tains lots of protein. What the
cows need is plenty of energy
food, readily supplied by
ground barley. No additional
protein is required.
Additional savings may be
realized by widening the milk
grain ratio while good green
forage is at hand. The Matan
uska Farm herd is now receiv
ing only one pound of barley
for every 5 pounds of milk A
ratio of one to eight or one to
ten may offer more savings de
pending on forage quality,
herd production, and the re
turn for milk.
As forage quality falls in
late summer, the milk-grain
ratio must be closed up, and
some protein should be again
restored in the grain portion of
the herd's ration.

trie association to arrive at a!
boundary agreement. Such an !
agreement will also be sought1
with Golden Valley Electric as
sociation in Fairbanks.
The purpose of these Boun
dary agreements is not neces
sarily to expand the area lim
its, but to arrive at a reason
able common boundary based
on ability to serve, which will
guarantee that new’ industry
and other developments can be
provided with energy by one
of the utilities so that economic j
growth in the area will not be '
hindered.

quested that MEA consider
applying for the loan to com- j
plete generation facilities in
Unalakleet, and to reimburse
MEA general funds expend

ed there.
The primary reason was that |
the loan could be processed
much more rapidly to MEA, as
an organization with all the
existing staff to administer its
expenditure and to operate the
utility. At such time as REA
agrees the Unalakleet Valley
Electric cooperative is capable
of administering and operating
the system, MEA will relin
quish control.
MEA’s Board of Directors ac
cordingly requested the loan,
and it will be administered en
tirely separate from MEA busi
ness. It is entirely probable that
after UVEC assumes operation.

Gruelling Introduces Gill to nid Home
Owners Correct Faults in FHA Houses
Senator Gruening has intro
duced a bill, that would permit
the Federal Housing Adminis
tration to pay to the mortga
gor under an FHA-insured
mortgage the reasonable costs
of correcting structural or
other major defects which re
quire correction in order to
bring the dwelling into sub
stantial conformity with plans
and specifications approved by
the FHA commissioner.
He explained that the Al
aska congressional delegation
recently has received num
erous complaints from the
purchasers of approximate
ly SO prefabricated homes
near Anchorage. He staled
* QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: My husband
died three years ago. I will be
come 62 years of age next
month and would like to know
if I should file my application
for benefits now or should I
wait until I am 65?
ANSWER: You may file
your application as much as
three months before you reach
age 62. We suggest you file
your application at the earliest
opportunity, as there is no re
duction in a widow’s benefit if
she files at 62. You will need
proof of your marriage and
your husband’s social security
number when you call at o u r
office. If you have a social se
curity number of your own be
sure to bring your card with
you.
QUESTION: I’m past 65 but
still working. I understand that
since I make over $1,200 I can’t
get social security payments.
Is this true?
ANSWER: No, it isn’t. If you
make over $1,200 you can’t get
all your social security pay
ments for the year, but you
may be able to get some of
them. It depends on how much
you make over $1,200, and
how many months during the
year you work, and how much
you and your family are pay
able in benefits.
QUESTION: Who would be
nefit if the retirement test were
removed?
ANSWER: Roughly, only
about 18 per cent of the 11.1
million people aged 65 or over
who are receiving benefits or
are eligible to receive them.
For more information about
your social security, write to:
Social Security Administra
tion, P.O. Box 1331, Juneau,
Alaska.
that the FHA has been asked
by the delegation to make an
investigation.
The bill, however, would
provide relief to homeowners
or home purchasers where
there has been “gross under,
compliance with FHA specifi
cations, both in the construc
tion of the homes in the lower
48 states and the installation of
them in Alaska." Senator Gru
ening protested that such un
dercompliance had occurred
“despite the fact that FHA had
supposedly established an in
spection system at both loca
tions and proper certifications,
of inspections and compliance
had been issued.
“In the course of our discus
sions with the officials of the
FHA,” he said, “they pointed
out that even though these
homes were represented to the
prospective purchasers as ‘FHA
insured,’ the FHA claimed
there was no legal liability up
on the FHA to insure that the
houses delivered met the stand
ards of specifications establish
ed by the FHA. This situation
should not be permitted to con
tinue.”
ANOTHER SMALL
INDUSTRY
BY
JIM FREY
The preservation of Ber
ries in the form of reiish,
sauce, jams, jellies and
frozen desserts offer an ex
cellent opportunity.
Local bakeries and res
taurants would no doubt
cooperate to serve Alaskan
berry products.
Many fine recipes are
available, berries will soon
be here. All that is needed
is incentive and the human
touch.
