Federal Taxes May Take
Huge Toll In 1852

We have to anticipate a very
stiff tax bill, sitter than anything
Americans have ever known be-
fore" said Senator Williams, who
is a member of the tax-writing
Senate Finance Committee. "How-
ever, if we want to find out how
much more taxes we will have to
pay or how much more debt we
have to incur, the thing to watch is
the votes on the appropriation
bills which are now coming before
Congress. That will tell the story
of how much taxes we will have to
assess later, and believe me, it will
be plenty"

Health Council Share Helps Support The Valleys Public Health Program

More than a third of the total Community Chest budget this year will go to the Health coun- cil.
 The Matanuska Valley Health Council is made up of representa- lives from all organizations of the Valley, their most important function being to lend support to the public health nursing program in the Valley.
 Funds received from the Com munity Chest by the Health Council are the largest in the chest budget. but they represent only token fraction of the total expended here in the Valley health services. A 5000 contribu- tion toward the public health nurses salary and $500 in yearly rent for the Health Center come out of the Community Chest. This year, the Chest board recom- mended a total of S1,280 for the Health Council. Part of these funds will go toward the purchase of supplies used daily by Miss Marjorie Myren in her work.
 It is hard to give an adequate picture of the benefits received in the Valley through Miss My ren's work. Literally hundreds have attended the special clinics she has organized for typhoid vaccinations and BCG vaccina- tions. With so many of these clinics, little attention is given the necessary routine that goes into good public health program.
 Perhaps the best way to get m idea about our public health nurse at work, is to follow her

tribute S350 through the Commu- nity Chest. Part of the S11,000 is raised by the Girl Scouts them selves, through their annual sale of cookies. Last year $2345.32 was raised from this source in the Susitna Council area. Girls in Palmer retained five cents for each box of cookies sold to help finance their troop programs. The large part of the Susitna Council budget is raised from the annual drive in Anchorage, which began last week: Palmer does not par ticipate in this drive, but derives it's very small share of the budget total from the Community Chest
 Where does the money go? The annual Girl Scout Camp at Kings Lake is allocated $2,200 of the budget, for only by subsidizing the cost of camp is the weekly fee kept within the reach of the majority of. glrlS. Last summer 24 Girl Scout and Brownies from Palmer troops attended one of the three weekly camp sessions spon- sored by the Susitna Council. To- ward the expense of the senior Scout chosen to attend the Inter national Girl Scout Camp, $200 is allocated. The qualifications for the girl attending this camp are very high, but Mrs. Charles W. Wilson, who is the Palmer dis trict> chairman on the Susitna Girl Scout Council, hopes that a Matanuska Valley girl will be in line for the honor soon. The re- mainder of the budget is devoted - Continued on Page 1O

REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE SHOULD BE REFERRED TO WELFARE COUNCIL

The Welfare and Disaster Council of the Community Chest is the Valleys own welfare or ganization.
 Organized year ago last June to help with immediate emer- gency needs and to bridge the gap between the time when a def mite need arises and the Terri .orial Welfare Department steps in, the nine-member council has been called upon about 25 times for immediate assistance and stepped in unasked with emer- gency help when four families were burned out.
 In most cases the council has worked closely with the public health nurse who is in a position to know CD when help is really needed and (2) whether or not some other agency could or would help At her request peni- cillin was purchased for a patient unable to purchase his own; transportation was arranged for three patients for treatments and examinations in Anchorage; a telegram was sent to the only known relative of a patient gravely ill in Valley Hospital; four pairs of glasses were pur- chased and one repaired for chill dren badly in need and unable to buy; clothing was purchased for two children being sent out for treatment, for a homeless boy (home also obtained), and for four children deserted by their parents; and hospital expenses Continued on Page 1O

