$97,000 City Wafer
 Pipe Rejected by APW
TO BE REPLACED BY 10 GA. STEEL

Members of the city council and Mayor Al V. Hagen were inform ed at the regular council meeting June 16 that the wood slave waterpipe, scheduled for use in the city water system, has been rejected in it's present condition by the Alaska Public Works.
 Over $97,000 in wood slave pipe will be replaced, at no cost to the government or the City of Palmer by 10 guage steel pipe. This substitution will actually give the city a better water sys- tenn than the original contract called for, Ray Mathews, APW in- spector told the group.
 Manufacturers of the wood pipe sent representatives to the Valley to rehead the pipes, when they were informed they had not pass ed inspection. However, to re- habilitate the wood pipe at this time would work a hardship on the contractor, Artic Plumbing and Heating, and tor this reason, and to enable the completion of the water line on time, the con- tractor elected to put in the steel pipe. APW gave tentative appro- val to the substitution and mem bers of the common council went on record as being in accord with the APW approval so long as it IS at no additional cost to the city or government.
 The first shipment of steel pipe was started June 12 in Seattle.
 Inspectors will run a 50 pound test on 1900 feet of 10 inch wood slave pipe installed this past Fall on Valley street. If this pipe, that passed a 20 pound test last fall, fails to pass the heavier test it will be replaced by 10 inch steel pipe Fourteen inch wood slave pipe installed from the reservoir to the city that failed to pass Fall testings will all be replaced by steel pipes.

Practice Problem
 Planned by CD
 Group During Alert

Civil Defense workers in the Matanuska Valley will partici- pate in the huge western area training exercise planned for ear- ly Saturday morning, June 20.
 The local organization announce ed this week that a problem will be assumed in Palmer. All Civil Defense workers will be alerted for the problem, with the ex- ception of the Medical Unit, by the sounding of a red alert on the siren at 5:20 am. During the red alert the public will partici pate to the extent of no travel of any type during that time. All claer signals are expected to be sounded within 1855 minutes at which time traffic will proceed as usual.
 CD Director Edward Imme said this week he would like to em- phasize that Palmer CD officials are anxious to avoid any undue interference with people on their way to work. The total time, he added, during which traffic will be halted should not exceed fif- teen minutes. When the all clear is sounded, traffic will be per mitted to move but motorists are asked to drive with caution be- cause CD emergency vehicles will be moving about to complete the maneuver.
 Although Anchorage will parti- cipate only with a routine com munications check" Palmer of ficials felt that the early morning hour would not disrupt persons enroute to their work.
 The problem to be worked out in Palmer will start with the as- sumption. that the city has been bombed, by bomber or jet planes which will fly over the area shortly after the red alert has been sounded. Members of the fire, police, communication, cour' rier, transportation units and all staff members will participate.
 Extra police guards will be set up at strategic points throughout the city to guard against possible sabotage.
 The entire exercise is expected to be completed in Palmer by 6 a.m., Director Imme announced
 In addition to Alaska, other areas participating are Washing ton, Oregon, California, Idaho Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona British Columbia, Alberta and Ha waii.

Spring Brings Appetite
For Greens

Sure as young green leaves come
up in the spring, letters come to
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, asking how to tell
which young green leaves are good
to eat.
Delaware has several wild
greens, good to eat, says Miss M.
Gertrude Holloway, extension nu-
tritionist. She explains that there
are no set characteristics to dis
tinguish edible greens from ined-
ible ones, because they do not all
belong to one plant family, but
come from seberal Some wild
greens are poisonous, 50 Miss Hol-
loway cautions those with an ap-
petite for wild green's to eat only
those they can definitely recognize.
Learn the names, then check
with plant books to be sure you
have the right greens if you are
new at it. Some popular wild
greens in Delaware are winter
cress. water cress, yellow or curly
dock, purslane or pusley, chicory,
pokeweed, lambs quarter, dande-
lion, milkweed, and summer must
ard.
Dandelion greens are good with
bacon dressing and a bit of onions
or scallione. Water cress IS ex-
cellent for salads, alone or mixed
with other greens. Delaware
turnip greens are now being cut,
too. Mixed with winter cress,
they make tasty vegetable dish.
Now is the time to really enjoy
greens, advises Miss Holloway.
Tender young plants are the tast-
lest. Most green's become tough
as they mature, and strong in flaw
or. Careful cuttings from a patch
will allow new leaves to grow so
that several crops can be obtained.

INVESTMENTS
Social Security Head Explains
Trust Fund Investment in
Government Bonds
NOT DOUBLE TAXATION

Everyone knows that the social
security taxes paid by employees,
employers, and the self-employed
are used to pay old-age and surviv-
ors insurance benefits, Myron Mil
bouer, manager of the Delaware
Social Security Office, stated Mon
day. Most everyone realizes that
the reserve goes into Trust Fund,
he added, but there is considerable
misunderstanding about the use of
the money deposited to the Trust
Fund, and frequent criticism of
the investment of this reserve in
government securities. This prac-
tice, some people aliege, results in
double taxation for those who pay
contributions toward old-age and
survivors insurance benefits. They
maintain that they are taxed on
their covered earnings, and taxed
again TO redeem the government
bonds held by the Trust Fund.
''The error of this notion" Mr..
Milbouer asserted, lies in the as
sumption that the payments on the
national debt are a social security
cost. Actually, the Federal debt
is wholly Independent of the social
security program. Purchase of
government bonds by the Trust
Fund does not mean that the ma
tional debt is increased but merely
that the bond purchaser, in this In
stance, is a public agency rather
than a private investor"
While it is true that the govern
ment will have to levy taxes to pay
interest on and to redeem its obli-
cations to the Trust Fund, these
taxes are not for the purpose of
paying social security benefits, Mil
bouer pointed out. Rather, they
are to pay the expenses for which
the money was originally borrow
ed. When the government borrows
money for defense or any other
purpose, it is necessary to levy tax
es. This is true regardless OF
whether the bonds are held by the
Trust Fund or by a private bank
or insurance company.
