Anchorage Chamber
Backs Local Mental
Health Committee

The Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce, through its board of
directors, this week voted to sup
port the Matanuska Valley Men
tai Health Hospital steering COM
mittee's request to DR.. Charles
Hayman that a meeting be held
before the final decision is made
for the location of mental health
hospital in Alaska.
Four members of the steering
committee, James Hurley, Rich
ard Jones, Ed Smith and Marvin
Slaughter attended the Anchor
age Chambers meeting this past
Monday. The committees reqeust
asks that DR.. Hayman, acting
commissioner of health, meet
with the steering committee be-
fore final plans are made. 1t is
the hope of the committee that
they will be able to show the adj
vantages in locating such a hos
pital away from large urban
areas, such as Anchorage or Fair
banks.
The letter sent to DR.. Hayman
was in part as follows; " v. the
people of the Matanuska Valley
are concerned over the apparent
lack of consideration given by the
Alaska Department of Health to
the location of the Alaska Mental
Health Hospital in other than ur-
ban areas Nj" The letter contain
ed several reasons why the COM
mittee feels such consideration
must be given to the chosen site.
In requesting the meeting Dir. G.
G. Bailey, chairman of the steer
ing committee, wrote DR.. Hay
man, g. we believe that your
department, as a unit of our ter
ritorial governemnt, owes this
community, as well as other peo-
pie of Alaska, an explanation as
to why the foregoing advantages
should not be sufficient to estab-
lish the hospital outside of urban
Anchorage or Fairbanks"

STUDENTS TO "H0LD
Office" ON MAY |

On Wednesday, May l, the en-
tire Order of Elks will unite IN
the observance of Elks National
Youth Day. In Palmer the Elks
lodge plans a full day of events
during which high school stu
dents will sit in on all offices
and positions of the city govern
ment and operation. In addition
two territorial police officers"
will be named to serve in that
position on that day.
Youth Day is an Elk affair and
is held to honor young people for
their achievements and contribu-
tions to the democratic way Of
life.
The theme Of this years Elks
National Youth Day is Lets
Make it American" Guided by
that slogan, the program will be
planned to clearly demonstrate
democracy's aims for its youth:
to encourage their individuality,
initiative and leadership ability
and to aid them in every way in
the development of their God
given talents so that they may be
better equipped to assume the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship in a
free society. 1t will show how this
contrasts wildly with the regi-
mented brain washing by which
communism seeks to fashion all
youth into factless and spiritless
pawns of the state.
Plans for the National Youth
Day program include a procla-
nation by Palmer's mayor, Char
les Wilson; organizing student
government day giving youths an
opportunity to sit in with local
officials for the day; arranging
public meeting and other plans
which will be announced as the
program progresses.
