ThotoWoy
By HAROLD HEFFERNAN

HOLLYWOOD tNANA).-Shed tear for
part of our American heritage which has slipped
unnoticed from the scene.
That familiar old standby, the cliche ridden
Western, is on its way to becoming thing Of
the past and the perpetrator of this crime, the
1857 streamlined TV sagebrush drama, seems
not at all embarrassed at being caught red
handed.
Into mothballs have gone many warmly
remembered stock situations and trite bits Of
dialogue. In their stead are quiet, lean heroes;
Soft-Spoken men who are actually smarter than
the criminals they pursue.
What brought about this change in accepted
pattern? Nat Holt former theater exhibitor,
producer of 25 theatrical Westerns, and nov at
the helm of the NBC-TV series, Tales of Wells
Fargo, based on the history of the famed
transporting company. thinks there Is
basic answer.
"The public has grown up-all by them
selves, ana without anybody prodding them.
"Stereotypes are vanishing and supersim-
plifed plots and characters have slipped from
favor along with them Today's viewer no longer
accepts a hero who fires 10 shots from six
shooter He also wants to know why man
we tout as a crack shot always misses the villain
when be tries to escape from a scant IL feet
away
ana they no longer SIT still for pure-aS-
the-driven-snow heroes and the familiar boy
girl relationship which has been the butt of SO
many deserved Jokes. The cowboy invariably
scorned the girl patted his horse affectionately,
and rode off into the sunset"
Although he disclaims any authority on the
subject, Holt believes this new maturity may
well be the answer to why there are nearly 40
Western series on the air this season.
For the first time in years." he says, "the
Western has become fun again-fun to make,
and fun to watch!"

Public Urged 10
Attend Paving Forum

Every city voter has been urg-
ed to attend the public meeting
being sponsored tonight by the
Matanuska Valley Chamber OF
Commerce for a forum on the
coming bond election and the
paving program in the city of
Palmer. The forum will be held
at the new high school, in the
cafeteria, at pm.
Chamber officials pointed out
this week that they are taking no
stand on the issue. Some of us
are for paving-some are not. We
are. sponsoring this meeting so
that the voters of Palmer will
have an opportunity before they
go to the polls next Tuesday to
become fully acquainted with the
proposals being offered by the
city of Palmer"
City officials will be in attend
ance at the meeting to answer
any and all questions put to them
by the voters.
Tt was brought out at this
weeks Chamber of Commerce
meeting that some people are
against paving before additional
sewers are installed in the city.
The proposed paving will in no
way interfere with the present
sewer or the installation of flu
ture sewers, it was explained. 1t
was pointed out by member
that by the time the City could
quality for an APW loan to in
stall additional sewers in Pal
mer much of the general obliga-
ton bonded indebtedness will
have been paid off.
Some have asked why the CITY
wants to rush into the paving
program. Tt has been explained
by Mayor Charles Wilson and
other city officials that the Bur-
eau of Public Roads is going to
pave 24-foot strip in the cen
ter of the road from the Glenn
highway to the Wasilla highway.
Once this paving is completed its
maintenance will be up to the
city. Mayor Wilson has several
times explained that through the
business section, where there is
SO much off-street parking, the
edge of this paving would soon
break down and maintenance
costs would run very high. 1t is
hoped by city officials that the
voters will approve the issuance
Of up to 100000 in bonds so
that they may take advantage of
the BPR contractor being in the
area and therefor extend the "a
foot strip to 81 feet, providing
curb to curb paving In the heavily
travelled sections of the city. II

