SEEK LAND USE
STUDY OF MENTAL
health ACREAGE

The Matanuska Valley Cham
Der of Commerce plans to petit
ton Governor Mike Stepovich to
set UP a study group that would
determine how the million acres
of land that will be turned over
to the territory under the mental
health program can be put to
successful use.
The decision was reached at the
March 10 meeting of the local
Chamber following talk by
Bruce Kendall, president Of the
Valdez Chamber of Commerce,
during which he pointed out that
much Of this acreage could be-
put into agricultural use, on a
profitable basis.
Kendall stated that residents of
Valdez have worked on the men:
tai health program for the past
year, during which considerable:
research was done. The land COM:
mission has made no plans for
the million acres, Kendall stated.
I'VE in Valdez are anxious that
this acreage not be lost
million acres is a lot of land.
Rough surveys in Valdez have
found this your potato mar
ket, for instance, would be
wrecked by 800 additional acres
of potatoes your dairy industry
could be ruined by too many
dairy farms !. one facet Of the
agricultural field not fully ex-
plored is that of producing edible
meat animals, as a compliment to
the dairy industry. We have con-
tacted a number of persons who
have tried to raise beef and fail
ed and found that the failures
came about for various reasons:
very primatiye butchering and
processing facilities whereby no.
by-products were produced; beef.

rate with another writer on
the book and lyrics of q
musical comedy. based on
one of his stories. o, Henry

But the collaboration pro-

o. Henry would plead that
he was busy with a magazine

would explain that he was
hard at work on the play.
