Two Kenai Men Get GOP
Honors in District Meet
In the Southcentral District
Republican convention held in
Anchorage this past weekend,
one Kenai man was elected dele
gate to the state GOP conven
tion scheduled for Fairbanks on
Oct. 6-8 and another was named
committeeman to represent the
12th Senatorial district.

tions committee during the dis
trict meeting. Porter also sat in
on some of the sessions.
Among the various resolutions,
some of those especially per
tinent to residents of the Kenai
Peninsula are these:
That the Soklotna-Homer por
tion of the Sterling Highway be
paved immediately; “Let’s get it
done, action and not words.”
That extension of the North
Road at Kenai be constructed at
once “without further red tape
and delay.”
That engineering and econom
ic studies proceed immediately
regarding the feasibility of con
structing the proposed Turna
gain Arm Causeway.
Theme of the Anchorage meet
was “Let’s Have a Republican
Government in 1962.” Principal
speakers were State Senators
Howard Pollock and Brad Phil
lips. Approximately 250 district
delegates attended.
The Kenai Peninsula was not
well represented at the district
meeting, Porter said. Delegates
from Homer were unable to go
by plane as the airport there was
fogged in by adverse weather
conditions and travel by car un
der present road conditions from
Homer was too discouraging to
consider.
One venturesome delegate from
the southern part of the Penin
sula, Clem Tillion, did drive up
the highway, Porter said, to rep
resent Halibut Cove and GOPs
from Homer area. Seward and
the community of Bartlett also
sent delegates. Soldotna wras not
represented.

ents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Spring

children back when they come to
Alaska early in June for a sum
mer vacation trip.
