PALMER'S NAME
 DETER MINED BY MANY READERS

We'll, it's now the consensus of opinion that the present city of Palmer was named after George Palmer early time operator of a Trading Post in the valley vicin- ity.
 Several interesting eomn1uni- cations have been received by The Frontiersrnan in response to an article which appeared in the January 12 issue in which MT. Faust Palmer of Ocean Park, was quoted as believing the city was named after him in 1923 or 1924.
 The majority of those who wrote in agreed that George Pal mer came to the area many years before Faust Palmer-that he operated at Trading Post at Knik that Palmer Slough and Pal mer Canyon were named after him, as we'll as the city.
 The Frontiersman expresses it's thanks for the response to the question of how Palmer got it's name.

PLANNING COMM. TO PRESENT
 PROPOSAL FEB. g

A public hearing will be held February at City Hall for all city residents interested in the proposed zoning of the City of Palmer.
 The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm. and all interested persons are urged to attend and partic- ipate in the discussion pertaining to the business, residential, and public use zoning areas of the city.
 The City Planning Commission has made an extensive study of the city and has come up with eight specific proposals as to how the city could be zoned. The proposal is advertised in another section of The Frontiersman. If the proposals are receptive to the public, they will eventually become law.
 The Commission has recom- mended to the City Council that the City make every effort after adopting a zoning plan to make information available to the gen eral public of the fact that the City of Palmer is zoned and that the zoning law will be enforced. This is an absolute necessity, they pointed out, to avoid hard feelings and loss to individuals who may wish to come into Pal mer to enter into business, or to buy property for residential pur- poses.
 This warning, they feel, should eliminate those situations which result from a person buying pro- perty and then finding that they cannot use 1t for the purpose for which it was purchased.

new novel by the author of
''Mr. Adam" is a thriller
about an impending atomic
war.
In a year not specified, but
evidently not far in the future.
Russia has decided to strike
the United States with hydro
gen bombs, to be launched
from a fleet of submarines.
There is no warning, but an
ultra hush group at the Pen
tagon, known as Intentions of
the Enemy. has collected
enough scattered information
to feel certain what's going to
happen. The group, consisting
of seven persons, one wom-
an, representing various civil
and military sections Of the
Government, tries to warn the
high brass. But the seven have
no authority, their function is
advisory and the big boys won't
listen. It's Pearl Harbor all
over.
We've learned. before this,
that a Soviet sub sneaked into
a Florida coast and landed
several men-saboteurs trained
for years in the language and
ways of this country. Some
of them enlist in the Air Force,
