FIVE LOCAL GROWERS CHOSEN TO INCREASE NEW POTATO VARIETY

Five local potato growers were selected last Saturday at the meeting of the Certified Seed Growers Association to grow for increase new potato variety b., ing introduced by the Horticul- ture Department of the Alaska Experiment Station.
 The new potato variety has not been named yet but is identified for research purposes as 57-44.
 The variety has been tested for four years by horticulturists at the Experiment Station and has consistently outyielded any com mercial variety or any seed stocks grown in Alaska. Each of ''le five growers chosen were given 800 pounds of 57-44 seed to grow for increase as founda- ton stock. Next year the founda- ton stock of the new variety will be grown by several growers in the Valley for certified stock, which will then be made avail able to potato growers through out Alaska for 1854 production.
 Chosen by the potato growers on the basis of willingness to CO., operate and abide by the stan dards and rules of the Certified Seed Growers Association were Loren Wiederkehr, Joe Gislason. Carl Fritzler, R. F. Davis, and E. J. Blorn. In case any of these five are unable to grow the seed, the following alternates were also chosen by the growers present at the Saturday meeting: Harold Dinkel, Rex Kibbe, D. Callison, and Harold Harris.
 Irving Abbott, secretary of the Certified Seed Growers Assn. told the potato growers about the new variety and put up to them the possibility of accepting re- sponsibility for the increase. About 25 potato growers were present at the meeting.
 Dr. Curtis Dearborn outlined the history of the new variety tt the growers and answered ques- tions concerning cooking quail ities, tonnage, and shape of tuber.
 Dr. Donald Coe, Experiment Station plant pathologist. out lined the requirements for disin- fecting equipment and storage in order to safeguard the health of the new potato.

PARKING PROBLEMS AIRED AT C OF C MEET


 came up for another airing yes terday at the regular Chambc. of Commerce meeting.
 The twelve members present agreed that the problem Is an acute one and demanding of i'm. mediate attention. Betty MearS pointed out that the City Plan ming Commission had made defin- ite recommendations regarding parking to the City Council over three months ago. Roy Brock in sisted that this problem was something that should be active consideration of the Chamber in as much as the business men were mostly affected by it. At present he said. almost all the parking space is taken up by cars be- longing to the businessmen them selves and their employees. If en- ployers insist that their employees not park in front of their business establishment, the employees-- and the manager-park in front of a neighboring business. Then the neighboring employees and businessmen retalEate and the customer is still left without q parking place. Brock said that the problem could be solved if 4ll businessmen got together and agreed that their cars and tho2c of their employers would not Dc parked on the main business streets. Chamber members de- cided that they would look into Hle planning commissions re- commentators (to see if they agreed with them) before taking luther action.
 Dues remain at SIP
 It was another no-quorum seS- sion for the Chamber in spite of the reported raising of dues from SIP to SIS and $36. This report was erroneous. President o. k. Kincaid pointed out. Although last weeks vote was six to five in favor of the raise in dues, thH majority was not sufficient. The bylaws provide that twothird majority is necessary for such ac- ton. It was decided after dis cussion that no further move would be made to raise the du"s this year but that study would be made on a scale of dues propoT- donate to the size of given busi- ness. The resulting proposal vii be voted on for adoption next year. Everyone was agreed that the Chamber needed more money for it's sponsored activities, but some of the smaller businesses had objected to paying the same fee as the larger ones in support of activities that would not ac- ,ure to their benefit.
 Dearth of Interest
 The discussion turned into a wake for Chamber that was dy~ ing for lack of participation and interest of it's members. Brock and L. C. Stock insisted that the Chamber should be a vital organ izati0n with all members pulling for Palmer and attracting new business to the town. Stock salo they should try to get more con vcntjons here-ljke the Extension Service conference now Tn prog .cs. The old question of Iocatln3 the proposed psychiatric hospital near Palmer was brought up m connection with this desire 10 bring new business to the town. Hearings on a bill to provide ap- oropriations for such a hospital m Alaska have been going on in Washington during the past lew weeks. It was apparent from dls- cussion, however, that preJudice against connecting the fair name of Palmer with such an lnstltu- ton still shoulders and mlght not be quenched even with the possible flow of dollars its loca- ton here could entail.

county will gather at one big,
beautiful Fourth of July party.
HostesseS are the two we'll
known attractive sisters.
"Bluey" Smith and Franny
Crawford. who, having been
divorced and widowed, live to-
gether with their offspring in
their Virginia showplace, Fair
field.
The two sisters have divided
the 200-year greystone
house in half to provide sepa-
rate quarters for their two fam.
lilies, but it is essentially the
same as when Warner WASH
ington lived in it in the latter
part of the 18th century. This
is one of the fine examples Of
18th century architecture pic
tured in the late Tom Water
mans book, Mansions Of Vir-
ginia."
The July 4th party is an an
nual affair but only last year
did 1t grow to its county-wise
proportions. Bluey and Franny
invite about everybody they
know and tell them to bring
their children no matter how
small. It begins at 3 and ends
at 10:30 and includes every
thing from potato races and q
