of funds collected for the new
ambulance nearing $6,000, Wil
liam Hermann, chairman, re
ported this week.
Top among this week’s reci
pients is $150, representing the
drive’s share of the ACCA food
concession operated during the
sports car races on Colony
Days. Hermann expressed ap
preciation to the ACCA and to
the volunteer workers who
contributed their time.
Special recognition was giv
en to the generous contribution
to the fund from Dr. Lee Mc
Kinley, Butte area dentist.
Other contributions were re
ceived from Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Clark of Lazy Moun
tain, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Es
tep, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Reid,
and Dr. and Mrs. Keith McCav
it. An anonymous group don
ated $6.69.
The fire department ambul
ance answered four calls dur
ing the last week, several of
which were serious, Hermann
said.
Bad Check Passer
Tried Here Today
Being tried today in deputy
district magistrate’s court in
Palmer is Russell G. Doddridge,
on a charge of issuing some 15
checks without funds. The
worthless checks were drawn
on the First National Bank of
Anchorage.
The checks were issued be
tween May 25 and May 30,
shortly after Doddridge came
here from Anchorage as an em
ployee of the Frontier Cafe.
Arrested by city police, Dod- .
idge has been held in the Pal- j
mer jail with bail set at $500. |
He is the first to be tried under
the provisions of the city’s re
cently approved bad check or
dinance.
Give a man a little authority ;
and he will soon show the |
strength of his character.

August races.
Rudy Kreybig, who accom
panied Woodward, said that
plans for a race track at the
Sports and Recreation Center
site south of Palmer, had been
presented to the Palmer Busi
nessmen’s Association and that
this is the last time the races
would be held on the Palmer
streets.
Food Processing Plant
Betty Mears, representing the
Area Redevelopment Commit
tee, asked that council repre
sentatives appear at the Roads
subcommittee meeting on Wed
nesday. She also stated that
Gerald Earp and Jim Booky
are considering two locations
in the Palmer area for their
food processing plant, and that
they would like assurance that
water and sewer facilities will
be made available. The council
assured Mrs. Mears that the
council will cooperate with
Earp and Booky in every way
possible.
City Manager's Report
City Manager Winston Gil
christ emphasized the impor
tance of staying within the
budget for the balance of the
fiscal year, pointing out that
there is little leeway for such
requests as that of the Sports
Car Association that the Coun
cil assume the cost of the pav
ing project.
He said that the water de
partment is not self-supporting,
and that funds now going into
the water department savings
account should be allocated to
water department expense,
rather than to pay these ex
penses out of the general fund.
Fire Prevention Code
The Fire Prevention Code
was adopted after its final
reading by a unanimous vote
of the council.
Colony Street Parking
Plans to widen Colony street
to allow for diagonal parking
on the east side will soon be
put into effect, city manager
Gilchrist said. After he out
lined the cost of the project, a
Houston-Willow News
By Kelly Palmquisl
Houston - Willow residents |
met in Willow on June 5 with
Jim Bookv. one of the promot
ers of the proposed canning fac
tory. Booky was favorably im
presed by the turnout and the
amount of interest shown. He
said this will have considerable
influence on where the cannery
will be located.
Another way to help in get
ting the cannery located here
is for anyone interested in
growing vegetables for the can
nery to write to Booky or to
Gerald Earp at P. O. Box 2275,
Anchorage, giving your loca
tion in the area and how many
acres you may have available
for growing vegetables. They
will also be glad to answer
questions.
Although the operation will
be automated as much as pos
sible to cut down the cost of
the finished product, the fac
tory would employ a number of
workers, thus furnishing some
employment to the community
directly. However, the main
employment created by the
cannery would come about in
directly, through the growing
and harvesting of vegetables.
Booky stated that the grow
ers would have a contract with
the factory before planting and
that seed and fertilizer would
be furnished by the company
to the growers, to be paid for
out of the crop.
The harvesting would be
done mostly by machinery,
provided by the cannery. For
instance, peas will be mowed
and put through a machine that
will remove the peas and make
ensilage of the vines.
The promoters hope to be in
operation on a limited scale in
1964 and plan to go to full scale
operation in 1965, canning and
freezing all the varieties of
vegetables that can be grown
in Alaska.
There will also be a slaught
er house in connection with the
cannery to utilize what loca
meat is available, to be expand,
ed into a full-scale packmi
house if and when a beef in
dustry is developed.
Booky said the has been in
formed that oats and barley
which grow very well in Alas
ka, make a very satisfactory
feed for finishing beef cattli
for the market. In fact, th
Canadians are turning ou
choice quality beef on thes
grains. _
At Booky’s request, a com
mittee was set up to work wit
his company in this area. Mem
bers are Mrs. Tisher of Mor
tana. Bill Friday of Willow,
Jack Carl and Ira Bryant.
Bill Jones returned Friday
from California to his home
stead just above Houston.
