Second Suit May Be Filed In M.E.A. Dispute

According to announcements in the two Anchorage daily news papers last night another court suit, pertaining to officers of the MEA, may be filed in Dis trict Court; this one to test the legality of the preesnt board of directors of the Matanuska Elec- tric Association.
 The news items quoted Mrs. Justine Parks, as saying her at torney will file suit in District Court to test the legality of the present board. She said R. B. Graham, who with Mrs. Parks is a disputed MEA director, will be co-plaintiff and she was quoted as saying a third, unidentified MEA member will also take part in the action.
 The suit will charge James J. Hurley, Harold Thuma, and c. Ivan Branton with "usurping and illegally holding office, Mrs. Parks was quoted as saying. This charge is similar to the one fil- ed against her and Graham in an earlier filing by James Frey, MEA member, following their re- fusal to give up their seats on the MEA board of directors af- ter the annual membership meeting in April. At that time they stated they felt the elec- ton held at the April 16 meet ing was not a valid election and for that reason refused to seat the above named three directors who were elected by the mem bership at the April meeting, and who were again elected by the membership at special meeting held in June.
 Following the June 16 special meeting Hurley, Thuma and Branton took office and have ben conducting MEA business along with board members Phil O'Neill of Sutton and Aaron Combs of Wasilla.
 The fact that suit was pend- ing at the time of the June Is meeting in which Mrs. Parks and Graham were charged with "usurping and illegally holding office, both felt that the special meeting could not be held and apparently for this reason do not feel that the second election was legal.
 It will be recalled that at the June Is meeting the MEA mem- bership voted authorization to John Shaw, attorney, to defend any action against the newly elected directors and to engage co-council. Attorney John Radar is filling this capacity on the An chorage scene.

Delinquent taxpayers To Face Court Action

In spite of a good return on delinquent taxes recently, there are number of tax payers re- maining that will shortly have to pay additional court and or publication charges, William Wakeland, tax collector in the City of Palmer and Palmer Inde- pendent School District, stated this week. A real property de linquent tax roll is being pre- pared now for publication in pre- paration for foreclosure proceed ings, he said.
 Personal property delinquent tax accounts are now being turn ed over to the attorney. The list is already in his hands. No fur ther notices will be sent by the tax office, Wakeland said. Any one having delinquent tax ac- counts are urged to contact Wakeland at his office at once to settle the account before be- ing handed summons and fore ed to pay additional court charges.
 A court judgement is a serious matter, he pointed out, permit ing attachment Of property or wages-a step now made neces- sary by direction of the School Board and the Palmer City Council to collect remaining de- linquent taxes.

portation was the 50 head flown in from northern Utah this sum- mer by Fred Grover and Bill Sisco. The Alaska Department of Agriculture's records show that as of January 1, 1856 there were 1400 head of mature cows and almost 900 young animals on Matanuska Valley farms.
 Milk is Alaska's most valu- able farm product, Commission CT Wilson pointed out. More than 12 million pounds having been produced in the Territory in 1855, with a farm value of two thirds million dollars. Alaska,s climate and soil are ideally suited to the production of for age crops, and dairy cattle thrive under good management, he stated.

NURSES NEEDED

Several recent reSlgnatlons from the nursing staff at the Valley Presbyterian Hospital have placed additional work loads on the remaining few, according to the Associations quarter report made this week.

Dairymen of the Matanuska Valley set a new record for milk production during the month of June when they delivered over one million pounds of milk to the two bottling plants in the area.
 This represents, Jim Wilson, commissioner of agriculture pointed out, an II percent in- crease over the month of May and 24 percent over June of 1855. Production is expected to decline from this high, he said, but will continue at least 20 percent above year ago.
 During the past year six new producers have started opera tions and many young cows have been imported to the valley. Per haps the most spectacular im-

According to the reports,

Rep. Lawrence Gibbs, author of

I steered the bill through the

II is not news that the Little
Leagues are aimed primarily
at youngsters who have not yet
reached their teens. Addie
takes 10 task the Little Leagues
for not being useful in the
preparation of these children as
future baseball prospects in
their teen years.
Parents of these children, un-
like the major league scouts who
think in commercial terms" do
not intend to have their children
play in the leagues for the pri-
mary purpose of developing them
into major league material. They
see in the leagues means
whereby their children can learn
sportsmanship, develop physical
Ily, and associate with healthy
companions. Too. the problem of
delinquency in a community is
lessened with Little League pro-
gram.
On the other hand, there is q
definite need for promoting &C.
tivity for feen.sga boys In the
field Of sports. Many Catholic
high schools encourage parfici-
patton in baseball and other
sports, and do an admirable
Job. II is from q sports program
that youths learn the value OF
cooperation and the 10y Of &C.
eomplishment. Taen-sse pro-
grams of this sort should be
pursued.
The Little Leagues, however,
are doing q worthy job. They in
still in the children the 'love of
the game" While the organizers
of the leagues would be proud to
see some of their boys develop
into good players, still they do
not insist that the leagues be used
as a pattern for a lifetime career.
1t is the individual boy who
makes his own choice.
Addie has some good points in
his statements. He, at least, is
earnest about his ideas on the
proper development of youth. But
the Little Leagues should not be
called a "waste of time" Just
ask the boys who play in them.

Who Says Little League Ball
Is q Big Waste of Time?

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Some
critics claim that the wave of
juvenile delinquency around the
country proves that something is
taking the place of athletics. In
answer to this there are those
who believe that youngsters
should be encouraged from the
early sub-teen years to par
ticipate in Little League base
ball. But Bob Addie of the
Washington Post and Times Her
aid does not agree.
He claims that Little League
baseball is waste of time" He
does not, however, want to incur
the wrath of the youngsters and
the staunch advocates of the
league with this opinion. He gives
his reasons. He said he found that
major league scouts throughout
the country say that the main
reason for the dearth of good,
young ball players is that the
teen-agers do not seem To play
baseball any more.
Most of these gentlemen"
said Addie. who make . busi-
ness OF finding talent, agree
that the Little Leagues are not
the answer TO their problems.
The scouts are thinking of the
situation in commercial terms.
Its not the sub-teeners who
cause most of the trouble" he
said. "Yet we have now had the
Little Leagues in existence long
enough for these boys to have
progressed to their teens and
juvenile delinquency keeps grow
ing"
Adde'S solution to the problem
would be ito take the emphasis
off the Little League and concen-
trate on providing the maximum
recreation facilities and oppor-
tunities for teen-agers.
Somebody ought to start a
campaign to bring back the sand
lot leagues" he said. "Of course,
there are some throughout
the country but hardly
enough. When a boy gets to his
mid-teens, nobody seems to pro-
vide for him."
He said that a notable excep-
tien" is the Catholic Youth Or
ganization, and pointed out that
CY0 programs offer teen-agers a
well-balanced area of activity.
