''has not neglected Democrat
Since there is his pro-
portional representation "a
natural consequence of our
present voting structural in
the majority coalition, Gov
ernor P~aiewonsky issues
the lions share Of patron
age to the Unity Party, a
significant share to Senator
Hodge, the independent, &
q reasonable share to Sena-
tor Guadeloupe, the Virgin
Islands Party senator. In
doing this, however, he has
not neglected Democrats,
although the Democrats are
in the minority in the legis-
1ature and did not unani-
mously endorse him for the
governorship Of the Virgin
Islands. The State Chair
man of the Democrats of the
Virgin Islands has empha-
sized the fact time and
again.
Little wonder, then, that
so many good citizens are
confused, when the same
persons who are condem-
ing their governor for his
proportional patronage sys-
tenn not only defended it be-
fore, but now are clamoring
for retention of an appor-

this proportional patronage
inevitable to an astute poll

Members of the Matanuska Valley Health Council recent ly purchased a portable optom- eter for use in the health cen ter. According to Priscilla Ba- con, public health nurse, this new instrument will perhaps make it possible to extending screening facilities to adults and pre-schoolerS. The machine was purchased by the Council for use in the health center be- cause the State does not own a sufficient number of the ma chimes to provide one in the To- cal center.

Over 100 persons attended the borough meeting held March 5 to discuss school or ganization under borough gov ernment. A cooperative and constructive attitude contribut- ed toward the analysis of ex- pected initial costs, probable tax levy rates and encourage ment to include all schools in the Matanuska- Susitna valleys under one program.
 One point of major concern earlier expressed in outlying areas concerned the bonded in debtedneSS of the Palmer In dependent School District. Will liam Zahradnieck, superintend- ent of Palmer schools, pointed out that the present cigarette tax returned to the district, is
 ear-marked' for amoritiZing this indebtedness. Under pro- visions of the borough law, compliance with this policy can
 be maintained until the debt is cancelled.
 Costs of all schools, now op- erating in the area were pro- vided by the State Department of Education and indicated a total outlay of S296,000 for 100 i percent state supported schools. Comparison with the PISD
 udget indicated $19,000 miscel-
 laneous items and $69,500 (75 percent participation would be required of local effort to pro-
 vide local control over the [ area-wide school program. In
 addition to the PIDS contribu- ton of $252,000, the over all costs approximates $341, GOO. Projected costs of operating I the new Wasilla high school are being developed by the committee on schools and will be available in the next report). It was brought out that when Federal impact funds are sub tracted, projected shared taxes, which are presently available to independent school districts, the additional costs above that now paid in the area would am ount to $36,000. Indications of the revenue committee show that some $36 million real pro- perty evaluation exists in the proposed borough. AreaWide levies then, under the present state-support program, would be 10 mills on full market value, as recommended in the Ford Foundation Report. It was pointed out that full mar ket value" would return to the voter complete control of tax levy decisions, whereas under the present system defeat of millage raises by the voters is adjusted by increasing the per cent of full value which the as sessing body may be using.
 Re-eValuation of property, if done under the full market val ue program, is open to appeal to the borough assembly and the city council, depending upon where the property is located.
 Indication that consideration is being given to Basic Foundation Support program by the state was brought out and if adopted, area-wide schools would receive a higher percentage of state-support than at present. Such a pro- gram was recommended by the Ford Foundation committee and covered in it's report.
 The attitude of those attend ing the March 5 meeting show ed desire to meet the program presently being maintained in
