Mothers Day

NhOtlcf , Ddy
Happy and fortunate ar
those who can next Sunday
pay honor and respect. and
love to their mother in per.
son. Many of us are less
fortunate because memory is
now all we have. Neverthe
less, Mothers Day to all OF
US is a very important and
hallowed event in our life
You find it impossible to
understand or explain mother
and you bother her very little
about the great mystery. You
are safe in knowing she Will
always love you and do for
you all the things for which
she is capable and longs to
be able to do more.
She's your guardian angel.
No matter how unworthy you
may be of all the attention
she showers upon you and
how trying you may be at
times, you know that her love
for you will remain mistaken
and that to her you will al
ways be a sweet, lovable, in
nocent youngster created for
her affection.
Mother may be SO tired that
she falls asleep, but she will
hear her child's weakest cry
in the wee small hours Of the
night, and be instantly by
its side. She watches over
you from day to day from the
time you came into this old
world, until she departs and
then the memory of the won
derful love fingers on and
continues to play an impor-
tant part in your life.
Mother is never too busy
nor too tired to look after
your comforts and pleasure
and to lend a sympathetic
ear and a helping hand in
your troubles. All over our
land, devoted children will GO
home for Mothers Day" to
express in flowers, gifts, and
love, their gratitude for the
one who has given the best
of her life for them.
Sometimes we say "this is
a mans world" but we really
know better, for the destinies
of nations and the outcome
of civilizations rest largely
in the hands of mothers. Nc
wonder it has been said thai
"the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world"
How we need in this life to
have those near us who be.
lieve in us, even when others
do not, who stand by us

Associate Home Agent

In most homes, the kit
chen is the center of family
living and many activities
other than meal preparation
takes place there. For this
reason, kitchens should be
planned with the needs of the
family in mind.
Families enrolled on the
Farm and Home Planning
program can receive informa-
ton on kitchen planning with
special emphasis on conven-
fence to the homemaker. We
stress the Importance of
enough cabinet space and
enough counter space.
Cabinet space can be utili-
zed effectively if you plan
the amount of storage space
needed, and the amount of
work space required. You will
need table space at either side
of the sink, near the stove and
by the refrigerator. Upper
cabinets should extend to the
ceiling and lower cabinets
should have toe space at the
bottom. Allow Is inches bet
ween upper cabinet and low
er cabinet.
Comfortable working sur
faces are essential in any con-
venient kitchen. Fatigue from

FARMERS TO GET ASSISTANCE IN RESIDING

Assurance has been received from Undersecretary Burns of the United States Department of Agriculture that funds will be available for emergency seeding of Winter-killed brome grass in the Matanuska Valley area, according to John D. Nash, County ASCS manager.
 Nash said that the local ASCS office in the American Legion Building is now accept ing applications for assistance in reseeding, and that farmers planning to take advantage of the program are urged to come in as soon as possible, so that a complete evaluation of needs may be made,
 The situation looks more hopeful after the rains early in the week followed by two days of sunshine, the ASCS manager said with many fields again showing some life. Total kill is now estimated at 10 percent, a considerable downward revl- sion of the original estimate of 75 percent. 1900 to 2500 acres may be reseeded, Nash said.
 The local ASCS Committee has requested that farmers be allowed to make replantings on alternate plots because of the difficulty in working up the Winter-killed fields, and has re- ceived assurance from the state committee that this can be done, the manager added.

 He pointed out that the pre- liminary plan can be expanded and amended within the year, but that no action is possible without the preliminary step.
 The overall plan includes sections on agriculture, miner als, forestry, tourism and pow CT development.

 Limitations of Powers
 The proposed charter would grant voters of the city th e power of initiative, referen- dunn. an d recall. Boundaries are set for the administrators through limitations of borrow ing power Chapter XI, Section 11.2) and limitations on tn Q granting of franchises Chapter II, Section 12.D.
 Overlapping of city powers and state or borough govern ment powers is avoi d e d through action by the state legislature, which, in the words of Lucy Mick, former secretary of the League of Alaskan Ci- ties, when 1t wishes to pre- empt certain powers for t h e state alone, specifically pro hibits local governments from exercising them. Thus, a 196f law prohibits local govern ments from levying income taxes. Again, the borough law prohibits cities within an or ganized borough from exereis- ing the mandatory n d ex- elusive powers of the borough assessment and collection of taxes, operating schools within the borough, and planning and zoning."
 Home rule cities, however, may deal with any matter which reasonably m ay be found in local government.
 Voters who have not already done so are urged by tn e. members of the commission to read the charter carefully be- fore going to the polls.
