Residents of No. Palmer Air Views on Water
 System. Incorporation

The North Palmer Development Association. representing North Palmer residents, held a caucus Monday evening in the garage building of E. c. Christensen to discuss matters pertaining to in- corporation of Palmer and the shortage of Palmer's water SUD- ply.
 With Ernie Bowens and Frank Brown presiding, the incorpora- ton of Palmer was discussed pro and con amongst the group of in- terested people present. While a few were against incorporation must were for it. But all were in accord in that something must be done about our water situation.
 Several wondered why the Co., Op hadn't done something about the water shortage several years ago since shortages had been known to exist for several years. Another asked why the Coop raised water rent to $4 monthly when they can't supply water. So why charge for it! Still another wondered what became of ap- proximately $20,000 which had been paid the Coop over peri cd of. years for water rent by North Palmer people since no mo- ticeable expenditures had been made towards improving their lines to North Palmer.

kiWanians to Hold Easier Egg Hunt
 For Valley Tots

In spite of the fact that Easter will arrive at an early date this year, the Palmer Kiwanis club will again stage their Easter egg hunt which made such big hit with the local youngsters last year, it was announced this week.
 Hugh Johnson, president of the local group, said each Kiwanian is to furnish two dozen hard boiled eggs for the event. They are to be left at the Palmer Drug store by Saturday night, March 24. Townspeople are also invited to contribute eggs, to add to the youngsters pleasure. These must be boiled and colored before de- livery because the Kiwanis club has no means of doing it this year, he added. The hunt will again be conducted in the area surrounded by the Rec hall, the school and the lodge.
 KiWanians serving on the work ing committee consist of Jack Maze, Ev Yohn, John L. Sullivan and Joe Lover.
 Additional information and rules for the egg hunt will be an- nounced next week, at the regu- lar Monday night meeting.
 The club voted to use, its PA system on non-political basis in urging the public to get out and vote in the forthcoming school board election to be held April 3. Member Jack Tost will provide battery service to the system and Ev Yohn will donate several rec ordS.
 The idea for buying a miniature railroad has been abandoned on the recommendation of the fi- nance committee who found 1t too expensive a project.
 At the board of directors meet ing, which followed the regular meeting, several bills were ap- proved. The need for better pro- grams was discussed at length by the members. Jack Maze was ap- pointed program chairman for the next noon meeting, to be held March 19, at the Rec dining hall

AIRPORT BUILDS
RUBBER RUNWAY

The first airport runway in the west
ern hemisphere incorporating natural
rubber was laid recently in Canada. The
Royal Canadian Air Force has put
down a strip of natural rubber-asphalt
paving at its St. Hubert Airport, near
Montreal.
R. c. A. F. officials in charge Of the
project believe that the use of natural
rubber in the airstrip surfacing will add
to the Life of the runway, while reducing
maintenance requirements to a mini
mum. Past tests indicate that natural
rubber paving is less affected by tenn
perature changes, which cause ordinary
asphalt materials to become soft and
distorted in hot weather and brittle and
cracked in winter freezes.
Of interest also in the airport appli-
cation is evidence from test roads that
natural rubber paving has certain other
qualities which would improve airport
pavements. Natural rubber-asphalt
paving mixtures weather better than
straight asphalt paving materials. They
areless susceptible to sun rays and other
deteriorating weathering conditions.

R. AT. Aids in Red Bandit Fight

Although Malaya's fight against
Communism for the most part involves
jungle fighting, units of the Royal Air
Force and the Royal Australian Air
Force have been successful in locating
and attacking many Red targets. In
one month recently, some 800 aircraft
struck at strategic Red bandit targets
chiefly in the state of Johore. Brand
new jet fighters, heavy bombers and
even flying boats are constantly straf-
ing and bombing Red targets wherever
they can find them.
On the ground, more than 100000
police and regular forces are fighting
the Communist-inspired jungle gueril-
las. Although casualties and property
damage throughout Malaga have been
high, nowhere have the Reds been able
to gain permanent control.

Latex foam cushioning. almost un-

Of upholstered furniture. New chairs
and sofas appearing in the stores this
fall show an increasing trend to this
unique new cushioning material.
Modern designers especially are en-
thusiastic about latex foam, finding it
the perfect answer to their particular
requirements. Latex foam holds neat,
crisp lines which will never sag or mat
down; it lends itself to any shape or
contour, no matter how unusual.
From the homemaker's spoint of view,
latex foam is an ideal household mate

Gains Made Against
Reds in Malaga Fray
Despite the shocking attack BY
Malaya's Communist forces
on October 6 Dhen a group Of
Red snerrillas shot down Sir
Henry Quincy, High Commits
sioner Of Malaga, the terror
lists are slow!y losing ground
In their battle for MaLaya.

In the past few weeks, the number Of
bandit surrenders has risen, and the
Red guerrillas'are becoming more and
more reluctant to initiate pitched bat
ties with Malayan soldiers and police.
Information from the public leading to
the capture of Reds has increased, and
several Communist propaganda print
ing presses have been seized and de-
stroyed.
The leader of Cog> >nunist operations
in Malaga has now been named and a
price put on his head. He is Chin Peng,
Secretary-General of the Malayan
Communist party. A reward of $50, 900
(Straits) has been offered for his cap
ture alive, and S6O,OOO (Straits) dead.
Recently, several Communist leaders
with large sums on their heads have
been killed.
Malaya's Red war is no hit-or-miss
affair by any means. 1t is carefully
organized and executed program, de-
signed with usual Communist cunning
to undermine the nation economy and
wheedle or frighten the Malayan peo-
pie into submission or active support
of the Reds. --
The rubber plantations continue to
be the major targets Of attack, for rub
Der is the blood of Malaga. Disrup-
ton of Malaya's rubber production
would seriously affect the livelihood Of
millions of Malayans, and the Com
munists know that hungry people are
dissatisfied people. an easy mark for
Red persuasion
In the Moscow-manual of conquest,
this may be good theory. In practice
in Malaga, however, it hasn't worked.
The rubber growers have refused to be
frightened. Malaya's 1850 rubber out
put of 700, 900 tons was at a record rate.

Small Farmers
Grow 45%
of Malayan Rubber

There are, roughly, $4,000 small
holders producing rubber in Malaga

pay expenses for smokehouse fuel,

average family of five.
His standard of living has indeed
greatly improved because of the better
prices for rubber, and he is making the
kind of progress which is the best
possible anhdote to Communism. The
