Merchants Exhibition Plans Progressing

Valley merchants have respond ed very we'll and are preparing to exhibit their stock in the forth coming Merchants Exhibition and Motor Preview, according to Whitey Pullen, show manager.
 Pullen announced this week that dates for the giant exposition have been changed from March 26 and 27 to April 2 and 3 We are making the change because we did not realize one of our orig inally proposed dates would con- flict with the Kiwanis' annual minstrel show.
 The later date will permit showing of 1855 trucks that will arrive in the valley by that time. Kirk's Sales and Service will be showing their line of 1855 Chev- rolet trucks; Hartley Motors, Inc. will show the Ford truck line, and the Coop Garage will dis play the International models. In addition, Brooks Equipment will be showing their line of Ford tractors and various equipment pieces. The Coop Garage will also show their Internation-Har- vester farm equipment pieces.
 Home appliances will get big play during the twoday exposi- ton. Koslosky's Department store will show their line of 1855 Phil co home appliances, along with television sets and other items. Grasser's Hardware will show their line of Zenith home appli- ances, television sets and out board motors.
 The Coop Warehouse will have display of their Westinghouse and other brands of home appli- ances, along with the new Zen ith television sets. Other exhib- itors will be showing the latest makes and models of their stock. Every merchant and business owner in the valley is invited to have an exhibit. Anyone not yet contacted is asked to call Pullen at Kirk's Sales and Service. The cost to each merchant will be at 2 minimum, Pullen said this week
 The show will De held in the new exposition building at the fairgrounds and will De high lighted by several hours of enter tainment. In addition to the ex- hibitions, there will be food con sessions. Two local organizations have inquired about space in the building, Pullen reported, and will offer the popular concession type food, such as hot dogs, cof- fee, pop and popcorn.

FWS AGENTS ASK COOP PERATION IN MOOSE PROBLEM

Holgar Larson, enforcement agent with the Fish and Wildlife, and other FWS officials, visited the valley area yesterday and last night in regard to the present moose problem.
 We have found that 95 percent of the kills in the valley are un- necessary, Larson said today. The present situation is being az gravated by farmers who have left feed in their fields, he point ed out. When such feed as cab bages, potatoes, carrots, etc. are left in the field, it is just like leaving million dollars laying around and not expecting anyone to take slice. Several moose kills have been reported by in- dividualS who have felt it neceS- sary to shoot moose on their pro- perty.
 We do not feel that this is necessary" Larson said. "Only when a moose is attacking which is very seldom, do we feel an individual is justified in shooting moose, he added. Most of the time a yell or other noise will scare them off.
 However, Larson did request that parents caution their chil- dren about being around moose with dog which is running loose. The dog will go after the moose and when the moose becomes ag- gravated enough, will turn on the dog. Naturally the dog runs back to his master or mistress for pro- lection and then you have the problem, he said.
 Larson met with a group of Matanuska Valley Sportsmen, Palmer Elks, and school officials and discussed the problem. To the greatest extent, these people all understand that because of the heavy snowfall this year the moose populace has moved dowr into the valley in greater than usual numbers. It will last only about two or three weeks longer Larson pointed out, and he asked that all residents of the valley O. operate during this time.
 Two FWS men will be working in the Palmer area each day, he said. An experimental project i: under way and anyone knowing of a sick moose or one that has died is requested to leave the in formation at the U. s. Commis- sioner's office or at Bert's Drug store. The men are making z study of existing conditions anc how the moose are being affected rby this winters weather and any information that residents car volunteer will aid in this pro gram, Larson stated.

Colony Day Plans Shaping Up
 Committees Report

Progressive plans for the com ing Colony Day celebration to be held on Sunday, May 29, were reported at the Wednesday meet ing of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce. Fore most among the plans is a means of financing the event.
 Jim Wilson, chairman of con- sessions and rides, reported that it has been estimated that the one-day event will cost in the neighborhood of $50O-$700. Al Hagen, who has served on pre- vious Colony Day committees, speculated that judging from past figures, the costs could well exceed that figure.
 Wilson suggested that a good booklet on the Colonization of the Valley be printed and distrib- uted as one means of raising need ed funds. The booklet would con- tain wide range of photographs of the valley-from the early col ony days to present time, along with pertinent information on the colonization and it's present day status. The suggestion was receiv- ed with approval by those attend ing the meeting, and further sug- gestions were offered. Costs of publishing such a booklet could be financed by advertising, it was proposed.
 Such booklet could be put on sale as soon as printed and carried on the newsstands year round, offering an educational souvenir of the valley at a mod rate cost to tourists.
 Further work on the big cele- bration will be continued by the committees.
 Anchorage Day
 March 16 has been set by the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce as Anchorage Day. Members of the Anchorage Cham Der will be invited to attend the luncheon meeting held on that date and all local Chamber mem bers and area business owners are urged to turn out to offer a wei come to the neighboring Cham Der. A program will be presented.
 Support New Bills
 Chamber members voiced their approval to legislative bills now pending, including House Bill No. 92 pertaining to the education program, and Alaska Department of Agriculture proposals revising livestock inclusion of agri- culture products other than po- tatoes in the grading law and creating a pest control fund.
 Chamber members were em- phatic in not approving the pro- posed change in Chapter 86, re- ferring to highway signs. House Bill 63 would take the teeth out of the present law, it was pointed out, and members agreed to con Continued on page 8

SAYS MANY SIGlER
 DID NOT KNOW
 PETITIONS CONTENT

John Shaw, city attorney, this week took to task many of the TIT individuals who signed the petition asking for recall of Act ing Mayor and Councilwoman Betty Mears. He spoke out at the regular City Council meeting held on March 1 and stated that he did not believe that many of the signers realized just what the pss tition charged.
 T do not believe that the pulp lie is aware of what goes on iR the City Council meetings. Few, if any of those Who signed ever attended the meetings or avaA themselves of the minutes of the meetings and I don't believe they realize the gravity of what they have done.
 T feel it is the duty of the City Council that when one 0G your members is challenged in this manner to look into the mate ter deeply. One thing the Council may have overlooked is theiG power, granted by the Territory to investigate, and as such may have been remiss in their duty t@ [ do so. A City Council operates the same as State Legislature or Con gress. The Council knew of none of these charges of which Mrs. Mears is being charged OF didn't look into it.
 These charges are false" Shaw stated. Mrs. Mears has done nothing wrong. If there is any 1 foundation of truth to the charges it is the duty of the City Council to look into it.
 In my opinion what has haDs pened to Mrs. Mears shouldn't happen to a dog. Under the recall law there must be specific chaFg~ es-not just because a persO@ might not like another person only where there is a bad situa~ ton with definite, specific charg- es in violation of the law.
 If the recall election comes up, Mrs. Mears cannot be recalled as Mayor for she was never elected Mayor by the voters, but only re- called as councilwoman. She can not be held responsible for any thing done as her duties as mayor, such as signing checks"
 1 In referring to the specific charges made in the petition At torney Shaw said that every or dinance> carries a saving's-clause. In the city ordinance governing purchases above $500 without calling for bids, there is clause that does allow purchases above that figure in certain exceptions. 'For instance, Shaw pointed out, "the switchboard purchased by a previous council was purchased without call for bids. The Coun- cil does have the right to call for bids, and I think it is good to do so This ordinance was adopted to protect the city from exorbitant purchases by department heads, without the approval of the Coun- cil."
 Purchases made for the fire hall were done with the whole
