NINE YOUNG BOYS CAUSE DAMAGES AT LUMBER YARD

A group of Valley youngsters found themselves in trouble this weekend when they were dis coverd with property that had disappeared from Ketchikan Spruce Mill yard. The nine boys involved were of two age groups; first and second graders and boys from 10 to 13 years old.
 Approximately 50 pounds of wire fence staples and 20 pounds of nails were taken from the lum- Der yard, and around $100 worth of damages were done to insula- ton stored at the yard and sever al light bulbs broken.
 The staples were thrown

VALLEY LEADS ALASKA IN RECORD SPUD CROP

Alaska farmers have complet- ed harvesting the largest potato crop ever produced in the Ter ritory, according to the Alaska Department of Agriculture, who with Dick Andrews of the Ex- pertinent Station staff has com pleted preliminary production survey of the railbelt area.
 According to the report, Mat anuska Valley growers produced 6,100 tons of potatoes. Anchor age growers 900 tons and the Panama Valley growers, 2,50O tons for total of $500 tons.
 Military contracts over the ter ritory call for $500 tons of ad- ditional small contracts may be expected later in the season.
 Movement of potatoes on the Anchorage market has been quite satisfactory and can be expected to increase as the season progress ses, officials stated.
 Potato quality this year is bet ter than average, they found and more growers are prepackaging in small bags, branded U. s. No. 1. The quality of the local pack is generally very good, the De- partment announced.

MEN REPORT SIGHTING STRANGE LIGHTS

Strange objects? Lights that behaved very strangely, at least. These were seen this morning by three local men while eating breakfast at their home near Bailey Hill.
 Tom Egaas, Ed Mckay and Marvin Briggs sighted two lights at about 7:1O this morn- ing that at first appeared to be vehicle lights coming down the mountains located just be- yond Pioneer Peak. When first seen they appeared to be to- gether the men stated. During the next Is minutes they nov ed together and then apart in various directions, finally dis appearing behind the moun- tain range. The men stated that the lights were occuIat- ing and timed them at five second intervals. Although the
 sun had risen at that time,
 there was none shining on the
 mountain and the lights ap-
 peared to be golden in color.
 The speculation was advanced
 this noon that possibly air
 craft flying in the region had
 picked up the sun reflections.
 The matter was reported to
 the 10th Air Rescue at Elmen-
 dorf Air Force Base in An
 chorage.

Members of the Palmer city council set Saturday, October 24 as the final date for mak- ing the transfer from the Co., Op water system to the new city system.
 In announcing the deadline, members pointed out that it is for the water users protection to make the change over be- fore freeze up. The city's new water line is nearly complete, with the contractor doing final cleanup work this week.

WATER METERS MUST BE HORIZONTAL

All shut off valves on city water meters must be install ed level and in a horizontal position, Russ Felzien, chair man of the water and sewer committee announced this week.
 The meters will not operate property if placed in any other position, he pointed out. Correct installation will avoid future expenses on change overs, he added.

B OF R OFFICIALS OM HAND FOR
 IMPORTANT EVENT

A momentouS occasion occurred thls morning at 1:49 am. when drlllers of the Palmer Constr11c- tors holed through the approxi- mately 4.6-mile long tunnel bor- Ing through Goat Mountain, in the Chugach range, to Eklutna Lake where the multimillion dol lar Eklutna hydroelectric project is being developed under the di- rectlon of the department of in- trior, bureau of reclamation
 L. F. Wiley. project engin-
 ger, said this morning the fun
 nel heads lined up within one
 half inch of each other when
 the final hole-through was
 made.
 Palmer Constructors is. firm made up of three construction companies Coker Construction. Morrlson-Knutsen and Pete keIWItz and Sons. Al Coker is project manager and Al Aiken general superintendent of con- struction. Other than the water pocket sruck by workers on No vember T. 1852, when a spectacu- lar waterfall was created. tunnel workers have had very little trouble.
 Project Engineer Wiley's pro- phecy last May when tunnel workers set record of over g. OOO feet in one month, hit right on time. When the record was set Wiley stated that at the rate the tunnel driving was progressing. hey may even hole through by November.
 On hand for the holing- through were Chief Engineer l.. N. Me Clellan, and Chief Construction Engineer Grant Bloodgood from the Bureaus Denver office and J. M. Morgan, district manager and Robert Jennings who will soon be replacing Morgan as dis trlct manager.
 The average elevation of the tunnel is around 750 feet above sea level, approximately one mile below the crest of Goat Noun tain. The l1-foot wide tunnel will be reinforced with concrete, re- ducing the diameter to nine feet when completed. The concrete work will start from the south end, officials stated this week. Approximately 26 thousand cubic yards of concrete will be requir- ed to complete the reinforce ment, they speculated, and will be carried via tramway to the working area from a concrete bulk plant.
 Power from the completed hydroelectric project is expected to be ready for delivery around January, 1855. This development will benefit residents of the An chorage and Matanuska Valley regions by alleviating the pres ent power supply by 30,0O0 kva of electric power which will be brought here and transmitted to the Anchorage area over trans mission lines.
 Palmer Constructors will host a holethrough party tomorrow night for their personnel and guests and members of the Bu- reau of Reclamation staff and their guests. A buffet dinner, followed by dancing, will be held in the Palmer School gym.

