and from his favorite chair
watched the boats go up and

Members were so used to
Penny sitting in his chair by
the door to greet them that they
said, Hello, Penny" even when

Ed Fortier, Third Division CO., ordinator for Civil Defense told those attending the CD meeting December IT that communication equipment is on order for the Palmer CD organization and in- cludes walkie-talkie sets, light plant and a radio transmitter. The equipment is valued at ap- proximately $3,200 and is ex- pected to be delivered sometime around April.
 Present at the meeting were several Butte area residents who voiced their interest in the for nation of a CD organization in their region. Following quite lengthy discussions, the men de- cided they would affiliate with the Palmer area group, and a motion from the Palmer group to adopt a district-area plan was passed.
 The area will be known as the Greater Palmer Area and will in- clude Palmer, Butte, Sutton and Wasilla. Each community will have it's own organization but under the central control of the Created Palmer area director, Rev. Edward Imme.
 Pat Carter of Wasilla was ap- pointed director of that area; Bill Eldridge director of the Butte area and director for the Sut- ton area will be appointed as soon as possible.
 Vernon Haik ,distirct director in the Chugiak area, was also present at the meeting and ex- plained many of the develop ments in that area He told those attending how the organization in Chugiak has grown to it's pres ent strength; their ability in get ting telephone communication in- stalled along the highway and to remote regions; the blood typing program planned for three days of this week and how they were able to accomplish so much, giv- ing much credit to the Army who have assisted the program in many ways whenever possible.
 It was pointed out at the meet
