He also point, ed out the fact that licensed guides are responsible, under their license, for the actions and care of game of their hunting parties. He stated he was offer ing no opposition to the propos. al, merely pointing out some Well-knoWH facts. He reminded the sportsmen that the game is their own.
 In the seasons on game ami malls the sportsmen offered one recommendation in regard to changes and went along with a recommendation of FWS that the goat limit be set at one through out the territory and that the brown and grizzly bear season OG GAOoCO HI Ol4AIS lD, 1T, dIlSA 1O from March 31 to May 6.

 The sportsmen recommended that the mountain sheep season be extended 10 days, with the season to run from August 20 to September 20. Larson reported the FWS is proposing a short sheep season on the Kenai Pen insula this year.
 Because of a big winter kill of bison Larson said that FWS does not forsee season this year.

Would Eliminate Licensed Guides for Non-Resident Game Hunters

The elimination of requiring li- cenSed guides for nonresident hunters was the major recom- mendatiOn made by sportsmen of the Valley at the annual game hearing held by the Fish and Wildlife Service in Palmer last night. The recommendation by the sportsmen was spelled out to mean that nonresident hunt CTS would be required to pur- chase the nonresident hunting license but would no longer be required to be accompanied by a licensed guide. However, the advocates of the change recon mended if the present. require ment is lifted that a clause be added whereby all nonresident hunters must be accompanied by 8 validly licensed Alaskan who has at least five years residence ln the territory.
 Holgar Larsen, enforcement agent with FWS, pointed out that it has been estimated that last year 10000 persons travelled in and out of Alaska. He pointed out that by allowing a non-resi-

ed against the city's one-half one-third of the total. Tn other words, the city may pay for part of it's share in kind.
 To help small cities, which otherwise could not afford the service of a trained city planner, the Housing Act provides for the designation of state agency which will handle the planning function for the cities. Tn Alas ka the Alaska Housing Author ity is the designated planning agency. Kumb's technical assist ance is made available to several cities so that the cost to any one city is not prohibitive.
 The cost of the program over a years period was estimated at about $4,000 and the planning commission voted to request the City Council to allow $2,0O0 in the 1956-57 budget for the city's share. This amount was consid- cred adequate for full years work, although the program may not be approved before March.
 After hearing of city needs and resources the planning officials outlined some of the subplans which will be included in the comprehensive plan. First will be a (present) land use plan which members of the planning com

OVERALL PLANNING SLATED FOR CITY

Members of the Palmer City Planning Commission at their December 20 meeting moved a little closer to their years-long goal of developing comprehen- sive plan for the City of Palmer. People of Palmer will be given a chance to hear of the proposed planning at public meeting scheduled for Thursday evening, January 9 in the high school cafeteria.
 Meeting with the commission at the invitation of Mayor Char les Wilson, members of the City Council and the Planning Com mission were Elmer Gagnon, di- rector of the Alaska Housing Authority, and John Kumb, city planner and AHA technical as- SiStant.
 They explained the federal pro- gram for city planning under Section 701 of the Housing Act of 1854 under which the federal government pays for half the cost of developing a comprehen- sive plan for community, and the city pays the second half. Any city-paid help or volunteer assistance on the part of Plan ming Commission members util- ized in the development Of vari- ous phases of the plan is credit

moose season.
 Other changes being proposed by FWS and sanctioned by the SpOrtSmen is the clarificatiOn of ''Wanton destruction of wild food animals" (Sec. 39-8-1 ACLA 1949) and the clarification of the des- cription of Unit ? (Seward).
 Accompanying Larson to the Palmer meeting were Roger Al len and Ray Baxter, fish biolo- gists; Ronald Skoog and Bob Rauch, Wildlife biologists; Avrill Thayer and Rudy Switzer, game management; and Sgt. Orville Frazier and Sgt. James Way, mil itary conservation officers.
 The biologists reported on work and findings of their re- spective departments. Baxter re- ported that rainbow trout appar- ently are standing up well and no changes are proposed in this area. Rauch stated there is somewhat of a shortage of bull moose in the valley area, with about 10 bulls to every 100 cows. However, he said, the calf ratio Is better here than elsewhere. He said the ratio in the Talkeetna- Wasilla area is from 3O-4O bulls per 100 cows yet the production rate is lower than in the valley He said the Sevice is concerned with the rate of moose killed by trains and spoke of a program being worked on jointly by the the FWS and the Alaska Railroad in an attempt to ease the situa- ton.
 Skoog reported that the cari- bou season which opened August 20 was slow in getting under way, with only 584 caribou taken in the Nelchina area from open ing day until September 3. By the end of September and into Octo- Der the caribou were quite num- erous and 1900 were taken in

