Cancer Fund Nears $500 Mark in
 First Two Weeks

The local Cancer fund cam paign has brought in a total of $280 during the first two weeks of August, according to Mrs. Stewart Durrant, local cam paign chairman.
 "The community is responding generously, as usual" states Mrs. Durrant, land if funds continue to come in at the present rate we should equal, if not surpass, the total of $738 which we rais- ed in 1956."
 Through an error, it was re- ported last week that $40 was sent by the Palmer Unit for use in patient assistance and educa- tional purposes. This should have read $400, and was the largest portion of the total given by lo- cal residents. The remainder of the $738 was used largely for rel Tsearch purposes, in the Society's constant effort to find better treatment and cure for the dis ease.
 We are anxious that the peo- pie of our community realize that they may obtain help from the Cancer Society,"" Mrs. Durrant added. Some funds are available for certain types of treatment, and persons needing such help are urged to get in touch as promptly as possible with Mrs. local Unit Chairman of the Am erican Cancer Society.
 The local chairman is also able to help plan informative q. A. Brewer of Palmer, who is also able to help plan informative programs for groups wishing to know more about cancer detec- tion and progress in reseach, ac- cording to Mrs. Durrant, and she can obtain slides or moving pic lures on the subject. Emphasis is placed on early detection and treatment which has helped this past year to increase the number of cured cancer cases from one out of four to one in three.
 Local donations may be made by addressing envelopes to CAN GER, PALMER, ALASKA.

Gasoline Dispensing Subject of Meeting

A special meeting of the Pal mer City Council was called for Tuesday night to discuss further the regulations governing the dispensing of gasoline. Although all service stations were repre- sented at the meeting only two councilmen and the mayor were present and a formal meeting could not De held.
 However the subject was again discussed at length by the ser vice station representatives and the city officials present.
 Mayor Wilson pointed out that the city's fire ordinance, adopt ca March 8, 1855, states that gas oline sales must be made on private property. The new ter ritorial fire code reads about the same with a slight modification.
 The service station men point ed out that other cities have the same conditions that some sta tions in Anchorage dispense right from the sidewalk, after having received ,a special permit from the city.
 A letter is being prepared to- day that will be sent to all gar age and service stations in the city, quoting the section of the city fire ordinance which per tains to "all parts of the motor vehicle being on private proper ty" while being serviced with gasoline. Also sections that ex- plain procedure to be followed by the fire chief and how garage and service station owners may appeal such rulings. The letter is to state that after September III the ordoinance shall be strict ly enforced.
 The next regular city council meeting will be on Tuesday August 27. Garage and service station owners plan to appear al the meeting to again discuss their problem.

57 POTATO YIELD PREDICTED or
 $500 TONS IN VALLEY

The Alaska Department of Agriculture has predicted a pota- to crop yield of 590O tons in AL .aska. Of this figure the Depart raent pr-icts a yield of 71s tons per acre for a total of $500 tons in the Matanuska Valley-Anchor- age area.
 The prediction was reported in the August IS copy of Alaska Market News which points out that the planted potato acreage of 1042 acres for the Territory is IA percent less than the 1904 acres planted in 1856 and almost iden- teal with that of 1855. Dry con- ditions had caused potato grow CTS to ponder when asked about Nthis years yields for this area, it was reported. Growers in the Panama Valley say that yields will definitely be on the low side due to lack of rainfall during the entire growing season. Only those fields in the low lying areas are expected to yield near nor nal. The Departments prediction in the Panama area is for yield of four-plus tons per acre which totals around 2200 tons. Kenai area yields of five tons per acre would total 100 tons. Thus, the report shows, the potato produc- ton. outlook for the 1857 crop totals 59D0 tons compared to 1882 tons for 1856 and 5055 tons for 1855.
 The 7382 tons of potatoes pro- duced for 1856 has filled the mar ket demand 100 percent, the re- port states, with almost no hold over. Therefore, if the forecast of $500 tons for 1857 is near right, continued good prices should be obtained for all the crop.
 Approximately 364 acres of po- tatoes were planted this year in the Matanuska Valley; 119 acres in the Anchorage area; $40 in the Panama Valley; and 20 in the kenai area.
 Lettuce planting increased from

MAYOR POINTS OUT ADVANTAGE AT
 CHAMBER MEET ING

Mayor Charles W. Wilson was guest speaker at the August 2l meeting of the Matanuska Val ley Chamber of Commerce. His topic was based on Council Manager form of municipal government.
 Mayor Wilson stated that for a long time he has given much thought to what is wrong with the present form of city govern ment. He pointed out that he IS the fourth elected mayor and the fifth to serve in that capac- ity. He said he had come to the conclusion that the mayor does not have enough authority in vested in him in the present type of government to enable proper city government. He pointed out that the city council has power only when in session, which amounts to four or five hours twice each month.
 The Mayor is responsible for the enforcement of city ordin- ances and laws of the Territory He appoints city employees the city council must confirm. The mayor doesn't have the author ity to change the personnel with out city council action," he point ed out.
 According to the National Municipal League, which has prepared booklets on Forms of Municipal Government and how they have worked, there are four types of government. The Weak Mayor Council Form (as follow jed in Palmer). The Weak May or-Council form has shown it. self to be a thoroughly made quate type of municipal struc- ture, the survey shows. Tn rel cent years this form has been discarded by city after city ana virtually no new adoptions are being recorded. The weak may or-council plan, commonly has these characteristics: city coun- cil with committee delving into details; an elected mayor; sep arate department heads; admin istrative boards elected or ap- pointed for overlapping terms.
 Mayor Wilson pointed out that the weak mayor council form of government has been found unde- sirable because it does not provide successfully for competent de- partment heads or other person mel, lacks unifying, responsible, single executive head.
 The Commission form of gov ernment is little if any more suc- cessful than the weak mayor form, the survey shows. The ty- pical Commission plan has five commissioners elected at large to serve as the legislative body, each commissioner heading an administrative department. While the plan sounds simple, the re- port shows it has been found t0 have most of the defects of the weak mayor-council form and some others peculiar to itself.
 The strong mayor-council form has been more successful than

Considering
Work With
-PIywood?

DO know that there are
two main types Of plywood:
Interior. which is made with
water-resistant glue: and ex-
terror, which is made with
waterproof glue, with several
different grades Of each type.
DO :. when cutting plywood
with a handsaw or q table saw,
keep the good side up; when
cutting it with q portable cleo
trio handsaw. keep the good
side down.
DO -. when drilling holes in
plywood. back it up with q piece
Of scrap wood to prevent chip
ping IS the bit breaks through.
DO /. finish fir plywood by
first sealing it with q special
undercoater made for that spe-
cific purpose. using the clear
undercoater for transparent
finishes. the white for pig
mented finishes.
\ 4 \ 4
DON'T forget that while
most Of the plywood sold is fir,
there are many excellent va
rieties of hardwood plywood,
including mahogany, walnut
birch. maple. oak and several
others.
DON'T ;. neglect the use of
clamps to hold plywood securely
while cutting it with a portable
iigsaw.
DON'T overlook the fact
that, while you can drive nails
into the face of plywood close
to the edges with no danger Of
splitting, nails will not hold
well in the edges themselves.
DON'T plane plywood
edges il you can avoid 1t, but If
you have to, always plane to-
ward the center, as moving the
plane OF an end usually causes
chipping.
