A LONG GAMBLE
President Kennedy, with the support of his chief
*dv<sors and fiscal officers, holds that we, at one and
the same time., can increase spending and reduce overall
*** collections by a total of about $I0 billion, and, at
’'his same time, prevent more inflation.
This view must be given due respect and consider
ation. But so must the views of those who think it utterly
mistaken.
Long-time deficit spending, historically speaking,
oas had two major results. One is a desperate turn to
orinfing-press money—when, as in Germany following
the First World War, it took a wheelbarrow full of cur
rency to buy a loaf of bread. The other is to impose price
and wage controls which are followed, as surely as the
sun follows the moon, by absolute government control
of the entire economic system. And that means control
of everything of any consequence that a person, or a
business, or a group does and is allowed to do.
The President asks for a long gamble in his fiscal
proposals. It is now up to Congress to decide just how
tar that gamble will be allowed to go.

By Dan Halligan
DEAR DAN: Do you think a person can miss part of his
life and if so. will that have any effect on him later on in
life? I mean. I’m 15 and although I have girl friends and as
sociate with them during class, I spend much of my time be
tween classes and outside of school with a boy older than I
am. Do you think I'm missing out on the fun of Retting to know
other girls? They say they've lost respect for me just because
I hold hands with him and ride around in his car after school.
Is this okay or do you think I should wait a few years before
associating with one boy?—Puzzled
DEAR PUZZLED: What you're asking me is
whether or not I think you should be going steady at
15? The answer is no. Your girl friends should mean
more to you at your age than just one boy. One of
these days, much sooner than you think, either you or
the boy will lose interest, and when you try to get back
in the crowd's good graces, you may find the door is
closed and locked.
* * * *
DEAR DAN: Is it all right for a girl of 16 to go to a drive
! in movie on a week end if she can be home by midnight?
j —Wondering.
DEAR WONDERING: Generally it’s all right but
here, more than in any other social activity, you should
know the boy you re dating. As the season progresses,
drive-ins will be starting later and later and if you can
go to the drive-in during July and August and still get
home by midnight, more power to you.
* * * <t
DEAR DAN: A boy asked me to go to our prom and I told
him I’d think it over and let him know in a few days. Later
that same day another boy asked me and I accepted. The reason
I told the first boy I d think it over was because I was hoping
the second boy would ask me. I told the first boy the very next
day I already had a date for the prom and now he’s mad at
me and won t speak Honestly. I can’t understand because I
don’t think I was unfair to him. Was I?—Jackie.
DEAR JACKIE: You remind me of Vice President
Lyndon Johnson. He ran for the office he now holds
while also running for senior senator from Texas. In
other words, good old Lyndon was watching out for good
old Lyndon. You were going to keep the first boy in
"reserve" and in that sense, you weren't fair to him.
By accepting the prom date with the other boy, you
told Boy No. 1 to get lost.
* * Jf* *
DEAR DAN: Is there something wrong with me? I be
lieve in a few goodnight kisses at the front door (never park
ing) and I date twice a week, usually with a different boy.
V» hat I m getting at is this: I m nearly 16 and when I’m kissing
a boy and he's kissing me. I believe Ira in love with him.
^ ell. when you feel this way about two dozen boys over a
period of three or four months, it makes a girl start wonder
ing. Is this normal?—Diane C.
DEAR DIANE; I wouldn't say your "love 'em all"
attitude is normal but it is something you'll outgrow_
I hope. Girls can get sentimental over two or three
boys at a time but when you have to use an adding
machine, you should cut your dating by two-thirds for
a few months and also settle for one goodnight kiss.
* * « *
DEAR DAN: My steady boy friend still keeps his ex-girl
friend s picture on the sun visor in his car. He says she doesn’t
mean anything to him anymore but why doesn't he take down
the picture?—Puzzled.
DEAR PUZZLED: Maybe he keeps it up there be
cause he knows it bugs you. I really don't know. If
you re both in the same school, why not slip out to
the car sometime between classes and "remove" it?

