 City Manager Robert E. Sharp lent an official sanction to the fund drive in Anchorage by em- phasizing Anchorage's interest m the proposed new hospital in Pal mer. He cited Civil Defense plans which would make Palmer the concentration point if evacuation of the Anchorage area became necessary. He stressed the fact that not only civilian casualties of a bombing attack might need the hospital facilities but patients at Providence Hospital would also have to be accommodated in the Palmer area.

The following letter was sent Tuesday night to the Mayor of Anchorage, members of the An chorage City Council, and mem- bers- of Anchorage Public Utili- ties.
 "A special meeting of represen- tatives of the Palmer Chamber of Commerce, City Council, Pioneer Grange, KiWanis, P.T.A. and the Matanuska Electric Assoc. was held this evening to discuss the power crisis in the Anchorage Palmer area and to devise ways and means of cooperating with the citizens of Anchorage, the APU and other generating or ganizations toward a solution of the problem.
 By enthusiastic agreement those in attendance voted to sponsor a voluntary brownout during the peak hours of 5PM to 7PM. All Palmer residents and members of the Matanuska Elec- tric Assoc. are being asked to cut down on home power consump- ton and city merchants are re- quested to cut off all but neces- sary lighting between these hours In many cases employee hours will be staggered so that the eve ming meal can be prepared either before or after the peak power load takes place here in the Val ley.
 Tt will interest the Boarc members of the Anchorage Pub lie Utilities to learn that the MEA has arranged with the Matanuska Farmers Cooperating Assn. tc supply l40 XIV of energy at the peak demand and the JoneSville coal mine is supplying 180 XIV to- ward meeting the present cleo trical crisis.
 Even with the drastic brown out in our business area, conser, vation by housewives and oul generation of auxiliary power WE still do not have enough power to serve the needs of our resi- dents, farmers and businesses.

NEW HOSPITAL ASSN. TO BE BROUGHT UP AT PUBLIC MEET SOON

' in view of the requests which have come from various civic or ganizations and individuals in connection with the hospital fund drive, the Hospital Board and the fund raising committee feel that it would be a good idea to hold a public meeting to clarify the re- lationship between the hospital, the Presbyterian Board of Ma tional Missions, and the commu- nifty.
 According to Rev Harry Gay ley, Rev. Roland Armstrong, the field representative of the Pres byterian Board of National Mis- sions and a member of the local hospital board, will be in Palmer in the very near future. At the time of his visit, a public meeting will be called. Sufficient an- nouncement of the time and place will be made so that everyone in- terested can attend.
 Paul Robinson, attorney for the hospital, has informed the Hos pital Board that it will be neces- sary to form a new corporation to take over the assets of the present Valley Hospital before May, 1852. If the citizens of Pal mer and neighboring communi- ties wish to form a new associa- ton at this meeting, the attorney for the hospital will be present to advise on the procedure neces- sary. Revised bylaws as recom- mended by the hospital board for the Hospital Association will also be presented for approval.

Jan KosIosky Assumes Munugership Of the Mafanusku Valley Bank

OIeClOIS O1 tne MdldnuShd Valley Bank announced this week that Jan Koslosky. president, is taking over full time manage ment of the bank.
 The resignation of Jack Maze. manager of the bank since Janu- ary, 1947, has been accepted. He and Mrs. Maze, who has resigned her position as teller, will devote their full time to personal busi- ness enterprises in and around Palmer.
 The local bank was organized in 1946 under Territorial Law. Shareholders are local people, among whom Jan Koslosky, Ma yor Carl Meier, Dr. Foster Sims, and Art Madison are on the board of directors. Since it's organiza- ton the bank has grown and prospered with Palmer The de- posits of the bank are in excess of one million dollars, and there is a surplus in excess of $25,000. Depositors are fully insured against embezzlement, theft, rob- bery, and fire through the Mary land Casualty Insurance Compa- ny and other insurance compa- nies.
 The new manager of the bank and his brother, Harold, are own CTS of Koslosky's Department store in Palmer, the Hub Cloth ing store in Anchorage, the Thrif- ty Merchandise Mart in Anchor age, and. other business enterpri- ses both in Palmer and Anchor age.
 Jan Koslosky first opened his small frame store in Palmer in 1885, the year the Colonists first came to the Valley. Since that time, Koslosky enterprises in Pal mer have expanded until they represent value, at the present time, in excess of one million dollars. He is one of the few busi- nessmen in this area whose back ground is almost entirely Alas kan. Reared in the Anchorage area, he obtained his elementary schooling and graduated fron the high school in Anchorage. His attendance at the University of Washington and wartime service in the armed forces from 1922 through 1945 marked his only residence outside the Territory. His father, I. Koslosky first came to the Territory in 1897. He went over Chilkoot Pass in the early days of the gold rush and also participated in the gold rush at Nome. He went into business m Anchorage in 1915.
 Considering his personal back ground and manifest faith in AL aska's future, the directors are confident that Manager Jan Kos losky of the Matanuska Valley Bank will serve the Valley in its best interests commensurate with continued prosperity and pro- gress:
