Top 4-H Citizens
 To Be Recognized

During the coming months, over 2A million All boys and girls will be establishing rec ordS which will earn two of them national recognition as the outstanding All boy and girl citizens in America.
 Also at stake are awards for the top boy and girl All cit izens in each state. The awards are based on the dem mOnstration of praiseworthy participation in public affairs, civic welfare, community betterment and club responsibilities.
 The national winners will re- ceive an expense-paid trip to the 1862 National All Club Congress in Chicago. The top rated boy and girl in each state are given a certificate of honor. usually presented them during a special All recognition event.
 Conducted by the Coopera- tive Extension Service, the pro- gram IS sponsored through the National All Service Commit tee by a fund set aside for the purpose in memory of the late Thomas E. Wilson of Chicago, who, during his lifetime, gave both moral and financial sup port to the All program.
 National award winners in this program will be in line for one of the All programs high est honors-being named to re- present All members during National All Club Week next March.

Wasilla-Talkeetn Dear Editor:
 l believe the followin, should be brought to the at tention of the citizens of Pal mer.
 The outlying area would lik, to achieve for it's children tho same advantages experienced by children in the Independen School District. We canno. form a School District unde, the Constitution unless we cal 1t a Borough. The existing Tn. dependent School District can. not continue to exist as suct beyond July l, 1863, unless ii too is called a Borough.
 A new District cannot be formed if it can be serviced by an existing district. Particular ly, ln this area, the standards for incorporation dictate t h e consolidation of the natural community, common interests. geography and other social ties. Since the Independent School District surrounds the City of Palmer, 1t is naturally a part of the School District and should be included. T h e sharing of mutual functions is inherent in the City's desire to economiZe.
 We are only asking that the Independent School District be enlarged to include Wasilla to Talkeetna and that local gov ernment, as you know it in Palmer, be extended to us. Lo- cal services, we will pay for as we need them. If you see, as we do, the advantage of consol- idating some of our local governmental expenses then and only then, those services will be classified AREA-WIDE and would become a mutual responsibility. Area wide serv- ices may only be designated if a majority of your city council and two-thirds of the Assembly concur. Your City Council is represented on this Assembly.
 The City of Palmer exper- fences local government in the fact that it has a City Council of six (6) members and a Mayor to preside over the busi- ness of l,200 people. This will not change under any circum- stances of Borough govern ment. The outlying IT e a, on the other hand, depending on the influence of a few within the City, may be denied t h s same degree of local govern ment. You would ask us to pay more taxes, yet have no more say in governing the activities affecting our everyday lives than we now have in the State legislature. The rural areas of the Valley could easily and without doubt arrive without any voice in the Local Gov ernment".
 The petitions circulating for the formation of a Borough III Matanuska-Susitna Valleys ask no more or less than that stat ed above.
 The Borough Study Commit tee is available to explain the Borough law and the finances involved in the Borough-City relationship. We will accept in vitations to speak to all groups of any size. We are not selling propaganda. We are interested in seeing a job come to an end that was assigned to us three years ago. The results are available, and we have found to our satisfaction tn t Bor- ough government can be main tained and function to the ben eft of all the residents.

Speakers
Address
Auxiliary

Representative Edith Green
Of Oregon told the Ladies
Auxiliary to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars yesterday that
American women can play a
major role in achieving peace
by helping to remove the
national hatreds."
They can do this, she said,
in the way they raise their
children, by teaching the
young that there are chill
dren in other countries like
themselves, who play like
them and feel like them.
Assigned to the topic,
"Women's Responsibility for
Young People," Mrs. Green
began by saying, GAS a wom-
an, I'm always a bit reluc-
tant to separate women's
responsibilities from mems"
because to restrict important
concerns to one sex is to
Islander" the other. There
are not mems or women's,
but citizens responsibilities"
she said.
She called the preserva-
ton of peace 1.-The moral
imperative" of our times and
urged all parents "to make
sure our young people know
they can't retire from this
responsibility.
LIT is our obligation not
to pretend there are pat an
.swers or easy solutions to
very complex problems. but
to develop critical thinking
among young people. We must
prepare them not only to find
answers to the problems of
today but also to be trained
to answer questions which the
21st century will bring, ques-
tions which none of us today
can possibly foresee."
The auxiliary, which was
having the final session of
its two-day Midwinter Con-
ference at the Hotel Stat
Ter Hilton, later heard an
address by Mrs. Katie Louch-
helm, Deputy Assistant Sec
rotary of State for Public
Affairs.
In much the same spirit,
Mrs. Louchheim told the
women that "the spirit of
democracy is only as real and
meaningful as it is in prac-
tice. When we preach liberty
and freedom for all, we must
not only mean it but live it."

The Washington Commit

friends of the Service Of It's
recent progress.
In speaking of the Service.
Miss Helen e. Browne, as

IFS international Importance
in that many graduates
Of the Frontier Graduate
school Of Midwifery are now
practicing their profession in
such far flung places as At
RIGA (including the Congo)
and Asia.
The Frontier Nursing Serv-

Browne lit is a demonstra-
ton in the care Of the re-
motely rural mother and
child" but then she added
I'VE never want to lose q
father" which means the care
includes the whole family.
Miss Browne laid special
stress on the Frontier Grad
uate School Of Midwifery
started In 1899 and patterned
after those in England. The
school gives a six months
course in midwifery to regis
tered nurses.
Although midwifery is not
accepted in many commu-
mites in this country, Miss
Browne said that over the
years they had delivered 49,
600 mothers lover 5000 in
their own homes) and had
lost just II. AS Of last Fall
she said they had gone for
q period Of 10 years with
1000 deliveries and no fatali-
les among the mothers.
The speaker pointed out
that their graduates were
scattered around the world
"and through this we are
reaching thousands of moth
erS." She also said many for
eign students, through the
State Department, are sent
to Kentucky to see the pro-
gram and are encouraged to
start rural care in their own
countries.
Miss Browne showed color
slides on the project which
is directed by Mrs. Mary
Breckenridge.
The pictures showed that
the nurses still have to go
on horseback many times to
reach their patients although
more and more they are able
to use jeeps.
Also pictured were many
Of the patients, the 27-bed
hospital, a small chapel re-

was Mrs. Gordon Loud,

head table was Lady Orms-

man said.
The British government first
ordered FL Al to fly Soblen to
New York yesterday, but the
line refused on orders Of the
Israeli government. Prim e
Minister David Ben-Gurion's
government appealed directly
to Britain to be relieved of the
responsibility Of transporting
Soblen, whose case has aroused
a political controversy in Israel
The Home Office insisted,
however. that it was FL AIS
responsibility to transport So
blen to the United States. Home

hours late last night, but FL Al
refused to give ground.

Soblen, meanwhile, remained
in BriXton Prison. Reliable

return him to New York as soon
as possible.
An FL AL official suggested
earlier, that Soblen's ticket
might be transferred to an
other airline. Pan American

about the matter. But Sob
