TAX EXEMPT HEARING HELD HERE; SEEK RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations from the City of Palmer and the Palmer Independent School District will be required before any decision can be made by the Board of Administration regarding the ap- plication of the Matanuska Val ley Farmers Cooperating Associa- ton for tax exemption under the new Territorial Act, chapter 129. This statement was made by Al Anderson of Juneau, an admin istrator of the Board who con- d1cted a public hearing in Pal raer on November 21. The rec concentrations are to specify the amount and type of tax relief to be applied.
 Anderson was introduced to the audience by James Wilson, ter ritorial commissioner of agricul- ture. Attending the meeting were representatives of the Coop, Palmer City Council, Palmer Board of Education, Tax Asses sor's Office, Alaska Department of Agriculture, and other inter ested individuals.
 In reviewing the application of the Coop for tax exemption un- der Chapter 129, SLA, Anderson brought out statements of the Coop that the grain elevator and dryer, for which they seek tax exemption from the territory and local taxing units, was put in op- eration in September, 1857. The estimated valuation of the plant ard equipment is $75, 900 and the land approximately $500. Two employees will be used on a per- raanent basis and the operation will be conducted the year around. The payroll was estimat- ed at $40, GOO; coal to be consum- evl would be about PTS tons and that $25, 1000 worth of grain would be purchased in the first year.
 Stewart Durrant, general man ager of the Coop, reported that the elevator is filled to capacity, fact that was not anticipated m the first year of operation, and that additional storage space will be needed next year. He pointed out the elevator was

When we speak of aThe Horn of Plenty" We think of the Pilgrims in 1920. They crossed the ocean in the Mayflower It took them weeks days, and many an hour. When they saw the shore, and finally landed, They thanked the Lord for not being stranded They planted crops and built homes of log, And lived through storm and all the fog They planted wheat and oats, and rye The Pilgrims wives made pumpkin pie- The Pilgrims hunted turkeys, and raised some geese And with the Indians they made peace The Indians went to church with them And prayed to the Lord and sang sweet hymns So when we speak of the Pilgrims in 1920 We thank Thee, Lord, for AThe Horn of Plenty,

Witnesses Protest Red
Slave Labor Camps

Charging that Soviet officials
may perhaps be found fighters
actually against God" a strong
ly worded letter of protest from
officials of the Watch Tower
Bible and Tract Society, legal
governing body of Jehovah'S Wit
nesSeS, has been sent to Premier
Nil1olai A. Bulganin Of the u. S.
S. r.
Bonnie Crump, presiding min
lister Of the Miami West Unit
congregation of Jehovah'S Wit
nesseS, in announcing the con-
tents of the letter, cited the whole
sale arrests and mass movements
of Jehovah's Witnesses to Slave
labor camps in Siberia.
'For MANY years now" Bonnie
Crump quoted the letter as say
ing, "Jehovah's Witnesses within
the Soviet Union have endured
great difficulties and heavy per-
secution. They have constituted
committees and delegations from
among their own ministers for
the purpose of registering their
religious organizations according
to the statutes in force, but on
each occasion they have been re-
buffed and instead of being al
lowed to register their Christian
organization they have had min
listers in the delegations arrest
ed"
The letter was written to ac-
company a composite petition that
had been adopted over a period
of nine months by a total Of
1928 of Jehovah's Witnesses,
meeting in 1919 assemblies thru
out the world.
1t called attention to the 1000
Jehovah'S Witnesses known to be
in slave camps in the Soviet
Union and, requesting their re-
lease, proposed that a delegation
be permitted to proceed from the
Society's headquarters in Brook
1yn, N. Y, to Moscow to fully &C
quaint the Soviet government
with the true aims and purposes
of Jehovah'S Witnesses.

Milford chronicle., 1957-11-15

1t was truly an exciting day at
the CAP Pack Memorial Building
last Sunday during the Search and
Rescue practice All members were
on hand at 500 a. m. awaiting
word from Delaware Wing that a
plane was down. Suddenly the mes
sage came in on the radio, which
was manned by Communications
Officer Ed Salevan, and the search
was on.
The Milford Squadron sent up
three planes in the search piloted
by Ike Orvis, Howard Brown and
Ray Caufman, and the cadets serv-
ed very commercially as a ground
rescue team. Due to crosswinds
at the Drummond Field, all planes
had to move their operations to
Brubaker Field in Dover.
The Target was discovered in
Clayton, Delaware and the prac-
tice was over at 1:10 p. m.
The one casualty of the day was
Major Michael Groverman of the
Milford Squadron, who had. to be
taken from his post to the hospital
for an emergency operation.
All CAP members had to forego
their Sunday worship for this
search and rescue mission, but
have feeling that one higher up
will not frown upon any who took
part in this practice for the future
saving of lives and property.
