formed him that the Tourist
Advisory Board, which is com
posed of about 20 members,
does not necessarily represent
the state by areas. Local resi
dents had questioned the ap
pointment of Sassara to re
present this area, contrary to
local advice which had recom
mended Muriel Reed as an ap
pointee.
The governor stated that if
and when there is a vacancy on
the board, he will give consid
eration to the appointment of
a representative from the Val
ley area.
There is a possibility that the
Legislature will wind up its
business this week, Reid said.
Since Monday all legislators
have been working without pay
and with only a skeleton crew
of employees, since the house
of representatives refused to
approve a supplemental appro
priation for continuation of per
diem and other expenses to the
taxpayers.
The main piece of business
holding the legislature in ses
sion is the highly controversial
budget, the local representative
reported. Since the senate and
house have reached a deadlock,
both chambers have appointed
members to a joint conference
committee, which is hoped will
be able to resolve the stale
mate.
“I am glad to report that the
legislation containing the Big
Lake forestry facility was pass
ed by the senate this week."
! Reid said. This item was delet
j ed from the act at one time and
S was restored only after vigor
I ous effort.
SUIT BROUGHT
AGAINST MEA
Unalakieet Enterprises has
brought suit against MEA, ac
cording to a summons served
to C. Ivan Branton. secretary
treasurer of the MEA board of
directors, yesterday afternoon.
The corporation, which went
out of business in Unalakieet
in October, 1961, charges that
poles and lines were destroyed
and that a generator owned by
the plaintiff was appropriated
for the use of MEA.
A statement issued by the
MEA board of directors today
refutes the allegations, saying
that poles and wires owned by
Unalakieet Enterprises were
in exactly the same position at
the close of the MEA construc
tion period as they were when
work began. The Unalakieet
village council issued orders to
the Eben brothers, (Unalakieet
Enterprises), to remove their
poles, lines, and equipment. It
is not known by the MEA di
rectors whether this was done.
The generator in question
was leased from the Northern
Commercial Company by MEA,
and later purchased. The bill
of sale is on file at the MEA
office.
The statement, signed by all
five members of the MEA
board of directors, says, “It is
apparent to the MEA board of
directors that this suit is a de
liberate act of harassment, in
asmuch as it was brought out
. . . two days before our annual
meeting. It is apparently inten
ded to discredit the aims, ob
jectives and wishes of the
membership . . MEA is fully
covered by insurance which
would protect the membership
in this, or any other such, mat
ter.” _
MOOSE TO INSTALL
Installation of officers will
be held Tuesday, April 19, at
the regular meeting of the Pal
mer Moose Lodge. Installing
governor will be Don Ingalls.
Enrollment of candidates will
be postponed until the special
Sunday morning breakfast on
April 21.
Place your order early for
corsages for the Junior-Sen
ior Prom on April 20.

EGG HUNTERS TO
MEET AT SCHOOL
Children who wish to take
part in the Easter Egg Hunt to
be sponsored by the Matanuska
Valley Lions Club on Sunday,
April 14, are asked to meet on
the Central school grounds at
3 p.m., Preston Williams, co
chairman of the event, said this
week.
The condition of the Palmer
city park on Walker street is
not suitable at present for an
Easter egg hunt, Williams said,
adding that the children will be
transported to a good location
from the school grounds.
"If the park dries out before
Sunday we will hold the hunt
there,” he said. “If not. we will
find another spot.”

Sports Car Racing -
(Continued from page 1)
The Anchorage car club re
I presentative pointed out that,
i there has never before been an
opportunity for sports car rac
ing in Alaska during pleasant
spring weather.
Entry fees from race car
I drivers would be sufficient to
| pay for necessary insurance,
| Woodard stated.
. The plan was given tentative
approval by the council, pend
1 ing statements of approval
| from merchants and property
, owners along the route. The
delegation was promised a def
inite answer at a special coun
cil meeting, called for Tuesday,
April 16.
Park Strip Plan
Barney Fish, Ted Schmidtke,
and Bob Pippel appeared be
fore the council with a plan
which would provide more
parking space on the east side
of Valley Street. A letter from
the Alaska Railroad was pre
sented, which stated the plan to
move the ditch ten feet closer
to the railroad would be ap
proved if drainage and com
munication lines were not im
peded. The cost of moving the
ditch and improving the park
ing area would be about $2,000,
the delegation stated, and park
ing space would be increased
about two and a half times.
Winston Gilchrist, city man
ager, recommended that the
plans as drawn up by the
Chamber of Commerce be sub
mitted to the Alaska Railroad
for approval before any action
is taken by the council.
Lucy Mick, member of the
planning commission for some
years, was present at the meet
ing to see final passage of the
long-embattled zoning ordin
ance.
Other business including set
ting Thursday, April 18. as a
possible date for meeting with
the school board to discuss bor
oughs; approval of a move to
engage Mr. Whittaker to paint
both upstairs offices in the city
hall; passage of a motion to
zone the area bounded by the
railroad tracks on the east.
Wolverine and Fourth Avenues
on the north, Valley Street on
the west, and Glenn Highway
on the south as highway com
mercial; and the second read
ing of the bad check ordinance.
