DEATH OF NATIVE IS
 BEING INVESTIGATED

The Alaska Highway Patrol is continuing it's investigation in the death of Damon Ezi, 17-year-old son of Mrs. William Ezi of Eklutna whose injured body was found on the Glenn Highway about one mile north of the Eklutna rail- road crossing early on the morn ing of January II.
 William Zahradnicek of Palmer, stationed at Fort Richardson was driving toward Palmer and was within 10 feet of the body before realizing what it was. Highway Patrol officers said that. Zahrad- nicek reported his car was straddl- ing the body when he brought it to a stop.
 Zahradnicek stopped the first car along the highway, which was a patrol car and he and the officer took the injured youth to Provi- dence Hospital where he died shortly after admittance.
 An atopsy revealed nothing ad ditional about the cause of the youths death, physicians reported. Ezi died from injuries, but wheth- CT he had been struck earlier by car or received his injuries in another manner had not been de termined.
 Ezi was a former resident of Matanuska and had formerly at tended Palmer Schools.

PALMER FIRST IN ALASKA TO RECEIVE POLIO CHARTER

Dated February IS, 194O is the first Territory of Alaska charter issued by the National Foundation for Infantile Par alysis, certifying that the Ma tanuska Valley had been duly organized as a Chapter of the national foundation.
 The copy of the charter has an interesting history in itself. Hanging in the old Valley Hos pital it was thought by the local chapter to have been lost Tn the fire that destroyed the hospital several years ago. However, it was brought to light by the late Charles Will son. one day when he was go- ing through property stored in one of the Playground build- ings. This and a signed list of charter members were turned over to Mrs. Nina Stock, one of the charter members and early o1rectors of the March of Dim es. Many persons whose names appear on the original charter are still in the Valley.

 Offering his thanks to Beta Sig ma Phi for assistance lent during the past year, outgoing President Ed Smith recalled the many ac- complishments of the local Xii wanis Club throughout the year mentioning the Minstrel Show basketball tournament, Kids Day and several other civic activities sponsored Fby the organization.
 Henry Noonan, executive of ficer with CAA and charter member of the Anchorage Kiwan- is Club, was guest speaker. His subject, "Kiwanis In the South left no doubt in his listeners minds that the south has progress sed greatly in the past ten years with the introduction of the me- chanical cotton picker and new industries that have been gradu- all moving from the north. Active work within southern Kiwanis Clubs had foreseen the need for additional employment when the cotton picker was first introduced and through long-range planning neither the machine or the new plastic fabrics have affected the economy of the south to any de- gree, Noonan stated.
 We can do the same here in the Territory" he went on. Loyal Alaskans say that the economy of the Territory will not be affected if the military moves out. We can make long-range plans here in Alaska the same as they did in the south," Noonan prophecied. It will not be a little thing, he went

PLAN TO PRESENT COLLEGE BILL AT NEXT LEGISLATURE

Fired with enthusiasm, the Val ley's two Republicans who will leave for the Capitol at Juneau this month plan to present for legislature bill for the construc- tion of an agricultural college in the Matanuska Valley. Senator Gerritt Snider was scheduled to leave for Juneau today aboard s. s. Denali; Members of the House of Representatives, M. D. Snodgrass will follow the early part of next week.
 In commenting on the possibil- ities of a college for the valley, Representative Snodgrass said that their work is not all com plete. We will definitely present a bill," he said, flor vocational, agricultural college as a branch of the University to be located in the Matanuska Valley. We will have bill ready to present for legislature" he promised.
 The University is proposing a Community College for some six towns and cities in the Territory. Palmer (Matanuska Valley) is fifth on this list. This community type college would include special lines of instructions for adult ed ucation and vocational training. They would provide subjects par tlcularly adapted to the region in which they were located.
 Snider Plans Bill
 The first bill I shall present will be one ordering the death penalty for second and third of lenders in dope peddling," Sen ator Gerritt Snider said iast Ca for leaving for Juneau today. They have that law for murder aren't dope peddlers just as bad" he queried.
 Increased salaries for all Ter ritorial teachers and an increase In money for the aged will also receive his support, Snider said. Together with Representative M. D. Snodgrass, Snider will present bill for the construction of a college in the Matanuska Valley.
 Prophecies Sales Tax
 "In all probability a bill will come up for a Territorial sales tax" Snider prophecied. During the last legislature, as member of the Senate, I opposed a bill for an indebtness of 121a million dol lars for schools, Snider stated. A we all know, this bill has passed and now will be sent as a mello1- lal to Congress. I believe it Will be granted by Congress and if granted, a special tax may be set up. probably Territorial sales tax to pay for the l21s million dollars, he stated.
 "A lot of people forget we have to pay close to $200,OOO interest on 12a million dollars. Hence, I was against it, figuring that $2OO.- oO0 interest could build nice school" Snider explained.
 Only few years ago." Snider went on. "our budget was around four or five million dollars. Now the budget calls for 321s million It seems as though the Territory has been or is going into big business. I believe that instead ot meeting only once in two years. legislature should have sessions every year."
 Last year, as member of the legislature finance committee. we ended the year with four and one half million dollars in the black. Our committee was made LID of two Republicans and two Demo crats who all worked in accord and ended with the unusual rec ord," Snider explained.
 Members of the committee were John Betrovich, R of Fairbanks; Howard Ling, CD of Nome, James Nolan, O) of Wrangell and Sena-- tor Snider (R) of the Valley.
