EQUIPMENT COMPANY FAILS TO MEET DATE

The cut-over date for the new Matanuska Telephone Associa- ton system has been delayed sev- erai weeks, it was announced this week by Robert Partridge, MTA manager.
 The delay is being caused by the failure Of the Kellogg Swift chboard and Supply Company to deliver the central office equip ment in the time specified in the contract, he said. Word was first received in Palmer from the firms representative in An ehorage that shipping dates were being delayed. Several weeks were spent trying to get firm commitments from the firm and the last word received in the Palmer office was that equip ment for the Palmer office would be shipped November 30 The contract called for October 21 delivery and the contract has been in violation since that date. The wire indicated that Pa1mer's cut-over date would be in Janu- ary or February, however, Part ridge said this week that 1t now looks like the cut=over will not take place before spring because of the delay in shipping. 4 pen atty clause i'll the contract guar antees the MIA loss of estimat- ed revenue after November 21, the date Palmer would have been ent-ovef, plus any extra labor costs due to direct or indirect violation Of the contract.
 When it first became evident that Kellogg was not going to fulfill on their shipping date MTA attempted to change manu- featuring firms. At that time REA indicated they thought it would be disadvantage and refused to approve change.
 No reason has ben given the Matanuska Telephone Associa- tion for the delay in shipping.
 In an effort to ease the ineon- venience this delay might cause to subscribers in the immediate rural area, MIA plans as soon as preliminary work is complet- ed, to connect new outside plant wires into the presently manu- ally operated board. Work will be started to tie in rural lines where practical and possible to the old board, Partridge said. He added that the work will have to be done on an impartial basis and that there will be some

kEA CFewman Victim Fatal Accident

Funeral services for Jack G. Wilson, 54, will be held in Anch- orage next week by the Interna. tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Of which Wilson was a member. Following the services his body will be shipped to Seat tie where interment will take place. It is planned that his body will be accompanied by Cy Brew CT, MEA manager and Phil O. Neill, MEA president, and Mrs. O'Neiil. He is survived by a bro- ther who makes his home in Seat tie.
 Wilson was killed on October 30 when he touched 7200-volt line while working with the MEA crew on the Fingerlake Road. First-aid and safety training, a longtime part Of MEAS safety policy, was put to use immed- lately by Wilson's fellow crew. men and physician was sum- moned, along with the commun- ity ambulance Although continu- ed attempts were made to revive him, he was pronounced dead a short time after being taken to the valley hospital.
 This was the first fatal acci- dent experienced by the Matan= uska Electric Association in it's entire history. IL was reported that Wilson had failed to don his rubber safety gloves before work ing near the live line. Whether he slipped and grabbed the wire or just how the accident happen ed was not determined. He was pulled down from the wire by a crew member and attempts to re- vive him were started at once.
 The Palmer Funeral Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
 In commenting about the ac- cident Cy Brewer, MEA manag- CT, said he would like to thank those who gave assistance, in- cluding Bill Smith, who should be recognized for his bravery in removing Wilson from the line, with blue fire over the pole, equipment and the victim. Smith, Phil McRae, Stan Lowe and Ralph Moore brought him down and ap- piled artificial respiration, con tinuing until he reached the emergency room at the hospital. Also to Dr. C. c. Bailey, Brewer said, for his immediate and con- tinued assistance and the immed- fate action of Bernie BouWens in taking the ambulance and assist ing. Also Drs. Bailey and Bur- nett who continued resuscitation efforts after Wilson was in the hospital. From the start to fin ish 1 can imagine no better chance to live than the one given Jack. If I, personally, get into it sometime l hope that I can be in the hands of the same group. That's the highest commenda- ton I can think Of, Brewer added.
