North Palmer Begins Incorporation Plans

of the district. Through co-opera. tion of the owners, Max Sherrod and Ed Christensen, streets in the two additions lie parallel, However, one area has been laid out to include alleys and the other does not.
 Since need for central plan is becoming more strongly urged daily, members of the North Palmer Improvement Club again began to consider in corporation of the district as their solution.
 No Action Yet
 However the matter has been tabled for the present, according to board member Harry Vim mer. When it was learned that the Chamber of Commerce in- tended to study types of incor- poration, and make recommend ations for action, the North Palm CT area shelved it's plans.
 We feel that it would be a much better thing to include the entire area, rather than to have small sections of Palmer organize in separate districts, 7" MT. Winner said. Therefore we are waiting with our plans to see what Palmer will do. But if some action is not taken in the near future, then North Palmer in- tends to go ahead with plans of its oWn."

First Palmer group to take definite steps toward some type of civic government is the North Palmer Improvement club. This organization, which has been functioning for a number of years, was first created by a dozen early residents of the North Palmer area.
 The club then was established to seek water tie-ups in North Palmer with Coop lines. Their request to draw water from the main pipeline was granted, with the proviso that each consumer must build his pipe to the main.
 Since that original request was granted, more than 50 families have taken residence in the North Palmer area. All of the 50 residents still are using water from the Coop main in accord ance with the original agreement.
 Begin To Plan
 This summer, when it became necessary to further extend pipe lines for North Palmer users, it also became evident that some type of definite plan must be formulated which would consider future growth of the area.
 At that time, the North Palmer Improvement Club was re-acti- vated. Operating under a loose ly-knit organization heretofore, the club did elect a governing board and began discussion of bylaws during the past summer.
 It was apparent, as needs of the district were outlined, that a community government ? w a S needed. It was decided that the Club should study methods of incorporation, with the ultimate goal of incorporation of the North Palmer area.

Glockenspiel's Here; Bands Ready To Play

The situation in the music de- partment of Palmer school is looking up. The glockenspiel- and a pre-war glockenspiel, at that, has arrived. Furthermore, a new piano is on the freight docks at Anchorage, and should be unloaded in Palmer any day.
 The addition of the glocken- spiel, believed to be the best in Alaska and also possibly the first, very nearly brings to balance the ratio between band students and band instruments. Now that everyone has an instrument of his own, rather than a quarter interest in one, the band is con- centrating on practice, accord ing to Mrs. J. K. Dunlap, music instructor.
 But you don't know what a glockenspiel is? We'll, it's the dressy cousin in the xylophone family. Sort of a vertical xylo- phone with bell note, that's al- ways we'll bedizened with gilt and fancy tassels. It's the instru- ment that goes out in front be- hind a prancing majorette, and adds the final fillip to any band performance.

HOUSE ENDORSES
MILITARY MERGER
Provision Added To Block
Creation OF 'Ameri-
can Gestapo'

WASHINGTON, July 49, W.R -
The House late today passed ar
Army-Navy %unification bill after
adding a provision designed to
block creation of an "American
gestapo.'' Passage was by voice
vote.
The measure - which would
merge the armed forces in a
single department of defense-now
goes to conference with the Sen
ate to adjust differences between
the house bill and similar legisla-
ton passed by the Senate.
The Senate version would call
the single overall military agency
the department of national secur-
ity. Both bills would make the
army, navy and air forces CO.
equal. Each would have a secre-
tary subordinate to the chief OF
the overall department.
The House passed the measure
recommended by its executive eX-
penditures committee with only
one major change.
The House met in one of Its
rare Saturday sessions to consider
the measure, which was urgently
recommended by President Tru-
man and endorsed by both the
army and navy.
Argument over a possible mill
tary dictatorship featured debate
as the bill moved toward final
passage.
