 NOTES
Lew Hanks

The land clearing season has started George Small and Dave Bryant have started clearing op. eraiions that know Of There may be others These men have done some good clearing jobs in the past I've looked over several of them The Soil Conservation Service has received a list of ap. plicants for land clearing pay ments from the Extension Ser vice
 II Is our intention to inspect each prospective clearing prior to dozing That Is our responsibility. The purpose of prior inspection is tWofold First to check your soil so tha; both you and afc sure the land will be farmable after you spend your money clearing it. Second, to help you lay out wlndbreak locations 10 both your and our satisfaction. The Exten- sion Service cannot pay for clear ing if II exposes a field to more intense wind erosion.
 An approval by the Soil Con- servation Service is not assurance that you will be paid for clearing. The Extension Service sends out that approval. The S.CS. can only certify that your land is feasible to clear for farmland or that the job vas done satisfactori- ally. You can't be paid unless the clearing job is certified by the S.C.S. as satisfactory.
 We hope that approval for payment for acres can be made. This as we'll as the final approval of applicants for payment will be determined by the Farm Plan ming Committee which was elect ed by the farmers by mail vote to MT. Blue some months ago. Good luck on your land clearing. It's lots of work but it is the only way we'll make a farming coun- try out of Alaska.

their current winning string at
the same teams expense tonight

a setback here.
Walter Samanski, Eddie Busch,

Lallo spearheads the defense.
The Lions have clicked with a

for goals against Springfield. But
Coach Ducky Skinner hopes to get
Val Delory and Lou Kiley, both
former Boston Olympians, to give

Title Shot al Carter
Sought by Gonsa|ves,
Winner Over zuIueta
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Johnny
Gonsalves was ready to park on
Lightweight Champion Jimmy
Carter's doorstep today following
his come-from-behind split-deci-
sion victory over Orlando Zulueta.
The stringbean contender from
Oakland, Calf. achieved two of his
long-sought goals--a Garden and
national television show victory
when he edged Zulueta with a
second-half rally last night. That
brought him closer to his third
ambition, a title crack at Carter.
For a while it looked as If the
22-year-old, third-ranking con-
tender was going down to defeat
in his Garden and national TV
debut. He appeared awed and
couldn't get going. BY the end of
the third round he was trailing
badly and was cut under the right
eye and over the left eye.
But the 1854 pound youngster
warmed up in the fourth round
and from then on outscored his
aggressive rival with flashy COM
bination punches to get the nod.
Referee AL Berl and Judge Arthur
Aidala had him in front. 6-3-1.
Judge Jack Gordon scored for the
133-pound Zulueta. SAL. The
A.P. card had Gonsalves the win
ner, 5-4-1.
II was frozen during those early
rounds" admitted Gonsalves, a
12-to-5 favorite, afterward. II

With cold weather and rain or

their first National Football

went up today. The Browns.
however, continued to rule 10

whether it will impede the visi-

matter. Big Marion Motley is
running as well as ever at full
back, after bad season last year,
and the club has regained the
services of Ken Carpenter and
Rex Bumgardner, who were out
with injuries earlier this season.
The Browns, due here this aft

ground in the tight race for undis-
puted lead in the National Foot

with the New York Giants and
