Prices and Wages
Must Remain Stable,
Writer Asserts
Sylvia F. Porter writes, in
Life magazine: "To stay com
petive, we will have to restrain
increases in prices and wages
and w ill have to invest increas
ing billions in modernizing our
factories and equipment. To
stay ahead in this trade race,
we must step up our research
to develop new, cheaper, more
appealing products and get
back to hard-selling practices
in order to bring our quality
products to customers at attrac
tive prices. None of this is go
ing to be easy. “We’ve had a
long period of comparatively
soft living in the markets of the
world, and getting back to any
job always is tough. But Am
ericans always have thrived on
competition. There is no justi
fication for believing we won’t
continue to thrive on it.”
Many a man comes up with
a theory not backed up with
facts.

THE ODDS
Take things as they come—
only one in a million catches
up with that promising future.
The cost of making excuses
is small—it’s getting witnesses
to back them up that is expen
sive.
OPTIMISTIC
Tax Foundations tells us
what federal budget cuts would
mean to American families. A
$1 billion reduction, it says,
would allow each family of
four to keep $18 and spend it
the way it wishes, instead of
paying it out in taxes.

ALFRED P. STEGER
Chief, Lands Section
;hed May 31, June 7, 14, 21 anc
1962
Palmer City Planning Com
mission has proposed a system
for renaming the city’s streets
as shown in the accompanying
drawing. The purpose of the
new plan is to establish a logi
cal numerical and alphabetical
system that will be adaptable
to the growing city’s needs.
The present Valley street and
the east-west portion of the
Glenn highway through town
were used as the primary di
vision lines, north and south,
east and west. Names begin
ning with A were selected for
these two streets. Other streets
were assigned names with in
itial letters in alphabetical or
der away from the two pri
mary streets. East and west
streets were designated “Ave
nues,” and north-south streets
were named “Streets.”
Four categories of names
were used. Avenues north of
the present Glenn highway,
now shown as Arctic Avenue,
were named for animals, and
the avenues to the south were
named for plants. The streets
east of the present Valley
Street, renamed Alaska Street,
were named for mountains,
and west of Alaska Street the
names are the name of Alaska
pioneers, especially Matanuska
Valley pioneers.
Thoroughfares running other
directions than due north-south
or east-west were named Ways.
The two principal such streets
—Colony and Railroad—would
keep those names with the sub
stitution of “way” for “street.”
In other cases, such ways
would be given the name of
the street or avenue they most
nearly join or continue.
The prefixes of N.. S., E. or
W. would be added to each
street or avenue to designate
on which side of the two pri
mary lines the thoroughfare is
located. For instance, North
Alaska Street is that portion
north of Arctic Avenue; and
East Arctic Avenue is that por
tion east of Alaska Street.
In some cases the initial al
phabetical letter is repeated,
for instance Denali and Drum
streets. This was necessary
where blocks are smaller than
the basic 330-x-660-feet grid
pattern. For the purpose of
numbering the street lots, num
bers would be set up at rough
ly 100 to a grid, but number
ing would be related to cross
streets primarily so that num
bers would not change to a
different grid in the middle of
a block.
The above plan has not been
accepted as final by the City
Council and citizens may let
the council know their ideas
on the above proposal.
Plan your next carefully—
it’s easy to get the other fellow
to compromise if he realizes
you have the best of it.
