VA ASKS FOR INCOME REPORTS
This year’s income reporting
time begins again in December
for 372 disabled veterans and
225 dependents of deceased
ex-servicemen who are now re
ceiving Veterans Administra
tion pension in Alaska. John
C. Denny, manager of the VA i
regional office in Juneau, ex
plained this week.
Along with their Nov. 30
checks, all VA pension recip
ients will receive enclosed
questionnaire cards. They car
ry the words "Please do not j
mutilate.” It is important that j
these instructions be followed. :
On these cards, beneficiaries
must report all income receiv
ed during 1963 and that expect
ed in 1964. Income means
everything including Social Se
curity payments except, of
course, the VA pension pay
ments themselves.
The law requires the VA to
use the reports to determine
continued eligibility of pen
sioners and in some cases to
make adjustments on the basis
of increased or decreased out
side income.
Prompt and accurate report
ing can prevent any hold-up in
pension payments.

COUNCIL CONSIDERS ALL-NI6HT
PARKING PROBLEM ON CITY STREETS
Problems of business people
with establisments on down
town streets and of city street
maintenance were discussed at
the Nov. 26 meeting of the
Palmer city council when Mrs.
Pat Wells of the Matanuska
Hotel appeared before tne
group to ask permission to cov
er the “No Parking” signs in
front of her establishment
when street cleaning is not
necessary.
Councilmen, after pointing
out that one exception would
result in others; that unexpect
ed snowfalls often come dur
ing the night, which might re
sult in guests being routed out
of bed to move their cars; that
the city zoning ordinance re
quires the establishment of off
street parking for such estab
lishments; and that if the signs
are covered, legalities would
prevent snow removal from the
streets for a period as long as
48 hours after being uncovered,
agreed that the request could
not be granted.
The council moved that the
amount specified in the budget
for support of the ski program
be alloted to the PTA after Hal
Loomis, representing the PTA
ind the ski club, asked that the
:ouncil again assist the pro
gram.
George Hedla, of Hedla and
Sherwood, Certified Public Ac
;ountants, presented the 1963
audit report of the city ac
counts. Hedla suggested that
the council consider a raise in
water rates to make the water
department self-sufficient, and
that the city property rax be
lowered proportionately.
A letter from the state alco
holic beverages control board
stated that it would be impos
sible to act on a recommenda
tion made by the council for a
15-day closure of a local liquor
estabiishment as a penalty for
liquor violations until after the
outcome of charges pending
against the establishment is
determined.
The city manager announced
that alph Moore had been
named civil defense director
for the city of Palmer.
The council authorized the
city manager to contribute pipe
owned by the city to the sew
er contractor for construction
of 300 feet of line at Central
school; also to make arrange
ments with Joe Curtis to set
up a dog pound.
Indiana Girl Designs This Year’s
Tuberculosis Ass’n Christmas Seal
The classic objectives of the
Christmas Seal campaign —
health, happiness and a better
life for all—shine through un
mistakably in the gay, affirm
ative-keyed seals designed by
Judith Campbell Piussi.
Judith Campbell Piussi is
a graduate of DePauw Univer
sity where she studied fin'1
arts. From her South Bend, In
diana home she progressed to
Paris to study painting at L’Ac
ademic de la Grande Chau
miere, then went on to Florence
for further study.
The Christmas Seal design
selected each year to spear
head the annual campaign for
funds is chosen by a commit
tee composed of tuberculosis
workers representative of the
country as a whole. The com
mittee usually meets during
October. Because of the time
involved in production, the
committee selects a design
which will be used two years
later.
Many eminent artists have
contributed to the progress of
the Christmas Seal Campaign
by designing seals which con
veyed the spirit of this nation
wide endeavor to wipe out a
tragic disease.
Alaskan artists and art stu
dents are invited to submit
ideas on the design for future
Christmas Seals. An awrard of
$1,000 is offered to the artist
whose design is selected. Write
to the Alaska Tuberculosis A
sociation, 110 Seward St., Ju
neau, Alaska 99801, for th“
pamphlet "A Call for Artists"
which gives information on
Christmas Seal specifications
and the procedure used in hav
ing designs reviewed by the
committee that has the respor.
sibility of selection. The Tu
berculosis Association alsa has
seals from previous years that
may be of interest to artists
and may be had by written re
quest.
