FOUR RQBBERIES In THREE nIGHTS
NEW RESIDENT?

A large mammal of the deer family (Alces americana), bet ter known as a moose, was a visitor in town Sunday.
 Attracting a crowd of children and many adults, Sir Moose wandered blandly around, fin ally ending up in the fenced yard at the Bud Meier's home, where he seemed perfectly content to remain. Several camera enthusiasts took the opportunity for closeup shots of the moose before he was finally persuaded to retire to the woods under the guidance of the Alaska Highway Patrol and local residents.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO STUDY LICENSES

Betty Mears, Don Moore and Joseph Gallant were appointed by Mayor Al Hagen as a com mittee to study the city business license ordinance following a special meeting March r be- tween several local business rep resentatives and council mem berS.
 Councilwoman Mears pointed out that license rates must be set high enough to cover enforce ment. These include fire and health inspections and police en- forcement violations.
 Business representatives felt the licensing within the city should be made on a more equal basis. Anchorage recently revised part of their license ordinance to eliminate excessive taxing.
 A suggestion made by the busi- nessmen that the city revise their standards from graduated license fees to a standard business regis tration fee of $25 per year for all businesses required to carry a Territorial business license, will be studied by the appointed com mittee. Mrs. Mears is chairman of this committee.

unable to complete the work that day.
 Early this morning entrance was made at the North Palmer store where as far as can be de- termined, only one or two car tons of Lucky Strike cigarettes were stolen. However, crowbar, belonging to carpenters doing work at the store was stolen and later found in the Palmer Drug where entrance was again made through the rear door. Heavy iron braces had been specially made and attached to the door with the thought that entrance could not longer be gained. However, with the help of the crowbar, some person or persons got in and this time cleaned out the stock of watches, took additional cig- aretes and rifled through the camera stock. There was no money at either place last night.
 The confidence of the robbers was illustrated at the North Pal mer store where outside neon tubing and a light within the store burn all night. Entrance was made through the front door. Bob Johns said this morning that the glass in the door was not broken but that the door-jam had

Washington Trip Subject of
 Kiwanis Talk

Members of Palmer Kiwanis club enjoyed an interesting talk at their March 16 luncheon meet ing
 Dr. Allan Mick of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station briefly reviewed his recent trip to Washington where he repre- sented Don Irwin local ARA di- rector, in explaining Alaska's ag- ricultural research program to the House subcommittee on agri culture. He reported a very sym pathetic reception and explained the Experiment Station antici- pates receiving the same Federal support during 1854, as received in 1853. This federal research money will again be supplement- ed by Territorial funds, he said.
 Special attention will be focus ed during the coming year on strengthening the agricultural ex- tension program in the Territory and in offering technical course work for undergraduates at the University of Alaska, Mick an- nounced. The Experiment Station expects to make full use of the Palmer greenhouse facilities this year.
 Conferred with RITA
 While in Washington Mick talked with RITA officials who are aware of Palmer's great need for telephone service, he said. If and when loan funds become available next year, RITA is will ing to consider an application for assistance, if the Matanuska Val ley people can get their plans submitted in time. It was stressed that initiative for the planning phase must be seized by the Ma tanuska Valley residents. RITA may be able to assist in the later engineering phases of the work, Mick was told.
 Plan Ladies Night"
 Kiwanis members plan a Lad ies Night" for Monday evening, March g at 7 pm. The dinner and program will be held in the Coop club room.

CHAMBER HEARS r. J. MAL0NEY, STEAMSHIP OFFICIAL

Guest speaker at the Chamber
 of Commerce meeting held
 March Is was Thomas J. Ma
 loney, agent in the Anchorage
 office of the Alaska Steamship
 Company.
 Maloney prefaced his talk with
 the statement that during the
 recent ship strike in Seattle,
 Chamber President, Fred Zieke
 was very instrumental in help
 ing with the problem. Zieke had
 conferred with union officials on
 behalf of the local Pitchfork
 Committee.
 While addressing the group,
 Maloney pointed out that it is
 almost essential that the steam
 ship company obtain Liberty
 ships from the government. We lost the first round, last Fall" he
 said. It is deep problem effect
 ing all of the United States and
 Alaska. Tt is necessary for us to break out ships at very short notice, he said. This is especially so from southbound areas. Salmon from Bristol Bay and Prince William Sound must be moved immediately for they have no storage facilities at the canneries.
 Maloney pointed out that it would cost the company 50 thou sand dollars a year to hire ship. We can't hire a ship for a year and use it only three months. It would cost ten thousand dollars to equip a ship that might only be needed for one trip" If we are unable to get these Liberty ships, in order to increase our opera tions, we will have to increase the freight rates. That is the last thing we want to do" he empha sized. We are proud when we are able to lower our rates, he said. Its good for Alaska and the Al aska Steamship Company"
 A new container program has been instituted by ASC, Maloney These are economical to. build, he said, averaging around $l1 apiece. The new con- tainers have a 65 cubic foot capa- city with open tops and are col lapsible, he said. They prevent pilferage and have dropped breakage to practically nothing. Approximately 300-400 of these containers are being used in the area.
 Half a million dollars has gone into the new program, Maloney said, with new program, includ- ing steel and plywood types, be- ing planned.
 We must do all in our power to increase the tourists trade" Maloney said. In 1851 there were 20 thousand persons who came to Alaska over the highway. In 1853 there may be 100 thousand .. | there may come a day when we nave half million tourists com ing here. "Workers take up to 90b of their earnings back to the states, tourists leave their money nere," he pointed out. They will be the savior of Alaska" Maloney About 30% of our trade make the Interior during their Alaska vacations, Maloney said. They leave between three and four thousand dollars apiece during this time.
 Because of limited time, tourists who are not staying over are un able to come to Palmer but he said nearly all of them express the wish that they could visit the Valley. Possibly some day, Maloney said, tour can be that will include the valley.
