informed LaZelle that he will try to set up joint meeting be- tween the CEA board of direc- tors and the MEA directors, the MEA manager said.
 The MEA board has request ed this meeting as a result of the meeting with the REA ad- ministrator, since Clapp and his staff members expressed the feeling that it is becoming absolutely necessary that a common solution be found to area generation problems.
 REA has taken the stand that no further generation loans will be advanced in this area which are not for the benefit of all the borrowers.

MEA, Anchorage City Council Meet To Discuss Area Power Problems

Matanuska Electric Associa- ton directors and staff mem- bers met with the Anchorage City Council and it's staff on Nov. 15, and a joint CEA- -MEA meeting is planned soon, ac- cording to Mason LaZelle, MEA manager. The objective of both meetings is the exploration of possible common areas of ap- proach to the present pressing generation problems, the man. ager said.
 At the Nov. Is meeting, a re- port was made to the Anchor age city council on REA views expressed to MEA officials at Washington, D. C. meetings Oct. 29-30 with REA adminis- trator Norman Clapp and mem- bers of his staff.
 Council members expressed interest in the area approach advocated by Clapp, and in the negotiation of a power inter- change agreement among the generation agencies in the area, also urged by Clapp. This lat ter agreement would assure that the generating units own ed by all the public power pro- ducers in the area could be util- ized at peak efficiency, LaZel- le said.
 The Anchorage council asked city officials to work with MEA personnel in developing vari- ous joint avenues of approach to new generation in the area.

Cows on Stored Feed: ;: Count Will Drop Soon

Alaskans who have beenl frightened by news clippings sent to them by relatives and friends in the South AS which play up the high counts of radioactive iodine found in Ma tanuska Valley milk during the year ending Sept. 29, 1862, are the victims of misrepresenta- tion of the facts, Stewart A. Durrant, general manager of Matanuska Maid, Inc, said to- day, He added, that cattle here are now on stored feed. and that the count will drop rapid ly.
 During the past week, the Associated Press released a news story which stated that the count of 39,660 micromic- rocuries for the past year in Palmer milk exceeds the ac- ceptable health-risk level of exposure, but which added that this level is not considered a public health hazard.
 The second point was play ed up in the Anchorage Daily Times, following an interview with Durrant in which the To- cal farm coop manager em- phasized that the radioactive iodine count has not reached the danger point.
 However, newspapers thro- ughout the United States a: well as some Alaskan news me dia have pointed up the scare angle of the story, the manager said.
 Unfortunately, whenever these news releases are made, there is a great economic inn pact on the dairy industry he stated. Many of these clip pings from Outside newspapers are now being sent to friends in Alaska, and it's effect on dairying in the Matanuska Val ley is cause for alarm"
 All of the facts in the matter have not been properly pre- sented, Durrant said. As an ex- ample, he cited a telephone conversation the manager held with Dr. Louis Arrigoni of Seattle, a member of the na- tional committee studying ra- dioactive iodine fall-out, on Nov. Is to check out the facts of the Associated Press release.
 Dr. Arrigoni said that many of the statements in the story were correct, especially those referring to the method of
The frontiersman., 1962-11-21

measuring the so-called health risk level of exposure. He stat ed that 36,500 micromicrocur-' ies is measure used in atomic industry in deciding when a person is over-eXpoSed to radia. ton, and is not a measure used in fall-out. He emphasized that, according to doctors and scient- ists, the fall-out level could be much higher without being a public health hazard.
 Durrant pointed out that on Oct. 2, 1862, a representative from the U. s. Public health service and the Alaska public health department met with representatives of Matanuska Maid, Inc, at which time a con- trolled program was set up for he cooperative to follow in case the U. s. public health author IllSS SIlOQlQ ucClOt lilc 1OolllS 131 had reached the danger point.
 This controlled program would mean that if cows were in pastures, they would be talk en from them, would be fed dry stored feed, and would not be allowed to drink water from open streams or lakes, the man. ager said.
 Tt is a known fact that any radioactive material dissipate! at the rate of 50 percent eacf eight days, so that feed storet for any length of time WoulC have a very low count" he ad ded. With the cows in tht Matanuska Valley now on stor ed feed, the count in this ares will drop rapidly"

Runway Lights Al Airpoff Aid Pilot

Twelve runway lights install led last weekend by Mason La Zelle at the Palmer airport have already helped one pilot to make a landing here, a To- cal airman said this week. The lights were purchased through funds earned by the Matanuska Valley Airmen at the Buddy Woods hangar party Nov. 2.
 The pilot, unable to make a landing in Anchorage because Merrill Field was socked in, brought his plane down sue cessfully on the Palmer run way late Sunday evening.
 Six lights have been install led at the north end of the north-south runway, four at the intersection, and two at the south end of the runway.

TWO RECEIVE
 SERIOUS BURNS
 IN SATURDAY FIRE

Two men were seriously burned Saturday afternoon in a flash fire which totally des- troyed a small cabin located across the Glenn highway from Kirk's Sales and Service at the Valley Street intersection in Palmer. The injured tenants were Ernest Hurst, 52, and Harold McComas, 39.
 Exact cause of the fire is un- known. McComas, asleep in the cabin, was awakened by the flames and leaped through a window to safety. He received burns over the upper portion of his body. Hurst was dragged from the blazing building by Gordon Smart, Palmer high school student who was driving past and was hailed by class mate, Donna Edmiston, who had noticed the flames.
 Hurst remains in serious con- dition at the 5040th Air Force Hospital, where he was taken by the Palmer ambulance. Over 60 per cent of his body was burned.
 McComas is reported to be in good condition at the Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Pal mer.
 The men were in the habit of lighting fires in the cabin stove with kerosene, and Palmer fire men are of the opinion that Hurst picked up a can of white gas, also stored in the cabin, by accident. Bremen, called to the scene at 2:30 p.m., were unable to save the building. Losses for building and furnishings are estimated at $5,000. The cabin was owned by Cleve and Mag gie Holt.
 The volunteer firemen had eXtinguished a grass fire at the Palmer library, caused by sparks from the library ehim- ney, only half hour earlier.
