CITY, COOP
 WATER CONTRACT BEING DRAFTED

Still unsigned-despite a yer bal agreement between Palmer's new city council and the board of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating association-is the contract which will bring water to the rationed sections of this town.
 While homes and business con cerns on non-Co-Op owned prop erty suffer from daily water shut offs, the contract which was to have been rushed through ''im- mediately" for signatures by Co., Op and council, remained in at- torney's hands in Anchorage.
 Work for laying the extension of pipe and Hume to tap creek and connect with the Co-Op's present line, apparently had ceased temporarily. Delay in ob- taining the pipe, and delay in signing the city-Co-Op agreement were reputedly the cause.
 Meanwhile, more than half the city goes "dry" and fire menace mounts.
 At the last meeting, the Coop was represented by E. R. Brock, chairman; Pat Hemmer, board member; Carl R. Rasmussen, act ing general manager, and their attorney, Edward Davis. The en- tire council and the mayor, with their attorney, Harold Butcher, of Anchorage, represented the city. , "The question is whether the Coop board enters into a con- tract to furnish water to the city generally-if the city gets the wa ter system before the Coop is reimbursed for our costs on build ing the extension-wil the city pay us what we have not collect ed?", Hemmer questioned.
 Brock and Rasmussen both said the Coop has no funds to build the line, but with city coopera-

Civic Affairs
 In Spotlight At c of G Meeting

Site of the famous old trad ing post at the end of the Matan- uska bridge---reputedly one of the first buildings in this area carved out of logs by white man has been donated to the City of Palmer as a public park and camping site.
 The report that C.C. Erik had given the land was made at the meeting of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce Wednes- day.
 CIVIC AFFAIRS
 Jack Maze, acting chairman of the meeting, ran through other matters of civic interest in heavy business session of the Chamber.
 Reappointed as Health Council representative from the Chamber was Louise Kellogg, with con- mendations on her work over the past year. ......
 Palmer Day at Anchorage was discussed. Palmer has been invi- ted to set the date, with a view as to when the two Chambers of Commerce could meet with guests of Chambers from Outside. Pal mer was invited to co-sponsor with Anchorage the visit of more than 100 editors who are touring this area as a sidetrip from the national convention of the Nat

 Minimum charge for booth space is $1 per market day, or weekly sellers, and $1 or 10 percent of gross sales for regular cent of gross sales for occasional sellers.
 In true community spirit, the market is offering free booth for public service groups. Already signed up are the Ladies' Aid of the United Protestant church, the Homemakers council of Pal mer, Palmasilla and Riverbend Homemakers clubs. Other or ganizations should make reserva- tions fast, Miss Eby said.
 Plans for the market are at tracting wide attention. Intensive promotion of the market will start through newspapers and ra- dio the week before its opening, to attract patronage from Anchor age and other points and draw a tourist trade.

MILLION DOLLAR RAIN" BREAKS
 VALLEY DRY SPELL

Farmers throughout the Mata- nuska valley were happy today as "a million dollar rain" brought relief to near-drought conditions.
 Soil conservationists, agricul- tural researchists as well as the solid-dirt farmers estimated the longed-for rain which poured Thursday night and was continu- ing Friday, literally will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in crop returns If it keeps on raining.
 Weather forecast was for more Tight" rain.
 Rainfall for Thursday night and up to noon today, Friday, meas ured half inch. Rainfall ear Her in the week measured one third inch.
 Firefighters also placed unlim- ited value on the rain in wetting down blazes endangering valu- able timber and farms.

RADIO REPORTS TO THE PUBLIC

The POLICY of the administration to keep the popu-
lace informed of what is taking place is a most commendable
one, and should become fixed. And the advent of radio sta
tons in the Virgin Islands contributes admirably to the ex-
tension Of this policy. Governor de Castro has used to good
advantage the power of the radio in many instances, includ-
ing making direct appeals to workers and reporting on his fire.
quent trips to Washington.
From the first days Of the Civil Administration trips to
Washington by Governors and legislative committees have
been important ventures, and equally necessary. The Cover
nor must report frequently to Committees of Congress; he
must plead for deficiency appropriation each year, and in SO
doing must equip himself with full and convincing informa-
ton to be used in securing these appropriations. He must pick
his opportunity to renew pleas for the return of the Internal
Revenue taxes and hope that in his many efforts somehow,
some day satisfactory results may be had.
IN TIMES PAST, whenever any representatives headed
for Washington the public had to wait until a mass meeting
could be arranged, or a report given through the press. But
effective as these might have been they had their disadvan-
tages. Mass meetings would not always serve the purpose
since many could stay away, or those present might be dis
tracted. Reports to the press, on the other hand, must be sum
mary, and await the time when the detailed report could be
run in instruments. The radio answers the problem admirably
The chief executive, or the legislator who wants to make his
report can do SO in one evening, and reach practically the en-
tire population of the Islands.
IT is HOPED that Administration reports to the people
will continue. Such reports being reinsurance and faith, con
fdence that there is a definite relationship between the Ad-
ministration and the people, and an understanding that what
ever is being done is in the interests of the entire group. We
believe that it will be found that public relations will have
gone a long way, and many a problem ironed out.
