Liberty Bell Brigade Continues To Boost
 Statehood For Hawaii

NEW YORK, R - Jackson Me Bride, Honolulu, chairman of the Iiberty Bell Brigade" stumping for statehood for Hawaii, arrived here Saturday in his truck which carries 3,000-pound liberty bell replica
 Mcbride flew to San Francisco from Honolulu, picked up his 115 ton truck and bell, and started cross country on July 2. He has 3pubicized the brigade's plea for statehood in many cities and towns across the country.
 Mcbride spent Friday night aboard his truck. The purpose of his trip, he said, is to take the statehood plea ito the people, with the idea of getting all the publicity possible"
 Mcbride, 35, is married and the father of two small children. Mcbride said the brigade was formed month ago and has at least 37 other members, including businessmen, a college professor, ministers, lawyers, and news and radio men.
 Mcbride said he himself is public relations director of the Dairymen's Assn, Milk Division. He said money for the trip and bell came from donations among residents of Ouhu Island.
 Friday in Washington, capitol policemen made Mcbride move his truck off Capitol grounds. He was told that only trucks making deliveries were permitted on the capitol plaza-with a permit.
 i Sitting in a rainstorm, Mcbride told police he was delivering a message" and thus qualified as ] a delivery man.
 Mcbride added he "got in three good rings" on the bell before he was forced to remove his truck from the capitol grounds.

HUNDREDS REQUIRING ABOUT THE VALLEY

Interest in the Matanuska Val ley is keeping personnel busy in many Palmer business and agency offices. Inquiries at some agencies have doubled over the average ..in the past few years, and in some cases have tripled.
 The Alaska Department of Ag- ricnlture seems to be getting the greatest volume, with 99 inquir ies received and answered last week and about 50 new ones arriving on Monday morning. The Soil Conservation Service, Extension Service, and Experi ment Station all are receiving daily inquiries. "A number of residents have subscrib- ed to the local newspaper and the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, which was accus- toned to seven or eight inquiries a week, now finds their volume more than doubled. The Matan- uska Valley Chamber of Com nlerce is receiving more and more inquiries, averaging about 10 a day; and the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association reports a marked increase iii the same type mail.
 The majority Of the inquiries are in regards to agriculture, homesteading, schools, churches, and employment. Many of the questions are being answered by the federal and territorial offices with bulletins concerning agri- culture in Alaska. The Experi- ment Station has received a num- Der of inquiries from magazines and journals planning articles on Alaska. .

hood in Alaska he stated
 The speaker. past president of the Alaska Bar Association, said the referendum to be presented to the voters on August 26 is the most important referendum ever presented and will be the most important for some years to come Tt is our only chance for self government never before have Alaskans in the outlying areas had chance for represen- tation in local government. The Alaska Constitution provides that every area in Alaska have repre- sentation in the State Legislature Alaskans will have a voice and votes in Washington, DC.
 'It is normal and human to not want changes" he pointed out However, 1t boils down now to the question of being fit or unfit to govern ourselves. We will pay taxes pay what we want to pay-no one knows for certain until the Legislature meets and sets the taxes. It is up to us to elect competent i'm dividuals to the Legislature.
 The visitor urged strongly that everyone do everything possible to correct unfounded rumors- We are hearing many claims that the Indians will be put on reservations how could this be true when ALL Alaskans have the same rights one hears talk that the outlying areas will be highly taxed . this taxing will be determined by those per sons themselves stress the fact that no pre-registration IS necessary to vote <" he urged.
 During a brief discussion peri od which followed 1t was brought out that each Legislature for the past several years has increas- ed taxes necessary because of increases in population and the populations requirements. It was pointed out that 50 per cent of the taxes last year went into the education programs in Alaska, and that this was not enough. Statehood will not mean in-. creased taxes the requirements of the people are what increases the taxes, one Chamber member pointed out
 We are smart enough to govern ourselves" stated Davis. We know better what we need and want than do officials some 4,000 miles away"

 During this period, Alaska housewives and consumers will be asked to watch for and buy Alaska grown vegetables and other farm foods At the same time stores, restaurants, markets and wholesalers will be asked to make special sales efforts on be- half of Alaska products of all kinds,
 Alaska Farm Month is sponsor ed by the University of Alaska Agricultural Extension Service and the Alaska Department of Agriculture. H. P. Gazaway, head of the Extension economics and marketing division, and James w. Wilson, commissioner Of agri- culture, will direct and coordin- ate the campaign. District agri- cultural and home agents and experiment station personnel in Palmer, and throughout Alaska, will also play an active role.
 With the Alaska Statehood Ple- biscite coming midway in Alaska Farm Month August 26) partici- pants in the promotion campaign expect to meet with more public enthusiasm and interest than ever before, in all aspects of Al ~aska development
 One of the basic features of AL aska Farm Month will be sales promotion in retail stores through use of colorful Nugget Buy" cards posted alongside vegeta- Dles, milk, meat, eggs, fish and other Alaska foods. The cards will also De displayed in restaur- ants. at fairs, on TV and wher- ever possible to acquaint custom CTS with the idea of watching for Alaska marked products.

present organIzational structure was sketchy.
 1t is to be noted, the group spokesman said, that the present plan of organization was adopted NM 1855 only after some five months of study, and was estab- lished with the hope of putting the hospital on a sound economic basis This structure eliminated superfluous personnel to a de- gree that the Board was able, at that time, to raise the salaries of all hospital personnel and still reflect a sound economic policy and a higher degree of efficiency.
 The interested group feels that during the past three years the hospital's financial statements have reflected this, and also the efficiency and harmony between hospital employees, medical staff, board of directors and patients has been excellent. The employ ees and particularly department heads, have worked towards ac- creditation standards which ob- Vi0usly are designed to insure the general public off high standard of hospital and medical care.
