GOOD FOOD AND
ENTERTAINMENT hit
or GAME DINNER

Although attendance at the Ma
tanuska Valley Sportsmen annual
game dinner was small conpar-
ed to previous years, those at
tending enjoyed a variety of wild
game dishes including roasts, sal
ads, jellies, and casseroles in
which very nearly every edible
type of game was featured. Hot
baked potatoes, furnished and
prepared by Hank Liebing, hit
the spot. Al Dickow and Mac Nc
Intire, both former Palmerites
and now of Kodiak sent king
crab for the dinner.
Ed Bellringer, president of the
organization, was master of cere-
monies and introduced special
guests and the entertainers. Prior
to the dinner and as part of the
programs Patsy Black of Palmer
presented a number of organ
numbers. Nancy and Ernie Slime
berg, also of Palmer, entertained
with accordian selections: Gloria
Cross of Chugiak and a number
OF her dance pupils entertained
with tap and ballet numbers and
the four Johnson brothers, Tony,
Steve, Pete, and Kip, entertain
ed with guitar and bongo drums.
The entertainment was well re-
oelved by those attending.

No Reply Received
Regarding City Offer

No written reply has been re-
ceived by the City of Palmer re-
garaing their offer to AL King
to lease his property at Palmer
Automotive. Because the City
has made unalterable commit
ments to abate the problem of
dispensing gasoline on the pub
lie street, it is anticipated that
specific legal action will be in
stituted at the next regular meet
ing Of the City Council. The City
had offered to rent the upper
portion of the garage from MT.
King for the sum Of $500 per
month for period of three years.
The gasoline pumps, located at
the front Of the building, would
be permanently removed.
The proposal was made to Mr.
King following many weeks Of
discussion regarding the problem
of dispensing gasoline at the Pal
mer Automotive which because
of the location Of the pumps, takes
place in the street. According to
an agreement made between the
City of Palmer and the Bureau of
Public Roads there would be no
dispensing of gasoline on the
streets which are to be paved by
BPR in the spring.

DIR ECTORS believe
PROPOSAL. MOST
EQUITABLE METHOD

At their October meeting the
Valley Hospital Association board
of directors moved to seek q
share of. Palmer's sales tax fund
to- help ease the unreasonable
credit demands of Palmer's BUSH
nesses. THE hospital can BE- ex-
pected To run a deficit of DIT least
$4,000 a year out Of d total
budget of nearly $150,00O", ex-
planned board president, Allan
HI. Mick. ''This is disclosed by
careful study of operations in the
new building during the past
three years." he added.
In an effort to make ends
meet a great burden has been
placed on local businesses; first
bn one group and then on an
other. The only way of spreading
the burden fairly Is through some
kind, of a tax basis. The only
means available at present is to
ask for a share of the sales tax
fund which comes from the entire
community. Six thousand dollars
year is adequate to offset the
nonpayment Of bills by valley
residents. The remainder of the
deficit should b. sought from the
Territory, according to the board
of directors.
The hospital board asks that
individuals and groups discuss
this matter and pass their con
illusions on to the City Council
IF sufficient interest develops,
the board will be eager to dis
cuss details with the Council,
they stated. 1t is unlikely the
Council will consider the ques-
ton unless Council members are
sure that it meets with general
approval Of the entire commun-
ity, commented Mick
The move taken by the direc-
tors was done in the form OF Z
resolution which shows the an
nual payroll of the hospital being
nearly 100000, contributing ma
terially To the economy of Pal
ner and environs. It discloses
the annual deficit of some $1O,-
900 Is derived chiefly from nom
payment for services rendered to
persons and families without
adequate cash resources to meet
he full expense Of sickness. The
board stated they believe the
community as whole is able
and willing to underwrite a p0r-
ton of this deficit, and that a
method of orderly contributions
spread over the entire commun-
ity is generally preferred over
sporadic fund raising campaigns
and frantic efforts to meet fire.
