l0eAL SKI CLUB COMPLETES row.; INVITES MEMBERSHIP

Members of the Matanuska Ski Club have announced the com p1etion of their ski tow, located at Little Susitna.
 In official operation for the first time this past Sunday, users reported it was wonderful to no longer have to make the long climb back up the slopes.
 The announcement follows the work and plans of nearly two years by the still "very young club. Formed in the early spring ot 1850 as the Matanuska Outing Club, the name was changed when It became apparent that the prin- cipal activity of the group was skiing. The club has progressed and expanded as rapidly as finan- ces would permit. Early this sum- mer the ski tow equipment To- cated at Sheep Mountain Lodge was purchased from Al and Vir- glnla Johnson and moved from there to the clubs site at Susitna, approximately a mile and one half above Little Susitna Lodge.
 The use of the tow and hill rules have been established by the club. Anticipating large re- sponse to the announcement, the club has already started work on a 600 foot extension to the tow, that will make total of 1900 feet, one of the longer tows in the area. Tentative plans for a ski chalet to be built by the club sometime in the future are being discussed.
 Skiers, and non-skiers are re- minded that the club is open to membership and invites paIticipa- tion by anyone interested. Four free ski lessons will be given to all new members of the club by professional ski instructors. These classes will be conducted at the tow site and will include begin ners and advance lessons as we'll as proper use of the ski tow and hill courtesy.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES

I have been sounding off about the winter wind for years. I've contributed my share to it's vol tune. The last few days we have had a sample of our annual blow. We never miss it-every winter we get our share of soil erod- ing wind.
 This year may be particularly bad We have no snow cover on the ground to furnish even partial protection. Even without snow cover, however, windbreaks fur nish good protection. You can identify eroded areas by the smooth, fattened look fields as sume, the disappearance of fall tillage marks, and the collection of dirt behind piles of crop resi- due left in the field. Walk over your field and look for them. See how far out from your present Windbreaks the protected area ex- tends. That will give you a pretty good idea how far out from a Windbreak you can afford to plant row crops.
 Due to our topography, the di- rection and intensity of the wind varies. You on the farm are bet ter qualified than anyone else to mark the location of necessary windbreaks. Mark them now. Then you will know where they should be when you start plant ing them next spring.
 Windbreaks are easy to start. Just leave strip uncultivated, blow in a line of cottonwood and willow brush next spring, and you are in business. Nature will take care of most of the planting Look at your old fence rows if you don't believe it. When you get that shelter started, plant some strawberries, respberries and cur rants on tn lee side. That way you can keep your wife happy too.

Northern Lights
 Described by Doctor

Dr. Sydney Chapman, interna- tionally known physicist from Queens College, Oxford, England, and advisory scientific director of the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, capti- vated his audience at a recent Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce meeting with his discussion of the aurora phenomena in down-to- earth terms.
 Source of Light
 The aurora, or northern lights is not like a rainbow, he said, but a definite source of light. This has been determined by photographs with star backgrounds which def initely locate the thin sheets of light about 60 miles above the sur face. They can be seen within 1500mile diameter and are most frequently observed in magnet ized area at the ends of magnetic axes of the earth.
 The thickness of these sheets of light have not yet been determin- ed but the brightness appears the same at all distances, he pointed out.
 The aurora borealiS centers in northwest Greenland and aurora australis center is at point in the Antarctic south and west of Aus tralia. The lights are seldom ob- served from the southern tip of South America or in the tropics.
 Types of Lights
 Dr. Chapman said that there are the two types of aurora-the arc, which might be part of a circle, and the corona in which lines seem to converge at the zenith the sky. How they appear is matter of perspective.
 Regarding the question of whe- ther or not the lights make sounds, there are differences of opinion. He would not deny it, he said, but tape recording of the sounds if they exist, would be in 
 Magnetic Storms
 The phenomenon is connected with magnetic storms which upset cable and radio communications and have been known to even put put large power systems.
 An analysis of their spectrum shows that they are caused by atomic hydrogen nitrogen and oxygen gases from the sun travel ng from the sun into the earth's atmosphere. They travel more slowly than light and take a day o make the trip. These electric charges are subject to deflection md are speeded up when they contact the atmosphere down to about 60 miles above the surface.
 It will be some time before the aurora is completely understood le concluded.

Defends Planes
Sales ToArubs

LONDON (JTA) - The British
Governments decision to supply
the Arab states with jet planes is
consistent with the tripartite de-
claration enunciation May 25,
1850 Lord Reading, Under Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, told the
House of Lords.
Lord Reading insisted that the
British policy of delivering arms
to the Middle East, including
Egypt, was in line with the Brit
ish-F'rench American declaration
guaranteeing the borders of Is
rael and the Arab states against
aggression. The declaration, he
said, recognized the need of the
Arab states and Israel to main
tain a certain level of armed for
ces for internal security, for legi-
innate self-defense and to enable
them to play their part in the de-
fenSe of the entire Middle East
area.
Lord Reading declared that the
aircraft in question were jet
fighters, which he called essenti-
ally defensive weapons. He add
ed that the number of planes sup
piled the Middle East states or
promised for early delivery was
small"

ManeuVer 10 Settle
Tax Dispute Fails 10
Buoy House 6. 0. P.
By Robert K. Walsh

House Republican smiles Of
victory-or sighs of relief-at an
adjustment" for continuing the
excess profits tax without snub-
bing the Ways and Means Com
mittee failed to Danish a few ap-
prehensive frownS today.
Leaders claimed a decisive
score for President Eisenhower
over Committee Chairman Reed.
They maneuvered it in q literally
11th hour huddle that mapped
out a convincing compromise
and thus prevented a verbal
slugfest on the House floor yes
terday.
Reluctant to risk possible de-
feat and inevitable bitterness by
pushing a Rules Committee reso-
luton to. bypass the Ways and
Means Committee. they avoided
q showdown vote. They pinned
their faith on signs that the
latter committee soon would re-
port out an extension bill. If
the committee delays too long
or refuses to act, the bypass
resolution could still be used.
but leaders declared this would
not be necessary. ...
The excess profits tax on ap-
proximately $4,000 corporations
expires at midnight tonight. It
could be made retroactive if re-
enacted later to raise an ad-
ditional $500 million.
Reed Not Placated.
Yet. the COP. JOY was in
complete today. Mr. Reed insisted
unsuccessfully yesterday, "as a
matter Of principle and congress.
sional practice" that the bypass
resolution be voted on and de-
feated because it would hang as
. Sword Of DamocleS" over
his committee. He served notice
he will continue to fight against
. bill for continuing the tax
until December 81, as urged by
the President.
