LOCAL LIONS SELL
BROOMS TONIGHT
Broom salesmen from the
Matanuska Valley Lions Club
will ring Palmer doorbells to

The annual broom sale, con
ducted by Lions on a national
basis, is a fund-raising project
for Sight Conservation, a Lions
program to provide eye care
for the needy.
House, whisk, and push
brooms will be sold, at prices
comparable to those on the lo
cal market. The brooms are an
excellent product, made by the
Lighthouse of the Blind at
Portland. Oregon.

board, pulp and paper,” Tubbs
said.
Phil O’Neill summarized the
minerals situation in the Basin
and told of the silver lode in
the Talkeetna area now being
explored by the Anaconda
Copper Co. “If the lode proves
to be as extensive and produc
tive as presently indicated, a
proposed smelter will be in
cluded in the development
plans. That smelter alone
would be a sizable customer
for power from the Sutton El
ectrical Center,” O’Neill told
the audience.
“A symposium on power
production with the coopera
tion of the REA last year, es
tablished beyond question
that mine mouth and well head
power plants are the most ec
onomical and efficient means
of major electrical production
available today,” O'Neill stat
ed. The exception will be the
gigantic Rampart dam, but
millions of killowatts will be
needed to build Rampart.
“The entire Anchorage-Mat
anuska region is now in a bad
bind for power and something
must be done at once toward
the solution of the problem
facing us,” the MEA president
stated.
“I admire the Anchorage
City Council for going ahead
in the face of strenuous oppo
sition on the part of other in
terests to acquire the neces
sary second gas turbine.
“The stumbling blocks to
power progress in this area
must be removed. It is un
thinkable that they are there
for ulterior motives. If the
good of the area cannot be ach.
ieved, then we may considei
other sources of financing. Suf
ficient and ample money is
available to build the Suttor
Electrical Center and it can be
obtained in sixty days.”
Ted Schmidtke was maste]
of ceremonies for the lunch
eon program. Also present was
Stewart Durrant, who will
present an agricultural pro
gram to the Anchorage Cham
ber in mid-August.
