l6!Year-OId I
Admits Breaks
In Local Stores

City and territorial police on
early Tuesday morning brought
to an end crime career upon
which a local 16-year- youth
had embarked. The youth was
discovered in Koslosky's Depart
ment Store by Jan Koslosky
about 1890 am. when he entered
the store by the side entrance to
obtain a ladder. Entry had been
made by the youth by smashing
the glass in one of the front
doors. He had filled q suitcase
with guns, ammunition and hol-
sters before being surprised by
the store owner. Koslosky report
ed he had been unable to unlock
the door to his apartment be-
cause it had apparently been jim
mied and had entered the store
seeking means with which to
enter his apartment. The youth
ran to the rear of the store
when discovered and was from
there taken into custody by the
police officials.
When questioned the youth
admitted having entered the Co
OPP Building and Farm Supply
on May where a number of
guns were taken valued at $255;
entering the Valley Store where
miscellaneous items were takn
on May 4; and Hartley Motors,
Inc. on May IL where a 470 Alas
kan rifle and money from two
cash registers amounting to $25-
$50 was taken. The guns have
been recovered.
Action against the juvenile is
pending.
Officials stated the youth has
no known previous record.

CLEANUP week
May 1926

The week of May 1925 has
been designated as Clean Up
Week in Palmer and Mayor
Charles w. Wilson has called
upon all citizens to participate in
every way possible to "clean up,
fix up, paint up" in the City of
Palmer.
The dates were chosen to fall
just prior to Colony Day which
will be held on May 26. Since the
winds earlier this week, consider
able waste is visible against the
fences and buildings in many
spots in the city, he pointed out,
and it will mean cleaning little
bit more than just ones own
yard.
Although no special campaign
has been announced it is hoped
that organizations will spearhead
the cleanup work in various
sections of the city.

RESOURCE BOARD
ACTIVITIES TOLD
AT CHAMBER MEET

James Wilson, member of the
Alaska Resource Development
Board since 1855, was guest
speaker at the May Is meeting of
the Matanuska Valley Chamber
of Commerce.
Wilson gave a brief resume of
accomplishments of the Board
the past two years, chief of which
was the implementing of forestry
industry in Alaska. He spoke of
work done to get the timber in
dustry started that resulted in
the large mill at Kecthikan, the
Japanese plant in Sitka, and two
other active timber industries.
Copies of report prepared by
the Board of Juneau are avail
able to interested persons, he
reported. Similar surveys have
been made for Anchorage, Fair
banks, Valdez, Cordova, and
Ketchikan. with funds available
now it is not likely the Board
will be able to do more than one
report this year and Seward has
requested one on their area"
Wilson said.
Data reports are available re-
garding Alaskan cities; Alaskan
population; Alaska traffic sur
vey, and a thermo power study
is underway and will probably
be published this summer, he
said.
Wilson touched briefly on the
new tax incentive legislation en-
acted by the 1857 Legislature and
the role that it will play in at
tracing new industry in Alaska.
This will encourage industry
making use, of basic materials
such as minerals agriculture, for
est, and tourist trade, he said.
The program is aimed, he ex-i
planned, at industries that might
be marginal without tax ex-
emption. He pointed out that if
new industry, which has receiv-
ed the tax exemption is in direct
competition with an existing like

MATANUSKA WINDS
UNvvELC COINED GUEST
I'M VALLEY AREA

Following exceptionally warm
weather last week, winds from
the Matanuska Glacier were most
unwelcomed when they arrived
in the valley Sunday evening.
Not only was considerable dis
comfort provided for all resi-
dents, but it proved to be very
costly for many of the area
farmers who had completed part
of their seeding. On the Max
Sherrod farm lettuce and cab
bage plants were completely
blown off from five acres of
land. The Bob Klems also were
hard hit by the wind, as well as
many other produce farmers. It
was reported as one of the most
damaging winds of it's type at
this time of the year in the past
decade.
Official wind velocity, as re-
corded by the weather reporter,
do not indicate the density of the
soil that was so visible, both in
doors and out. The Monday s
am. reading showed the wind
velocity at % mph; at IL am. it
was up to Is mph, and much
quieter in the evening. However,
Tuesday morning at am the
Knik wind took a turn at blow
ing and was recorded at s mph
and by 4 pm. was up to II mph.
Temperatures fluctuated from so
above on Monday to a low of 30
at night.

POLICE OFFICIALS

TO KIWANIS PROJECT

Palmer Kiwanians are ready
for the day-long Vehicle Safety
Check program which they will
sponsor in this city Saturday,
May 18. Banners will be set up
in the city lot opposite the fair
grounds where check lanes viii
be established and operated from

glass, windshield wipers, rear
view mirrors, and horn. A print
ed report on the condition of the
vehicle will be presented to each
owner and a sticker, which Ger
titles the vehicle has passed the
l0-point check will be affixed to
the windshields of each vehicle
which meets the requirements, he
added.
This is the first vehicle safety
check program sponsored by a
valley organization although or
CARNATIONS in other Alaskan cit
les have sponsored similar sue
cessful programs. Territorial and
city police are lending their
wholehearted support to the pro-
gram and have joined the Kiwan-
ians in urging all vehicle owners
to participate in the program.
Although the Territorial and
City police will not be participat-
ing in the actual checking Of the
vehicles. they will be on hand to
direct traffic and answer any
questions vehicle owners might
have, Maze said.
The Kiwanians will be assisted
in the lanes by students of the
Palmer High School drivers
training class and by mechanics
from Kinks Sales and Service,
Hartley Motors, Inc and Tost's
Service.
1t was pointed out this week
that during the summer months
police officials are planning spot
checks along the highway and
roads. Cars carrying the safety
check stickers, unless obviously
faulty, will not be re-checked.
Maze again pointed out that
this program is not compulsory
for vehicle owners. Tt is being
sponsored by the Palmer Kiwan-
is Club as service to the COM
munity to allow vehicle owners
to become aware of the safety
condition of their cars, trucks,
jeeps Or other type vehicles. Resi- !.
dents Of the outlying areas are
also reminded that they are most
welcome to participate in the
program. The service is being
made available to any and all in
terested vehicle owners.

 To protect mortgage holders, the law now directs the assessor to notify by registered mail all holders of liens on property ap- bearing on a foreclosure list if directed by said lien holder in writing to do so.
 The assessors office now has forms for lien holders to fill out and also forms directing the as Sessor to send bills to someone other than the owner of record.
 Since it will be a long time be- for the assessors office can shift all the instruments recorded, Wakeland said it will help great ly if errors in ownership are cor rected by the people involved.
 A contract buyer should not be listed at all until the owner di rects the assessor to do So he said. Also, he added, if you are an owner of record and want an other party or firm to receive the bills, you must fill out a request at the assessors office. And, fin ally he added, any lien holder of real property can be notified if that property appears on foreclosure list by filling out d request at the assessors office.
