Johnson.
In his letter of protest Henry
Thomas said;
II wish to call your attention to
a new feature which has been
added to the Northwest Golden
Gloves. The innovation is unneces-
sary and inconsistent with the
spirit and purpose of amateur box
ing. / am referring to the new
practice of announcing the nation
atty of the participants.
THE nationality Of a fighter
has no bearing on the outcome
of the contest and therefore can
not be regarded as relevant in
formation. To announce a fight
er's nationality emphasizes ra-
cial differences. This emphasis
as you know did not create har-
mOny in Germany. Some fans
take advantage of these sug-
gested differences and make I'M
complimentary remarks about
some of the fighters.
81 do not question the motive
of those who thought it was a good
idea to state the nationality of the
fighters. Nevertheless l sincerely
ask that the practice be discon-
tinued in the interest of unity and
fair play"

School District,
 City Government Plans Are Weighed

The first report of incorpora- tion studies undertaken by the Valley Chamber of Commerce was presented at Wednesdays luncheon meeting when Rev. Victor Alfsen of the study com mittee reported on the legal pro- cedure for incorporation as a municipality.
 Two types of incorporation are possible for municipalities in Alaska. Cities of the first class type must have popu]a- ton of 400 within the incorpor- ated area. Although the census planned by the committee is not yet complete, Reverend Altsen said committee members were sure Palmer was not large enough to meet this qualifica- tion.
 Cities of the second class may be incorporated in an area limit ed to $40 acres, with a popula- tion requirement of 50 or more permanent residents.
 In either case. petitions are circulated which request in- corporation of a given area. If first-class municipality is planned. inc petition must have 100 signatures of bona fide residents who have sub stantial property interests
 within the area. .... For a city ofa the second
 class. Is signatures are re- quired. However Reverend
 Alfsen said even that small
 number looks like an inpos-
 sible job to get here right
 now."
 Once petitions are signed and presented, a public hearing is scheduled by the district court to determine if the proposed incorporation is to the best in terests of residents of district. If hearing results are favorable, then an election is scheduled to
