T0URISm PROJECT
TO Be- STARTED
BY LOCAL JAYCEES

Tourist attraction has been TAX
en- up by the recently organized
Matanuska Valley Junior Cham
Der of Commerce as their first
project, it was announced this
week By John Gore, Jaycee presi-
dent.
The Valley Jaycees hope dur
ing their project to erect a log
cabin type structure within Col
ony Park; prepare and distribute
brochure on the original val
ley. settlers which would contain
history Of the settlers, their
place Of origin and when they
came to the valley. It is hoped
that pictures of the early-day set
tiers Will be included.
Among their plans the young
men hope to- erect signs at the
original valley farm sites, com
pile and make available to the
visitors map showing the To-
cation of these farms and other
points Of interest such as area
resorts. The brochure would in
clude brief history of the val
ley.
To complete this very ambi-
tious and worthwhile project the
Jaycees will be calling on other
local organizations for aid and
work.
The need for a tourist center,
where they may obtain informa-
ton about the famous Matanus-
ka Valley, has long been recog-
nized in this area by several or
CARNATIONS. Through the local
Chamber of" Commerce and the
Alaska Visitors Association, last
year several thousand colored
brochures on the valley were dis
ributed throughout Alaska and
the States. However, these bro
chures did not specifically high
light the early settlers or the col
ony farmers. Other than few
out-dated maps that are made
available to the public through
the courtesy of local business
establishments, there is no litera-
ture available for the tourist at
the present time.
The Valley Jayvees hope
through this project to not only
get the tourists coming here for
a vacation, but enjoying them
selves while they are here, and
publicize the valley to their
friends upon their return home.

constituted governments. Undoubtedly, too, the proposal
represents a pOliticO-ecOnOmic tendency which cannot be
overlooked, if we are going to facts.
There is no question of unreasonable disarmament
but, rather, it is a matter of a readjuStment in the selection
OF ornaments and their limitation on the basis of each

and the defense of their sovereignty. 1t implies the neces.
SHy OF substituting heavy ornaments by the utilization of

titled in advance by Public Works
Minister Roberto Salazar Gomez,
! and was able to escape a few
minute before the arrival Of the
patrol that was to arrest him.
There was intense fire in the
center of Bogota for some time.
No casualties have been reported
yet. Piedrahita went to the Pres
idential Palace, which was sur
rounded by loyal forces, and i'm
medlately began giving orders for
a counterattack.
The Presidential Candidate of
the two-party coalition, Alberto
Lleras Camargo, miraculously
escaped being captured, and went
to the Presidential Palace, where
he Joined ~Piedrahita. Lleras' res
ldence was surrounded by police
forces early in the morning, and,
the adjacent streets were blocked.
From a place where he took refuge
for three hours, Lleras made two
recordings calling on all Colom-
blans to begin a general strike if
the rebels continued in control.
He also asked civilians to remain
calm.
Lleras asked the people to
support the armed forces trying
to maintain order and to re-esta-
blish normally, faithful to their
patriotic feelings"
He said this was a difficult mt.
ment for the country, but that he
had compete conference in the
faithful forces action, saying that
if the situation is not satisfac-
torily settled, the whole nation
will have to take a similar action
to that Of May 10, 1857, when it
was stopped to outs ex-President
Rojas Pinilla.
After Lleras Camargo, Laureano
Gomez spoke by the broadcasting
chains, saying he repeated to the
people of Colombia to keep peace,
referring to the riot occurred.
Gomez said that "when liberties
are attained they must be preserv-
ed" inviting all the people of Co.
lombia to join to reach, that goal.
He later said that "life is woth-
less without liberty. What we
regained on May 10 we cannot
miss =. We have to be strong with
those who try to break our liber-
ties we have to give our support
to the armed forces against chose
survivors of deplorable past times"
