MAY CANCEL TWO FOOTBALL GAMES

The two extra football games scheduled between the Palmer and Anchorage teams will pro- bably be cancelled, William T. zahradnicek, school superintend- ent said today. A check with An chorage school officials to deter mine field conditions in that city will be the determining factor, Zahradnicek said. The local field could not be put in suitable play ing condition before the Friday game. However, should the An chorage field be usable, the game will be played as planned at 1:45 at Mulcahy Park.
 Anchorage Eagles defeated the Palmer players at the game play ed in their home city October 8 by a score of 1916. Anchorage took the lead early in the game but were unable to build up their score until the final quarter when they recovered a Palmer tumble which eventually meant the ad- ditional points.

Prior to the October II meet ing of the Common Council, new ly elected Mayor Charles W. Will son and CouncilTnen William T. Zahradnicek and Jan Koslosky were administered to the oath of office by City Magistrate Frank Connally.
 Communications read at the meeting included a letter from the Palmer Public School report ing board action at meeting held October 5. They requested the City consider a joint tax prob lem; the revaluation and reassess- memt needs in the city area. Such project would involve many expenses. The letter requested City consideration of sharing costs. A later discussion by coun- ci1 members pointed out the need for capitalized taxation, brought about by such assessment work. Last year physical assessment work was done on all properties outside city limits, in the school district. The proposed physical assessment work would aid in equalizing assessments within the city.
 Other communications were re- ceived from the Attorney Gen eral in Juneau requesting cooper ation from the city in tax sale properties against which the Ter ritory might have a lien, and letter from Pippel Insurance for bond renewal for the city clerk.
 Ray Mathews, APW inspector, appeared at the Council meeting to answer questions Councilmem- bers might wish clarified. He re- ported APW has requested a full report on the City's eight-inch well a report that Mathews is in the process of making. In re ga1'ds to the status of the City against the bonding company, Mathews reported there is no way AtPW can force the company to pay bills. We can only tell the company to do so, we can not force them, he stated. He was referring to bills incurred by the City of Palmer when the contrac- tor failed to complete his street work and the City was forced to do the work at the cost of ap- proximately $500. In addition, the city now has put oyer $6,000 into repair of the eight-inch we'll Referring to this subject Mathews pointed out that the contractor has fulfilled his contract; had put down the well-that the well worked for the required year and that the company can no longer be held responsible for the

The Matanuska Valley, and Palmer in particular, will once again play host and hostess to a convention. The League of AL askan Cities will meet in Palmer October 31, November 1 and 2. Representatives of nearly every major city in the territory, and their wives, will be in attend ance during the three-day meet ing.
 A few of these visitors will be making their first trip to Palmer and the Matanuska Valley. Many of them have expressed their an xiousness to visit the Valley of Plenty" and although they will be visiting at a time when much of the green landscape will be turned to shades of yellows and browns (and perhaps "a light touch of white) they nevertheless will have an opportunity to tour the farm areas and visit various spots of interest.
 As part of the valley-wide welcome being planned, the Ma tanuska Valley Chamber of Com merce will sponsor an all-valley dinner for the visitors. Commit tee members, in formulating the menu, believe it will be possible to serve only items raised or pro- duced in the Matanuska Valley, promoting the Valley of Plenty" theme that is becoming more and more the by-line of this agricul- tural area. The only exception would be sugar and coffee.
 Residents will have an oppor- tunity to help the Chamber in ob-

MAYORS STATEN ET ' PRESENTED AT COUNCIL MEETING

Charles w. Wilson, mayor of Palmer, spoke to members of the Common Council on his proposed policies for his term of office during the October n meeting of the Common Council. The text of his. statements appear in part. below.
 'I propose to leave appoint mentS continue as is for the inn mediate future for two reasons. First, want to inquire fully intcy how we'll present city employees are doing the job. Second, will the City income stand $42, ,OO0 payroll in addition to other costs?
 Speaking to the first point those of you who have been on the. Council for a year or more are better acquainted with this than l am. Therefore, I am ask ing that each of you present in writing your judgment on each of them, including: City Clerk, City Attorney, Health Officer, Chief of Police, Patrolmen, Water Employee, Street Department Employee, and Fire Department. In making inquiries on what is expected of these employees, I find several answers.
 T am convinced that job description should be written for each job 50 that the employee will know what is expected of him and his supervisor will also know what to expect. A part of super vision is to be sure the employee knows what his job is and that he is qualified to do the job. He should have one, and only one, supervisor and he should know who that supervisor is. The su- perviSor should know what the job is and should be able to recog- nize satisfactory accomplishment
 Speaking to the second point can the City's income stand a $42,0O0 payroll? If it cannot, we have two choices to consider: one, reduce the number of employees; two, reduce salaries I believe we should consider both of these possibilities seriously and in-.lo- ing So we should carefully weigh the possibilities endangering the overall structure of government if cuts in quantity or quality of city employees are too severe.
 Present city employees have been on their job for a year or longer and I propose to leave them on the job for at least an- other two weeks.
 Planning Commission: As some of you know, I have been a member of the Planning Commits sion since it was first appointed by our first Mayor, Carl Meier. I know first hand the feeling of futihty which came with work ing up plans and recommenda-

