PETITION IS PERKING
Palmer's incorporation peti
tion is resting comfortably in
the hands of the surveyor work

the town boundaries, at this j
writing. He's spending time on
it, to make sure his work is ac
curate and won't have to be re
done. When the man is finished,
then Palmer residents will have
an opportunity to add their sig
natures.

Ij! Nothing fancy, nothing new,|
*Dr even nothing in good repair*

*to buy the new equipment*
*they need, but they can and!j!
*will buy the beat-up castoffs*
*they see rusting in fields*
^around the Valley, and then*
*put them into working order*
^ for another year or two. ^
* The new farmers at Kenai*
*md Knik are desperate forij;
| *lhis type of equipment. James*
i ^Hurley at the ARRC office has*
| *agreed to make a list of any*

* So, if there’s an unused piece|

*please let Mr. Hurley know.*
*He can find a homesteader*
*who will be delighted to buy*
*(or rent) it. *,
