 The central office and the business office will be located in Palmer. Sub-stations are being constructed at Sutton, Wasilla and Chugiak. Each area will have an exchange name and methods to be followed in call ing from one exchange to an- other will be announced at lat CT date.
 At the present time around TOO subscribers are listed in the new system. Within six months after the system is cut over We antic- ipate another 200 subscribers 7 Partridge said and speculated that the peak of ,000 subscribers will be reached by next summer.
 Equity payments have been coming in better, Partridge said, but emphasized the need to have payments completed before the system is cut over.
 Anyone who has not applied for service will have to expect service if and when available, :" the MTA manager pointed out. We are in business to give ser vice wherever possible and will give this service where possible, :" he said. He pointed out that where the cables run close to the applicants property the problem of extending service is minute. However, he pointed out, long rural runs present problems and the extension of service in these areas to those not now planned for, may be delayed

Alice goes homeland suddenly
The sunlight, too, is gone.
Gone are the fopers and songs

And iDe are left dlone:-
Alone - Without her happy

Without her lopely face.
Without her sparkle and her
zest,
Her loydity-her grace.
For her. the rose OF memory

Planted. these many years,
NotD it Is nurtured by our loUe
And iDdtered BY our tears.
For her, in memory, iDe sing
A requiem, today.

Goes on her shining tDdy.
With yedrnino tenderness, she

With prayers from Everyone

Beautiful as a DeStern star
She journeys silently dt1r.
For those Uho to her heart
