MAGAZINE ARTICLE
TELLS Or LOCAL ELKS'
HOLIDAY PROJECT

Even though it is little late
for Christmas story, an article
recently submitted to the Elks
national magazine is interesting
because Of the scope of the pro-
iect undertaken and carried out
this past Christmas by the Pal
mer Elks.
During the Christmas season
the local Elks distributed some
500 Christmas socks full of treats
to children in their lodge, young
sters living in Talkeetna and TO
children in Glenallen. They also
distributed number of Christ
mas baskets which contained a
large ham or turkey, fresh vege-
tables, fruit, nuts, milk and candy
all in great enough amounts to
assure more than one big meal for
each family. In addition, old-tim-
ers throughout the valley We're
honored with the presentation OF
large fruit cakes. Christmas par
ties were staged for the local Elks
children, for the entire village
of Talkeetna and at Glenallen-
The trip to Talkeetna was made
by seven planes through the CO.
operation of the local Airmens
Association, and the trip to Glen
allen was by car. The Elks arriv
ed at that town in 40 below zero
weather just as the community's
school party was concluding and
Santa's arrival made a big hit.
Four boxes of apples and oranges
were left there for distribution to

No other farm animal fits into
the agricultural economy of this
region as the hog. 1t thrives on
lambs quarters, our most prolific
weed.
Search the record of shipments
of foodstuff into Alaska and you
will be surprised to learn that
we import annually:
It will require large acreage
of tillable land to produce the
food necessary to feed our ex-
panding population. Recent chan
ges in our land laws and the in
crease of land management has
made a few acres available. Just
enough to give our people a toe
hold, but little is done to aid
these new settlers in production
of food stuff to feed our popula-
ton. ts
The home built on the small
tract contributes little toward
permanent settlement of farms.
They provide little taxable pro-
perry. Governor B. Frank Heintz-
leman asked for changes in land
laws and aids to settlers and
farmers now engaged in farming.

FACING REALITIES I'M
ALASKA TO-DAY

To my mind the most vital pro
6lern facing Alaska is that of be-
cunning self-supporting. In time
suf war or other great disaster we
srm0ld survive but a very short
f1ne. Success of civil defense will
ne impossible so long as we are
dependent upon shipping oul
Hood supplies from the States.
Training for civil defense is
necessary, but we must become
Self-supporting and able to feed
0sH selves and to help support all
city populations that may need
help during a crisis.
We must bring into cultivation
and production every available
sscre of land suitable for crops or
Grazing.
To do this will require changes
I'm our land laws by Congress. An
stignated homestead laws with the
same requirements used since
1856 when the vast central and
western states were settled are
still used. The Homestead Act was
am ended once to encourage Alas
kan demonstrating. Many of the
Tanana Valley and early Matan-
NSSka hornesteads were settled I'M
der this act which allowed a
lnosnesteader 800 acres. In 1916
the law was changed reverting
back to 100 acres. Bills introduc-
led 10 Congress in 1923 were kill
led In 1929 second bill which
qrovided for greater acreage and
gra zing land was also killed.
However the Alaska Grazing Act
9oag In force did come and is
gre dually being extended in all
pas IS of Alaska
The grazing lease is of little
aid to the small operator. Alas
i4aa homesteaders need pasture
sen for their increasing herds of
dairy and beef cattle. Tracts Of
leo acres of native grass would
be required for each dairy farm
and would require fencing. 1t
should be available within Is to
ID miles of ones homestead. 1t
should be open to lease, develop
nnent and purchase within three
zs9 five years and title when COM
Rsaetely fenced and in use. Such a
gsUvision would encourage home
Ssseading and rapid settlement.

valley would soon be producing

likes in car styles. One auto motive company recently set up a national women's panel to dis cuss design innovations. One re- suit was the increased use of linen for upholstery. It doesn't wrinkle easily, is static-free, feels comfortable in summer and winter, and lets clothing slide easily-all requirements desired by women.
 The feminine trend in car de- sign has been apparent for some time. Automotive experts agree that the glove compartment, as- sist straps, floor carpeting, inside lighting, and non-skid tires are the result of the ladies' influence.
 One third of all motorists are women. So the car is. designed to make it easier and more com- fortable for the woman to oper- ate. Two results: power steer ing, power brakes.
 Other suggestions by women: a door button that won't break fingernails, better back-up lights, wider doors, glove drawers, mir TOT on back of sun visor.

Nixon Attacks
 Soviet Proposal for Troop Withdrawals
By FRANCES LEVINE

ASHEVILLE, N. C., R-Vice President Nixon said Wednesday night Russia's proposal for Allied and Soviet troop withdrawals in Europe would 'leave the free countries of Europe at the mercy of the Communist world"
 He said Russian boss Nikita s. Nhrushchev was playing "the old shell game" when he made the proposal.
 Noting that the United States has always been ready Ito meet the Soviet Union halfway on any reasonable basis" in disarmament talks, the vice president said:
 "We owe a duty to our allies and to ourselves not to be sucked into the old shell game trade of one horse for one rabbit, which is what MT. Khrushchev offered last Sunday when he suggested we should withdraw our forces from Europe's 5000 miles in re- turn for the Soviet moving theirs from the satellite countries 300 miles away.
 Nixon made what was appar- ently White House approved re- ply to Khrushchev before the con- vention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
 He drew applause when he ac- knowledged "there has been some waste and inefficiency" in our foreign aid program, but suggest ed "when we consider the tre- mendous stakes involved, the remedy for these difficulties and errors is to try 10 do a more effec- tive job and not to give up and let the Soviet Union start taking over the world"

Soviet Sub Seen in English Channel

LO NJ ON, ,R-British navy protection ships yesterday trailed three big Soviet submarines thru the English Channel.
 The Soviet subs, escorted by a minesweeper, were moving west ward down the channel for an undetermined destination, an Ad- miralty spokesman said They were sighted Wednesday.
 He said while the passage of Soviet warships thru the channel was unusual, they have every right to use the waterway.
 Royal naval vessels were ob- serving the Soviet subs more out of general interest about their movements than out of suspicion, the spokesman said.

Bill Introduced To Improve Local Air Service

WASHINGTON, R-A bill de- signed to improve local air ser vice thru government-guaranteed loans was offered Wednesday by Sen. Monroney D-Okla'.
 The loans would be for limited aircraft purchases by local ser vice and Alaska and Hawaii air lines to make ''urgently needed replacements," Monroney said.
 By making loans more readily available for new equipment that permits more efficient and eco- nomical operation, it is hoped savings would enable the airlines to go off subsidies now costing S30 million per year." he added.
 .'These carriers, that reach the smaller cities off the main trunk routes" he said, fare equipped mainly with DC-3s, the old work horse that went into service in 1886. For speed, comfort, and seat-mile economy, replacements are urgently needed"
