Another Alaskan song has been recorded and is now on the mar ket. Titled "The Spirit of Alas ka". the song was written by two Valley residents, Earl z. ana Jessie T. Chandler, missionaries.
 The song, which describes the natural beauties of Alaska and it's people, was written five years ago when the Chandlers were m Ketchikan and first published m sbeet music form in 1852. A few copies of the sheet music are still available at the Valley Grocery store. MT. Chandler said thls week they intend to have a sec ond printing very soon.
 The records were cut in Cahfor- nia and are being distributed oy inc Golden Heart Recorders o1 Palmer at Koslosky's Department store, Valley Grocery and by MT and Mrs. Chandler.

 abandonment of the roads.
 Niemi presented an interesting resume of Alaska Road Comrnis- sion work in the Territory, re- miniscing about the early Col ony days; the start of the Glenn Highway in 1941; the first black top in Alaska put on in Valley in l949; and explained the opera tions of the ARC, and the Bureau of Roads (Whose work is confln ed to Park areas Interesting data revealed that the Territory now has $50 miles of paved roads; the Bureau of Public Roads maintains BIO miles of roads, of which the ARC maintains 20 miles within forest areas; and that the Terri tory helps maintain about 20 per cent of local roads in Alaska.
 The high cost of paving was brought out by the engineer who pointed to the permafrost prob lem that must be considered in road construction and paving. More and more of the construc- tion work is going to contractors, he said. However, we are still building the pioneer roads, util- izing materials from other gov- ernment agencies whenever pos sible.
 The highway needs in Alaska are critical, he stated. Only about 10 percent of the Territory has highways. Alaska should be in- cluded in any accelerated high way program, he said and added that Alaska is not part of the Highway Act. He said that he feels that Congress has at least taken cognizance of the fact that the Territory was not included in the Act, although they would be taxed the same as the states.

 We will have to continue to hire telephone operators even with the new dial system, he told listeners. REA requires that an information operator be 9n duty. If possible, some service type system will be worked out to offset the expenses of keeping an operator on 24-hour service. Possible services the operator might render were suggested by Partridge as: An answering ser vice where a person could leave a request that his phone be an swered by the operator while he was away; a possible burglar pro- lection service; even an alarm clock service would be possible, he said.
 Very soon" he pointed out, i've will have to begin deter mining the type service the sub scribers will require whether they wish private lines -two-par- ty lines or more. In answer to question Partridge stated that it would be possible for a busi- ness man to have a phone at his home and another at his business on the same line and that bocees rings could be received at both places. Such an arrangement ment would require extra install lation work however, and would cost the subscriber an additional amount.

Three-Duy Convention Pronounced Best Yet" By Visiting Delegates
By Lucille Mick


 The best convention yetw agreed all delegates and visitors as the League or Alaskan Cities fifth annual meeting closed here yesterday afternoon at Elks Hall with the adoption Of nine resolu- tions and Is legislative objectives.
 Deliberations at the three-day convention were paced by the keynote address delivered Mon day morning by George Rogers from the office of the Governor. Juneau. Rogers, recently named acting director of the newly created Rural Development Board, cited three mustsa for AL asl1an cities if they would as- surne the dominant and vital role in Alaska's progress: Alaskan cit ies must broaden their horizons. They must learn to know them selves. They must give thought and support to the devising of a new complete pattern of local government in which they can work effectively and promote their own interests
 These interests, he pointed out, are not confined to the arbitrary limits of the city itself but con- cern the entire economic region of which the incorporated city may be merely the business and commercial center. Illustrating his point with brief sketch of the development of Palmer as the core of the Matanuska Valley agricultural economy, he conclud- Cd, Cities prosper and decline as the economic regions of which they are the center prosper and decline"
 Further developing this main theme the speakers of the Mon day afternoon session: Jack Me kay, executive director of the AL aska Legislative Council, and John D. Corcoran of the Public Administration Service, brought to Alaska by Operation Statehood to help brief delegates to the Constitutional Convention on new trends in constitutions. Mckay gave a scholarly review of the historical development of home rule objectives and achievements, concluding that the opportunity offered by the drafting of a new state constitution might bring this centuries goal of vital, inde- pendent and completely reSpon- sible local government to reality in Alaska. Corcoran's ideas of local government broadened the horizons of cities by including the whole geographic and economic region on which they depend as the single structure of local gov arnment units.
 Theory got down to earth IT Tuesdays session as delegates learned how to develop their pro gressive communities through the Use of federal programs Discus sions of advance Public Works planning loans, Public Facility loans, urban planning, Civil De- | fense surplus property, disposal rehabilitation of rundown areas i and urban renewal, community development through E. H. A. as- sistance- all these possibilities were outlined by five federal agency heads during the morning and afternoon sessions.
 Still more down to earth was the Wednesday session preceding the final business meeting. Al the Alaska Cities Workshop, city administrators exchanged infor' nation and ideas on property re valuation, volunteer fire depart ment operation, street mainten- ance under contract vs. forced ac- count. and municipal public rela- lions as experienced in their re spective cities.