Taxation With Misrepresentation
By HAROLD SALISBURY

Uncle Sam and the Missus had plenty of kids But reluctant adopted orphan, She big and her smiles radiated for miles Yet they Scoffed at her beauty and often, Her traits unknown but she grown They found she had riches untold And now- though of age, she's slave in cage As they rob her of jewels and gold
 Big Money and/or Washington
 The powers that be- anon,
 Drive Territorial Government
 Like Simon Legree did Tom Oh, Alaska is queen of Beauty and Joy But the pawn of the Scions of Greed, She is vast but her great resources relate To the steals that their deals have decreed Her virtues are valiant,- her ideals gallant And she longs to be wed,- as she should, For suitor entreats he knees at her feet, Son of Liberty hardy Statehood
 Big Money and/or Washington
 Pull the strings and many @boner
 Run Alaska's biz,- take the dough, that s
 Like the hungry whale took Jonah Oh, Alaska how long will the crooks do thee wrong? How long will thy rights be perverted By judges and Congressmen, lawyers and Jugs On payrols by insolence dirtied? As free as the breezes that thee sing And as true thy beauty is great May they fortunes obtain to give thee the gain Described within Freedoms Estate
 Then Big Money and/or Washington
 Shall their robbery
 And thou shalt rule thine household

 Alaska will not have a vacancy to the Air Force Academy in 1856, information to the contrary hav- ing been given earlier this year to Delegate Bartlett by the Air Force.
 In writing to him last week, the Air Force stated: Tt is sincerely regretted that the information which you received in regard to the class entering the Air Force Acadamey in 1856 was not cor rect"
 The law provides certain per- centage apportionment for en- trance into the new academy each year. "In order to comply with the apportionment," Bartlett was informed, vacancies have not been allocated to the District of Columbia, Territories of Hawaii and Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the Panama Canal Zone for the next class at the Air Force Acadamey.
 However, it is anticipated that the Territory of Alaska will be allocated vacancy for the class entering the academy in 1857.
 "The Air Force will be pleased to receive your nominations be- ginning in July 1856 for the class entering in 1857"
 Governors Salary
 Legislation which would raise the annual salary of the Governor of Alaska from $15,OOO to $19,O0O passed the House prior to ad- journment but the Senate failed to act on the measure to adjust the rates of compensation of the heads of the executive depart ments and of certain other federal government officials. The meas ure would establish the same $19,- 900 salary for the governors of Hawaii, the Virgin Islands and the Canal Zone.
 A tabulation shows that the lowest-paid state governor is that for Nevada at the annual rate of S7,6OO and the highest is for New York at $5O,OOO.

Legislation to provide an in centive for production of Alaska tin was reported favorably to the full Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee by it's Metals and Minerals Subcommittee be- fore Congress adjourned.
 The measure, introduced by Sen. Scott NC), is similar to revised bill introduced previously by Delegate Bartlett. Both bills would establish base price of $1.20 a pound for domestic placer tin and $1.35 pound for domes- tic lode tin, the major fields lying in the Seward Peninsula of Alas ka. The price of tin on the world market has been around 98 cents.
 It is felt by proponents of the legislation that guaranteed base price to provide an incentive for development of Alaska tin would establish stable industry to sup ply the domestic market should world conditions cut off supplies from Malaga, Bolivia and other tin-producing areas.
 The Mines and Mining subcom- mittee of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee held number of meetings on the origi- nal bill introduced by Delegate Bartlett, and it is expected that further action will be taken dur ing the early part of the second session of the 84th Congress which convenes in January
 The Senate and House bills pro- vide for the purchase of 10000 long tons of newly mined metallic tin in concentrates or for a period of not more than 10 years, which ever may be sooner.
 Geodetic Survey Ships
 A Senate bill authorizing con- struction of two ships designed especially for Alaska waters for use by the Coast and Geodetic Survey was approved by the House prior to congressional ad- iournment and sent to the White House for approval.
 The vessels are to be built at cost not to exceed $3,7000,00 each and are not to be over 2,500 dis placement tons each.
