telephone Directory To Be Distributed

Max Clements, manager of the Matanuska Telephone Associa- ton, announced that telephone books will be made available to MTA subscribers the first of next week.
 The printed books list the three local exchanges, Pioneer, From tier, and Alpine alphabetically, in a combined section. The Chugiak exchange is listed separately be- cause calls to and from that sec ton of the system are on toll. A complete classified section is car ried in the back of the book and pertinent information is printed in the first section. Subscribers and all telephone users are urg- ed to carefully read the instruc- tions printed in this, the first telephone directory. By taking the time to read this information, much confusion and lost time may be avoided at a later date, Clements pointed out
 Because it was necessary to make several number changes, as we'll as additions, in the rural area, Clements asked that per sons making calls into the rural area use the new directory to be certain they are using the cor rect number. About 75 telephones are involved in the new numbers and are correctly listed in the directory. Clements said that MTA prsonnel will be calling at the location of these telephones to make the change in the num- Der as listed on the telephone instrument. Subscribers are ret quested not to attempt to make the change themselves.

TOTALITARiAN RULE CONTROLS REDS, SPEAKER SAYS

An interested audience Mon day night heard an enlightening talk on facts from back of the iron curtain" in Eastern Ger many and in Russia. The speak er was Harold Korn, world tra- yeler and lecturer.
 Wherever Communism ap- pears in a country, whether sate- lite or in Russia itself, the popu- lation emerges everywhere i'll the same pattern of, complete dom nation of everyone by the state, the eminent speaker said. .Al- though only about 2 million of Hussia's 200 million population are active in the party, all are forced to conform with party standards" he said.
 sNinety percent of the relig- jous edifices have been destroy ed not one is being restored Tn the Eastern zone of Germany. St. Isaac's Catholic Church in Russia, second largest in the world, has many broken stained glass windows. Inquiries regard ing lack of repair were answer ed by Russian guide to the eff feet that your God can't even repair his own home \. the business section has large letters HO throughout the area. These are black market stores operated b ythe government for those for tunate few who can afford to buy there after they have used their ration tickets the German mark is worth four times as much in the Western zone as in the Eastern zone, yet the Communists will exchange only one for one ..

Women travel across the line to the Western zone and if new shoes are worn or taken back, and recognized as such by the border guards, they are confisticated.
 The Russians like big things. An American threshing machine brings great exclamations of ad- 1niration when seen by the Rus sian farmer If the Russians were not afraid of showing their true feelings they might be some of our closest friends this is a peculiar situation but true"

NAT. DAIRY, MONTH BEING OBSERVED

June Dairy Month, the annual period during which the nation pays tribute to cows and the dairy industry goes all out to tell the story of dairy foods, will take on a historical note this year. The 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown colony, the first permanent English set clement in this country, also marks the founding of the Ameri- can dairy industry.
 Leading Product
 Milk is Alaska's leading agri- cultural product and returns a value of over $112 million to All aska's farmers. The 1857 milk production in the territory show ed an increase of Is percent in volume over 1855, according to statistics from the Alaska De- partment of Agriculture,
 The rapid increase of Alaska's population has afforded ready market for fresh Grade A milk and Alaska's dairy farmers are doing their best to fulfill the de- mand. According to George Crowther of the Agriculture De- partment approximately l1A million pounds of milk were pro duced in the Matanuska Valley Anchorage area last year, ann bunting to 5,33O,OOO quarts of fresh milk which will go long way toward keeping Alaska's population in good health.
 To produce 11,500,000 pounds of milk requires a considerable amount of invested capital and labor, Crowther pointed out. The cleared land, machinery, cows, and buildings constitute an in- vestment of over $5O,OO0 for the average dairy farmer. The Ma tanuska Valley-Anchorage area has 10 Grade A dairy farms and a total of l,600 dairy cows. In adj dition, there are two modern pro cessing plants employing over 50 persons.
 Alaska's soil and climate are particularly well suited for dairy production Forage crops grow well during the long days with moderate temperatures,

GROUPS TAKE ACTION TO EASE DROUGHT
 PR 0BLEMS IN VALLEY

Actions are being taken by the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co- operating Association, Alaska De- partment of Health and the Mat afiuska Valley Chamber of Com merce in an attempt to alleviate the critical crop conditions caus- cd by witner kill and drought in the valley areas.
 In telegram to Governor Stepovich Stewart A. Durrant, Coop general manager, report ed that due to the winter kill in grass and hay and continued drought the dairymen in the val ley are in a serious feed short age. He suggested this area be declared a disaster area So that government relief on freight rates on feed brought in from the states may De. permitted. x Shortly after receiving the wira Governor Stepovich contacted the local office of the Department of Agriculture for figures and statistics regarding the situation Ill the absence of James Wilson, commissioner of agriculture, who is in the States, George Crowther. marketing specialist, made sur vey among farmers and sent his findings to the governor who was enroute to Washington, DC.
 At the June 19 meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce, Crowther, as one of the guest speakers, reported his findings as follows:
 Because of the limited time it was not possible to contact all farmers of the area. About 40 percent of the local Grade A dairymen were contacted by tele- phone and asked the following four questions: Q) How many acres of permanent grass do you have both for pasture and hay or silage production? @ How many acres of your permanent grass winter killed? (3) How will this affect your winter feed supply2 (4) DO you have a shortage of moisture and if So to what extent is it affecting your forage crops?
 Figures obtained, Crowther said, showed 55 percent of pas ture and brome were winter kill ed. Most of the farmers will be short of winter feed, with sever ity depending upon future rain fall He added the question on how the moisture situation was, resulted in some curt answers
 Crowther pointed out that a number of dairymen have had to put their cows into the woods to feed. There is always the dan ger of larkspur poisoning in the woods feeding" he stated Stewart Durrant pointed out that in addition to this hazard, num- br of cows have injured their ud- ders, with mastitis resulting in several cases.
 A letter from Wesley A. D'- Ewart, assistant to the director of the Agricultural Credit Services, Department of Agriculture, was received by the local Department of Agriculture in which D'Ewart stated that in reply to a letter sent May 27 by Commissioner Wilson nit would appear to US that the assistance you need could De given under our soil conserva- ton program and perhaps some
