Valley frontiersman., 1948-03-06
Palmer, Alaska, March 6, 1948

"I know of no part of Alaska, nor even of all of America, which has greater potentialities than has the Valley"
 Thus Governor Ernest Gruen- ing concluded his luncheon ad- dress at last Wednesdays Cham OCT of Commerce meeting in Pal mer. He earlier had asserted that ne felt the MatanuSka Valley, composed of a farming popula- Ilon, was least likely to suffer .he ills brought about by a transient population, since farm CTS are most lkely to put down roots upon which succeeding generations may build.
 The governor said Alaska's TWO great problems, winch he aeflned as the need for better cooperation from Federal gov crnmenL with more home rule and less absenteeIsm of all AormS," and the need for Iegls- lators who will make the best use of limited powers allowed the territorial government, were Iargely caused by the Imper- mauence or AIaSka'S popuIatAon. he also urged seA1-relance i for Alaskans. saying "1ou get

 Ioucnlng specifically on the local problems winch trouble the VaIley, ne sad organlZatlon ot a school district IS imperative ln the near future. heterrng agaIn to ms pea TOT democratic living, he stated, Your troubIe in the Coop is pla1n example of how important 1t is to make the democratic system work. In the extent that you are able to solve your own problems locally, so you demonstrate your ablIlty to help solve the larger problems of the division and the whole territory"
 T he burden of Governor Gruening's speech was his pow erful plea for statehood, for which he said Alaskans had been paying for 80 years, but from which they can receive no bene- fits until the territory has two senators in Congress working for AlaSka'S interests.
 In discussion of the costs of
 statehood. the most powerful
 argument brought by oppon-
 ents. the governor pointed to
 the losses sustained by Alaska
 in highways. air transporta-
 tion. and maritime transporta-
 tion. which have resulted be-
 cause of territorial status.
 It was estimated that at least O,000,000 in road construc- tion alone, under the Federal Highway Act, which does not include Alaska, have been lost to the territory.
 Speaking of the need for bet ter legislators, the governor said issues in the territorial legisla- ture never develop along party lines. "The division is between responsible people, who want something for Alaska, to make it an increasingly better place in which to live, and between those whose sole thought is to serve some private, some selfish, some vocfoI ipforocf

crease Of Z percent in chickens
raised in 19480

ing ratios Will continue rather I'M
favorable until the 1913 grain har-
vest, when they are likely to turn
favorable, if yields are good.
The egg price outlook for the
next six months appears strong
er than last year because of
smaller production. higher con-
sumner incomes and greater stor-
age demand. However. prices
probably will not hold consist
emily at or above 80 percent Of
parity: hence. some government
support probably will be neces-
sarY.
The government support level will
be a little higher than the actual
prices last year. In February-July,
1947, farm prices for eggs averaged
about 95 percent of parity. But the
parity index has increased 8 or 9
percent. Hence, 80 percent of parity
in 1948 will be slightly higher than
95 percent was last year.
Poultry prices also are likely to
be higher in the next six or eight
months than last year. Fowl sup
plies will be heavy because of close
culling and large storage stocks.
But, supplies of young chickens, in
Guiding those from specialized pro-
ducing districts, will be smaller than
in 1947, even though the price in
crease in the last two months is
stimulating some recovery in broiler
production. Competition from heavy
meats will be reduced and consumer
buying power will be higher.
Cut in Turkey Flocks
Present indications are that a
drastic cut has been made in tur-
key flocks, in spite of price i'm
provement late in 1947 which placed
Dec. Is farm prices at the highest
level on record. Growers plan to
reduce production by 18 percent, ac-
cording to reports to the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture. This would
mean the smallest crop since 1898.
Turkey industry people report that
the number of breeding birds car
ried over in some of the key states
is the smallest in many years.
With prices for eggs and poults
higher than last year and indica-
tons that feed costs early in the
season will continue extremely high,
early orders have been very light
Late season demand for poults,
which can be grown out largely on
1948 grain crops, probably will in
crease but output will be set by the
laying capacity of breeding flocks
If the total number raised is cut
back as much as growers intentions
indicate, extremely high and rela-
lively profitable prices are probable
next fall.
Long-Term Outlook
For the longer-term outlook
chicken producers need to be con.
cerned about (a) the fact that the
governments commitment to sup.
port prices at 80 percent of parity
under present legislation ends OF
Dec. 81, 1913, and (b) the fact thai
annual production of eggs, in spite
of the curtailment in the last two
years, is considerably above the
quantity domestic consumers will
take at good prices. Long-run pros
poets for exports are not good.

