Ex-Servieemen Under 26
 Must Register with Loeol S Boord Within 90 Doys

Men between the ages of IS and 26. separated from the Arm cd Forces and not previously re- glstered, are required by law to register at a Selective Service ocal board within 30 days of the date of their separation. This also applies to those separated from the Coast Guard, the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Pub lie Health Service"
 John L. Mccormick. Alaska Director of Selective Service, made that statement today in commenting on records he said he had received from some of AL aska's local boards to the effect hat they knew of instances m which the separated men were not complying with the law.
 Mir Mccormick quoted Select i've Service regulations as follows:
 Every man who (a) has been separated from active service in the armed forces, the Coast Guard, the Coast and Geodetlc Survey, or the Public Health Ser vice, (b) has not been registered prior to such separation, and Co would have been required to be registered except for the fact that 1e was in such active service on he day or days fixed for his re- gistration by Presidential proc .amation, shall present himself for and submit to registration be- fore local board within the per cd of 30 days following the date on which he was so separated.
 Failure to comply with this re- 3ulation, Mir. Mccormick said. IS violation of the law and makes the subject liable to heavy penal ty. The State Director made 1t plain that it is not necessary for the man to return to his home. He may register at the local board most convenient to him, but he should give his home address when he registers.

City and Coop
 Sign W ater Contract

The long pending water con- tract between the City Council and the Coop came up for final action al the Council meeting last night. Upon a motion made and carried, Mayor Carl Meier was authorized to execute" the docu- ment already signed by the Co., Op.
 Under the terms of the contract, it is recognized that the Council cannot obligate the city's funds for financing the extension to the Coop line, but the Council agrees to attempt to arrange financing.
 The Coop agrees to lay pipe on a temporary basis to divert Carnegie Creek to their own wa ter mains, and later, with pipe furnished by the city, to effect a permanent installation.
 Expenses up to Sl0,000 will be reimbursed to the Coop by set ting aside g percent of their gross receipts from water users. In the event that the full expense up to Sl0,000 is not realized by the Coop from this source before the new city water system is in oper- ation, the city will be obliged to divert a portion of it's water re- venues to the Coop toward the retirement of the debt incurred.
 The city will have access to Co., Op books regarding expenses in- cured in the temporary water extension under the $10,000 ceil- ing.
 Property deriving from the tenn porory extension is to belong to the Coop.
 If additional demands are made on the Coop water supply above the maximum usage at the time the contract was effected-either from additional needs of the Co., Op or extension of service to new customers-it will be the duty of the Coop to find additional Wa ter sources.

REA Possibility

Asked about how such a sys- tenn might be financed at the out set, MT. Gorsuch mentioned a bond issue. He also mentioned the possibility of REA coming in to help in giving area coverage. He thought that service to large agricultural district such as the Matanuska Valley is the ideal sit uation for which REA funds were originally intended.

MEA NOT INTERESTED
 IN TELEPHONE SERVICE

Mrs. Justice Parks, president of the Matanuska Valley Electric Assn, said last week that MEA could not and would not be inter ested in adding telephone service to its present electricity service.
 To receive REA assistance, she said, consumers would have to get together as cooperative unit as was the case when MEA was or ganized.

franchise or by the municipality itself.
 Upon his offer 10 furnish esti- mates, council members piled him with questions about Palmer's needs and what they might be ex- pected to cost.
 A Profitable Business
 According to Gorsuch, the tele- phone business is a profitable en- terprise, particularly if modern equipment eliminates the need for labor In Anchorage, he said one serviceman works 40 hours a week to keep up its 5000 lines.
 Two years ago Anchorage's mu- nicipally owned telephone system was manually operated, and that years operations went $l2,000 in the red. Last year, with modern equipment, the city netted SEA- 900 from its telephone operations and expanded the system besides.
 Recommends 200-5 line
 A 200 line system, expandable to 500 lines as the need arose, would adequently meet Valley needs, according to MT. Gorsuch. This would allow for one, two, three, and five party lines with an average of about stations on each line-a maximum of l,200- l,500 individual stations.
 Pressed for an estimate of such a system, Gorsuch insisted any reliable estimate would have to be based on an engineers study. His overall guess" was that an adequate system could be set up for not much over $l00,00O. He emphasized, however, that he did not want to be held to this figure because there were many variables, including the size of the building. Roughly, he thought, S50,OO0 would take care of the central office equipment for dial system. A 20 by 20 foot room would be adequate to hold this equipment, although n 0 h ? room might be needed for sup

Rev Truman Connely, timer
ant evangelist, who has held forth
on the streets of Clintwood at
divers and sundry times, was
arrested for disturbing the peace
with his preaching on the streets
Of Grundy last Saturday after
noon. (
Connely appeared in front of
the court house at 2:30 p. m and
set up his public address system,
He then began to play hmyns.

Twin Branch Section
To Be Improved
For Picnic Ground

night with a good attendance. The

Ranger Ward of the National
Forest Service attended the meet
ing. He took an application from
the club for a lease on the Twin
Branch area to be used as a pic
mic ground. The picnic grounds
are to be open to the public, but
some responsible organization
must stand good for any damage
done to growing timber.
Ranger Ward reported that
five blind deer have been found
in the High Knob section One
had been sent to Blacksburg for
study. Game Warden Otto Ken
drick reported that four fawns
had been killed in the Twin
Branch section by dogs since
July 4th.
The club received shipment
of 16 coons from Florida last
week. Three of the animals were
dead on arrival The remaining
ones were liberated in forested
land.
The officers wish to correct a
possible impression that this is
the only game conservation club
in the county. There are active
organizations at Haysi, Nora and
on caney Ridge,
