One THING Know

The Bible story for this week
tells about a young man who did
not claim to know much. II you had
put him into a modern theological
seminary he could not have passed
an examination in 'Christology" TO
save his life. In fact, it seems
doubtful whether he would even be
admitted to membership in some
orthodox churches today The theo-
logical experts of his church, the
PhariSees. in fact tried to grill
him They tried 10 confuse him,
they wanted him to admit that
Jesus was fake, a liar all the bad
things they kept saving he was. But
the young man stuck to one point,
He does not seem to have been well
educated 1t may be doubted
whether he could have met those
PhariSccs in a formal debate But
he stuck to his one point One
thing | know, that though I was
blind, now ! sec Tbs best proof
that Jesus was right, that Chris
tanty is true, Is not arguments
from books. it is the argument
fgom people 1t is what Christ has
donc for them. it is the difference
between What they we're before
they met Jesus and what they were

One Cent On Gasoline

THE StatA Highway Department has not
sold the need for one cent additional tax
on gasoline to accrue to the highway funds.
a need for large expenditures IN maint0-
ance, and for construction OF -four LAME
highways is recognized. and 10 doubt that
at least the usual progress in building
roads will be maintained from current re-
ceipts. Governor Stanley has said that 81
million will be returned TO the highway
fund from former diversions 1t il estn-
ated that 81 million will be received due
TO usual increases in gasoline consumption
and better than 81 million additional viii
come from federal funds, incidently the
most Of which Will have been collected from
sales in Virginia. These incomes total 81
million
The Herald was definitely against The
proposal of Republican candidate, Ted
Dalton, to issue bonds Of $40 million am
nually over a five year period for highway
construction. Our position was that Tho
need was not sufficiently urgent to require
the bond issues and further that the pay
as-you-go policy had been blessing 10
Virginia and the motorists However, if it
could be proven to our satisfaction that
IAN emergency existed and hat all additions
al tax is necessary we would 80 along with
it, as the better way to finance the needs.
10 doubt the highway department coua
spend the extra funds and probably tho
highway system would be III better co0dl-
ton. with more four lane supper roads, ID

Anchorage Merchants Agree to Sell Only
 AIaska-Grown Potatoes

All but two Anchorage-area grocers have agreed to sell only Alaska-grown potatoes as long, as the demand can be met by po- tato growers members of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce were told at the We'd nesday noon meeting.
 The signed agreements were secured by George Jackson, board member of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, follow jng consultations with James Wilson, commissioner of Agricul- ture and a member of the local C of c; l. M. c. Anderson, Farm CTS Home Administration off cial, and John Croul, of the An chorage c of c.
 The action has been dubbed by the Anchorage merchants as An chorage Potato Party.
 Jackson predicted that sim liar purchase action may be talk en by the Military.
 The agreement is expected to relieve local farmers of their bumper crop, now in storage in nearly every available spot in the valley.
 Chamber secretary, Betty Mears, reminded members that 1854 dues are now due and pay able. Rates are SIP per year for either individual or organization membership.

STEAMSHIP OFFICIALS EXPLAIN RATE HIKE

D. E. Skinner, president and general manager of the Alaska Steamship Company told a rep resentative group of Palmer busi- ness men that the reasons for the 10 percent increase in water transportation February 10 is nec- essary because of substantial in creases in cost of operation since the last increase in March of 1852.
 Illustrating his talk with pre- pared financial statements, Skinner showed where the steam ship company realized net prof it before taxes of only $22,641, in spite of a $16,970,000 1853 gross business. High costs of operation include over $1 million for sub sistence and lodging; over $1 mil lion for fuel; over $4 million for stevadoring and over $5 million for wages. A six week strike dur ing the summer season in 1852 caused a $408,672 loss in 1852.
 In pointing out the necessity of the increase Skinner told the men that improved service will be offered. The unitization pro- gram will be extended, teletype communication system and other means of speeding up delivery will be used.
 Fred Zieke, Coop general manager, Jim Wilson, commits sioner of agriculture and Herman Leirer, Seward dairyman, pointed out hardships to the farmers if the freight increase on seed, feed, hay and fertilizer goes through. Zieke requested that these items be given special consideration by the Pacific Coast Maritime Con- ference, of which Coastwist Lines and the Alaska Line are mem bers.
 Several times during the meet ing it was brought out that no public notice had been given of the increase, scheduled to go in- to effect February 10. Skinner said the Federal Maritime Board had been notified and added that any changes would have to also go before the Federal Board.
 Skinner was accompanied by George Hutton of the Coastwise Line and John Titas of the Alas ka Line Anchorage office.

Palmer Scouts To Observe National Scout Week

Boy Scout Week will be ob- served nationally from February 2 to February 13.
 This week will find Scouts, their parents, local institutions and public officials paying tribute the the leaders of the 89,000 Scouting Units for the con tribution they are making to their communities by helping boys be- come men of good character.
 Rally Planned
 In Palmer, Scoutmaster Harry Winner will be assisted in putt ing on the annual Boy Scout Ral- Fly Wednesday evening, February 10. In years past the Rally has been held. in Anchorage and Pal mer has travelled there for par ticipation. However, this year the Anchorage Rally is being held on February 12, the date that the Palmer High School basketball team meet the Fairbanks Male mutes on the Palmer court. To avoid conflicting activities on that date Palmer will hold their own Rally this year on the 10th.
 Members of Palmer's two Scout troops will participate. Scouts from the Wasilla troop have been invited. There will be a variety of contests, including ice rescue bridge building, first aid work, knot tieing work and vari- ous other competitive activities.
 The Rally will be held in the Palmer School gymnasium begin hing at 7:30 pm. Over 30 boys are expected to participate. All parents and friends are invited to attend and encourage their fav- orite teams.
 Scouts 10 Attend Church
 On Sunday morning, February 7, all Boy Scouts have been in- vited to attend church services at the United Protestant Church, sponsors of Troop 654. These Scouts and all others who will be attending some other church, are invited to wear their Scout uni forms to the services.
 A special meeting called for parents and interested adults January 28 did not bring out as many as was hoped for.

1wenfy- Four Affend First Recreation Meet

Twenty-four persons, represent ing local organizations, attended the first full-scale meeting of the formation of recreation com mittee Cor counciD in the valley.
 Hugh A. Johnson, Kiwanis representative, acting temporary chairman, presented a short ex- planation of the purpose of the meeting. Many groups have been interested in a recreation program for a long time, some eff forts have conflicted, some have been wasted'', he said. We have two major propositions to con- sider today. CD A skating rink tennis court and @ the desire ability of an area-wide recreation council. to plan and develop an integrate development program for recreation"
 Johnson introduced various representatives who brought out the origin of the proposed coun- Gil and project; the extensive pos abilities of such a formed group, and many of the problems that will have to be faced and solved before the successful completion of the proposals.
 AS Johnson pointed out, the council would be a group who would assist any organization with their organized youth &C., tivities whenever and wherever needed. They would not take over the supervision of these ac- tivities, but would act only in an assisting manner when requested.
 It was felt by several attending that such an organization could be instrumental in not only ac- quiring tennis courts and skating rink, but many other worthy rec reational projects including hand crafts, photography, swimming and sports not now enjoyed ex- tensively by the youth of the valley.
 Following a motion by Charles Wilson of the City Planning Com mission, representatives agreed to report to their parent organization and return for another meeting Sunday afternoon, February 28 when it will be decided whether or not a council will be formed and whether or not the tennis court and skating rink project should be undertaken as the first project of the council.
