"'Older' councils saw to It that
we were ready to grow, by paving
the streets, putting in water
lines, lights, street signs and SO
on.
"This work in expanding areas
was long before the cry was
raised that we were resisting new
Rockville residents.
"The Good Government people
are simply trying to make politi-
cal hay out of another Hitlerian
technique, that of class hatred.
"Last summer, during our
water crisis, Boss Hartman was
no help, but the record again
shows that our city administra-
ton did everything possible to
prevent it, and handled the pro-
blem as we'll as possible.
"These are some of the things
we have done for the people of
Rockville = all the people = be-
cause we don't draw the line be-
tween new and old.
1--WE haven't fought new
comers, we have welcomed them,
as the record proves.
"Only the troublemakers be-
hind the Good Governments slate
have attempted to stir up hatreds
among our people"
Mr.. Weddle then took a crack
at Good Governments claims
that running Rockville does not
take much time.
Both Edward Hit and Warren
Milor, opponents of Dickran How
sepian, the c. G. G. mayoralty
candidate, had raised the issue
of whether Mr.. Hovsepian, an
Army map service employe, could
spare the time.
Mr.. Hit and Mr.. Milor are
Rockville businessmen who have
promised they will be available
for all the city's needs.
At a political get-together of all
candidates Friday night, Mr..
Hovsepian said an analysis of
emergency calls" for city off
cials amounted to only a little
over an hour a week.
Mr.. Weddle countered:
The Mayor of Rockville can.
not set aside an hour, three
minutes and 19 seconds a week,
or whatever the figure is, to
serve his city.
''I didn't start this controversy,
but I think an honest list of the
mayors duties will settle it."
He then issued the following
partial resume of duties for
which Rockville's unpaid mayor
must be available:
'The regular meetings alone
at least three a month-last from
800 pm. until at least 1880
pm. sometimes longer. Special
afternoon meetings, at least two
a month, lasting from 200 pm.
until at least 4:30 pm. some
times longer. Present mayor is
available at all times.
Often meets the City Manager
on the job-during the day to
discuss various things pertaining
to the pumps, street lights, etc
The mayor spends at least one
hour each day in the office and
about two hours on Saturday. Is
available by telephone or radio
at all times. I

EIks 10 Mark
 Third Birthday With Dance, Party

A party and dance is planned
 by Palmer Lodge B. P. o. Elks No. 1842 in honor of their third birthday. All members and their guests are invited to attend. The party has been scheduled for 10 pm.
 The Palmer lodge was institut ed on October 20, 1851, following much ground work by Elks liv- ing in the valley who felt the need for a local lodge. The insti- tuition meeting was held in the Palmer School gymnasium, fol- lowing a colorful parade with An chorage Lodge officers acting as Grand Lodge officers. Louis Od- sather of Anchorage was deputy grand exalted ruler.
 First officers of the Palmer lodge were Matt Onkka, exalted ruler, Leonard Kyger, esteemed leading knight, Clarence Bell, es- teemed loyal knight, John Reed, esteemed featuring knight, L. C. Stock, secretary, Thomas Lepak, treasurer, Russel Felzien, esquire, Lloyd Short, tyler, Gerrit Snider, chaplain, Ralph Goodrich, inner guard, and Jan Koslosky, J. F. Brown, Harvey Hiber, James Hur- ley and F. R. Sims. trustees.
 The lodge, which was started with 124 charter members has increased over the past three years to the present membership of 321 persons.
 One of the first activities be- gun by the lodge was the forma- ton of the teen age club which is still going strong under the supervision of the lodge. One night a week is set aside for the club to use the hall and from 35 to 80 young people enjoy dancing, games and eats.
 Elk lodges spend considerable time and money in charitable ac- tivities and the report for the past year was six million dollars for lodges all over the country. Alaska lodges spent over $20,000 in this work and the still-new Palmer lodge carried their end by being fourth in the territory in the amount of money spent for charity. An outstanding example is the recent polio drive in which the Palmer Lodge raised $1,475.30 in one night.
 Last year, on November l, the lodge moved to their new home and each evening since that date the hall has been busy, either with lodge activities, or used by some other organization.
 John Reed, a charter member of the lodge, is now exalted ruler.

kfWANIANS PLAN PUBLIC AUCTION

Palmer KiWanians are plann- ing another project. This time they will sponsor a public auc- tlon, early in November, with money raised ear marked for the Palmer School band fund. They hope to be able to raise enough money through the auction to as- sist in the purchase of needed instruments, uniforms, and music.
 A committee to make recom- mendations pertaining to min strel show this season was ap- pointed with Jim Wilson as chair man, assisted by Jim Hurley, Hugh Johnson, Lloyd Morley, and Grayson Murphy.
 Guest at the regular Kiwanis meeting October Il was Lee Plumbley, School band master. He told the group of the projected plans being made to build up sizeable band in the local schools. The long-range program would eventually include three begin ners, junior and senior bands. At the present time he is working with only beginners and the band, plus recently formed drum corps and majorette corps, all of whom made their first full-scale public appearance in Anchorage this past Saturday at the school football game.

PALMER SET FOR
 EAGLES IN FINAL GAME TOMORROW

Although the odds may be on the Anchorage High School Eag- les this Friday, they will have to continue their past-proven tao tics to take home their fourth victory this year over the Pal mer Moose football team. The two schools meet tomorrow after moon at 2 pm. for the fourth and final game of the season.
 Last Saturday the local eleven held the strong Anchorage team Tn 7-7 tie throughout the first half. The Eagles were given a surprise, and scare, by the Palmer lads when shortly after the kick off the Moose scored the first seven points of the game. No points were gained by either side during the second quarter. Anch- orage picked up seven points at Ehe end of the first quarter and another six points during the third quarter. In an all-out push '~t LII HE lllS 11IIdl T UdI lGI WGIG dD1S 10 push the final score up to 32-7. Anchorage ran 43 men onto the field during the game.
 The Palmer School band unit made it's first appearance in a parade down Fourth Avenue just prior to the game and performed on the field during half time. The blue and white unit drew many favorable comments and much ap- plause as they executed their new march steps and drills. They band unit will be on hand at Fridays game when Palmer resi- dents will have a chance to see them strut their stuff'.
 Members of the school Pep Club will operate a food conces- sion on the grounds.
 Several local stores plan to close during game time so that they and their employees may at tend the game.

TA Stockholders To Get Equity Returned Later

The Matanuska Telephone As sociation membership drive is progressing very well, according to Lew Hanks, chairman. Several members of valley Homemakers' clubs are making personal con- tacts in their spare time, selling memberships and equity stock in the association.
 According to policy adopted by the board of directors at re- cent meeting money paid into the association in equity stock will eventually be returned to the pur- chaser. This arrangement met with more general approval from prospective telephone users than the thought of lowered rates some time in the future Under the new plar when the association is if nancially able, the $40 paid in equity stock will be returned to the purchaser. Possibly in later years lower rates may also be feasible, they added.
 Anyone wishing to purchase and equity stock may drop in at the Extension Service office. The entire amount need not be paid all at once, Hanks pointed out. Those who wish may make arrangements for spread out payment. The total member ship and equity costs come to S50.
