School Tux Collector Fears Stampede on FebrUory Deodline

The School District tax col lector, William Head, asks people of the Palmer Independent School District please to have a heart" "
 Over 75 percent of the 1851 school district real and personal taxes still remain to be paid with in the next two weeks. If people don't start coming into the tax collectors office to pay those tax es soon, there's going to be a ter rife stampede around February l., the last day of payment before penalties are added. People who wait until the last day should start praying now for warm weather on that day because only about ten people at a time can be accommodated inside the office, located in the Neal Wright build ing. The rest of the line will have to wait outside.

C OF C URGES
 10 P. M. CURFEW FOR YOUTHS UNDER I8

Through its representative, Bet . ty Mears, the Chamber of Com merce last night urged the City Council to consider a 10 D. m. curfew in Palmer for all youths under IS.
 The recommendation came as a result of report by the Cham ber's committee on youth pr D. lems and was approved by Cham Der members at their regular noon meeting yesterday.
 The City Council, which had previously given consideration to such proposal, instructed City Attorney Harold Butcher to draw up proposed curfew ordinance. Previously the curfew question had been deadlocked by a choice of the hour. It was argued that school children frequently attend school functions which extend beyond the proposed hours. The enforcement problem was also a stickler.
 The committee on youth prob lens also proposed yesterday noon that a list be kept of ques- tionable incidents observed by chamber members and all others who are interested in youth vel fare, which incidents would be reported to Clair Stock as chair man of the committee. Some ot t h csc questionable incidents might be merely rumors, but in t!ae hands of the local law en- forcement officials they would be of invaluable assistance in re- vealing where and how to go about protecting the youth of the community.
 The possibility of roller skat- ing rink as a positive recreation al program was also discussed. Young people have frequently pointed out that they go to the bars because there's no other place to go in Palmer.
 Other action taken by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday was a decision in regard to par ticipation in the Fur Rendezvous

The basement was full of potatoes Estimate of spuds lost in the fire varied between 60 and 100 tons. This loss was partly covered by insurance,
 Friends of the Harrises report ed that the couple had worked very hard during the past six or seven years to develop their homestead tract. They had just reached the point where their ef- forts were beginning to pay off"

Wind Returns as Valley Digs Out
 Of Record Snowfall

School was dismissed at noon today as chill winds from the north piled up increasing evil dence of their return to the Val ley after a week of only luke warm activity. School authorities wanted to get the children home while it was still possible.
 This time the winds had no lack of snow to play with and to confound heroic efforts of road commission men to keep the Val ley roads opened.
 Only last night the city and road commission had finished digging out the roads after Tues day nights snow. Men had work ed all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to clear the record snow which fell Friday night.
 Reports about the number of inches of snow which fell on Fri day and Tuesday nights varied throughout the Valley. Certainly local people at last had had a small sample of what the poor people in the States have been enduring for the past two months. Max Sherrod said that he measur- ed Friday nights snowfall at If inches. His moisture gauge re- corded ,92 inches of moisture. From the evidence of snow in his truck bed, Ray Rebarchek re- corded the Friday night fall at 20 inches. Although travel on the roads was virtually at a stand still early Saturday morning, many of them had been cleared by noon. Leo Lucas and his "cat" were greeted with joy by Palmer residents who were clearly sur priSed at such service. By Sun day evening most of the roads in the city had been cleared. The Airport Road remained blocked until Wednesday afternoon be- cause a misunderstanding about which airport road" was meant. The south end of Snodgrass Ave

COUNCIL HEARS
 PROTESTS AGAINST LICENSE ORDINANCE

Certain provisions of City Or dinance IA, which sets license fees for business establishments and provides for the collection thereof, came up for criticism by representatives of three local bars at the meeting of the City Council last night.
 Although Orl~ea ance l4 was adopted only after three consec- utive readings at City Council meetings last fall, those protest ing said that they did not know the size of the fees until Police Chief Bernie Bouwens called on all the business men affected to tell them about the licenses they would need and the final date for obtaining them.
 Jan Koslosky protested that the "special' public dance floor fee of $50 was too high if it ap- piled to the small dance floors in the Club 49 and the Shamrock Lounge. Art Thompson and Ter ry Starns of the T and T Sour dough Bar, the only other one affected, agreed with Koslosky. The license fee for ordinary pub

ACS Takes Over Local Long Distance Service
Defense Asks Dismissal of Gambling Charges Following Raid on Local Bar

