and clay sediments found in Alaska
1t was found that the letting drill
costs less to operate. This method
also showed that it was cheaper
to complete a well in this manner
than by using heavy cable rig.
The letting drill did great deal
more than was expected and func-
toned to a reasonable extent in
| heavy gravelly formations although
not its proper medium. Three test
holes were run at Palmer and one
begun in Anchorage the last part
CT the season.
The Anchorage test hole was STOP
ped at IS feet where very large
boulder prevented further progress.
Special tools will be necessary next
season to crack this boulder in order
that the hole may be continued to
the expected depth of several hun
dred feet. 1t is expected in the An
chorage area where sediments are
generally fine grained and full of
clay that very rapid progress can
be made with this letting rig in
most places. Under favorable con-
ditions, it will be possible to drill
more than 100 feet a day.
Frank Trainer, second member of
the party, completes his second sea-
son in Alaska Stationed in the
Palmer Geological Survey office, he
did a geological and Neurological
study of the Palmer Wasilla area.
He has left for Harvard where he
will take further training in the
graduate school.
John Kerr, third member of the
parry, is in Anchorage at present
completing an inventory of existing
privately owned wells. At the COM
p,etion of this inventory. he will
leave for Charlottesville, North Ca
rolina.
The work will be continued next
year in the Anchorage and Palmer
areas depending upon the scope Of
funds.

SEASONS RESEARCH
COMPLETED BY GEO.
SURVEY IN INTERIOR

Completing his seasons work in
the Kotzebue, Palmer and Anchor
age areas, D. j. Cederstrom, district
geologist of the ground water branch
Of the Water Resources Division of
the Geological Survey left last week
for his home office in Charlottes-
vile, North Carolina.
A test hole was completed to a
depth of 1875 feet at Kotzebue insan
effort to see if suitable water was
present. The well was stopped at
that point because Of a flow of salt
water showing that it was useless to
spend money for further eXplora-
ton. Water in the area will have to
be developed from shallow surface
sources.
Permafrost in this test hole was
encountered to a depth of 23e feet
necessitating the use Of steam at
times to thaw out the castings. Re-
moteness of area and lack of equip
ment and machine shops ran the
cost of the job up. Air freight was
paid to have drill pipe flown from
Fairbanks to Kotzebue and miscel-
laneous parts had to be flown from
as far as Seattle.
At Palmer, a professional driller
was brought from stateside to build
letting drill for the purpose Of de-
termining the feasibility of this drill
ling method in unconsolidated sand

RuroI PIonning Committee

Frankly, it has been disappointing to the Sentinel
Rural Planning Committee released two weeks ago.
We have observed only editorial bethesda Trbune)
and have received one letter. The Tribune commented
as follows:
- Its quite apparent from the report of the Rural
Advisory Committee, headed by Lathrop E. Smith of
Traviah the the Upper County doesn't want any high
powered government planning agency with lot of fancy
notions about building inspection, etc.
"The committees recommendation was that an un-
paid commission be appointed composed of residents
of the area affected and that at lest three of the
bers shall be farmers From the rest of the report, it
quite apparent that the Upper County regards this
commission something that will protect the present
residents from the loss of property values that might be
caused by the unrestricted development of subdivisions
In providing against this potential evil, though
the Upper County not going overheard It's not asking
for any more government regulation than absolutely
necessary and what regulations there to be, the
Upper County wants to be it has a hand in MAX
ing them We don't blame the people in the Upper
County and we admire their independence. We, too,
beve there's something than too much govern
ment."
The County Council on Tuesday passed an ordinance
creating the Planning Commission along lines recon-
mended by the Advisory Committee. The commission
will consist of five members at least three of whom shall
be farmers residing in Upper County Four of these
members will be appointed by the president of the
County Council before July 1.
The new Commission will hold hearings on zoning
subdivisions inspection of public buildings and similar
matters The comments of residents OF the Uppex Coun
ty should be invaluable to the commission in setting up
its plan. Let us hear from you t s{t.
The letter reads: - June H. 1850

County Housekeeping
BY MARJORIE CARTEL

They teach a member of the family
to care for the patient, or, with
the aid of the new housekeeping
service of the Public Health Law
Council, find a temporary home
maker to keep the family going
while the mother is receiving
necessary hospital care. DR.. Ellicot
sees the need for services of this
kind increasing in the county, and
is planning a seven year program
of adding to his nursing staff to
provide eventually a minimum -
one nurse for every 800 of count
population.
Health Services Grow
Growth in county health services
has been more marked in some
years than in others and 1919 was
year of rapid growth. In the
1948 annual report the Health
Officer said, "The increase in pop
uiation has placed a heavy load on
Health Department nurses, par
ticularly in the suburban area.
While no increase in staff has
been allowed in the last two years
we see good prospect for 1949. :. . g.
A higher salary scale is also much
needed" The Council did not d.
appoint the Health Officer. The
first budget adopted by the County
Council in July, 1949, included a
new salary schedule, granting
nurses 10ft increase in their
base pay to allow for the cost of
living bonus which other county
employees had been receiving.
Provision was also made for the
addition of six new nurses. The
Health Dept. report will be con-
tinued next week.