Truck Operators Reminded of ''jse Tax" Due Date

District Director of Internal Revenue William E. Frank has called the attention of truck op- orators to the fact that city streets, state roads, and all other public ways are considered to be public highways for purposes of the new Federal fuse tax" which went into effect last July l. Frank said that this tax applies to the use on the public highways in the United States of highway motor vehicles hav- ing a taxable gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds. Thus, he explained, the tax applies in the case of these vehicles even if they are operated solely within city, town, or other metropoli- tan area.
 The first return Of this tax is due by January 31, 1857. The re- turn should cover vehicles used in July, August, September, Oc- tober, or November, 1856. Form 2290 October 1956) is the return form to be used. Frank said that copies of the return form may be obtained from his office, 905 2nd Avenue Building, Seattle 4, Washington.

ALASKANS ENJOYING MILD WEATHER

Along with much of Alaska the valley has been enjoying rath- CT balmy weather the past week or so and the weatherman pre- diets that it may hold another couple of days. With the below zero readings on the east coast and in the central states, the val ley's temperature which has gone up to at least 30 degrees above for several days doesn't sound much like the Hand of ice and snOw' our stateside cousins often picture.

 A capital improvements budget will be determined by study of financial resources and a survey of present capital improvements together with estimated need for improvements over a number of years. Still another phase of the overall plan will consider the housing of the area with the ob- ject of determining whether or not the city might benefit by an urban renewal project. Director Gagnon explained that before a community may embark on an urban renewal project it is nee cessary to have a comprehensive plan for the city's development such as the one proposed for Palmer. Several Alaskan cities already have embarked on urban renewal projects, to attract indus ty and new developments to their communities.
 Members of the planning com mission were most enthusiastic about the program. They were

 It was decided that a public meeting would be held to ac- quaint Palmer citizens with the program. Gagnon and Kumb vol unteered to explain the program and answer questions. To make sure that a good cross section of the city's population will be in attendance at the meeting, every organization will be asked to des- ignate two representatives to at tend this meeting. Scheduled for January 24, the time and place of the public meeting will be an nounced later.

PAVING QUESTIONS AGAIN ANSWERED BY MAYOR WILSON

Since the printing of a num- Der of questions and answers in regards to the proposed bond election January 22 and the sub sequent proposed paving pro- gram in the City, Mayor Charles ". Wilson has received addition al questions to which he offers the following answers:
 Why not make owners of abut- ting property pay all the cost of paving?
 Paving on the main street of Palmer will be an asset to all of Palmer. Everyone will benefit by it, therfor we should all con- tribute to the cost.
 Why sell bonds? Why not pay or pave as we go?
 The only way we can ever avoid using a bond issue would be by requiring abutting property own CTS to pay in full in advance, which could cause a severe hard ship on some owners. Contrac- tors expect to be paid when the job is finished. The use of a bond issue only means we get the use of paved streets while we pay for them. The City uses it's cred 1t to pay the contractor and re- tires the bonds as the property owners pay on the installment

IMPROTANT PLANS FOR TOURISTS OUTLINED BY AVA DIRECTOR WHALEY

A very interesting and infor- native talk on the Alaska Visit orS Association was presented by Frank H. Whaley, managing di- rector of AVA, to the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce on January 2. Whaley illustrated his talk with enlarged clippings and pictures that have been and will be used in promoting Alas ka to the travel agents and tour ists throughout the States.
 Over 11,0OO column inches of news stories and pictures provid- ed by AVA was published last year by Stateside magazines and newspapers. Whaley said that one of the most important ac- tivities of AVA is the dissemin- ation of publicity materials by the AVA News Bureau. He said the bureau was formed early last year with Kay Kennedy, experi- enced Alaska neWspaperwoman, as chief and that hundreds of stories and pictures covering all of Alaska were prepared and sent to worldwide magazines, newspapers, television, and radio stations. A large clip-book which Whaley showed at the meeting, illustrated the wide use these medias made of the material.
 Over 5O,00O colorful folders were sent out in answer to world wide inquiries about Alaska, Whaley, stated. Tn addition AVA is now preparing ,on a coopera- tive basis with Alaska Chambers of Commerce, brochures in indi- vidual cities in Alaska. The Ma tanuslsa Valley Chamber plans to prepare material for such a brochure for immediate printing.
 Visitors to Alaska were given buttons, on which they could write the name of their home state. Also warm letter of wei. come from Governor B. Frank Heintzleman and inquiry card which they were asked to fill out at the completion of their vaca tion.
 The Association placed big ad vertisements in leading national trade publications telling sellers Of tourist travel of the fabulous attractions of Alaska. AVA pos ters were sent last year to 25 foreign countries and every state in the Union.
 We hope to be able to pro ,duce 8 television movie this year., Whaley said. The movie would be made available to TV