Four men charged with gamb- ling at the T and T Sourdough Bar, following a raid early Sun day morning by the U. s. Mar shals office were tried in U s. Commissioners Court Tuesday morning after waiving their rights to a trial by jury in their individual arraignments.
 The four men, who were re- presented by Attorney George Mclaughlin, were s. R. Justad of Palmer, Shrader Hawkins of Anchorage, J. C. Tomasi of Palm CT, and F. W. McAlister of Anch- orage.
 U. s. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton reserved her decision on the case following McLaughlin's move that the case be dismissed for lack of evidence that any gambling was going on. The Con- missioner set Saturday, January 19 at 2 p. m. as the time when court would reconvene and the defendants would hear the de- cision on dismissal of the case.
 The decision probably will have a direct bearing on charges made against two other persons who also were arraigned Tuesday morning. Ralph Horton was charged with dealing or carrying on card games in which gambling was part. Arthur Thompson was charged with maintaining and operating gambling es- tablishment where gaming or gambling was carried or.
 McLauglin, who also repres- ented Horton and Thompson, ob- served: If there is no case on the charge of gambling against the four men, then there is no evil dence in either of the other two cases"
 Testimony given in the joint trial of the four men charged with gambling revealed that the raid on the local bar took place about one o'clock Sunday morning. U. s. Marshal Walter Huntley, who signed the complaints, testified that he followed his three depu- ties into the room at the rear of the bar room. There he saw people sitting around the table where they had been playing fan-tan. There were money and chips all whites on the table. Huntley estimated that there was about $10 in bills in evidence and that there were two $1 Canadian bills under cigar box lying on the table. Under McLaughlin's cross examination he admitted that he did not see the chips and money put on the table and that none of the men admitted gambling.
 Ray Ryan, the new chief depu- ty who recently arrived from the States, was the next one to state the prosecutions case. He testi- fled that he entered the room first and that the fan-tan game was in progress at that time with chips on the table but no money and no cigar box. This was Ry- ans first visit to Palmer.
 U. S. Deputy Marshal Bill Bouwens was the third to testify He entered the room after Ryan. Besides the cards and white chips on the table, he saw, two $1

SANDS SAYS LACK OF CAPITAL LED TO DIsCONTINUATI0N OF CONTRACT

Maynard Sands told the City Council last night that the con tract between the Matanuska Valley Telephone Company and the Alaska Communications Sys- tenn had been discontinued as of Tuesday, January Is.
 Under the contract, which has been In effect since July of 1e49 when ACS took over the Alaska Railroad telephone lines, the To- cal telephone company was to make collections from it's custom CTS for long distance service over the ACS communications facili- ties. Sands told the council that termination of the contract will mean no discontinuation of long distance service for most of his customers. For those who have already established credit with ACS Qor telegraph service) and for those who now establish cred It, long distance calls will mere ly be plugged in to the local ACS board. The local ACS office will then be responsible for billing and collection.
 New AcS Set-up
 Earlier yesterday, Col. John R. Nichol, sector commander for the Alaska Communications System, notified Palmer residents that billings for longs. distance tele- phone calls would be made from the local ACS office effective Wednesday, January 16.
 Long distance toll service is be- ing provided from a booth in the ACS office. To place a long dis tance call from an individual phone, it will be necess4 4ry to es- tablish credit with the ACS. Some people have already established such credit for their telegraph convenience. Others may do so by filling out form in the ACS of- flee. No deposit is necessary. Sgt. Wayne Wheeler who is in charge of the local ACS office will assist local patrons in filling out the credit applications.
 Yesterday the ACS office in Palmer initiated a 24-hour sched- ule in order to provide continu- ous long distance toll service for the people of Palmer. As in the past, there will be three circuits to Anchorage. Two new service men have been added to the local staff. They are Cpl. James H. Ra- zor and Cpl. Raul T. Ridge. They will assist Sgt. Wheeler and Cor porals William Roberts and John Williams.
 Lack of Capital Responsible
 Sands said that his difficulties which led to the termination of the contract were no secret. al though the abrupt termination was a surprise to him. According to Sands, registered letter warn ing him of the possibility had been received by him only yester- day although the letter was dated almost a month before. Under the circumstances, he had no time to raise the necessary money to pay his account as requested by ACS.
 Sands told the council members that he has tried to 'hang on" in the face of council indecision re-
