Artists, Writers
May Enter Emblem,
Slogan Contest
Artists and writers in Alaska
are not barred from entering
the emblem and slogan contest
being conducted by the Alaska
state centennial commission,
according to Boh Arnold, exec
utive director of the commis
sion. A number of inquiries
have been received in Juneau,
he said from artists who ask
whether they are eligible.
“These people—artists, archi
tects, and writers—are not only
not barred from entering, but
they're very welcome’” Arnold
said. “What the commission
seeks is the very best design
and most magical slogan for
Alaska’s 1967 event that can be
created.”
The contest which closes on
Nov. 30. offers $1,000 to the
person submitted the winning
emblem entry for the event
and $300 to the person submit
ting the winning slogan entry.
Arnold said the only persons
not eligible for the contest are
members of the Alaska state
centennial commission, the de
partment of economic develop
ment and planning, within
which the commission is lo
cated, and members of their
families.
Entries are being received
throughout the state with ideas
for emblems and slogans which
could be used on pins, medal
lions, and publications, the
commission’s director said. The
full details regarding the con
test may be obtained by writ
ing Box 1421, Juneau.

Location of Plant, 6&T
Problems Unresolved
MEA will continue to pursue
a course toward eventual con
struction of a source of electric
power at the mine mouth, Ma
son LaZelle, MEA manager
said today.
MEA members who feel that
such a plant is a necessity are
working toward the same goal,
and of course have more lati
tude to explore other methods
than those available to MEA.
he added.
Reviewing events of recent
weeks, LaZelle reported on a
conference held with Norman
Clapp, REA administrator,
members of his staff, and rep
resentatives of the CEA, HEA,
and MEA.
Clapp reiterated his state
ment, made to MEA personnel
in Washington several weeks
ago, that it appeared that a
16-megawatt gas turbine would
be needed for peaking during
the winter of 1965, and it there
fore would probably be com
mitted quite soon. The location
would be in the Knik Arm
plant in Anchorage.
The administrator also stated
that it appeared at this time
that the major unit to be built
in the future (33 megawatt)
would be constructed at Knik
Arm, and would burn coal.
No commitment has been
made by REA to date on either
of the proposed units, to MEA's
knowledge, LaZelle said.
When MEA representatives
were told of this decision in
Washington, D. C. several
weeks ago, they informed both
Clapp and Sen. Gruening that
the local cooperative is firmly
convinced that if the plant is
constructed in Anchorage, it
will not burn coal.
MEA officials feel that the
local coal producer is not in a
position to compete well with
other fossil fuels when the
market is in the Anchorage
area. They pointed out that,
with a mine mouth plant, the
r
producer can control every step
of the mining process, from pit
to plant, also that a market at
the mine mouth will allow the
j producer to compete more ef
fectively in the Anchorage
market.
Clapp was informed that it
is the intention of the people
of the Matanuska Valley to fos
ter construction of a plant at
the mine mouth by any means
possible.
From MEA’s point of view, a
! mine mouth plant offers the
; only advantage in joining the
; proposed generation and trans
I mission cooperative, the MEA
manager said. All three cooper
! atives and REA have averred
their belief in the G and T con
cept.
However, under present con
ditions, if MEA becomes a
member of the proposed G & T,
our wholesale power costs will
rise immediately about 10 per
cent. The reason for this is
that the present REA-financed
generation and transmission
system has sources which vary
in cost KWH of production
from 6.8 mills to 14.1 mills.
In contrast to this, and based

uporr a fuel cost of 25 cents
per million BTU’s at the mine
mouth, and 36 cents per million
BTU's in Anchorage, a 33 MW
unit will produce for approxi
mately 5.6 mills for KWH for
Sutton and 7.2 mills per KWH
for Anchorage.
MEA figures indicated that
average system cost would be,
over a 10-year period, 11.7 mills
per KWH for the Sutton plant,
and 12.03 mills per KWH for
the Anchorage location. REA
figures showed the difference
to be .3 mills in favor of the
Anchorage location—no radical
difference, the MEA manager
pointed out.
The MEA argument that with
so slight a difference the other
economic factors should be con
sidered has not yet been ac
cepted by REA.
Although MEA will continue
to work toward a G & T. the
question of representation has
not yet been settled. The CEA
board of directors is now ask
ing for a working majority on
both membership and board of
directors, which would insure
that cooperative control under
any conditions. MEA feels that
this point must be settled be
lore going on to other facets of
G & T organization.

after restoration of power, a
breaker at the Palmer station
also locked out.
LaZelle said that the brief
planned outages during the
past two weeks have been
necessary to allow the Bureau
of Reclamation to work on the
relocation of the transmission
line structure. During these
periods, the Matanuska Valley
is being served from Reed
substation on MEA’s alternate
line. The manager said that
this line is working at full ca
pacity, and in the future will
not be able to carry the load
for this area.
SEVEN TO RUN
FOR TRUSTEE
Seven persons have declared
their intention to run for the
five trustee posts in the Big
Lake second da - city incor
poration election set for next
Tuesday. Nov. 5
They are Frank L. Smith, Al
1 bert A Hubbard. Leland E
Twing, Edward L. Ingram.
George Dodge, Rolend Blank,
and Beulah Hobson.
The election ballots will in
clude space for write-in candi
dates, a spoke-man said.
If the vote for incorporation
is successful, the five trustees
will set up a temporary city
government and will arrange
for an election to detemine the
kind of city government the
area will have. At this future
election, city officials would
also be chosen.
Persons instituting the move
for incorporation at Big Lake
(a 19 square mile area) cite the
need for police and fire protec
tion, also roads, garbage dispo
sal, and water pollution con
trol.
Those opposing the incorpor
ation move fear that the re
creation potential of the area
will be destroyed if taxes are
levied on property owners,
most of whom are not perman
residents of the area.
The election will be held at
the Big Y Grocery.