Now the workmen start at the top
of the building. The roof is first to

when a wrecker figures on Job,
says Bernard Segal, president Of the

"he has to take into consideration

if you have to haul away all the
debris. And the length OF time you
have In which to do the job Is
big profit-and-loss factor.
II you must rush the Job, that
means you may not be able to sal

Mr.. segal said the most interest

has been In the business IS years
was the recent wrecking Of the
Letter Mansion at 1900 New Hamp-

"1t was q glamorous place." he
said. what I liked about the job
was the way the people came in

after supplies. So when you do q
wrecking job during the cold
months, you have more difnculty
selling items you've salvaged.
First step in any wrecking job is
to "de-rat" the building. That's
health precaution. If building
wasn't freed of rats before opera
tions started, the rats would move
over to the adjoining properties.
Next on the wrecker's list of op-
erations comes application for a
District permit, building Of a canopy
over the sidewalk to protect the
public, and covering the job with
MISUNDERSTANDING public liability,
property damage and workmen's
compensation.
Then he prepares the Job for
wrecking"-that Is, he obtains the
needed tools, places planking over
the sidewalk to prevent damage,
assigns trucks to haul away debris
and material and obtains needed
labor.
Building Then Stripped.
First step in actual wrecking Is
to strip the building OF readily
salvageable materials. He takes out
the doors, windows, interior trim,
paneling, f1replaces. Often such
items are sold right on the JOB.

Repair Damage
At Pheasant Farm

Conservation Commissioner H.
A. Rider said this week that the
work of repairing the $4,000 re-
cent storm damage at the States
'Urbana Game Farm is now under
way and that pheasant egg pro-
duction and incubation has re-
turned to normal.
The 1900 pheasant eggs which
were thought at first to be a
complete loss due to a 9-hour in
terruption in electric power are
now beginning to hatch. DR.. E.
d. Martin, Chief of the Divisions
Game Management Section, had
hoped for a 25 per cent hatch in
spite of the g-chilling damage
but reports from Farm .Superin-
tendent Ed Nash early this week
show a 49 per cent hatch out of
the first 2800 eggs and a 81 per
cent hatch from the second 2800.
The storm which struck the 519-
acre farm early in May tore out
several miles of fencing, lifted en-
tire buildings from their founda-
tions and completely destroyed

OHIO EXPECTS RECORD CROWDS OF
VACATIONISTS THIS SUMMER

COLUMBUS-Ohio is ready to
welcome the greatest number of
vacationists to visit the Buckeye
State since the start of the war.
Officials anticipate no damaging
shortage of lodging spaces, food
or friendly service. Ohio citizens
are eager to start collecting their
pre-war income from tourists,
which in 1889 was reported to be
$366,O00,OOO.
After making a survey of all
resorts and recreational areas the
Ohio Development and Publicity
Commission found that Ohio has
more than 1,400 registered ho-
tells, approximately 450 large
auto courts and several thousand
ELECTROMAGNETIC eating places.
Much improvement has been
noted in the appearance of pub
lie parks where additional facili-
ties have been constructed to ac-
commodate picnickers and travel
ers. Every historic or scenic
spot in Ohio has a nearby area
where tables, shelter houses, rest
rooms, fireplaces and other facili-
ties are available at no cost.
Favorite vacationing places such
as Cedar Point, Kelleys Island,
Put-in-Bay, Port Clinton, Ver-
million, Indian Lake, Buckeye
Lake and dozens of others are
better equipped this season to
handle large crowds. Citizens have
formed their own OPA's to keep
prices within a reasonable level.
Vacationists will find prices
generally lower than last year,
and that hotels and resorts will
greet them with better trained
personnel.
State-owned cabins are still
scarce due to shortages of build
ing materials. A few more cabins
are nearing completion at Lake
Hope and, about 400 are in the
blueprint stage along the chain of
lakes in the Muskingum Con-
servancy District. The popularity
of the rustic cabins is so great
that it will take several years to
build enough to satisfy demands.
