its sixth season, the
camp will operate for seven
weeks, beginning with the June
4 through June 9 session for
teen-age boys. June 11 through
16 is reserved for boys aged 10
to 12. while those between the
ages of 7 and 9 may attend
June 25 through 30.
Everyone is invited to family
camp July 2 through 7. Burden
said. Girls’ camps begin July
9 through 14 for ages 7 to 9,
with those aged 10 to 12 at
tending July 16 through 21.
Teen-age girls may attend the
camp July 23 through 28.
The camp is located 27 miles
from Palmer and 15 miles from
Wasilla on the Knik-Goose Bay
Road. For further information

4-H'ERS BEGIN DRIVE
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
XING'S LAKE CAMP
To help raise their share of
the cost of adding the new kit
chen to King’s Lake Camp, 4-H
members in the Valley are sell
ing 1962 annual memberships
in King’s Lake Camp Associa
tion. Memberships are $2.00
per person. A badly needed
new kitchen will be in use at
the camp this year.
The users group voted to
pro-rate the cost of the kitchen
among the groups as an assess
ment, rather than increase
camp dues. The total 4-H as
sessment is near $600.00 with
$150.00 of this amount to be
paid annually.
King’s Lake Camp is operat
ed by a non-profit association
similar in structure to the Val
ley Hospital Association. It is
the hope of the board of direc
tors that many more valley
people will become active
members of the association.

Dear Editor:
It appears that, thru editor

and other means, we are being
subjected to a rather intensive
propaganda effort which aims
to promote the large borough
concept. I do not intend to dis
cuss whether the Times might
better serve its readers by pre
senting both sides of the ques

appear to me there is a definite
need that someone question
some of the arguments of the
large burough advocates lest
they become accepted as facts
by default. The large burough
advocated generally included
the area from Mt. McKinley to
Seward or some major portion
thereof.
Generally the arguments ad
vanced assume a two-fold na
ture. First; we are told that a
larger area could plan better,
and second: we are told that
operation of the functions of a
large bureau would be more
economical. Let us consider
these briefly to see if they hold
up.
Some of the arguments ad
vanced, apparantly in all ser
iousness, are ridiculous and
such is apparant to almost all.
For example, a certain gentle
man has advocated the large
borough because it could raise
and equip its own army in time
of emergency. The absurdity of
such arguments is so apparant
that nothing need be said to1
refute them. However, they are
typical of the reasoning these
large burough advocates em
ploy. Actually, it is readily ap
parant that the Knik forms a
natural boundary between us
and the area to the south.!
There will never be any but
state roads connecting the two
areas. This doesn’t mean we
are going to fued or fight with
them. It does mean that local
planning for the two areas can
i best be done separately. The j
wider planning can be done at j
a state level.
The idea apparantly is being
promoted that by banding to
gether we can dominate the re
mainder of the state and thus
gain more advantages. I sub
mit that regardless of the size
of any buroughs we may be in
that in the future, as in the
past, we will work together
when our interests coincide and
will not work together w’hen
they do not. This is illustrated
today by the electric power sit
uation.
I think it is wrong on prin
ciple to advocate a large bur
ough because it would domin
ate the rest of the state even
if such were true.
The functions of the bur
oughs will be schools, planning,
tax assessment and collection
with secondary roads perhaps
thrown in. Some buroughs may
select additional responsibilit
ies. Let us consider these func
tions from the standpoint of
economy. Take schools first. I
doubt that anyone advocates
closing the Palmer and Wasilla
schools and transporting the
pupils to Anchorage. Will hav
ing a burough seat in Anchor
age make it cheaper to operate
the schools in Palmer? There
are going to be certain incon
veniences if the superintendent
is moved to Anchorage and no
one left here in charge. We
would have to diwe to Anchor
age to see him. If he remains
here, then where is the saving
Would having officials from
Anchorage make periodic su
pervisory trips cat down ex
penses? Now, naturally there
are situations where increasing
the size of the District reduces
per pupil cost. Tnis is where

different buildings can be elim
inated by transporting pupils to
a central school. Such is not
the case with the purposed
large bureau. Here there would
be no per pupil saving but
rathr increased cost per pupil
and some disadvantage in los
ing local control. For example,
our local teachers would be
hired by an area wide school
board rather than the local
board.
Well, if there is no saving in
school operation then how
about such things as tax assess
ing and collecting. This is an
important and costly item and
surely should be considered.
Would we move the Tax Office
to Anchorage? If so, then the
dozens of people who call at
the local office each week for
various reasons would have
somewhat further to drive.
There is also some question
that they would find as much
understanding of their local
problems. The assessor work
ing out of Anchorage would
collect mileage for 100 addit
ional miles each trip in addi
tion to a minimum of two hours
time lost. Anyone questioning
his valuation would drive to
Anchorage and in the end ap
pear there before a borough as
sembly, most of who had no
knowledge of our local condi
tions. This Board would also be
loaded with problems from
other areas.
Suppose, on the other hand,
that a branch tax office were
maintained here in Palmer with
the head office in Anchorage.
Where would the saving be?
Could they get a building for
lower rent-’ Could it be handled
with less help'.’ Would the mon
thly phone bill be less? I can
not see where the large bur
ough so ardently advocated
would save a cent in this field.
It seems certain, on the other
hand, that it would increase the
cost of assessing and collecting
taxes while at the same time
tending somewhat to remove
the control of the office from
the local people who support it.
If there is any office which the
local people want to retain con
uui ui, inis is n.
Well, how about roads? As 11
pointed out above, there will
be no secondary roads connect
ing our area with that south of
the Knik. What roads are in
this area will be built and
maintained by equipment
which is kept in this area. I fail
to see where cost of this neces
sary equipment will be less
simply because the control of
it is vested in a distant boro
ugh seat. There will need to be
an operator in either case. The
only difference appears to be
that in the case of a smaller
unit the operator could also be
in control under the burough
assembly while with the large
burough it would be necessary
for a supervisor to make fre
quent and costly inspection vis
its. I fail utterly to see where
this would result in any sav
ing.
Perhaps, only one thing re
mains to be covered. This is the
argument, so often advanced,
that Anchorage has so much as
sessible wealth that it would
be a great boon to us to be join
ed with them. Naturally, no one
can question the fact that the
Anchorage area does have
great wealth as compared to
districts such as our own. I
think any official of that area
will also agree that they have
infinitely more needs to meet.
It will take a far more compre
hensive and intelligent study
than anyone has made thus far
to determine accurately how
their ratio of assessible wealth
to needs compares with our
own ratio.
Therefore, since it would not
facilitate planning and as it
would result in increased costs
rather than economies I think
the people of this area should
think long and hard before sub
scribing to the large burough
concept.
