Rivers Coming Closer
 To Little Railroad Bridge

Dat ole debbil river, the Mata- nuska, is repeating history. That's why Ollie Recknor of the Alaska Railroad, and his dozer gang, set up housekeeping on Palmer's back railroad tracks last weekend.
 The Railroads been fighting a losing battle with the river ever since 1946 when the Matanuska decided 1t would be more inter- esting to come this way than to go that way. That's when the river overfloWed Rabbit Creek and washed out small bridge, located about half way between Palmer and Matanuska on the branch line.
 Jack Hanson and his bridge building gang belittled the dam age and set out to show the Mata- nuska that it could be tanned. They built a 4,300-foot dike, steel faced, along the area and they

 But this year the tiger strain is showing again. The Matanuska has slipped along the full 4,3OO feet of the dike an dhas sneaked in behind it to worry at the Rail- roads frail and unprotected little bridge again.
 So the Recknor men are in the rlver-taming business for the Railroad now. They'll cut the Matanuska's own cottonwood trees from her south bank, and use them as the base for a tree, rock and sand extension to the dike, and they'll lock the pussy footing river back in again be- hind another 1,500 feet of dam.
 They'll be in Palmer about three weeks.

EvENT TO INCLUDE P0NY EXPRESS RAGE Tn0I !HASHLA

Colony Day, to include a full 24 hours of fun this year, will be- gin on the evening of May 27 and last through the following day, Al Hagen, program chairman, an nounced this week. A long list of events is already scheduled for the two day celebration, and others will be added as plans be- come organized, he said.
 Principal attraction of the weekend Of fun is a planned pony express race from Wasilla to Palmer between horse-drawn stagecoaches and an early loco motive of the Alaska Railroad. The race will begin at Wasilla, with the horse drawn convey ances travelling the highway and the locomotive taking the rail route to Palmer.
 Rules of the race will require that the locomotive, required to draw one car, must follow all present-day regulations for train traffic on the main line. Horses will be changed at three-mile in tervals along the highway route. The race will end at the Palmer depot. Russell Felzien is in charge Of arrangements for this event.
 Also of particular interest this year, is planned hazard race be- tween Palmer business men and employees of government offices headquartered here. Details of this event, being planned by Joe Hudock, are not yet complete. The race course probably will begin on the highway, at point opposite the Railroad depot, continue to the North Palmer store and re- turn to the depot finish line by way of Valley Street.
 A calico and jeans dance, to be directed by Art Stacey, will launch Colony Day on the eve nlng- Of the tWenty-seVenth. The dance will be held in the Palmer Gym. and will be thened to the frontier days plan of this years celebration.
 Other events, already planned, include series of boys and girls bicycle races, to be managed by Clyde King, Jr.; an aerial distri- button of prizes in balloons to be released from the plane of Bob Totten; a baton tWirling contest among the girls of Palmer High School; sports events; a baseball game.

It did not soothe him any when

Matt Windsor, who came here as
an entertainer back in the early
sos when the Russian Troika was
brand new and who for the past
several years has been successfully
operating his own Windsor Room.
Mr.. Windsor is aware of the
pitfalls ahead in the project on
which he is now working, but he
feels certain he can avoid them.
He knows as well as anyone that
the establishment earned a repu-
tation several years ago as a place
where the tab always seemed to be
$50 and that several subsequent
sets of owners never managed to
establish any reapproachment with
very many cash customers. Things
will be different this time, he is
sure. Or at least he has high hopes
that things will be different.

charge any cover or minimum, the
prices won't be high and I'll give
people their moneys worth.

enough that won't be haunted by
the Club Cairo's past"

South Africa Finds
No u. n. Defenders
For lis Racial Laws

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. %
(CDN Representatives Of a
great part of the civilized world
are heaping condemnation on the
Union of South Africa for Its
new experiments In race segrega-
ton and discrimination.
T. E. Donges, South Africa's
Minister Of Interior. finds his
country virtually without a de-
fender against charges of mis-
treatment Of Asians brought by
India.
The continuing discussions be-
fore q United Nations committee
make mention of rigid segregation
that contributed to the Durham
race riots Of 18 months ago.
The basis for u. N. discussion
at this time Is the new South
African Group Areas Act" which
seeks to segregate whites. blacks,
Asians and mulattoes into sep
arate economic and social dis
tricts. >
South Africa's new laws, It is
pointed out, are turning back the
hands of time to create hatreds
and discrimination"

Senator Lodge. representative OF
Massachusetts,, pointed out that
no people are perfect regard
ing discrimination, including the
United States.
But, he stated. the United States
Is working to end discrimination
not to increse it. He pointed out
that the Christian, Buddhist. Hin
du. Jewish and Moslem religions
all advanced the equality of men
These are voices to which the
United Nations cannot turn a deaf
ear" stated Senator Lodge.
Latin American nations are
among South Africa's bitterest
critics. The representatives of
Mexico. Cuba. the Dominican
Republic and Brazil have decried
South Africa's "blatant racism. !"
DR.. Gopol Swaroop Pathak of
India charged that South Africa

tory law.

Copies of the act were distrib-
uted over the protest of Mr..
Donges.
In an effort to improve rela-
tions. five countries sought to get
India, Pakistan and South Africa
to engage in round-table discus
sions. The Indians have refused
to engage in such discussions
while the South Africans are
"busily engaged" in applying their
new segregation act.
South Africa contends that
segregation is domestic matter
and is not the business of the
United Nations.
South Africans say the Cow
enant of Human Rights Is still
not completed. that they have not
signed it, that other countries are
exceeding their authority In con-
demning the union and that dis
cussionS are illegal.
