MIA Seeks Stop of Military and Other
 Telephone Installation

Copies of a Matanuska Tele- phone Association resolution were last week sent to several Federal offices, the U. s. Army of Alaska, Governor Frank Hein- tzleman and others in regards communication facilities, other than MTA, being planned, oper- ated, or constructed in the oper- ating area of the ,Matanuska Tele- phone Association.
 The resolution points out that residents of the Matanuska Val ley, Wasilla, Matanuska, Knik. Jonesville, Bodenburg, Parks vile, Goat Creek, Sutton, Birch wood, Chugiak, Eagle River and parts adjacent thereto have band ed together to construct and op- crate their own telephone and communication system as the MTA. It points out that equity funds have ben raised; an REA loan secured; the MTA has been defined and delineated by the U. S. Government; is presently operating a telephone system as a legal recognized entity; that such expansions and improve ments as have been approved by REA will provide telephone and other communication service to all of the peoples who have shown interest and a need for such services. It further points out that contracts have been let and equipment, material and sup plies are being and have been purchased to supply such ser vices.
 Attention is drawn to the fact that the local telephone rate schedule is based upon the re- quired capital expenditures and the income to be derived there from. In the past, the communi- que goes on, all governmental agencies, both Federal. Territor-

WATER SYSTEM AND STREET PAVING TO BENEFIT

Tax assessment rates on real and personal property in the City of Palmer and the Palmer Independent School District have been raised for the coming year, it was announced this week. Tax assessments in the city will be at the rate of Is mills and in the school district, II mills.
 The city assessment will pro- vide II mills for school purposes, the balance of five mills will be collected for city improvements, limited to the water debt ser vice and street grading and paw ing.
 The tax rates were set follow ing the approval of the annual school budget which was pre- sented at the May 2 meeting of the City Council Earlier bud get figures had indicated that it would be necessary to go to 12 mills in the school district. How ever, changes were made in the assessment roll when several ae- counts were picked up by the as- sessor and the needed mill rate was dropped to 11..
 City council members discuss ed the budget as thoroughly as time would permit with Lew Hanks of the board of education and Councilman Zahradnicek, school superintendent. The nec- essity of raising the tax rate this year has long been evident to council members. During the winter over $7,000 was spent on the city water system in ti1aw- ing and repair work. To meet an- nual payments for the water system and maintain it at the same time it was very evident that the city would have to go to the residents for taxes with which to operate the water sys- tenn. The dust problem in the city has been a subject for dis cussion since the City of Palmer was incorporated five years ago. Various means for combating the dust were tried without any permanent resulting relief. Street paving seems the only way out of a condition that grows worse instead of better.
 AS much as we hate to see the tax rates go up in the city, we feel that inasmuch as the in- crease will be used to better our city facilities, mainly our streets. the average tax payer will go along with the increase, said a council member who is one of the city's large property owners.

MEMORIAL DAY
IN FLANDERS FIELD By Colonel John McCrae

IN FLANDERS HELL
 By Colonel John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies
 blow Between the crosses, row on row. That mark our place: and in the
 sky The larks still bravely singing
 fly, Scarce heard amidst the guns
 below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt
 dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now
 we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we
 throw ~iAl The Torch-be yours to hold it
 high; If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though pop
 pies grow In Flanders fields.

A plug of correct heat range win
stay clean by burning away oil that
normally gets on it. If the plug
is too cold, however, the oil is not
burned away as it should be, and
eventually the plug is heavily
crusted with carbon.
From H. B.: my entire fuel
system, manifold heat valve,
starter. plugs, points have been
checked and a new battery and
regulator installed, yet my car
still refuses to start If the engine
Is hot. Since vapOr lock remedies
didn't help, I've been assured
that isn't the trouble, either.
When the engine is cold, there is
no difficulty in starting"

it's uncommon, the coli can fail

Often, trouble under these cir

By EUGENE MILMoE

In a brand-new engine. oil con-
sumption is not at its lowest until
parts wear to a good seat-then,
after many thousands OF miles OF
wear engine oil demands are stepped
up again. In between. there are
many reasons for poor oil mileage.
It's often the fault of the motor
list himself. If he fills up with
cheap, low-grade oil, he is bound to
find his engine using more than 1t
should. High-speed driving and an
overheating engine will also deny
him good oil mileage-so will an
overf1lled crankcase.
Oil is very often lost through
defective gasketS and seals. Such
leaks sometimes go undetected be-
cause inspection is not made at the
right time-that is. when the engine
is running at normal operating
temperatures. Other fairly COM
mon causes of loss include defec-
tive vacuum pump diaphragm. oil
dilution. a clogged filter and late
valve timing.
