University to Resume Veterans On-Farm Training Program

COLLEGE-The University an nounced Saturday that its Veter- ln's-on-the--Farm Training Pro- gram will be continued despite recent VA notifications which were at first feared to deny such benefits to veterans trying to de- velop homesteads in Alaska. Con- ferring with VA officials in Jun eau, Allan Mick, newly appointed Dean of Agriculture and Direc- tor of Extension for the Univer- sity, pointed out that the new program will start in September. An enrolment of about no vet eranS is anticipated, with the largest classes located in Wasilla. Palmer, and Homer. Other classes will be conducted for vterans liv- ing in the northern part of the Kenai Peninsula and in the Tan ana Valley.
 Benefits of the new program will be extended to all previously enrolled veterans who still possess training benefits and who have submitted VA form 7-1922a for 1851. Korean war veterans may also qualify although they are not expected to increase the training load substantially until 1854.
 All veterans who have not yet done so are urged to submit promptly Form 1922a listing off farm earnings during 1851. Dr. Mick stated that Veterans who fail to protect their CT rights by submitting the required informa- tion are unnecessarily jeopardiz- ing their future participation in all CT educational programs.
 Of those veterans who have submitted Form 1922a nearly 90 percent have been found eligible for cO-.t...->,, training. It is ex- pected that a high percentage of those who have not yet turned in reports will also be able to con- tinue their training, although VA officials caution that each case must be judged on its own merits. An individuals case cannot be considered until the requested in- formation has been received.

MEME SNYDER HEADS FOR COP NATL CONVENTION

Heading for Chicago today is a Matanuska Valley favorite son who hasn't been outside the Ter ritory since 1916. He is Territorial Senator Gerrit 'Heinie" Snider, one of Alaska's three delegates to the Republican National Conven- ton starting in Chicago's Con- vention Hall July 2.
 In 1916 the World Fair was held in San Francisco, and it was there that Heinie went to meet his bride. Until this week, this was his only trip Outside since he came to Alaska in 1909.
 Snider was elected as delegate to the national convention at Seward by Third Division Repub- licans unopposed. He goes to the convention as an uninstructed delegate. Although he has been reported as a Taft man, as are the other two delegates, Howard Stabler of Juneau and Maurice l Johnson of Fairbanks, Snider in- sists that he won't make up his mind until after he's met both Taft and Eisenhower.
 They're both good men," he said, "and I want to have talk with both of them before l de eide"
 Although he thinks Taft is a very good man for the presidency he's not so sure he would be elected if nominated. One thing the Alaska delegation has in its Continued on page 8)

NEW EKLUTNA BRIDGE OPENED TO TRAFFIC MONDAY, JUNE 90

Traffic started moving over the new $91,630 Eklutna Bridge Mon day on schedule at least accord ing to the third or fourth schedule set by the Alaska Road Commis- sion since construction on the 255- foot span was begun more than a year ago.
 Completion of the bridge by the Munter Construction Con- pany was delayed because of the slow delivery of steel and con- struction difficulties that ensued after freeze-up last fall.
 Elimination of the rough, down hill detour was the second i'm provement enjoyed by motorists recently in the 49-mile paved stretch between Palmer and An chorage. A few days earlier mo- torists were surprised to miss the stop stations at both highway boundaries of the military reser. vation. These stations have beer moved to side roads leading into Fort Richardson and Elmendor. Air Force Base, leaving the high. way open to uninterrupted traffic

FIREWORKS WIN BY DEFAULT IN PALMER

Because only four of the Coun- cilmen and the mayor were pres ent at the City Council last night, Palmer youngsters can shoot off firecrackers, rockets, and other fireworks to their hearts content in celebration of the Fourth of July.
 Occupied with many important city matters, the annual holiday crept up on the Councilmen with out their recognition of its tradi- tional-but dangerous-implica- tions. Only this week when com plaints came in about fireworks being sold in town did they real ize that they had no ordinance to prohibit the sale or use of fire works within the city limits. In the absence of such an ordinance a license had already been issued for the exclusive purpose of sell ing fireworks.
 Hurriedly, City Attorney Harold Butcher was asked to draft an or dinance prohibiting use of fire works in Palmer. However, the necessary five Councilmen need ed for an emergency adoption were lacking; therefore, it wasn't adopted.

 Operations in Palmer

Just few hours after the early dawn of Tuesday, July l, a new Palmer business started in opera ton as four -20-ton trucks loaded with coal from the Evans-Jones coal mine started out in their first haul to Fort Richardson and Elmendort Air Force Base.

They will be parked behind Kirk's Sales and Service in a especial parking lot built last week.
 The trucks will be operated on two-shift basis by eight drivers. Six of these drivers are from Seattle. They ferried the trucks over the highway to Palmer and as a result of their satisfactory handling of the trucks were of- fered employment for the trucks regular runs.

Hearing Tuesday on Salmon Fishing Ban
LOCAL PERSONAL USE FISHING MOVEMENTS URGED TO ATTEND

A puOAS IlSdI lIlS ndS been scheduled for Tuesday night, July 8 at 7:30 pm. in the Valley Theatre for a general discussion of personal use fishing, it was an- nounced this week by Holgar Larson of the Fish and Wildlife.
 This will be an open meeting. Larson pointed out and followed with the request that everyone interested in the new regulation turn out for this meeting. He suggested persons objecting to the present ruling come prepared to present their views on the con- troversial subject.
 Larson will conduct the meet ing, assisted by Tom Costello of the fisheries management who will have statistics prepared for presentation. Larson will repre- sent the law enforcement side of the discussion.
 All persons interested in per- sonal use fishing in this area are urged to attend the meeting.
 Members of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen club will have strong representation at the meeting, it was planned at their meeting held July 2. Clair Stock, Roy Brock, John Bush, Glenn Woods and Harold Winegarner were appointed as a committee to draw up suggestions and recom- mendation to be presented at the meeting along with the resolution sent to FWS, Secretary Of Interi- or Oscar Chapman and Delegate Bartlett, protesting the ban on personal use fishing.
 In a communication received from Delegate Bartlett and read at the meeting, members of the club were informed that the new regulation was designed to pre- vent commercial fishermen from taking fish during closed hours. AS an illustration Ken WeStenbar- ger, club president pointed out that commercial fishermen could, after closed hours, continue to fish and claim the catch as per sonal use fish" Held until an open day, the fish could then be sold along with the commercial catch. Enforcement of the new regulation would prevent such an abuse but would also prevent fish ing for personal use in this area.
 Numerous suggestions from the membership will be taken to the open meeting by the committee.
 Dr. Herbert C. Hanson, guest at the meeting opined that even- tually there will have to be catch limit placed on home sal mon fishing in the Territory.
