u. N. Council Calls for Halt
In Palestine Fighting
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 17.-An i'm
mediate halt in the Palestine fight
ing was ordered by the United Ma
tions Security Council today, but
dispatches from the Middle East
indicated the Arab countries are in
tensifying their aid to forces in the
Holy Land rather than halting it.
Jewish representatives here also
made it clear they have little belief
the. councils cease-fire order will be
effective.
During the day French Delegate
Alexandra Parodi confirmed that q
move was under way to get Britain
to continue her Palestine mandate
beyond May Is. He said there was
little hope the special United Ma
tions assembly could do much about
the Holy Land before that date.
That is why, he said in a radio
talk, the Security Councils efforts
for truce were SO important. Then
he added that equally important are
suggestions to extend the time limit
of the British mandate
Warned on Need for Force.
This was the first public reference
to the move which had been re-
ported under way for some time
among the big powers.
These developments indicated the
Emergency Palestine session OF the
U. N. Assembly will be confronted
with a grave situation when 1t NETS
Monday to begin its search for a
solution to the Palestine crisis. The
meeting of the 81 nations began
yesterday.
One of the first major issues be-
fore the Assembly Monday will be
a warning from the f1ve-member
U. N. Palestine Partition Commis-
sion that military forces must be
sent to the Holy aLnd before May
Is to avoid complete chaos.
May Avoid Showdown.
An immediate showdown on this
question may be averted, however,
under a plan which was reported
to have been agreed upon this after
noon by number of leading dele
cations, including that of the United
States.
Under this plan, the Assembly
would dispense with the usual gen.
eral debate in penary meeting and
refer the Palestine problem to the
57-nation Political Committee i'm
mediately. The committee would be-
gin it's meeting Tuesday at Lake
Success.
The United States was reported
to have circulated privately a work.
ing paper outlining the American
plan for temporary U. N. trustee
ship over the Holy Land.
Rumors also were circulated that
the United States is considering a
proposal for small-poWer volunteer
force for Palestine, but spokesmen
for the American delegation insisted
they know nothing about this.

Jade Cutter Starts Work Ln Valley

WASILLA-Although he's not just sure how m any crosses, hearts and ring settings he can whack out of a 450-pound jade nugget, Herbert Boucher of Wa silla is pretty certain that it will keep him occupide in his newly established jade polishing and carving business for some time to come. MT. Boucher, who has set up shop in a warehouse be- hind Teeland's store, found the jade nugget in Wyoming.
 The gem-cutter plans to estab- fish stone-cutting and mount ing business which will supply retail outlets in Anchorage, Pal mer and Wasilla with souvenirs fashioned of jade, agate, petri- fled wood and other semi-pre- cious stones. He already has ar ranged to have J. Vic Brown, Anchorage jeweler, market his products there.
 Later it is MT. Boucher's hope

caused by the saw in the first stone-slicing operation.
 The final task of polishing is done by holding the face of the stone to the surface of a revolv- ing wheel padded with chamois skin - an operation somewhat similar to the buffing of milady's fingernails and achieving t h e same result.
 From original stone-slicing to the final emergence of, say a j a d e cross, Mr. Boucher esti- mates that there's a good two hours of work.
 MT. Boucher is no newcomer to the territory, having spent most of the last eight years here. He is but recently come to Wa silla however, having filed on a homestead there about a year ago. He has had extensive ex- perience in his work with jade before coming to Alaska.
Valley frontiersman., 1948-05-28

to do custom cutting of larger stones. He has one saw which can handle blocks of material of six to seven inches. He believes he will be the only person in this area to do custom cutting, and he will be one of the very few gem-cutters in the territory who work with the cutting and pol ishing of jade.
 The necessary equipment for the work is comparatively sim pie, with the beauty of the final product depending upon the pa tience and skill of the operator.
 The lump of jade first is sliced to the desired thickness by a small high-speed electric saw. The rest of the work is done by rubbing and grinding on an as- sortment of carborundum stones which fashion a stone to the de- sired shape, round square cor ners into oval ones and remove all the tiny mars and scratches

tion sub-district hearing, called the previous Friday.
 It was decided at the second meeting that Palmer and Wa silla will organize two separate districts. The boundaries of the Palmer district are to exclude the Little Susitna river.
 Farmers in the Wasilla area are signing a petition, now being circulated by Harold Dinkel, to establish a second sub-district. The Wasilla area is to include the area between Knik Arm and the Willow Creek watershed and from the Susitna River to a june tion with the Palmer boundar-

