TRUMAN PREDICTS PEACE

60 'e.eE President Truman, described "in q
.,. mood of quiet OPTIMISM predicts that
peace win be assured in two years The
President seems to feel that the world is
at a middle point in its course of pros
Il" perity and serenity and that the danger
ia of conflict has been oyerdone, to large
extent, by the active policy of this coun-
:" ny which is based on resisting totalita-
rianism everywhere.
The President thinks that the world is
travelling rough road. beset with the
obstacles placed In It's path by Russian
intransigence, until this country began
TO pour money and material assistance
into Greece to assist that country in re-
ssting foreign revolutionaries within her
borders and gave aid to Turkey TO stiffen
her resistance to the "cold war" being
waRed against her by the Russians.
n-' In two years. the European Recovery
program will nave completed three of
it, four years and the President thinks
that Europes economy will be on its
feet. When this occurs, he believes that
3sO.000.O00 Europeans will be able TO
face their future with real assurance
that there is no imminent conflict be-
tween Russian Communism and the West
ern world
Naturally, everybody hopes that the
optimistic view of the President is cor
rect Nevertheless, one can deny the
ss.serious situation that exists at present
or the possibility that the Russians NAV
attempt some aggressive move before the
4Iecoyery program can rehabilitate Eu-
rope.

NO SERIOUS RECESSION

The Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
ics,- which has a good batting average on
Predictions, says that there will be further
declines in industrial production, prices
and consumer incomes but no serious re-
cession Is In sight.
The backlog demands that carried
over from the war years" have practi-
cally disappeared and the tremendous
demand" for many consumer goods is
slnekening. However. no sharp drop in
general economic activity seems TO be
in the picture
., The Bureau expresses the opinion that
Federal, State and local governments
will spend more money than last year. II
notes. however, that savings by con-
snmers are increasing although consumer
Incomes will be big enough to support
: larger spending than in any year before
1913.
=. Referring 60 the outlook for farm
products, the Bureau says a decline In
business activity will mean a weaker de-
Inand. Larger farm production would
cause some further price declines but "a
- sharp. overall decline in farm prices is not
expected"

AS the Wall Street Journal

Congressional and Treasury tax experts
think the chances of some tax increase
legislation in 1949 are good enough to
justify painstaking spade-work on new
levies." Whether or not Congress will
favor tax boosts won't be known until
May, when the annual budget requirement
is passed and the lawmakers have better
idea of future income and outgo.

Third AnnUuI Chest Drive
 Sfarts To-day

The third annual Community Chest drive in the Matanuska Val ley opens today, Miss Louise Kel- log, Chest chairman, announced. The drive will close on Nov. IS.
 Agencies participating in this years drive number six. They in- clude: Valley Health Council, Pal mer Public Library, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Alaska Crippled Chil- dren's Association and the local disaster fund.
 Each participating agency has been asked to submit a complete budget of all expenses, as we'll as report of income received from other sources than the Community Chest. These financial statements were studied at meeting Wednes- day evening too late for publica- tion this week) and the 1949 drive goal was fixed.
 All members benefitting under the Community Chest drive agree to hold no other fund-raising drive Miss Kellogg reminded This means that if the Chest falls short of it's financial goal, member organiza- tions may be forced to curtail their activities.
 Miss Kellog said that some change in the local organization of Community Chest is contemplated next year, with reference to the local disaster fund. Properly, this is not function of the Chest" she explained.

 He emphasized that it is most important that Valley children be given this chest x-ray annually. If each of the 4,000 families in the Valley were to contribute to the cost of the examination, the cost to each would be very small, he physician said.
 Children from Wasilla, Independ- ence and other nearby mines all were examined at Palmer.
 It was explained that the X-rays should be required follow-up to the regular school physical exami- nations, because pulmonary tu- berculosis, particularly in it's early stages in children, cannot be de- tected in routine physical check ups. Positive cases of pulmonary tuberculosis can be picked up only by x-rays," Dr. Bailey stated
Valley frontiersman., 1949-10-20

At the close of school on Tues day, TAO Valley students had re- ceived a chest x-ray, it was an- nounced by Dr. c. c. Bailey, Val ley physician. The x-ray examina- tions, given as a part of the school program, were made possible through the joint cooperation of the Territorial Department of Pub lie Health, represented locally by Miss Marjorie Myren, and Drs. Vernon Gates, R. E. Garrett, Carl Pelka, and Bailey.
 The Department of Public Health supplied the x-ray equipment, ma terials and technician Lee Kerr who conducted the examinations. The three local doctors helped fi- nance the cost of the program by turning back the fees received for conducting the school physical ex- aminations, recently concluded.
 Since cost of the physicals to the school was kept at a minimum, funds were barel sufficient to cov- CT major x-ray costs, Dr. Bailey said. -~. ....--.

Tox Problem Still In Air

The lands, ifs and maybes" of territorial law, with respect to the taxation problem of the school dist rict, precluded any clear-cut an- nouncement of when and how much to pay on district taxes, at last Tuesdays P-TA meeting. The meeting had been planned as one in which school board members could explain the details of filing a tax return for the Palmer school District.
 However, until a legal opinion is received on district plans for tax collection, there can bc no such an- nouncement, meeting attendants were told. At the present time, un- til the board enacts a resolution embodying several points of the tax law, there actually are no ex- isting tax regulations within the district. according to Neil Miller, assessor.
 However that resolution is ex- pected to be passed tonight, at a special meeting of the board at Palmer School. After that action is taken, district tax forms will be