together, and the moment had come.
Whether she liked it or not, she had
to attack them, she had to make the
plunge "a plunge into the past.
For it was the past that those
boxes contained. Family photo
graphs, picture postcards, news
paper clippings, a bunch of artificial
flowers which Mother wore on her
evening dress - the one she had
made many years ago when Father
took her to the civil servants ball in
the capital. And letters, hundreds of
them, which Mothe. used to receive
from her old school friends; and the
letters which Grandma used to write
three or four times a year: and the
letters which Father used to write to
her during their courtship. all neatly
arranged and tied in pink ribbons.
And Zora's and Annals school re-
ports and the candle which Anna
bought for her first communion and
the first tooth Fora lost when she was
five. ;. All sorts of souvenirs: ugly
ashtrays from Venice, a framed pic
ture of the Virgin which Mother
brought from Lourdes, a cheap mar
bic statuette of Cupid and Psyche
- probably somebody's wedding
present which the parents did not
like but could not part with, and
Fathers army cap from the first
war. All the junk which one keeps
for the take of memories which cling
to it, all the junk which has no home
except in the heart of its owner.

Fora opened another box. 1t was
the box in which her mother used to
keep all kinds of ornamental bits
and pieces to be hung on the family
Christmas tree. The large silver star,
little glass bells, gold painted candle,
holders, long. glistening silver chains,
yards and yards of them. Fora let
them run through her fingers, Ca
ressed them fondly with the palm Of
her hand.
AND suddenly she saw the Christ
mas tree. the silver star on top. the
long chains glittering in candlelight.
The glowing Christmas tree with two
little girls standing underneath it
and holding Daddy's and Mummy's
: hands. Two little girls, a little fright
ened but enchanted and 50 happy.
Was it the strain of the past few
days or the heat IN the court
room or the boxes with the family
relics? Fora did not know. All she
knew was that she had to speak. she
had to or she would choke. She
stood up, faced her sister.
How could you!" she said. How
could you'll"
How could / WHAT" Anna asked,
bent over a suitcase. But then she
looked up and saw her sisters face.
What - what do you mean?"
You devil" Fora cried. How
could you do this to them? How
could you do this to all of us? You
are not human, you you. :. Did
you see Mummy's face this morn
ing? Did you see her expression?
You and your Party!"
Shut up, you fool!'' Anna said
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-15

menacingly. What is the matter
with you? Will you shut up?"
II will not shut up, l won't! Do
you think / don't know why you did
it? 1t was yOM who denounced them,
you and your Karel! You wanted
another good mark on your Party
record. And you wanted to get them
out of the apartment, 50 that Karel
could move in. ;. You devil! You
shameless devil"
Anna came swiftly to her sister
and slapped her across the face. She
slapped her hard, again and again.
Fora stopped shouting. She stood
still, holding her face in her hands,
still clutching one end of the long
silver chair vlnch lay on the floor
like a glistening serpent. In a mo-
ment she let the chain drop. She
gave a dry sob, turned round and
rushed out. Out of the apartment,
out of the house. down the street.
SHE did not know how long she had
been wandering through the streets.
One hour - two. three? She was in
the factory district now, walking be-
side a high brick wall. Someone had
written his name on it, someone else
drew a heart pierced by an arrow.
Fora stopped and looked around.
She saw a lump of coal. She picked
it up and started drawing a letter, a
large letter 'E." ''E" for Europe.
"E" for Eisenhower. ''E" for her
fathers convict's uniform, ''E" for
the look in her mothers eyes, "E"
for all the misery around, all her
lost happiness. all the hatred in her
heart. The End

B. TANK HEINTZLEMAN RECOMMENDED AS ALAsKA'S GOVERNOR
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON B. Frank He.ntzleman Was officially reaom- mended for Governor of Alaska by Secretary of Interior Mckay Tues day.
 The President is expected 10 send the nomination To thc Senate with in few days, q White House House spokesman said
 Mckay reportedly was ready Co recommend Heintzleman more than Ia month ago but was deterred when he learned of opposition by Che Alaska Republican committee.
 In the meantime. a procession of Alaskaus - either candidates or packers - came here to see AIa- Kay. He talked To al least ten Dor sons after the position and Che pro- ponents and opponents of each.
 Iaom these conversations. he be- eame aware of two basic conflicts SaGthoast versus Southwest and Tafl versus Dewey-Eisenhower fof- ees.
 When the committee recommend ed Reeve, Mckay was only one Of many Republicans here who turn ed thumbs down Their opposition stemmed from the fact that Reeve was unable to unseat Bartlett in what was otherwise a COP land slide election
 In view of apparent sectionalism and disunity. Mckay finally de- eided to recommend Heintzleman as the most capable of handling Ter fitorial problems He got the nod because of his 35-year experience in development of resources and because many non-political minded Alaskans voluntarily wrote or wir- ed approval of him.
 Boiled down, the opposition all seemed to emanate from one small, though vocal. faction.
 Of 15 influential Senators quer- jed, all said the nomination receiv- ed as far as can be determined, no opposition from the Senate.
 Delegate Bartlett said: "I look forward to working with Mr Heintzieman. He is a real Alaskan with thorough understanding of our Territorial problems who has won the respect and admiration of thousands of Alaska residents.
