Every adult in the Palmer area should circle the dates January 10 and II on their new 1855 cal endars. Those are the days when the Alaska Department of Health mobile X-ray unit will be set up in the basement of Palmer Cen tral School.
 In making thhis announcement, Mrs. Richard Andrews and Mrs. Charles Wilson, co-chalrmen for the X-ray program in Palmer, re- peated the primary objective: to find early indications of tuber- culosis, heart disease, and can- cer before it is too late.
 Those are the leading disease killers, Mrs. Andrews pointed out, "and in this territory-wide battle against them, the X-ray is one of the best ways to uncover hidden cases of chest diseases that show no warning signals.
 Remember also", added Mrs. Wilson, that tuberculosis is a communicable disease. The hid den source of TB in the valley might be the one who doesn't get an X-ray.
 Do your part. Urge everyone in your neighborhood to come and get an X-ray; team up on rides and go together. You are only as safe as your neighbor".

 The biggest controversy was not over wages" he said, "as Koslosky's early in negotiations agreed to meet all conditions in the only other similar contract in Palmer, but several clauses gov erning the employer and manag- erial positions were in question.

MIA Dead|ine Near; Officials Here Jan. }

G. H. Goettings, REA official froap Washington, D. C. is expect ed in Palmer on January 3, ac- cording to Lew Hanks, chairman of the Matanuska Telephone As sociation.
 Goettings, who is assistant head of the Western Section Telephone Operations and Loan Division, will be accompanied by REA en- gireer and while in Palmer will check over the progress of the MTA.
 Hanks said this week that it is urgent that all prospective telephone users purchase their memberships and equity stock in the association prior to Goettings' arrival. If the sign-up is suffl- ciently complete by his arrival, it is expected that he will go ahead and assist in drawing up contracts, etc. If the sign-up is not sufficiently complete by that date, it will probably delay the telephone project indefinitely.
 Everyone planning to have a telephone is urged to sign up at once. Hanks emphasized that there just isn't time, or personnel, to make personal cortacts in every case and urged that those who have not already signed up do so at once. The Extension Service is offering assistance in this respect, by permitting regis tration at the Extension Service office. Membership in the associa- tion is S10. Equity stock is $40. For those who can not pay the entire amount at this time, install Inert payments may be arranged for at the time of initial payment but by signing up and getting 6 partial payment down, Hanks said, we will know how extensive a telephone service we will be

CD OFFICIAL WARNS OF H-BOMB DANGER
 DURlNG VALLEY VISIT

That Palmer could be the tar get for an H-bomb is not entirely impossible, it was pointed out at a general Civil Defense meeting held on Tuesday of this week.
 Ed Fortier, deputy Civil De- fense director, and Charles Sap pho, communication chief of the Greater Anchorage area, met with members of the Palmer City Council, leading Civil Defense of- ficjals of the valley area, and several interested citizens. The purpose of the meeting was to bring the present CD picture into view.
 A 2O-minute film showing the H-bomb explosion test, highly it. lustrated the problems facing thl: area. There is an 80% change in the CD picture now" Porter stated. Our previous CD plans were made obsolete with the ex- plosion of the H-bomb and now we must get going, in a hurry, and get an entire new program for civil defense"
 In pointing out the graphic changes in the defense picture, Fortier said that officials con- sider all military points as con- ceiveable H-bomb targets. Should an H-bomb be dropped on mil itary targets in the Anchorage area, Palmer could be in danger of what is termed the "fall-out' i factor of the bomb. However through weather studies being conducted, Palmer is considered fairly safe from the fall-out, Ii prevailing winds hold. Trouble from the fall out factor can be felt from 50-100 miles away from the actual blast, Fortier stated An area between 200-300 mile! could even be in danger. The ex isting weather at the time of the blast would be the determining factor.
 There is much planning to bt done", the CD official stated. T | necessary to move residents ou of the Anchorage area, it look now as though those in tht Mountain View and Eagle Rive

