Members of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday of this week endorsed resolution urging re-alignment and shortening of the Glenn Highway between the Matanuska Valley, the most productive agri- cultural area in Alaska and the 18th States largest consuming center. the Greater Anchorage market

 It was brought out that the main highway connecting route from the other 48 states and other { regions of Alaska into the greater Anchorage area and the Kenai Peninsula can be shortened by some l2 miles, thereby benefit ting over one half of Alaska s non- urban vehicular traffic.
 The resolution will be present ed at the All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce convention to be held \ in Anchorage, October 23, 24, and I25.

Local Engineers Discover Huge
 verlil licuIite Vein

Discovery of a 200-foot-wide vein of vermlculite in the 40 mile area was announced this week by two local mining engineers, James Hubert and Julius Moore.
 The discovery was actually made in August of this year, fol- lowing several months of pros pecting in the Alaskan wilder ness. Earlier announcement was withheld until proper location and stalking had been done on nine claims measuring 600Xl500 feet each
 According to Hubert, [ th e claims are approximately l8 miles from the nearest road.
 Samples of the Product have been obtained by Territorial Min ing Engineer, Bob Saunders who has shipped them to the Univer- sity of Alaska assay office at ColI lege, Alaska.
 If results reveal satisfactory expansion qualities and good grade, we will formulate plans for speedy development and pro- duction', said MT. Hubert.

 The week of September 1T through g is designated as Con- stitution Week by the President of the United States, and in the state of Alaska by Acting Cover nor, Waino Hendrickson.
 4endrickson urges all citizens to pay special attention during the week to t--.e Federal Constitution and the advantages of American citizenship.
 We offer an Amen" to Gov. Hendrickson's suggestion. In fact, it wouldn't be amiss if all citizens were to read that historic docu- ment. Many would be reading it for the first time The preamble itself, should be imprinted indelib- iy on the minds of the citizens. Here it is:

Flexibility is given to the Con- stitution with the enactment of amendments. There have been relatively few in the I'll years since it was adopted.
 One being proposed now as H.J. Res. 355. The majority of people will no doubt be in sym pathy with it. Its progress will be interesting to follow. Author of it is Willis E. Stone. It provides that:
 See. I. The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, com merciai. financial or industrial enterprise except as specified in the Constitution.
 ''Sec. 4. Congress sha' not levy taxes on personal incomes, inheri- tanceS agsd9or gifts
 Research Reveals Violations
 In the words of Stone: Five years of research from 1914 to 1949 disclosed a multitude of violations of the Constitution and the advantages which would be attained by return to constitu- tional principals.

More than 5000 organizations have adopted resolutions in support of it. The State of Illinois has official ly approved the Amendment.
 The compilation of data has re- yealed that, by getting government out of direct competition with it's own citizens, the cost of govern ment will be reduced by an amount greater than the total volume of income taxes collected every year.
 According to Stone, there are two bills already introduced in the House, the latest on May 5, l953,. 10 investigate tine AaccfvfLfeS of the Government of the United States that compete with economic activities of private taxpaying citizens" and provide for a Com mission on Government competi- ton. with Private Enterprise, ]" Every citizen should be informed on an issue that affects him in his everyday life, such as this.

tic hours that followed dinner
seemed to have been forecasted
by the prominence of the treble

door, greeting the guests as they
arrived.
The table arrangement could not
be rated below that seen in high

greetings was expressed in five
languages in place cards at the
tables. Merry Xmas was inscribed
in Spanish, French, German, Tag

Following dinner, the Holiday
spirit was kept up by the singing
of Christmas carols and reinforced
by invading classical music and
even the operatic Arias.
Mrs. Curtis Mann started the
incursion into the music of the
Masters by singing cave Maria"
and La Franqueza," and Mrs.
Prisca Langoey followed suit. On
the instrumental side, Miss Eliza

nesse and authority, while Prof.

guitar that there is another Sc
