agreed to an American admiral
as supreme commander in the
Atlantic only in the interests OF
unity. He spoke in the House of
Commons a few hours after

Mr.. Churchill said he saw no
need for the appointment, but
was confronted with the agree

asserted: +
II think the method adopted

U. s. fight against narcotics to To come to the regular Kiwanis luncheon next Monday at the Coop Club Room and hear ?. C Greer U S Treasury Department agent in charge Of narcotics in. "estigations in this area.
 at their meeting last Monda, kiwanians had round table discussion on better citizenship. They asked themselves what they could do as a club toward getting good representatives of the people m government. StresSing the fact that individual citizens make up the government, they went on re- cord as backing every persons $ right to vote, missing that each citizen should take advantage of this privilege and get out to vote in every election.
 The advantage of periodic round table discussions with all civic groups in Palmer to air local issues of importance was also brought out.
 President Smith named Jim Hurley and Charles Wilson as members of the door committee for the Beta Sigma Phi March of Dimes dance, with which the Xii Wanis club is assisting. All KiWa- nians will help in the ticket sales. Assigned to the cleanup job the morning after are H. J. Hodgson. Dr. Allen Mick, Dr. Donald Coe, Hugh Johnson, Charles Wilson. and Ed Smith.

Perhaps |, was natural that snow-bound car owners would be envious when they saw Mayor Carl Meters business pro- perty being cleared of snow ,e that his trucks could get out with their loads Of oil to people in des- perate need. It could also be ex- pected that local U aes would give the city clearing crew the credit for according the mayor this preferential service"
 But ii aint SO, said V. W. Martin of Westside Service. The mayor hired Ed Christiansen on his own to get his property clear ed so his trucks could deliver oil l know because I tried to hire Ed to clear us out, too"
 Without a doubt the overwork- ed mayor can take such thought less humor in his stride, but just in case his customers oil troubles have given him an extra dose of frazzled nerves, it's only fair to set the record straight.

First Semester Ends With % on Honor Roll, Grades T.l2

School was to session just long enough Thursday for distribution Of report cards. Then the winds that sent students scurrying for home al noon allowed them plenty of time over the enforced four-day holiday to null over their scholastic averages for the first half of the school year.
 The seniors had the highest percentage of their number on the high school honor roll for the third six-week period. Out of an enrolment of l9, five students in- cluding Wesley Eckert Gus klem, Dolores Lentz, Ernest Martin, and Rita McClafferty, up held the senior prestige.
 Mary Colberg, Margaret Cope, Robert Hartman, Geraldine Kind gren, and Mary Ann Mears were the juniors on the honor roll. With an enrolment of 30, their average as class was behind the twelfth graders.
 On the Sophomore honor roll were Dorothy Hoffman, Nicola Sandvik, Virginia Boulter, Don- na Harris, Ralph Kircher, and Jean McMahan. These six stu dents represent only l2.8 percent of their class.
 Only four of the 48 Freshmen made the honor roll this time. They were Jean Burke, Howard Esslinger, Carol Wood, and Carol Colberg.
 For the first time this year a seventh and eighth grade honor roll was released. This honor roll also carried on the trend ob- served in the upper grades: The lower the grade, the fewer on the honor roll. Seventh and eighth graders had to have a straight 2.5 average to get on the honor roll, and that's roughly half As and half B's.
 Out of grade 8a with enroll ment of 31, three persons made the high average: Carol Berry, Jerene Stephan, and Jennetta Lindsey. Arlene Foort was the only one out of 28 8b students who made the grade. Out of two seventh grade enrollments total ing A, Rosann Branton of b was the sole representative on the honor roll.

MOOSE COUNT TAKEN; FWS TO START SHEEP CHECK AT MCKINNEY

Bob Burkholder, local preda- tory control agent. Buck Harris of the Anchorage Fish and Wild life office. Dave Spencer, Kenai refuge supervisor and Jim Peter son. assistant refuge manager re- gently completed a moose count on the Kenai game refuge. The count has been taken the past two years and acts as medium for establishing abundance or decline of the moose.
 Burkholder stated that eViden- ces indicate a slight increase over last years count. The seasons kill on the penisula was consider ed very light. Climatic conditions were believed to have held the kill down and may account par tially for the apparent increase in the game refuge, he said.
 During the count, the FWS men accounted for 12 coyotes, shot by the agents from the FWS plane piloted by Harris.
 Burkholder left this week for Mckinley Park where a count on 800 sheep will be made with en- phasis on sex ratio. Following this count a comparison count will be attempted on the other side of the Nannana river where the sheep were heavily hunted. The Wildlife service hopes to dis cover what hunting pressure ac- complished in that area.

Local Federal Credit Union 10 Hold Annual Meeting Tuesday

The annual meeting of the Mat anuska Valley Federal Credit Union will be held at 8 D. m, Tuesday evening, January 29 at Recreational Hall.
 Members will be asked to de- eide the annual dividend to be granted this year and to elect new officers. Following the business meeting entertainment and re- treatments will be provided.
 The local credit union was or ganized two and one half years ago. The present active voting membership consists of 36 Valley people. All people in the Mata- nuska Valley are eligible to join. The yearly dues are only 25 cents. The union is an association of members who invest their savings and are eligible for loans at one percent interest per month on the unpaid balance. Although the present capitalization is only $7'000, the union has made over S23,000 in loans since the organi- zation began. Last year members were given a five percent divi- dend on the amounts they had invested.
 Jack Newcomb, credit union secretary, stressed the fact that the union is subject to federal re- gulations which govern its oper- ation. Under these regulations, loans are limited to 10 percent of the capitalization, which would be a maximum of $700 at the present time. With a gradual in crease in membership and capi- talization, the association hopes that larger loans will be available to members in the near future.