LIBRARY ASSN.
 NEEDS CHEST FUNDS FOR UPKEEP, BOOKS

Last January the Palmer Li- brary Association opened it's new library to the people of Palmer, the Matanuska Valley and Jones' vile.
 With more than 100 persons listed as members, the actual work in the library is carried on entirely by volunteer librarians and members of the board. In the past year special attention has been given to development of an excellent children's section, with as many of the finest selections of modern and classic juvenile fiction that the budget will allow. Still the supply does not keep up with the voracious reading appe- tites of the Valleys younger set.
 The library's only sources of income are: CD membership fees, @ up to $50 in book matching funds from the Territory of AL aska, (3) private, unsolicited do- nations, and (4 the Community Chest.
 In the past two years most of the unsolicited donations have gone toward the cost of building the new library. All but about $500 in bills still outstanding have been paid for by contribu- tions of groups and individuals and bake sales held by the board and the membership. Community Chest funds cannot be used for the building cost.

4 Good Girl Scout Program is
 Dependent on Trained leadership

AS the school year opened this year there were 88 Girl Scout members in the Palmer area di- vided into one senior Scout troop, two intermediate troops, and two Brownie troops. Two new Brow nie troops which will take in the girls of the third grade are now in the process of being organized. Most of the fifth grade Brownies are ready to fly up" to interme- diate Girl Scout status.
 The phenomenal growth of Girl Scouting in Palmer, since the or ganization in the spring of 1949 of the first troop, has been the product of three co-ordinating factors: CD the enthusiasm of the girls themselves, who, above all things, want to become Girl Scouts; CD the local leadership of mothers and other interested Wo- men who are determined to give the girls of the Matanuska Valley the same opportunities girls of more developed communities get ito participate in the national Girl Scout program; and (3) the professional Girl Scout leader ship necessary to train local lead CTS so the girls themselves will get the most possible out of their Girl Scouting experience.
 The Girl, Scouts of Palmer are fortunate in being affiliated with the Susitna Girl Scout Council, which also takes in Anchorage and the surrounding territory. The Susitna Council has a budget this year of $11, 1000, of which the Matanuska Valley is asked to con-

Maska's Unfortunate Children Get Help
 Through ACCA FUNDS

The Alaska Crippled Children's Association was recently adopted by the Cheechako Homemakers as their special project, with Mrs. Ida Stadler in charge of all busi- ness activities connected with the association work in Palmer.
 Public Health Nurse Marjorie Myren does most of the profes- sional work in making home calls, arranging for clinic visits and disqualification, and following up with the gear needed to correct or ameliorate each given condi- ton. Currently six Valley chil- dren are receiving disqualification under this program, 20 are at tending orthopedic clinics, and 70 are attending the eye-ear, nose and throat clinic, also maintained through this program.
 The Territorial Department of Health has an excellent program for crippled children in Alaska, so the ACCA, rather than try to duplicate these services, turns ( Continued on Page 6)

United Defense Fund is Our Contribution To No+iondI Emerqency

The quota of the United De- fense Fund, S21455 for Palmer, has been included as part of this years S3,000 goal for the Com munity Chest Red Feather" cam paign.
 This decision of the Community Chest board was based on a rec ognition of national defense needs and the belief that the people of Palmer and the Valley want to contribute to the essential health and welfare programs of United Service Organizations, American Community Defense Services, Ma tional Recreation Assn, American Social Hygiene Assn, United Relief for Korea Clothing for Koreans), but want the number of appeals controlled through fed erated giving.
 The board of the Community Chest believes that this communi- ty would never consider evading it's responsibility to the men and women of the armed forces from Palmer, or any city, since they are safeguarding the security of all of us. Although they wear their country's uniform, they are our sons and daughters and we want to be with them in spirit wherever they are.
 When need for emergency steps became certain last Janu- ary, the United Defense Fund was formed under the auspices of the Community Chests of the whole country and the National Social Welfare Assembly. S16.511,854 is being sought this fall through Community Chest Red Feather Campaigns. Most of this will go to USO operations.
 The United Defense Fund quo- ia from Palmer represents. only seven percent of this community $ total goal. It isn't much, but in a small way it represents the grati- tude of the people of Palmer for the sacrifices made by service men the world over, and also :. their sympathy for the cruel or deal of, suffering Koreans.
