 Until we received your let ter, we had not heard this year the story that 100000 applica- tions were on file at Edmonton from people wanting to drive over the Alaska Highway. We have heard a somewhat smaller, but still shockingly large, figure mentioned in each previous year and every time, on checking, we have found the information to be incorrect.
 Tt could be that there are A. 900 reservations on file with the airlineS. This is not an unusually large figure in view of the fact that nearly 10000 cannery work CTS, and probably an equal num-

Loses Thumb In Accident

Robbie Meters, 17-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Carl Meters of Palmer, suffered the loss of a thumb and injury to the tendons of his arm in an accident last Sunday afternoon.
 The youth was engaged in re- pairing the axle of the Meters GMC truck when the accident occurred. With the motor of the vehicle running, Robbie caught this thumb in the power take-off. Before Bill Chambers, who was working with him, could turn off the ignition, Bobbie's thumb had been badly mangled, and the tendons of his arm had been torn
 The boy was rushed immedi- ately to the Valley hospital for medical attention. Dr. R. E. Gar rett, local physician, was in An chorage at the time of the acci- dent, but he returned to the Val ley in an hour, when notified of the emergency.
 Hospital attendants said the boys condition was good on Monday, although he suffered considerable pain in his arm. He expected to remain in the hos pital for several days.
 Robbie is employed by his father, who operates the C. H. Meier Transfer Co.

Valley Diaries All Rated Grade A For First Time

The 33 Valley dairy barns, which were recently inspected by Lloyd C. Morley, district sani- tartan for the Territorial Depart. ment of Health, all were Grade A plant-producers for the first time in the history of the Val ley,' the sanitarian reported.
 MT. Morley explained the term plant producers referred to dairymen who retail milk to a central plant for distribution.
 This is indeed milestone in the history of Valley milk production" he continued. He pointed out that in the past
 nine years, from the time first
 milk inspections were made in
 1889, until the present year. dairy farms have increased from three to 33. as we'll as reaching 100 percent produc- lion on inc Grade A basis.
 Standards in grading cover all phases of milk production from herd testing, barn lighting, ven- tilation and construction, milk room conditions for cooling and handling, provisions for steriliz- ing utensils used in milk hand ling, bottling and capping and health condition of personnel working with the milk.
 Of the original three dairymen engaged in the production of milk in 1889, only one, Rex Mon-

Wasilla Has School Plans Of Its Own

WASILLA - Local residents, who met recently to consider community action in regard to t h e much discussed Palmer school district incorporation, which would include Wasilla, de- cided instead to conduct investi- gation into the possibility of in- corporation of Wasilla itself as a school district.
 Wasilla readily qualities for incorporation, residents learned, with respect to requirements for both population and school en- rollment. They were told that a district of 15O square miles can be established, provided a peti- tion signed by 30 residents is presented to the judge of the district court.
 Upon receipt of the petition, the judge may order a public hearing on the question and then will designate an election to de- termine the feeling of voters within the required district. If election results are favorable, the area is declared a school district, and a five-man school board, elected at the time the school district is voted upon, inn mediately goes into action.
 The school board has exclu- sive control of school matters in the district, subject to territor- ial law and rules and regulations set up by the Commissioner of Education. The new district board elects it's president, trea- surer and clerk and appoints an assessor who also acts as tax col lector.
 According to the enrolment of the Wasilla school, residents of the new district would foot only 15 per cent of the cost of main taining the school, which, based upon current annual expenses, would amount to less than S4,OOO.
 Tax figures on property with in the proposed area of the Wa silla district have been develop ed. If the assessed valuation of real and personal property with in the boundaries of the propos- ed district amounts to only a quarter of a million dollars, tax rate of 1.6 per cent would be required to raise S4,OOO. A third of million dollar valuation re- duces the rate to 1.2 per cent or rate of l 1/5 cents on the dol lar.
 It was stated that it is possible the assessed valuation will be higher, resulting in a correspond ing decrease in tax rates. How ever until property surveys can be made, only rough estimates of the prospective tax rate can be established.
