It was also announced at the
meeting Tuesday that a preview
of pictures for primary grades a!
the school would be shown on
March 3. All parents are invited
to attend the preview which will
be held immeditely after school,
according to the announcement.
Mrs. Margaret Cope also
brought the suggestion before the
P-TA for consideration, that “it
might be a good idea to have a
High School P-TA” in addition to
the present organization so that
questions pertinent to both groups
could be worked out by the two
P-TA’s.
President Sandvik reminded
P-TA members that elections are
forthcoming and named a nomin
ating committee comprised of
Mrs. Henning Blunck, Mrs. Hugh
Johnson, Mrs. Margaret Cope,
Mrs. Pat Lawton and Mrs. Charles
Schaefer.
Father James Snead, who
opened the meeting with an invo
cation was also a special guest
and presented the evening’s pro
gram of recordings. A patriotic
selection ,‘The Man Without a
Country” was given in observ
ance of Lincoln’s and Washing
ton’s birthday this month. The
recording is founded on the im
mortal story written by Edward
Everett Hale. Bing Crosby was
narrator with Frank Lovejoy
playing the part of Philip Nolan
who sailed the seas for more than
50 years never to hear his coun
try mentioned. Victor Young
composed the music and directed
the impressive story. Father
Snead also chose from his collec
tion Saint Saens “Piano Concerto
No. 2 in G Minor.”
Charles Ercegovich’s class won
the regular $2 monthly prize for
parent representation at the meet- i
mg Tuesday.

protested the inclusion of 30 acres
of his land. He stated that he did
not see where city government
could help ‘t‘his particular piece
of land.” He added that he pre
ferred to have the part of his land
that has already been subdivided
within the city. Evander Smith
represented the Co-Op, Mr. Sher
rod, and Ronald Snodgrass, who
also protested the inclusion of
j certain of his properties.
The hearing of the petition first
went before Judge Folta last Fri
day afternoon at 2 o’clock. At
torney Butcher represented the
228 signers of the petition seek
ing the incorporation of Palmer
as a city of the first class. At that
session it was pointed out that
following a meeting here last
fall when the water shortage was
discussed with the health and
welfare council, a committee of
business men was formed to study
and work for incorporation. It
was felt that necessary funds for
an adequate water system could
only be raised through municipal
government. On that committee
were A1 Hagen, Frank Brown,
Steve Ward, Matt Perkins and
John L. Sullivan.
At Friday’s hearing members
of the committee and Palmer
business men who appeared to
speak in favor of incorporation
included William Head, Howard
Andresen, Jack Maze, Steve
Ward, Frank Brown, A1 Hagen
and R. E. Demming.
Mr. Andresen of the Bureau of
Reclamation’s Eklutna project
here, testified that the water
shortage an dthe attendant prob
lem of inferior housing accommo
dations, made it difficult for
ESklutna project to keep em
ployes. Mr. Andresen also point
ed out the increasing need for
police protection with the influx
of construction workers during
the five-year-run of the project
here.