Planning New
Committees in
Local Chamber

Stewart Durrant, president of
the Matanuska Valley Chamber
of Commerce for 1857, announced
at the January Is meeting of the
Chamber that committees will be
set up for the coming year and
that ground work for these COM
mittee assignments will be start
ed at an executive meeting to be
held Tuesday, January % in the
Coop Cafe.
Durrant pointed out that some
of the standing committee such
as the agriculture and the devel-
opment committees, could well be
broken down SO that persons Wit
ally interested in these commit
tees could work on specific pro-
jects. For instance, he said,
number of dairymen have indi-
Gated their interest in advancing
the marketing of milk products.
Such individuals, who are bust
ness men in their own rights, be-
long in the Chamber and would
do we'll on such committees. He
who, through the Chamber of
also spoke of the potato farmer
Commerce, might we'll work on
a marketing project whereby adj
ditional ways of putting local po-
tatoes on the market might be
found. He spoke of a potato
farmer in Fairbanks who is sell
ing a large amount Of potatoes
ready for French frying.
1--WE need a committee to work
with the City Planning Commits
sion,' he suggested" and need a
program to build up civic pride
here in Palmer, to create a clean
and attractive city where people
will want to visit and live"
The committee appointments
will be discussed at the meeting
January % which will be in the
form of a breakfast meeting.
Chamber directors have voted to
try the breakfast meetings, start
ing at z am, tentatively schedul-
ing them for the first Wednesday

Moose and Eagles
TangIe Tomorrow

The Palmer Moose will travel
to Anchorage tomorrow where
they meet the Anchorage Eagles
for the second time this season.
The Eagles are making most
determined bid for the Railbelt
championship and to date have
not lost a game.
The local cagemen were de-
feated in Fairbanks, although
from the scores it appears that
they gave the Malemutes a few
worried minutes. In the Friday
night game the Fairbanks lads
took the game by only five
points, 46-41. The following night
they again won but only through
a squirt during the final quarter.
Up To that time they were trail
ing the visiting Moose. Final
score on Saturday was 5000.
tentative plans are being made
for the Pioneer Band to accom-
pany the Moose to Anchorage to-
morrow night. This will be the
bands first out-of-town trip this
season.

STUDENT DRIVERS
START COURSE IN
high SCHOOL

The Drivers Training Course,
being offered for the first time
in the Palmer school this year,
got under way on Tuesday OF this
week with some 35 students en-
rolled. according to William j..
Zahradnick, school superintend-
ent.
The group is composed of three
classes which are held for one
hour. "A total of 81 classroom
hours are to be spent on the cour-
Sc by each student, plus 18 hours
of practical work Of which IL
hours will be in observation and
six in actual driving. The course
will run for approximately 80
days and students successfully
completing will be given a half
credit, as is given in all half
year courses.
Students completing similar
courses in the Anchorage and
Fairbanks schools have been ac-
corded lower insurance rates and
it is hoped that the same will
apply to students who successful
ly complete the course in Palmer.
John Shrieber, who has been
teaching elementary subjects and
shop in the Junior high school,
has been named instructor in this
driving course and has been re-
leased from part of his junior
high duties to serve in this new
capacity. Shrieber is qualified
driver-training teacher.
The two-tone 1856 Ford sedan
has been made available to the
high school through Hartley Mo-
tors, Inc. Only the insurance costs
are borne by the school. The car
is clearly marked as the Palmer
school driver training car and will
soon be seen in and about Pal
mer with the, student drivers at
the wheel.

until the endorsed bond is turn
ed over to the Association secre-
tary.
Mrs. Pippel explained this mon
ey being used to retire the bonds

