Asks Land Withdrawal Near Knik River

The Bureau of Land Manage ment announced today that it has requested withdrawal of 31.5 acres to be reserved as a public service site. Located about 35.5 miles northeast of Anchorage, this secenic spot fronts on both the Glenn Highway and Knik River. Except when the river is in flood stage this area is favor ably situated for public camping, picnicing and other recreation al activities and will assure pub lie access to the river.
 Harold T. Jorgenson, acting area administrator, in Anchorage, said that this proposed withdraw al is in keeping with past Bureau policy in recommending reserva- ton of small public recreation areas for Alaskans. There has been high use of similar areas at Eagle River and Peters Creek and demand for other areas has been increasing, Jorgenson said.

Colony Day; Available Building Dicussed by
 Chamber of Commerce

Roy Casey of the Alaska Jail System scheduled speaker for the January 19 Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting was unable to get to Palmer for the meeting but has been re- scheduled for the February IT meeting of the local Chamber.
 James Hurley gave a brief re- port on his and other Chamber members visit to the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce or Mon day of this week in observance of Palmer Day in that city. Hur- ley suggested that plans be made for similar meeting in Palmer, designating an Anchorage Day for Chamber members of that city.
 President Everett Adams pro- posed that in-as-much as the local Chamber embraces the en- tire valley, meetings be held oc- casionally in the Wasilla, Sutton, and Butte areas.
 Chamber members approved the proposal that a letter be writ ten to the Territorial Legislature urging the confirmation of James Wilson as Commissioner of Agri- culture, and asking consideration of the Governor of Alaska in ap- pointing V. Louise Kellogg to fill a vacancy on the University of Al aska board of regents.
 Plans for the Colony Day cele- bration to be held this Spring will get under way in the near future. President Adams appoint ed a committee consisting of Richard Jones, Stewart Durrant, James Hurley, Jan Koslosky, and Lucille Mick to formulate plans, including the date, prizes and other plans for the popular Val ley event.

MTA CONSTRUCTION EXPECTED TO BEGIN BY EARLY SPRING

The $16,65O goal of the Matan- uska Telephone Association has been fulfilled to the point where Lew Hanks, MTA chairman, this week told Chamber of Com merce members that the long, dreamed-of, modern dial tele phone system for the entire Ma tanuska Valley area will be a thing of reality in close future, with early Spring forseen for the start of construction.
 To date over $14,OOO has been collected, with additional pled- ges which will bring the final to- tai over the top. The necessary number of memberships have been exceeded, he said.
 As soon as mapping and other necessary paper work is complet- ed, they will be sent to Washing ton, D. c. for final approval, after which preliminary work can be- gin on purchase of materials, call for bids, and other work that will assure an early start on construc- ton this Spring. Hanks stated that he felt that the association would be in position to call for con- struction bids the latter part of May or early June.
 Because the system was origin ally planned around 400 users, telephone rates will in all pro- bability be lower than anticipated because $50 signers have already been obtained. By surpassing our goal in membership, we feel it will be reflected in reduced rat es'', Hanks said. We hope they will be as low or lower than present city rates, he added.
 Clifford Goettings, REA official who spent several days in Pal mer assisting in the formulation of data, returned to his Washing ton office last week. Prior to his departure he expressed his plea sure in the cooperation of the en- tire community in obtaining the equity stock and membership sales.
