COMMUNITY CHEST
 DRIVE NETS S2,529

Following the Community Chest board meeting held this week, it was disclosed that 8 total of $2,529.OO has been realiz- ed from this years Community Chest Drive in Palmer.
 Tn view of the tightness of money this fall," board mem bers commented, 'the result is very gratifying even though be- low the goal" It shows that the Community is well pleased with the services it supports, and "gives till it hurts"
 At the board meeting it was determined that by adding the balance already on hand in the bank from last year (contribu- tions received during the year and economies in administration and each board member present add ing a few cents, the budgets of local agenecies could be met on a seven percent discount basis.
 The only budget not cut was that of the Welfare and Disaster Fund Council, an agency that had already been considerably cut be- fore the allocation of funds was agreed upon at the start of the campaign. The Welfare Council has a-l,000 balance in the bank in it's Disaster and Emergency Loan accounts.
 All allocation of funds is for the fiscal year January l to December 31, 1853. Distribution will be made as of January l.
 Funds earmarked for the Health Council will be held by the Chest and distributed to the Council only as warranted by a for the Public Health Nurse position now vacant, or as may. be necessary to keep the Health Center open on a part time bases, pending her arrival.
 The gratitude of the community has been earned the hard way by the many volunteer solicitors who worked to make this cam paign a success.
 The books of the Palmer Com Chest will, as usual, be by Certified Public Ac- countant and the results will be published in The Frontiersman at later date.

$250, ,000 Investment Planned Near Sutton
EXPANDING ROCKS TO FORM BASIS
 FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

According to recent announce ment, Sutton will be the site of new Alaska construction indus try.
 Jack Harrison of Anchorage Sand and Gravel, one of the pro- motors of the new enterprise said the industry, known as Basis Product, Inc. will be located near the site of a large deposit of special blue shale that is required for making expanding rocks that puff up like popcorn when heat ed.
 The puffed rocks will be ground and used as the aggregate in concrete instead of sand and gravel.
 About 25 men will be employed in the plant and pit, which will be eXcavated from the surface with dozers and shovels.
 Harrison said that mining and geological survey men have told nm that the blue Shale at the chosen site is in plentiful supply, and very accessible.
 Main part of the new plant will be a steel cylinder about 100 feet long and seven or eight feet in diameter, which is to serve as the kiln. Inside the pipe it will be heated to between 1900 and 2O0O degrees Fahrenheit. Resultant cin- ders will be ground into powder, the usable aggreCT
 Wolf G. Bauer, Seattle, con- sulting engineer who will help design the plant will be in An chorage next week to attend an open meeting planned to describe the merits of the new aggregate.

CITY RESIDENTS TO VOTE ON SEWER
 PROPOSAL NOV, I8

Qualified voters were reminded this week of the special election to be held in Palmer November 18 to decide whether or not the city of Palmer shall incur indebt- edness in the sum of $250,000 for the purpose of acquiring an ex- tension to the sewerage collection system Qualified voters are those whose names appear on the last tax assessment roll and include real and personal property own CTS.
 Considered a prime requisite for the health program of a grow ing city, it was pointed out by Alaska Public Works officials during their many visits to City Council meetings that to purchase this sewerage system at this time when assistance from APW funds are available would be a sound if nancial investment for property owners. APW funds would pay one-half the projects costs.
 However, to finance the pro- posed sewerage system a small mill levy will be necessary, city officials believe. The city's one- half share payment of the pro- ject would commence only when the project was completed and turned over to the city.
 Polls will be open from 500 am. to 700 pm. at the Coop club room.

PALMER G OF G PLAN TO REACTIVATE

Guest speaker at the Palmer Chamber of Commerce luncheon on November 5 was John Crowl of the Anchorage C of C.
 Using as his subject, plans to reactivate the local chapter, Crowl outlined an overall plan for sev- eral years planning and sug- gested pertinent aims that, in his opinion, should be worked on. These included, CD large scale land clearing in the Valley. With the Valley basically agricultural, he pointed out, more and more and will be needed to keep up with the increase. He pointed to the fact that there are no develop ed farms available for sale to newcomers. CD New and laws providing for large homestead acreage than the now present 16O acre limit.
 One way, he pointed out, to start reactivating is to make a list of all the needs of the Valley, whether they be roads, land, rec reation or others. He proposed the top eight needs be selected and the whole chamber go to work on them. Every business man in the Valley is interested in seeing this Valley develop" he stated. Additional suggestions were made by Crowl for the completion of such program.
 In the absence of President William Zahradnicek, Bill Rem pie, secretary-treasurer and re- gently appointed board member, conducted the meeting. Guests present at the meeting include Bill Strandberg of Anchorage and Lucille Mick and Hallene Ingalls of Palmer.

Ski Club Members Shovel Snow-Blocked Rood;
 Tow Nearing Completion

Several members of the Mat anuska Ski Club proved their sincerity in their attempt to get the ski tow equipment to the selected site last Sunday, by hand shoveling more than a mile of drifted snow on the road above the Little Susitna Lodge. Dark ness called a halt to the venture about one mile short of the goal.
 ''If we can get another good group like we had this week, we'll have it done next week." one of the members stated. There is enough snow in the area now, for good skiing, members reported. Many took skis along on the power wagon to be used for the tow, and skied back down the mountain following their days work.
 Once more the club asks any one interested in helping with the tow to report at Little Susitna Lodge this coming Sunday, or contact Joe Gallant for transpor- tation.
 Preparations have been started for the clubs annual free rally to be held November IS. Enter tainment, dancing, singing and an evening of fun has been assured for all those attending.

@. By what methods may bacon be
cooked?
A. By broiling, panbroiling, PAN
frying or roasting.
@. What are the steps to follow
for these methods?
A. In broiling the meat is placed
on the rack and the broiler pan ad-
justed so that the meat is 2 inches
from the heat. It is cooked until
brown, then turned and cooked on
the second side. In panbroiling,
bacon is cooked over low heat in a
frying pan with the excess drip
pings poured off as they accumu-
late. The bacon is turned frequent,
ly for even cooking. In panfrying
the meat is cooked in its drippings,
turning frequently. After cooking
by all of these methods, the bacon
should be placed on absorbent
paper to drain. Roasting is an
ideal method when cooking a large
amount Of bacon. Place meat on
rack in open roasting pan and cook
until desired doneness is obtained.

where it had stood for many years.
The Matchbox was presented to
Mr.. Edward Simmons who held
one of the jobs at the crossing.
This Matchbox has been in use at
the crossing for about 80 or 100
years and is believed to have been
placed there in 1855 when the rail-
road was constructed and the first
train went down the Delaware line.
Two men who were watchmen then
were Daniel Salmons and William
Carey. In later years Salmon was
retired and Carey was transferred
to the crossing at Cheswold. The

people met on the street nearby
and held friendly chats during the