Library Acquires
1000 Books from
Surplus Property

Over 1000 books, all in excel
lent condition, were this week ac-
quired by the Palmer Library.
The books were secured by the
Library Association through the
Alaska Surplus Property Admin
istration. Assisting the program
were Miss Dorothy Phillips of
Juneau, territorial librarian; Mrs.
Irene Griffith, City of Anchorage
librarian; and All ". Hagen of Pal
mer, Greater Palmer Area Civil
Defense director, who acted as
coordinator
In addition to the 1,078 books
acquired by the Palmer Library,
as additional 500 books went to
the Wasilla Library and 500 to
the library at Glenallen.
Several thousand books were
offered to various Alaska COM
munities. Mrs. Griffith, in select
ing books for the Anchorage Ii
brary, sorted a great number Of
them "a group from Palmer went
to Anchorage on Monday of this
week and selected over 1000 of
the books for the local library.
Those working on the giant-of-a
project were Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Klein, Mrs. Bernard Neiman,
Dorothy Briggs, Haleen ingalls,,
T. "A. Meyer, and Al Hagen. The
Kle1ns made two trips to Anchor
age yesterday to transport the
Palmer books in their truck. Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Olson of Wasilla
selected and hauled the 500 books
for the Wasilla Library.
Letters are being mailed this
week to all valley organizations
and business houses explaining
the acquisition of these books.
They were acquired at the very
low cost of eight cents each
The more than 1000 books were
acquired for about $200-a very
minute fraction of their original
cost. It is hoped that contribu-
tons in the three areas-Palmer
Wasilla, and Glenallen-Will off
set the cost of acquisition. eff we
can get donations from ST. to SIC
I feel sure that we will be able
to pay for these books in a very
short time, Hagen said this
week. Anyone wishing to make q
donation toward the books, who
does not receive a letter, is in
vited to leave it at the Palmer
Library.

SECOND GAME
HEARING PLANNED
FOR PALMER

Another game hearing will be
held in the Palmer area, 1t was
announced this week by Holger
Larson of the Fish and Wildlife
Service. The meeting has been
scheduled for Thursday evening,
January "a and will be held at
8 pm. in the Valley Theatre. All
sportsmen and others interested
in the game laws of the Terri
tory, are invited to attend the
meeting.
The first of area game law
hearings was held in Palmer two
weeks ago. Because of the short
notice of the meeting it was felt
by number of area residents that
the meeting was not properly adj
vertIsed and a group requested
the Alaska Game Commission to
re-schedule a meeting in Palmer.
Tn all probability the results Of
the earlier meeting will be pre-
sented at the January "A meeting
for discussion.

Seek Placement
OF 900 Hunqarians

You Will Tlnd a way was the
reply Mrs. Ann J. Brown of An
chorage received when she cues
toned a friend in Hungary as
to how she could possibly find
homes for 1913 Hungarian refugees
whom her friend had written
were enrOute to Alaska.
These 800 persons are schedul-
ed to land in New York City
March and following regulation
immigration paper work will be
available to travel to Alaska. In
.cluded in the group will be $50
orphan children ranging from in
fants to IL year olds, Mrs. Brown
said, as well as laborers, doctors,
lawyers, merchants farmers and
other skilled adults.
Following considerable public
lty in the Anchorage area on this
refugee group Mrs. Brown stated
she had received around 400 calls
from interested individuals. 1--WE
feel sure all of the orphan chill
dren can be placed. These chill
dren may be legally adopted by
interested families she said. Mrs.
Brown stated that she is not seek
ing funds-"I am only seeking
help in solving this problem of
what to do with this great num-
Der of people"
Following the meeting Mrs.
Brown said that she felt sure
that everyone is somewhat fam
liar with the tragedy that has
befallen the Hungarian people.
Actually, the uprising stemmed
from the youth of the country
and gained support from the peo-
pie as a whole because they UNI
derstood what liberty meant to
the younger generation" she said.
Certainly those of us who have
the freedom that was created for
us by the brave men and women
of our revolution can sympathize
with the plight of Hungary,
where the yearning for life, lib
erty and happiness re-creates our
own problems of many years ago.
Sympathy, however is not
enough, she added. "We must,
each and everyone of us take an
active part in the task of housing,
caring for, and feeding the many
who are in dire need because of
their life of freedom and equal
ity.
II guess most people feel that a
donation of some kind should
solve the problem and beyond
that interest in the situation wan
.es, but this is not drive fol-
monetary help, ratehr it is 9
drive to find human compassion
a friend, home, a new start and
new life in the only country ir
the world that still believes ir
individual freedom and the pur.
suit of happiness.
From various sources I have
been informed that these hun.
