Recipients Ponder
MEA $2,000 Grant
Lee Emmert, superintendent of
■schools in Chugiak, was in atten
dance at the Matanuska Electric
Association' board of directors’
meeting on October 24 for clari
fication of the $2,000 grant which
MEA voted to give the Chugiak
area. Charles Wilson, board mem
ber, pointed out that this amount
is not in lieu of taxes, as was
previously announced, but rather
a fund being set up for the use
of the Chugiak schools. Mr. Em
mert stated that any such money,
spent under MEA supervision (as
proposed) would not be in accord
with public schools. Such an
agreement betwen MEA and the
Chugiak committee would have
to be approved by the Territor
ial Department of Education he
pointed out. He presented a ten
tative budget of how the money
would be spent, along with a pro
posed agreement between the
Chugiak committee and MEA,
both of which will be studied by
the MEA directors for further ac- j
tion.
A number of visitors were in
attendace at the meeting but only
three were there for any other
reason than to listen. Mrs. Gene
Kirsch requested the board of di
rectors grant her permission to
secure the MEA mailing list to
bring the Tuberculosis Seal cam
paign list up to date. She offered
to act as a clearing agent for
other worthy drives who would
also have need for the list. No
decision was made on her re
quest.
Vernon Haik, CD director in
the greater Chugiak area, re
quested pole installation so that
electricity may be provided to
the CD headquarters building lo
cated approximately 300 feet
north of Spring Creek Lodge. He
was advised to get an application
into the MEA office.
Board members diseased ways
in which some type of asisstance
could be given to the local hos
pital. Any special rate accorded
the hospital would have to have
REA approval. The matter was
tabled for further discussion
when a full board is present.
A number of letters were read,
many of which required full
board action and were tabled for
a future meeting. Free use of the
pole digger was granted the City
of Palmer for digging an experi
mental drain; the purchase of a I
radio for the truck was approv

KETCHIKAN BIDS FOR
LEAGUE CONVENTION
An invitation to hold its 1956
Convention in Ketchikan has
been sent by the City’s mayor to
the League of Alaska Cities.
Mayor J. H. Goding of Ketchi
kan submitted the invitation for
presentation at the Convention
to be held in Palmer beginning
next Monday.
In a letter addressed to League
President Harold R. Painter of
Seward, Mayor Goding said:
“As the first Southeastern Al
aska city to become a member of
the League of Alaskan Cities, I
would like to extend, on behalf
of the City of Ketchikan, an in
vitation to the League to hold its
1956 annual convention in our
city. I feel this would give offi
cials of the cities of other divi
sions an opportunity to learn at
first hand some of our problems
and that the holding of an annu
al convention in Ketchikan would
stimulate the interest of other
cities in this area in activities of
the jbeague.
“Ketchikan has adequate facil
ities to accommodate the delega
tes and for the conducting of the
busines affairs of the convention,
we would welcome an inspection
of the facilities of the City of
Ketchikan and the $60,000,000
plant of the Ketchikan Pulp
Company by the delegates in at
tendance.”
Ketchikan joined the League
earlier this year.
Mr. J. H. Goding was elected
Mayor of Ketchikan at the Octo
ber 4, election replacing George
Beck who did not seek re-elec
tion.
Final decision as to location of
the 1956 Convention will be made
by the Executive Committee of
the League following the annual
meeting here. Previous League
conventions have been held in
Anchorage, Kodiak, Seward, Cor
dova and Fairbanks.

mends that those eligible for vac
cinations receive their injections
as soon as vaccine is available in
a community. Because of a short
supply, it was explained, it will
be necessary to recall unused vac
cine after two months in order
to send it for use in other com
munities.
Plans for the dispersal of the
Salk vaccine in the local areas
will be announced as soon as
plans are formulated.
GIRL SCOUTS PLAN
UNIQUE 'TRICK OR TREAT'
FOR HALLOWEEN NIGHT
Although the stores have re
ported good sales on “trick or
treat” items there will be one
group of youngsters ringing door
bells on Monday night who voted
to forgo the treats and make it
an evening of helping others.
Girl Scouts of Troop 33 hope
to cover the entire city area Mon
day night, knocking on doors—
ringing bells—seeking used cloth
ing and canned grocery items.
The girls plan to clean, mend
and press all usable clothing which
along with the canned goods,
will then be turned over to wel
fare agencies for distribution.
Several Boy Scouts and other
young-men-of-the-valley, will ac
company the girls and lend a
hand in the collection. The collec
tions will be made between 7 and
9 p.m., following which the group
will gather at the Lovejoy home
for a short Halloween party.
Each of the aircraft carrier
USS FORRESTAL’s four propel
lers measure more than 22 feet
or the height of a two-story
dwelling.
