‘School Board Elects
Jack Maze President,
Mulls Hi School Site
Jack Maze officiated as presi
dent of the Palmer Independent
School District Board for the first
time last week at the regular
meeting Wednesday, October 2.
Participating for the first time
in a School Board meeting was
the newly appointed member, Bill
"Roark, who was appointed to fill
the place vacated by Lucius Ross,
August 15. The remainder of Mr.
Ross’ term will be filled by elec
tion at the regular school board
election held in the spring. Maze
was elected to fill Ross’s office as
president of the Board.
The immediate problem facing
the school board since the peo
ple’s mandate approved up to a
million dollar bond issue for the
new high school, is where to put
the new school. There has been
some dissatisfaction with the site
owned by the school district on
the block-square lot behind the
present school building. The new
high school, according to full
plans for a gymnasium and an
auditorium, would take up a large
share of the lot, leaving little
room for playing fields and space
for other outdoor recreational ac
tivities.
A few other possible sites have
Jaeen mentioned, among them the
Snodgrass property adjoining Pal
mer’s east city limits and the
north side of Airport Road, some
of John Bugge’s property just
west of the city limits, and a par
cel of the Swanson property in
North Palmer.
QUICK,
SAID THE POLICE CHIEF,
SEND ME THE LAW
Capt. W. C. Allen, formerly of
the Palmer merchant patrol and
now chief of police in Valdez,
asked the Valley Frontiersman
to send him down copies of Pal
mer’s new police code and mis
demeanor ordinance.
It seems that the Valdez City
Council went through the throes
of adopting these ordinances
many years ago, and now—guess
what! They can’t find a single
copy in existence.

ADDITIONAL WORKERS
NEEDED FOR SKI-TOW
“Poor showing”, was the con
sensus of opinion of Matanuska
Outing club members who went
to Susitna this past Sunday to
work on the ski-tow. Although
hindered by fresh fallen snow,
the small work crew cut brush
and got platform planking to the
top of the ski' run.
“If we are going to have a ski
tow this winter, more members
will have to turn out and give us
a hand”, club president, Mel Mon
son, said this week. “We need sev
eral more men to help raise the
motor on the platform”, and add
ed, “a few more snowfalls and it
will be too late to complete the
tow this year.”
Seven Junior members of the
club helped clear a large area of
brush. A very successful “moose
burger roast” was conducted by
the Juniors, followed by a song
fest by the group at the Little
Susitna Lodge.
All member are urged to join
the group Sunday, October 14,
when another attempt will be
made to complete the tow.
