CITY STREETS GET VERBAL DRUBBING AT COUNCIL MEETING

Three visitors to the City Coun- cil and letter from a local real tor read at last nights meeting focused attention on city streets in spite of the dusty" descrip- tions that had at least one of them hidden completely from view.
 Jim Morgan of North Palmer entered a complaint about the road of uncertain name that marks the city's northern boun- dary as it extends from the high way near the foot of Bailey Hill and eastward across the railroad tracts to the Sherrod farm. Des- cribing the road as good enough to encourage speeding, he added that resulting dust created a haz- gard dangerous to both drivers and pedestrians. After each pass ing car, he said, a driver had to wait five minutes for the dust to settle enough to make the road visible. He asked that the street be graveled. He and Norris Ross later objected to the limiting of street maintenance to a few main streets in the city. Mayor Carl Meier explained that lack of a loader had held up graveling of the streets all over town. He said a loader would be available short ly on loan basis. Ross complain ed bitterly that care of the roads was neglected when (privately- owned) equipment for graveling was available. Contemptuously he described the back-and-forth watering of city streets as useless. He didn't think much of the con- tinued scraping of the main streets either.
 A letter from William Rempel of Palmer Realty called attention to the need for extending roads into subdivisions where some homes have already been erected and where many lots have been sold recently. Specifically, he ask ed for the dozing out of Wolver- inc Avenue and Knik Street in the Smith subdivision to pro- vide access to- those streets. He didn't ask for a graded street just few sWipes with bulldozer.
 Later in the evening Council man Chet Sandvik asked for ac- tion on these complaints. A heated discussion arose regarding effec- tiveness of present street main tenance, although everyone ad- mitted that Russ Felzien had worked zealously in performance of his duties. Disagreement con- cerned the direction given the street department by the Council street committee. On the one hand were arguments that the city couldn't give special atten- tion to one new" street when there are many streets of long standing that are still series of mudholes whenever it rains. Sandvik insisted that people have a right to complain and that the Council should do something about complaints. The city's new equipment, he said is merely be- ing used to wear down stones and also the blades. Councilman SevernS insisted that roads should be graded at the sides to extend them to proper width and make snow removal easier later on: Councilman Mick wondered if 1t was the usual practice for realtors to lay out subdivisions, make their money from lot sales, and then ask the city to bear the expense of building up the subdivision, i.e., establishing the access streets. In the new city of Palmer, there was no precedent.
 In the end the whole matter of street maintenance was left to the discretion of the street committee Mayor Meier and Steve Ward.

Sunday Mass for a period of one

all meetings, it is the leader who
presideS. No group has more than
80 individual members and the
leader has the duty to visit each

he establishes the necessary con
facts with welfare agencies or with

ties are much like those of the dea-
cons in the early Church.
To sparkplug such q movement,

.Aborigines Move
To New Mission
Post In Australia

DARWIN, Australia ~- (NC) 49,
A new mission for aborigines, in.
volving the transfer of an entire
native tribe from one region TO
another, has been founded in Cen
trail Australia.
The outpost is conducted by the
Missionaries of the Sacred Heart,
whose headquarters in this part
of Australia are at Darwin under
Bishop John Patrick O'Loughlin,
MISC.
The mission will accommodate
the East Arunta tribe, which is
predominantly Catholic, and
which previously occupied the Arl-
tunga mission. which has been
abandoned. Arltunga was never a
completely suitable mission site,
being rocky and barren. The new
mission land is much more fertile,
including excellent pastoral coun-
try within a circle of high hills.
The men In the aborigines mis-
sions do casual labor as stockmen
and workers in cattle stations.
Schools are provided for the chill
dren and the old people live per
manently at the mission station.
Young sborigines, when they
leave the mission school, are train
ed in stock work, saddlery, fencing
and running pumps and windmills.
Employment also is provided in
orchards and gardens. The gen
eral aim is TO make them as self
contained and self-supporting as
possible.

There are three answers to
this dilemma of how to bring
the Divinity of Christianity to
Eastern peoples.
The first way is to educate ma
tive priests, Brothers and Sis
ters. Communism prospers in
China, India. Hungary and Po-
land by making the natives Com
munists and thus creating the
illusion that Communism is
natural to their culture. The
American people would not be
satisfied if most of their bishops
and clergy came from q foreign
country; the Eastern people are
entitled to share the same senti-
ments. Hence let the Church in
Africa be governed by Africans,
the Church in Japan by Japa-
nese, etc. Some progress in this
direction is being made. In Afri-
ca today there are 1900 native
seminarians in A major semi
