City Manager Outlines Survival Plans

our bases might be subjected only to a conventional bomb- ing attack, which would still cut off our source of supply and probably our power source.
 Thus, he pointed out, emer- gency preparations should ran- ge all the way from those where chances of survival are minimum to a plan which. would conserve our available resources until the emergency period is concluded.
 Each family of the area is urged to lay in the following essential items: battery-power- ed radio, flashlight or lantern, candles and matches, food, fuel, first aid supplies and other per sonal material, such as clothing and bedding. These supplies should be in sufficient quanti- ties to last for a minimum of two weeks following an attack. Each person and family must practice strict conservation to insure that these items are neither wasted nor consumed

 By taking steps for their own survival, individuals and fam lilies will decrease their need for welfare services during the first two weeks following an attack. They must respect the law and cooperate with law en- forcement officers.
 Each person is responsible for learning techniques neces- sary to minimize the casualty producing effect of pathological, biological. and chemical war fare.

The responsibility of the in- dividual in making plans for survival in case of enemy at tack was stressed this week by Winstone Gilchrist, Palmer city manager and civil defense chairman for the city.
 We will have to take care of ourselves" he stated. There are no plans for the state and federal governments to take over"
 He emphasized the need to prepare for the worst, pointing out what would happen if 20- megaton ground-burst hit in the Anchorage area. Source of supply would be wiped out, and prevailing winds would carry an initial 5000 roentgens of fallout per hour to our area. (against which chances of sur vival in basement would be one in ten, in shelter one in three).

 Children using the bus will pay a nominal fare, and t h e operators of the ski area have agreed to charge bus riders only half-price for use of the tow. A committee headed by Sam Rieger was appointed to attempt to raise the necessary money from local organiza- tions with youth service in- terests.
 It was announced that t h e current PTA membership drive will end Dec. 3. Prizes will be awarded to all students in rooms with a sign-up of more than 50 per cent of the potent ial membership. MT.

 Shelter areas should have covered containers for garbage and human wastes. A supply of grocery bags and newspapers, useful for sanitary purposes should be maintained in a To- cation free from the hazard.
 Individual and family groups must be self-reliant in the face of fire, improvising to help eradicate fire hazards.

The Anchorage port is now handling many of the valley products, including fertilizer, Strandberg went on. He stress ed that the cost of transporta- tion in regard to export is no longer problem. The port committee is always ready to meet with any group of the area he added.
 Phil O'Neill, president of the MEA board of directors, out lined the comparative costs of hydro-electric project and mine-mouth power, citing the Parsons Report figures for in- itial cost of mine-mouth power at $250 per XIV as compared to $l 800 per XIV for hydro power.

 CHRISTMAS PACKAGES NEXT WEEK

that parcel post is now receiv- ed daily, and that the post of flee has very little room to ac- commodate the large number of packages that will come In dur ing the Christmas rush. She urged that parcels be picked up often to keep them from pill ing up.
 Although the daily closing hour for outgoing mail is 4 p.m., Mrs. John urged patrons to bring in letters and parcels early in the day to spread the work load for the staff during the busy weeks preceding Christmas.
 Stateside mail comes in be- fore 8 am. once daily except Sunday.
 The postmistress said that many persons are inquiring about the postal rate raises passed by the last Congress. These will not go into effect un- til Jan. 2, 1863.

 Sufficient food supplies for a minimum of two weeks should consist of food not requiring re- frigeration, such as canned, dried, or dehydrated foods, packaged to maintain quality and protection from fallout. Certain basic ingredients, such as sugar, flour, yeast and short ening should be included. The largest percentage of all food stored should be edible with out heating. Drinking water, sufficient for a minimum of two weeks, should be stored with the food. Portions of emergency supplies should be kept in a separate container for quick movement.
 Cars should be kept in good running order and ready for use if movement is necessary. Cars may provide very limited refuge from radioactive fallout where shelters or other struc- lures are not readily accessible. One member of each fam

Parcels going to distant states should be mailed during the week of Dec. 3 : 8 to insure de- livery before Christmas, Mrs. Bea John, Palmer postmistress, has announced. Gift packages for local and nearby delivery should be mailed not later than Dec. 12.
 Greeting cards for distant states ought to be posted no later than Dec. 10, and those for local delivery by Dec. Is in order to insure delivery by Christmas Day, Mrs. John said. She added that there will be no delivery of Christmas cards and letter mail on Dec. 25.
 The postmistress asked that patrons sort large quantities of letters for "out of town" and 'local' delivery, banding them with labels which may be ob- tained at the postoffice. Secur- ing the bundles with rubber bands will simplify the sorting job of the postal clerks in get ting the letters on their way.
 We urge our patrons to use four-cent stamps on their out of-town cards, as this affords them forwarding privileges not allowed with a three-cent stamp" Mrs. John said. "If a card is worth buying and mail ing, it should be worth the ex- tra cent it takes to insure de- livery"

The Anchorage mayor stated that the city of Anchorage will co. operate with the area coopera- tives in finding solutions to common power problems, pointing out that the city has already met with the MEA board of directors.
 Red Allen, representing the Alaska Railroad, said that the railroad has instituted an in dustrial planning board which now meets once a month, and which plans to survey the Rail- belt from Seward to Fairbanks for possible industrial sites.
 The railroad is also planning a five-year rehabilitation pro- gram, the labor cost of which will be in excess of $400,000 Allen stated.
 Dick Albers, member of the economic development commit tee of the Anchorage chamber, pointed out that the problems of Anchoraeg are similar to the problems of the valley, and stated that their committee is at present studying a commun- ity development program. This is similar to one that has been tried by about dozen cities throughout the country, in which all problems of the con- munity come before the com
