So says a white : haired,

Operators - legislative en-

they may hear.
Besides handling outgoing
and incoming calls for 200
phones, each with five or six
extensions, operators perform
two special services for the
House. They round up men,
bers for a roll call; and when
a special guest is to address
Congress, they remind legisla-
tors of the exact time OF the
guests appearance.

operator says. (The first
chief, also the first operator,
Mrs. Harriet G. DAILY, and her
successor, Miss Nena Thomas,
stayed more than 40 years.
The appeal, Mrs. Mann
says, is being so much a part
of what's going on. Every
thing that happens in Con-
gress is reflected here. Re
member the shooting in the
House? Our BOARD was lighted

tell when Congress Is excited
about an issue: The phones

she says.
Operators who place and re-
ceive calls from all types get
their share of cranks and
crackpots. When a radio or
TV commentator advises lis
tenerS to get in touch with
your Congressman" he may
be doing a public service, but,
Mrs. Mann says, he certainly
makes it tough for Capitol
operators.
Everybody seems to get in
touch by telephone. Some
call long distance-some don't
even know the name of their
Congressman"

Co-0p Donates
 S5,00O 10 Hospital

The sum of $5,000 has been do- mated to the Valley Hospital As sociation by the Matanuska Val ley Farmers Cooperating Associa- ton. The announcement was made. by Stewart Durrant, man ager of Palmer's farm coopera- tive. on behalf of the member ship board of directors,
 Tn accepting this grant AN H. Mick, representing the hospital associations board of directors, pledged that it would be used to operate the Valley Presbyterian Hospital. He pointed out that the grant is in the form of write off of indebtedness of the hos pital to the MVFCA, accumulated over period of several years. The sum is sufficient to clear the books of both associations of all indebtedness incurred prior to July 1,. 1857.
 We greatly appreciate this much needed assistance" said Mick, since it is a concrete ex- pression of the support that has been and will continue to be given by the community to in- sure continued operation of Pal mer's hospital. We trust the com munity leadership displayed by the Matanuska Valley farmers will serve as an example for others to follow"
 The Coop donation is the third such gesture made toward the hospital. The Matanuska Elec- tric Association has allowed the hospital a special rate which is believed to be the lowest in this section of Alaska. The Matanus- ka Telephone Association has all lowed the hospital free use of one telephone and necessary equipment, thereby making avail able two telephones for the cost of one.

CROP LOSS PREDICTED AT OVER S2OO,OOD

Because of the severe winter kill and drought conditions this spring and summer, loss to val ley farmers will total at least $2O0,O0O, or an average per far mer loss of $2,000. This informa- ton was presented to Governor Michael Stepovich by James Will son, territorial commissioner of agriculture during the governors $ visit to the valley area last week end.
 Hardest hit, Wilson told the governor, are approximately 100 stockrnen, whose 5200 acres of grassland are affected. This grass land represents 37 percent of the cropped land in the area he said. From a poll made by the De- partment, Wilson estimated that at least 2600 acres requires re- seeding at cost of about $30 an acre or total of $78,000.
 Our farmers, Wilson told the governor, "who have been rein vesting every dollar available in increased acreage and improved facilities, and who have been squeezed between rising produc- ton costs and a stabilized return for their product can ill afford this added burden"
 Wilson pointed out that it IS
