Palmer Is Fastest Growing Town In 3rd Division
Burneffs Tell PIGns for Highway Roadhouse

Another of Palmer's new busi- nesses, now in the process of con- struction, is the roadhouse and night club planned by MT. and Mrs. Glen Burnett and Mrs. Cert rude Edmonds. MT. Burnett, who is doing the major portion of the construction work, poured the footings for the structure yester- day.
 The club, which is not yet named, will be located in the flats at the foot of Bailey Hill, beneath the Albrecht home. Original plans for the 30x40 building will in clude a restaurant and bar, and living quarters for the Burnett family.
 Later, MT. Burnett said, he planned to construct cabins.
 Completion date is not quite certain, but the partners hope to have the structure finished and the business in operation by Sept. 1, in time for fair visitors. Mr. Burnett will be in charge of the bar, and Mrs. Burnett and Mrs. Edmonds will manage the res taurant.
 A little later in the summer, the Burnett-Edmonds combine will sponsor a contest to name the roadhouse. Detailed plans will be announced at that time.

'RATE OF GROWTH us 586 PERCENT
 OVER l940 CENSUS

Palmer residents need take off their hats to no one today. Un- official census returns show 1t to be the fastest-growing town in the entire Third Division. Those same figures report that the Third Division grew more rapidly in the past 10 years than any other Division in Alaska. And census area supervisor Russell Westberg of the Seattle office last week an nounced in Anchorage that the territory undoubtedly" will show a greater percentage of increase in population than any of the states.
 Therefore Palmer is today the fastest-groWing town in the fast est growing Division in the fast est-grnWing territory or state un- der the American flag.
 Anchorage, which has been claiming the greatest percentage of increase in the Division, is far behind Palmer. Palmer's rate of growth is 586 percent, nearly twice the 318 percent increase re- corded by Anchorage.
 Palmer's official census count in 1940 was 150 persons. The count today, as unofficially re- leased, is 879 individuals.
 The Anchorage office of the Bureau of the Census winds up it's affairs today. Assistant supervis- or Jim Brown released the tabu- lated figures printed below, as one of his final acts in office.
 Cost of the population count in the Third Division was almost as breathtaking as some of the cen sus figures, MT. Brown revealed The price of counting in the Third Division ranged from a minimum of $20 a day to a max imum of $l00 an hour. The esti- mated per-person cost is 50 cents an individual.
 Mir. Brown predicted the Thir Divisions total population Wcul outreach it's nearest Divisional rival by more than 26,000 persons He pointed out that the political implications in this figure are legion, since legislative repre- sentation is based on population.
 The entire population figure for recording districts and incorporat- ed cities in 1940 and 1850 is re- produced below. Where no figure appears in the 1940 column, a new recording district is indicated for this census.
 A true population picture for the entire Matanuska Valley can not be obtained, since the Valleys total area was split into separate recording districts. All of the Palmer district, all of the Wasilla district and a. portion of the Tal- keetna district can be considered within the geographic limits of the Matanuska Valley.

d. Post Office Cuts
0verrated 100000

The District Post Office has
made 5000. 900 cut in its estimate
of savings from the new reduction
in service, Postmaster Roy M.
North disclosed last night.
The office now foresees a yearly
saving of about 100000 on re-
duced carrier deliveries, window
and directory service, Mr.. North
said. The original estimate, made
some weeks ago, was about
$700. 900.
The postmaster explained that
the first estimate was necessarily
more or less a wild guess" ON
cials now have been able to study
the question in detail and have
come up with the more accurate
figure. he said.
Curtailed deliveries are ex-
pected to save $400,0 900, and the
balance will be from "a reduction
in the clerical force. the posi-
master said.
Mr.. North said complaints about
late deliveries are being received,
but he was unable to give any
indication as to the volume. They
are being handled politely" he
said.

United States policies toward
Europe are undergoing a drastic
change of direction. The new
policy line calls for deeper and
more drastic and more permanent
involvement of this country in
European affairs.
That is the central fact which
stands out Of Secretary Acheson S
reports and actions here last week
after his return from the cold
war strategy talks with Western
foreign ministers at London.
1t also is the fact which seems
likely from here on to be major
influence in the shaping of for
eign policy debates in Congress
and the country at large. An un-
derstanding of the new policy di-
rection. in the opinion of top ad-
ministration officials, is essential
to grasp what Mr.. Acheson. De-
fenSe Secretary johnson and
President Truman now propose to
do in terms Of future American
commitments.
Two steps Of the utmost i'm
portance are now shaping up for
action by the administration and
almost certainly for eventual de-
bate in Congress:
