any effort on the part cf the Boarc!
or the Management to prevent any
useful or justifiable criticism of
their management would be a very
bad mistake, just cs we felt when
the A.R.R.C. tried to use this
function as an excuse for removing
a Colonist from the land, as in the
LeBuc case last spring.
When the Board f Directors ~r
the Managex refuse to listen to the
c mplaints of the members .of the
Cooperative, r can't explain why
certain actions are taken, then we
too will be for a recall, but after
serving on the Board and observing
their policies for some time, we do
not believe that this can be truly j
said of these men.
All of this trouble was, we be
lieve, a good thing for cur Corpor
ative, because it decided whether
or not our Board wr.s to cater to a
minority group that we suspect is
not working fcr the good of the
Cooperative, but who arc hoping to
gelr control rnd then establish a
regime of favoritism which would
finally wreck oUr Corporative,
In n sh;rt time, another Annual
meeting will be held, and three
Directors will be chosen again. It
would, be well to consider this fact
and to bc0in thinking about the men
wno win oe cnosen.
Finally, v/c believe that the
people of the tfntanuska Valley,
have the ability to govern them
selves if allowed to do so, with
out interference, and that they
have the stamina to meet the ob
stacles that must be vere'me to
devel'pe the farms an-’ the Coopera
tive. If the Matanuska Project hnc
been successful and were now well
established, who would claim the
credit? To you think it is
fair to blame the farmers for the
fact that it has been impossible
to accomplish the things that were
aimed at when the Pr'ject was
started? Even while we do not seer
to have made the progress that we
should have, yet the Editor feels
that we have come a long way and.
would like to know where it has
been done any faster or better.
After forty years of ebservatior
on the part of the Editor of pro
jects of this nature, scattered
from California to Montana, we
can't seem to recall a single place
where it was much better, and, in
lots of instances, the conditions
were much better than were met by
the farmers. Twenty-five years
from now, we might be prepared t->
state definately whether or not the
Project was a success. Remember

The heat f-r the show room comes
from the same boiler and < ff of the
same steam line which provides heat
for the two radiators that are in
the lobby where tickets arc s Id.
Anyone may therefore check at any
time to see whether cr not the
boiler is furnishing suffici;nt
stetm. In the past it usually has.
One Friday night 'f last N vember,
a mechanical breakdown prevented us
from pr 'viding heat between seven
and eight-thirty p.n.
The show room is heated witn fans,
which create a circulation ■ f dry
air that hastens evap ration of
bodily moisture, thus c .olin0 the
body as a breeze dees n a hot sum
mer day. This of course emphasizes
any discomfort that may already ex
ist fr im lack of heat.
The show room is pocrly insulated.
The ceiling contains a multitude of
large crevices that lead directly
tr' a current -f air from t' : out
side. Sometimes young pe. pie en
hance this architectural weakness
by getting into the attic, zoning
the large ceiling ventilat rs and
leaving them fer someone else to
find and close.
Another cause is our own tY ught
lessness. Many of us use tne en
trance .>r exit doors with out clos
ing them behind us. .'/lien these
dorrs are left open the fans set up
a down draft from the attic t. the
floor ^f the hall and then force
the warm air out of the open door.
If anyone wishing u m ■ re th r' u6h
knowledge of cur heating arrange
ment will call at the offic f the
school, I shall be very glad to ex
plain it's details to him.
