Valley Youths Driving License Revoked for 6 Months

A 16-year-old Valley youth was relieved of his drivers li- cense this week, following the recommendations of the City Magistrate. James Albert Cottrill, who was accompanied by his mother, was brought before the Magistrate in an effort to deter mine disposition of his case without a court trial. He had been cited by City Police on a reckless driving incident which occurred August 2.
 Following the recommendation of the City Magistrate, the youths mother agreed to revoke her sons driving license, for which she had signed, for peri od of six months. In addition the youth is to make daily reports to the City Magistrate concern ing his activities for a period of 30 days.
 City Attorney John Shaw pointed out the leniency permit ted the youth, in as much as a reckless driving charge carries penalties of up to $1,000 fine, up to 5O days in Jail or both.
 Members of the City Council and the City Police Department are conducting a concerted drive to stop speeding in the city. The complete cooperation and aSsiS- tance of parents has been asked by all city officials. Through the help of the parents, as shown today, we know that we will be able to cope with the situation" one police official stated. Other violators may not be so lucky in their penalty, he added.
 City police have offered to work with the parents-or with the boys thenselves-in any way possible. Some of the young sters think we are fooling, that we can't do anything to them, but this is not So', he said. We don't want to give tickets to these youngsters but it is our job and we, by law, may do so" he added.
 During the hearing it was brought out that any formal court trial becomes a permanent record and as such would be against a boy attempting to enter the Armed Services.

MEA May Lend '15,OO0 To Power Association

The MatanuSka Electric ASSo- citation has been requested to lend the sum of $15,000 to the Central Alaska Power Associa- ton, it was disclosed this week. Members of the board of direc~ tors during a meeting held last Friday voted to seek approval of the loan from the Rural Electri- fication Administration in Wash ington D. c. One board member Charles Wilson) was absent; one other (Aaron CombS) voted against seeking approval of the loan.
 The local electric association is a signatory member of CAPA and previously loaned the Gen. tral Alaska Power Association the sum of $25,000 This money is being used, along with monies loaned from other associations for exploratory investigation in seeking a new power site at Copper Lake. This first loan of $25,0O0 by the Matanuska Elec- tric Association to CAPA was ap- proved by the REA.
 Although no interest charge is being made on the $25,000 loan, or will be made on the $15,000 loan if permission is granted by REA, a spokesman for MEA stat ed this week that the loans will be justified by the improvements of Alaskan areas-if the investi- gations prove the Cooper Lake project to be feasible.
 Providing the project is found feasible, the monies loaned to CAPA will be returned to MEA and other associations, by the Rural Identification Administra- ton, the spokesman said. If the project does not prove feasible, the money in all probability will not be returned.

VALLEY SCENES TO APPEAR IN NATIONAL MAGAZINE z

The Matanuska Valley will be part of featured article which will appear in future issue of the National Geographical Mag azine, according to Robert Moore, photographer who was in Palmer and the area on July 29.
 Moore was conducted on his tour of the Valley by Don L. Irwin, Alaska Agriculture Ex- pertinent Station. All phases of Territorial operations mining, fishing, agriculture - everything in industrial development, is be- ing featured in the article.
 On his Valley tour, during which he took many pictures, he visited a number of farms, the Coop Creamery, various stores and gathered a number of pie lures of dairy animals and farm scenes. How many of these will actually be used is difficult to say, Mir. Irwin said this week. Moore specnlated that the article would probably appear in the Magazines June, 1856 issue.

Following a lengthy discussion on the dust problem within the city, Council members decided that at times throughout the week, whenever the dust pre- sents problem, the city streets will be watered. During this time, work on the rock crusher will be postponed to later date.

Glen Darlington
 Is Chamber Speaker

Members of the MatanuSka Valley Chamber of Commerce were privileged to hear speak CT during their August 3 meeting who has had a long and active part in Chamber of Commerce activities in Alaska and the Northwest. Glen Darlington of Seattle was the guest of Stuart Durrant, Coop manager, and spoke to local Chamber members on the important part Chambers of Commerce play in the devel- oprnent of industries and areas.
 Tn speaking to the group Car rington told of the growth of the Pacific Northwest Trade ASSo- citation. Tn the early days of the Alaska Highway many problems of where the route would be es- tabliShed were worked out through mutual work of the Trade Associations and Cham Der of Commerce. During a Van couver Board of Trade meeting it was suggested that closer CO., operation between the Board and the Seattle Chamber of Com merce would help in the develop ment of the entire area. At the time the Pacific Northwest Trade Association was formed and at the last meeting over 400 per sons were present.
 Darlington suggested that all Chamber of Commerce projects be cleared through the All Al aska Chamber of Commerce to get territory-wide support.
 Stuart Durrant, chairman of the Produce Week campaign, re- ported no definite word has been received from Fairbanks, where the idea originated. However, if the Panama Valley does not plan to hold the special observation, Durrant suggested that the local Chamber go along with their plans and promote the buy-at- home campaign, featuring Alas kan grown produce during the last week of August and through the Matanuska Valley Fair time. Although time is limited this year, Durrant pointed out, I be- lieve that the campaign could be carried over into an annual event, enlarged each year, and carried out Territory-wide

 Hope for Rides
 Amusement rides for the 1855 Matanuska Valley Fair are prac- tically assured, board members learned at a meeting this week. Final agreements are yet to be negotiated, they pointed out, but it appears now that rides will be a part of the Fair.
 George Kincaid of Browning, Montana, has indicated to AL fred Hagen, fair manager, that he wants to bring his rides and concessions to Alaska and will set them up at the Fair in Sep tennber. A wire of acceptance and price quotations was immediate ly sent to Kincaid by the fair manager who is now awaiting a final reply from the concession owner.
 Eliminate Dining Room
 For the first time in several years, the dining room in Build ing No. l will not be in operation this year. The decision was made by the board of directors, fol- lowing a call for bids on the din ing room. There was only one hi6 submitted to the board. Fol lowing a discussion it was decid- ed that inasmuch as additional display space is at premium this year, it would be more feasible to utilize the space for display than to go through the expense of leasing out the dining room Ample food concession stands will be scattered throughout the midway during the three-day Fair and officials feel that with five restaurants in town the din- ing room is not an absolute nec- eSsity.
 Planning Parade
 What will probably be the lar gest parade in the history of Pal mer is in the making and will be titled a Parade of Transpor- tation". Letters will be mailed this week to all local firms and organizations urging their partic- patton in the parade. Details of the parade will be worked out but it is tentatively planned to
