Southerners
Organize To Fight
D. {. Home Rule

Washington, ID. Southern So
Ions are organizing a bloc in the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives TO oppose legislation giving
the District of Columbia home rule
because they fear that it might
lead to a breakdown of certain
segregation laws now in effect i'm
the nations capitol.
The proposed bill would allow
residents of Washington to elect a
10 man city council. Southern So
Ions realizing that Negroes COM
prise one third of Washington's
population would be able to select
members of the council who could
outlaw and abolish segregation
laws in the city.
Senator Richard B. Russell lead
er of the Southern group stated
that they are also fighting pro-
posed Legislation designed to limit
debate on bills brought to the floor
OF the Senate. This would prevent
filibuster on civil rights measures
scheduled to come up for considera-
ton IN this session.

Because cf bad flying conditions,
President c. E. Friley, of Iowa
State College was unable to fill
his engagement as the main speak
er. In his place, DR.. Arthur F.

Mr.. Paul Y. Maris, (retired), farm
ownership expert with the Farm

deeply moving accounts of the
kinds of changes being made in
the agriculture of the South today
and pointed out the many adjust
ments that must be made by farm
ers and farm families, in order to
make these, changes most effective.
This event was started by Book

to raise The standards of farming

Rasch, "but three department heads

NOTES FROM YOUR EXTENSION SERVICE
By Richard Blue

Most potato growers in the Val ley are either starting or in the middle of their harvesting oper- ations. The memory of last years early freeze of some 90 odd acres, probably spurs the diggers to wind up little earlier. Several light frosts have nipped back top growth on most farms so there is no temptations to try to get a little extra growth.
 Last Sunday local dairymen running stock on the Susitna range beat the bushes to roundup their stock. This ranging program has been watched with great in- terest by all stockmen.
 In the absence of known facts, many theories, rumors and specu- lations developed.
 Several of the more common arguments were that the cattle would escape the natural range barriers and wander all over the country. In support of this theory, was the rumor that myself and Linnus DePriest, the station in- seminator, had herded some 34 head of stock back into the range. I will state now for the record that this rumor is not based on fact. L. M. DePriest and myself investigated a report that cattle were off the range and found sign and other evidence that several head were indeed out of range. We also learned that someone had dumped a load of cattle outside the range before the range was stocked. It is my belief that this small band of cattle in the course of their rather wide travels have been responsible for the leaky range stories.
 As matter of fact all the cat tie placed on the range were talk en out Sunday with the excep- ton of five or six head belonging to Vic Falk, Sr. and one head of Harold Thuma's. These cattle were spotted however and are scheduled to be picked up this Sunday.
 Another adverse theory not proved by roundup results was the ability of the range to keep cattle in shape. Most stockmen were pleased with the condition of their cattle.

New School Serves l2 Pupils In ChickaIoon Area

Children in the Chickaloon area are getting a chance to go to school this fall for the first time Tn many years.
 A new, attractive log school house being built by Eston Hub bard will be completed within a month. In the meantime, F pupils in the area are having classes in a vacant house belonging to John Shaganoff. A missionary group, ,ognizant of the need for a school in the Chickaloon area, is provid- ing the one-room school, which will also serve as a chapel on Sundays. The school and chapel form one end of the long build ing, while the other end will be the Hubbard family's residence.
 Although the building is fur nished by the missionary group, the school administration is under the Territorial Department of Education. The teacher and all education materials are furnished by the Territory. John Arneson has been appointed as teacher in the new school.
 At the present time, transporta- ton to the school is by foot; five of the children travel three-miles to and from school over a noun tain road. The three Lester chill dren and perhaps the two others who live on this road plan dog sled transportation as soon as snow falls.
 In the early '4Os a school was operated for a few months in the 1hickaloon area, but it was closed down with the beginning of World War II.

Lights Shine ut Goat Creek, KniI<; Big Lake Could be Next

MEA power has been extend ed this summer to the Goat Creek area, beyond Knik, and into the Lake Lucille area, MEA Manager c. A. Brewer reported this week.
 Of 20 consumers in the Goat Creek area added to the MEA membership list, all but five are hooked up. Of the five, some are waiting for wire and some aren't ready to be hooked up. Out Knik way, the lines have been extend ed beyond the village, and 18 new customers are reading by electric lights and acquiring new electrical appliances. The MEA line crew is now working in the Lake Lucille area.
 Brewer said that there are 30- 40 potential users in the Big Lake area, many of whom have ex- pressed interest in having power extended out that way. Only three, however, have actually signed up. He said that MEA would have to have at least 2030 sign-ups before the planning could be begun on a Big Lake eX- tension. He advised potential GUS toners in that area that there is necessarily about a years lag be- tween planning and installation. These potential customers do not have to advance money for in- stallation; to make an application they merely pay the five dollar membership fee.
 The possibility of near-future development Of the Big Lake area took a big step forward this fall when no small tracts offered by the Bureau of Land Management were grabbed up by eligible World War II Veterans.