COURT RULES eg0 INJUNCTION AGAINST CITY

City Attorney John Shaw re- preserted the City of Palmer ln Third District Court on December 10 when the City was ordered to show cause why restraining order should not be given from mourning further costs ln con nection with the construction ot the City's fire hall; and from mak- ing further expenditures for ob- ligations already incurred in con- nection herewith and from in- curing additional obligations and liabilities of any sort in con travention of Territorial and City ordinances.
 When the case came to trial members of the City Council, in attendance to support the city's position were William Zahrad- nicek, Betty Mears, and Lucille Mick, as well as City Clerk Frank Connally. The only witness called by Ralph Cottis, attorney for the plaintiff Steve Ward, was Coun- cilman Alfred V. Hagen. The city did not call any witnesses.
 City Attorney Shaw had fur nished the court with several at- fidavits which Judge J. L. Nc Carry announced were well pre- pared. Following testimony glv- en by Councilman Hagen and questioning by both the City At torney and Judge McCarrey, the Judge announced he felt the city had gone ahead and done job for the community, pointing out that according to an affidavit the city was faced with no hous' ing for the fire equipment after September l, 1854 and that the construction of housing to protect the equipment was done in the interest of the community. "Hac there not been proper housing provided for the equipment, coulc not the city have been faced with a suit if the equipment did not function at fire?" he question ed
 Judge McCarrey's decision 1T the case was that the plaintiff Steve Ward, was rot entitled tc an order restraining or enjoinin& the city from paying the bills in cured in connection with the construction of the fire hall.
 He expressed an opinion tha on the City's statement that th' fire hall is completed sufficient, enough to serve it's purpose fo now, there would probably be m need for further construction a the present time.
 What it amounted to was tha the judge actually dismissed tn petition for a restraining orde and injunction as sought by Ward Had it been granted it woul' have prohibited further work an payment of bills for work an materials already performed an purchased in the construction 0

With q crew Of uniformed po-
licemen taking notes on every
wrong move, 80 teen-aged drivers
yesterday matched skill and
nerves with one another in
WaShington's third annual
Road-E-O.
The young drivers piloted a
half-dozen shiny new cars
through an obstacle course tough
enough to frighten any one but
a motorcycle policeman. The
course was set up on the parking
lot at Carter Barron Amphi-
theater.
The only resemblance to a
Western-style rodeo was pro-
vided by District Traffic Director
George Keneipp, one Of the
judges, who showed up in a cow
boy shirt and Western tie. The
contestants were too awed by
the complexities of the course to
whoop it up any.
Curve Gives Trouble.
Driving automobiles lent by
local dealers, the young people
had the most trouble with a
test called Curve and Offset,
Controlled Steering" In this
one. the cars had to be eased
down a curving corridor hardly
wider than the automobile,
angled into a garage-size space
and then backed up the whole
length Of the course.
When the drivers started back
ing up, the wooden stanchions
lining the course were bowled
over like tenpins.
Even when a driver managed
to clear the stanchions, a scorer
was ready to penalize him for
"jerky movement" or uneven
speed"
Other tests involved stopping
smoothly close to a line. park
ing close to the curb without
touching it and navigating for
ward and back so that the wheels
passed cleanly between pairs of
rubber balls a foot apart.
Tested in Traffic.
After that, contestants took a
road test in traffic. Judges said
most of the young drivers were
excellent on the mechanics of
driving but inclined to underrate
road hazards.
First place went to Gordon
w. Muir, of 1862 Mintwood

rector John Robertson and Nor
ris Davidson of the Davidson
Transfer Co.
One contestant was sidelined
because she forgot to bring her
drivers license. Bette Arnold,
II, of 159 Joliet street S.W., said
ruefully that she didn't know she
needed one and anyway there
was no point in going home to
get it because it was a learners
permit and had just expired.
