We’re
“up a
tree”
to build
a better
tomorrow
Think, about the juture when you
see one of our men high up on a
power pole.
We’re heavying up our power
lines now to meet the booming
demand for power that is devel
oping throughout the rural areas.
Here’s what’s happening:
Our rural electric system started
out by supplying mainly farms
and homes. We still do. But the
great migration of Americans into
rural areas has increased the need
for rural electricity beyond all
expectations. Now we supply
many more homes plus schools,
churches, rural businesses, and
industrial plants. We’re happy to
serve our community well to help
it grow and prosper.
All of this means more demand
for electricity, more and heavier
power lines . . . and a better to
morrow -jor rural people who are
served by our rural electric system.

Borough Chairman
PLATFORM
Being trained in the Engineering field, it is inherent in my thinking to obtain results in a
logical step by step process with the most direct means possible. I believe in little talk
and positive results. It is time the many studies were placed into being. If we depend
continually on outside industry to vitalize this area, we shall be forever waiting for
that day to come. I believe in assisting someone who is helping himself; who indicates
that if given the initial push, he can go the rest of the way under his own power. It
seems to me that investors feel the same; and therefore, I believe we should begin to es
tablish the basic industry and attitude to encourage investment not only from outside,
but particularly from within this area.
1. GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THE ADMINISTRA
TOR OF THE PUBLIC FUND.
I believe that the public endeavors wanted by the
people can most economically be accomplished
through the utilization of competitive contracts. I
see no need for extensive governmental formation,
but rather, a small group of qualified administra
tive officers dedicated to the use of Public Funds
for Public Good and the minimum staff necessary
to administer the mandatory powers.
2. TO IMPLEMENT INTRA STATE TOURISM.
I believe that we must encourage the State and
ourselves to plan and complete a Loop Road Sys
tem which would include roadside parks. State
parks, and recreational areas that will draw more
resident tourists to this area.
3. BUILD THE SUTTON ELECTRICAL PLANT.
I believe most of us are convinced of its feasibility,
its need, its importance to the economy. We, as di
rect recipients of its benefit, have the right and the
responsibility to invest in its being. How we ap
proach this matter should be placed before the peo
ple for their appraisal.
4. PAYROLLS THROUGHOUT THE BOROUGH.
I believe that area-wide representation within
Boards and Groups interested in development
would promote complimentary industries, greater
utilization of our resources, and add depth to pro
grams being proposed by individual communities.
5. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BOROUGH SEAT.
During the Transition period, the major adminis
tration and co-ordination of existing programs
would dictate a temporary Borough seat at Palmer.
It would not be my responsibility as Chairman, nor
within my jurisdiction to stipulate any permanent
location, but I do believe that the Borough Assem
bly would do well to place the question on the
ballot at the end of a 5 year period; that the ma
jority of the people would determine the per
manent seat.
S. ENTRUST THE BOROUGH ASSEMBLY WITH THE
POWERS OF A FIRST-CLASS BOROUGH.
The decisions, negotiations and transactions which
shall be undertaken will entail dealing with Home
Rule cities. State and Federal Government. We will
be represented by a decisive, responsible, elected
Assembly; LOCAL GOVERNMENT in total, not in
part, can only come from the freedom of a first
class borough.
I offer you the EXPERIENCE gained in 5 years of working with and directing the Matanuska-Susitna Petition
and Study groups; the COURAGE of my convictions that this area can and will develop into a most prominent
position within the State; and the RESPONSIBILITY to see that government is responsive to the people. Being
President of the Wasilla Advisory School Board for the last 4 years, I accept the responsibility vested in me to
assist during the transition from State-operation to local-administered schools. During the period 1959 through
1962, I served as Vice-President of the Board that was instrumental in eliminating a $37,000 deficit at the Val
ley Presbyterian Hospital. I have served the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce as a member of the
Board of Directors, and as Chairman of the Sanitation and Safety Committee, and am aware of the pressing
needs in the several communities. My livelihood has placed me in residence at all the rail-belt communities
within this area; affording me the opportunity of observing the problems, effects and visions of the most im
portant asset of this borough, the people.
Do Your Part in Forming Our Borough. VOTE in the Dee. 3rd Election
