Chamber Hears Account of Local Man’s
Experiences on 100-Day World Tour
MemDers ana guests ot the
Matanuska Valley Chamber of
Commerce enjoyed a vicarious
tour of Asian and European
countries at yesterday's lunch
eon meeting when Jan Koslos
ky described his recent trip
around the world.
Discussing experiences as
varied as a plane trip with a
group of red-tinged Afro-Asian
diplomats, a game hunt in
southern Sudan, and tours of
European art galleries, the lo
cal businessman conveyed
very graphic pictures to his
audience of "the route followed
on the 100-day trip.
He noted the tremendous ,
enterprise of the Japanese peo
ple, saying that everywhere he <
went he saw teams of Japan- i
ese, soliciting markets for their ;
! industrial output. <
He described the agricultural
effort of the relatively new na- I
tion of Israel, which puts to use 1
every available plot of farm t
land and which irrigates the i
desert soil from the Jordan <
River. The Israelite people are 1
building up a large export in- | c
□ustry, he said, much of which
is agricultural products.
“It s like sitting on a powder j
keg, ’ he said, referring to the I
tense situation between Israel
and the Arabic nation of Jor
dan, in which the distrust of ;
the two nations for each other
is heightened by the growth of
Nasser’s United Arab Repub
lic.
The population of Israel is
aow six and a half million,
with eight to ten thousand new
-efugees arriving every month,
le said. Yet all of these people
ire put to work in Israel’s
looming new industries, with
10 unemployment problem.
He noted a common attitude
>f Middle East and African na
ions—“Although they want
ind need our dollars, they re
ent us,” he stated.
Other highlights mentioned
>y Koslosky were the art gal
eries of Rome and Florence, a
rip to Zurich W’here the lake ■
vas frozen over and residents (
ailed it the coldest winter in a
lundred years, and the sights 1
f London. i

inniai expenses or oorougn |
| organization have to come out
I of the pockets of the planners,
Cease stated. The borough has
three years in which to pay the
expenses of incorporation.
Borough petitions must be
signed by 25 per cent of the
number who voted in the 1962
elections within the incorpor
ated city, and 25 per cent of the
residents of the rural areas
!§ (also 1962 voters).
Education, one of the three
main borough functions, would
be administrated by a five-man
board of directors. The super
intendent of schools would be
appointed by the school board.
Administration and the hiring
of personnel would be a school
.board responsibility.
If residents go the local op
tion petition way, the borough
seat must be named in the pe
tition. If they wait for House
Bill 90. the borough seat would
be chosen by the borough as
sembly.
If multiple petitions are turn
ed in. the one best meeting the
standards for incorporation
might be chosen, or all might
be rejected. The borough must
be able to support a local gov
ernment unit.
Cease was asked it the bond
ed indebtedness of the Palmer
Independent school district
would be paid off borough
wide. and stated that this
would be decided by the bor
ough assembly. Assets of the
iistrict would become borough
assets, however.
In a discussion of advan
tages and disadvantages of ty
ing in with the Captain Cook
aorough (District 8), it was
aointed out that the city of
Anchorage would have five as
semblymen, the surrounding
-ural area six, making a total
af 11, and the District 7 area
would have one from Palmer,
two from the rural area.
Cease said Anchorage reluc
tance for such a merger would
ae economic (tax base would
oe spread over a wide area),
and District 7 reluctance would i
be political (very little voting (
power).
He said that if a majority of 1
residents desired a merger with
the Anchorage borough, the
thing to do would be to prove
that District 7 is a part of the
wider Anchorage area — to
come up with the facts and fig
ures to present at boundaries
commission hearings.
Council Proposes Second-Glass -
(Conlinued from page 1)
In defending the boundaries
of the Matanuska-Susitna peti
tion, he said the committee had
tried to come up with a comp
romise to satisfy the residents
of the area. He likened a large
borough to a pond with a stone
tossed into the middle—the rip
ples are nearly dissipated by
the time they reach the outer
edges.
Mason LaZelie asked how it
could aid the area to exclude
resources such as the gas field
across Cook Inlet, the forest
reserves to the north, the agri
cultural area west of the Susit
na, and the silver lode to the
north.
