ONE REASON why we
have always respected the
things Jane Jacobs has said
about cities is that she likes
cities well enough to be a
city dweller.
This doesn't make her in
fallible. But when she has
something to say. it deals, at
least, with matters in which
she has a personal concern.
In the past, and in the
present, some of the cities
biggest problems have been
Gated by people who
haven't wanted to live in
cities.
Some of these people who
don't like cities profess a
great concern for the cities
future. 1t is natural that
residents of suburbs should
have only a secondhand in
-tereSt in the city. They are
not living in one, so their
concern is academic, If it
exists at all.
But some other people are
actively hostile toward cities.
They don't like them, don't
want anything to do with
them, and can't understand
what attraction they could
have for anybody as a place
to live.
Included in this group,
strangely enough, are some
people who have been among
the most active in exerting
an influence on city plan
ming and city change-and
old Ebenezer Howard was
the most influential of them
all.

Current ACP Funds Are Now Exhausted

The Palmer County Agricul- tural Conservation Program has at this time obligated all of 1862 program funds, it was announced this week. We must temporarily close the pro- gram for 1862" said John Nash, ACP office manager. The ASC office will continue to accept applications for cost sharing to allow farmers to take advan- tage of the fact that all present approvals may not complete the actual work.
 The local ACP committee is composed of Roland Snodgrass and Raymond DePriest, Pal mer dairy farmers, and Arne Carson, Wasilla area farmer.
 Nash states that the 1863 pro- gram will be open sometime in late August or early Sep tember of 1862. This will give farmers an opportunity to cost share in fall land clearing, live stock wells, and other practices that can be carried out in the fall of the year.

Sometime between the year 1908 and 1909, the correct year escapes me, some Finnish homesteaders settled in Katch- emak Bay in Cook Inlet. Home steads were staked, even a town was laid out. The idea was to send for more Finnish farmers from Finland, but the LISA. made immigration to America and Alaska almost nil. The idea was abandoned and only a couple of old fence post are there today.

Strange Things :
By Heinie Snider

The late William Randolph Hearst, multi-millionaire news paperman, owned thousands of acres of land on his estate San Semeon. Among the hundreds of wild and tame animals were Alaska Dahl sheep, caught by Carl Anderson, member of Pioneer Igloo No. Is, Anchor age. A young man at that time, Anderson trapped the full grown mountain sheep and took it down the mountain back of Eklutna. The expedi- tion's trials and tribulations is story in itself.
 Some years ago Paramont Pictures, Inc. was preparing a movie of a demented man lost in the wilds of Alaska. To make the film more realistic, bears and wolverine were trapped and sent to Hollywood. One day my partner, Herman Kloby and I, coming down the Willow Creek Mountain, noticed a strange looking sled track in the snow We followed the track to Fishhook Creek and there the mystery was cleared up. In addition to other crates here stood one, still on the sled. Inside was a large, live, very angry wolverine. He had been trapped by the late Sherron FleekenStein In due time he received a check for $500. P.S. The film was never shown.
 Among the many gem stones in the fireplace in our home, and on the mantle, is an anne thyst. The word amethyst is composed of two Greek words meaning mot to be drunk" The ancients believed this stone, consisting of violet blue variety of crystalline quartz, would keep the wearer sober. In those days drinking cups were made of amethyst, to prevent the user from getting drunk. The amethyst is also known as the Bishop tone, from the wide use in the Bishops ring, a ring worn by Bishops on the third finger of the right hand and symbolizing the Bish- op is welded to his diocese.

Calvary

Calvary, the name of the site of Christ's Crucifixion, comes from the Latin word for skull. The place may have gotten the name from it's shape, from skulls seen there in ancient times, or from a legend that the skull of Adam was buried there. No one knows the actual site of Calvary, reports World Book Encyclopedia, but tradi- ton places 1t where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now stands.

The State agency found that