I. M. Sandvik, one of the 20
captains in the current hospital
bond drive, is the Valley’s top
salesman, it was revealed at
last Friday night’s meeting of
captains in the basement of the
Lutheran church. Mr. Sandvik
already has sold a total of 24
bonds, and he’s not yet through
with his territory, he reports.
His return of $2,400 topped all
proceeds reported at the Friday
meeting, but there are still
several captains who are un
reported.

A plunge into the icy wat
ers of the Matanuska River
from the bridge railing, pre
cipitated by a lover's quarrel,
ended in no more than chilly
ducking for an unidentified
Anchorage man and woman
last Sunday evening. The :
pair were returning to Anch- i
orage, when the woman sud
denly requested that her
companion stop the car. He
complied and she leaped to
the railing of the bridge, then
plunged into the open water ’
below.
A battle of the by-laws ap- '
peared looming before oppos
ing factions in the membership
of the Matanuska Valley Farm
er's Co-operating Association
today. Latest developments in
the membership quarrel reveal
the intention of one group to
oust six members of the pres
ent board of directors, while
members of the opposing fac
tion hope to counter that move
by declaring a planned recall
meeting illegal and therefor un
official.

The fire siren recently or
dered by the Valley Volun
teer Fire Association has
been received in Palmer, and
is expected to be ready for
use within the next few days,
it was announced at last
Wednesday's fire drill.
It is possible a rural agricul
tural teacher will be added to
the teaching staff of Palmer
school next year, it was an
nounced by Carl Snelling, su
perintendent of schools.
Miss Louise Kellogg of Pasa
dena, Calif , is in the Valley
area this week to complete ne
gotiations for the purchase of a
local farm.
Plans leading toward added
rail service for passengers into
Palmer and toward collecting
information and figures need
ed by the Alaska Native Ser
vice were the principal topics
of discussion at last Monday's
meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Valley Chamber of
Commerce. A suggestion made
to circulate a petition request
ing increased railcar ser
vice was tabled, while plans of
The Alaska Railroad in regard
to such service were investigat
ed.
The forty-ninth annual meet
ing of the Yukon Presbytery
will convene in Palmer next
Thursday, when Moderator B
J. Bingle of College calls dele
gates to order at 9 o'clock that
morning in the United Protes
tant church. Ministers and lay
delegates, numbering approxi
mately 25 in all, are expected
to arrive from Cordova, Fair
banks, College and Anchorage

Thought about climbing
any trees lately? The tree
climbers seem to belong to
a very young segment of
the population.
Why do you suppose
most of us have outgrown
that compelling urge to
climb a tree? It used to
make every trunk a chal
lenge, every limb a pre
carious perch.
Well, we’ve discovered
other challenges. And
we’ve had our fill of pre
carious perches. Eventu
ally a man turns his zest
for triumph to more con
structive purposes.
But, have you observed
that many people seem to
climb above the tiresome
every-day level of life?
And, strangely, they ap
pear more secure chal
lenging the roof of exist
ence than those who cling
to its floor.
, The youthful compul
sion which once made us
tree climbers reaches ma
I turity on a spiritual plane.
Our God-given zest for
triumph finds fulfilment
in the quest of religious
Faith . .. the challenge of
< Christian living! Start
| climbing next Sunday ...
in church!

Bought With A Price
Did you know that the only
cure for sin has been fully
paid for with the precious
blood of Jesus Christ? Christ
Himself said, “No one eometh
to the Father but by Me." He
also said “The Father and I
are one.” Christ was despised
and rejected by men. But don't
fool yourself. There is no for
giveness and no eternal secur
ity without the cross. Christ
atoned for the sins of the en
tire world by His sacrifice on
the cross. The risen, victorious
Christ is the One who is going
to decide things on Judgment
Day.
They will be housed in the
' homes of Valley residents.

A petition calling for the
retention of Carl Snelling as
superintendent of the Palmer
school for another year was
being circulated through the
Valley last week. Mr. Snel
ling, questioned as to wheth.
er he would reconsider the
resignation he submitted sev
eral weeks ago, said it was
possible he would change his
‘ decision.