The entire wooded area along the Anchorage-Palmer highway, extending fir m the Plumley sawmill to the Knik bridge, on the left side of the road if trav- elling toward Anchorage, has been closed, it was announced this week by Paul Olson of the Alaska Fire Control Service.
 MT. Olson said the area was considered an extreme fire haz- ard and that no trespassing with in the area would be tolerated during the fire season. Picnick- ing, fishing, hunting or hiking are all barred, and only persons with business to conduct with sawmills or residents in the area may enter.
 Any violation of this regula- tion will be fully prosecuted, Mr. Olson warned. A penalty of not less than $25 nor more than $1OO may be imposed upon any person who trespasses within the closed area.

Old Clippings Trace Colony's First Days

History was made 13 years ago on May 9, when the first colonists, 298 men, women and children from Minnesota, arrived at the tent village of Palmer to establish a new home. And with in three short months history had begun to deal out its repeti- tive pattern of birth, death, mar riage and day-to-day living to the settlers in their new home, just as it had done in the Min nesota homes they left.
 Old newspaper clippings tell the story in graphic detail Of course, the story really began far back beyond that eventful May 9. For MT. and Mrs. Clifford Lennon of International Falls, Minn., the colony's first honey mooners, it began in April, 1885. MT. Lennon married his sweet heart of five years, a hometown schoolteacher, in order that they might become a part of the col onist venture.
 The Minnesotans set sail in the transport St. Mihiel from San Francisco on May 1, arriving ill Seward on May 8. They went by train to Anchorage, where they found most of the city at the station to greet their arrival. Shops were closed for a half day as friendly Anchorage-ites feted their new neighbors at 1 banquet and then pressed gifts of food upon t h m as they stepped aboard their train to continue their journey to Mata- nuska.
 Arriving at their destination, the colonists found tent homes ready for them and they set about at once the business of beginning their new life.
 Just a few days later the fam lilies from Minnesota were joined by another group of colonists from Michigan and Wisconsin. This latter party was more un- fortunate in their first impres, sions, for they crossed paths with their tent homes en route and arrived in the Valley on wet and rainy day to find no shelter ready.
 | However quarters were shared and press reports datelined Mat anuska, in those early weeks of May, reported happy, contented colonists are busy about their work"
 But colony happiness was as fleeting as happiness anywhere. By June 28 newspaper accounts were limiting at dissatisfaction, mismanagement and discontent. One news story reported on that date that six colony families al ready had requested they be re- turned to their home. A govern ment "troubleshooter" was re- ported on his way north to seek the roots of colonist dissatisfac- ton.
 The colonist who first report ed himself settled under his own cabin roof was Arther Retallic, a former Michigan farmer. Mir. Retallic moved into his Alaskan home just before July 4, he told an Anchorage newspaper report CT.
 On July 8, tragedy struck the settlement, when the year-old son of MT. and Mrs. George J (Continued on Back Page)

Anniversary Celebration Is All Set

Palmer's thirteenth annual ob- servance of Colony Day will really get under way with a bang. The first event on the two-day program, which begins tomorrow, is the first round of lihe trapshooting contest spon- sored by the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen. That event begins promptly at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 Following the trapshooting, the first game in the planned four-game softball tournament begins at 6:15, when the Sham rocks face the Jonesville miners. The softball series continues on Sunday, when an Alaska Rail- road squad meets the Valleys Butte team at 12:30 that after noon. At o'clock on Sunday the losers of the first two games play. The game to decide Col ony Day champions will pit the winners of the first two games immediately at the close of the first game
 Softball spectators may sit in the bleachers for an admission charge of 25 cents each, or they may drive to the diamond in their automobiles and pay a 25 cent parking charge for the privi- lege of watching the game from their cars.
 George Small and Matt Per kins will act as umpires in these l games.
 Outdoor activity ends Satur- day evening with the softball game, but indoor sports com mence immediately after with the opening of Bingo game in \ the school lunchroom at 8 O. clock. A two-hour session of sBingo will precede Saturdays dance. Enthusiasts will be given la second chance in an open-air session which will begin at 1:3O Sunday afternoon.
 Saturday evenings dance, to be held in the Palmer gymnas- .ium, is conducted u n d e the sponsorship of the Moose lodge. The Homemakers' clubs of the Valley will operate food con- scession in the school lunchroom between the hours of g and 11:3O sthat evening. They plan to serve frankfurters, coffee and dough. Hnuts.
