Rural Areas Development pro
Sam is, according to Dr. Arthur
Buswell, dean of the division
of statewide services and director
of the cooperative extension

I “Uncle Sam is not doing any
thing for you or telling you what
t$> do. He is offering to help you
i| you want to do something for
jpurself,” Buswell said.
I There are several government
(Jpvelopment programs. Some are
federal, some are state, some are
liore local such as a valley or
community basis. Some are pri

Kenai Car Dealer
Changes Location,
Name of Business
Morry Porter, franchised
Willys-Jeep dealer who also han
dles Chevrolets and GMC trucks,
has moved to a new location on
the Kenai Spur Road at Beaver
Creek, half way between Kenai
and Soldotna, and has changed
the name of his business. For
merly operating under the name,
Kenai Garage and Auto Sales,
Porter's new and used car busi
ness will now be known as Penin
sula Motors.
Porter, resident of Kenai since
1952 and in the car business for
the past seven years, built and
owned the first telephone serv
ice in the Kenai-Soldotna area,
later selling it to Trans-Alaska
Telephone Co. His new' and used
car business was in the same lo
cation in Kenai the past twro
years. A new firm, Watkins and
Lexa, currently is handling Pen
oco products at the old location.
The office of Peninsula Motors,
Porter’s newly named business,
is in a house trailer at the Bea
ver Creek location at present.
Porter plans to erect a new
building in the near future which
will feature a large showroom
in front and a shop in the rear.
