The word is out that the election is around the
ner and we listen to some voters speak. On several
occasions President Kennedy has complained about
Congress not giving him what he wants. But at least
far as farm legislation is concerned Kennedy has
been politically lucky in not getting what he asked for
Early this year the President sent Congress an
omnibus farm bill which would have imposed COM
pulsory quotas all dairy producers and acreage
cuts all farmers raising and other feed
grains.
However, the farm legislation which C ongress
finally apprOved in September has pacfied many
farmers with generous boost in next years sub
sidy payments. Farmers were found turning toward
the Republicans in protest that "a ought to keep
his freedom. "
Ezra Benson made a Democrat out of me, "
called one farmer, but Kennedy is turning me back
into Republican, I'm against compulsory controls"
. Here in NavajOland USA, along the Navajo
Trail also hear about the Compulsory controls.

political party--you guessed it, they'll break another

Three Palmer establishments were broken into again this week. According to Police Chief Bernard Bouwens forced entry was made sometime after clos ing hours at the Coop Ware house, Coop Trading Post and the Palmer Moose lodge on January ?. From evidence at the establishments, 1t is be- lieved that entry was made by forcing doors with a pinch bar. No money was taken in either Coop department and only about $l0 was realized at the Moose lodge; part of this amount was taken from a pin ball machine and the balance from a Christmas jar.
 Chief Bouwens stated he and two city patrolmen, plus two State Police officers are work ing on these latest break -ins. The total now stands at 10 break-inS since November 29, when the Palmer Bowling Gen. ter was entered and over $700 was taken. On December ? Teeland's Country Store in Wasilla was entered. some $le

FINED FOR IVORY SALE WITHOUT PERMIT

Sale of raw walrus ivory without a permit authorizing the sale resulted in fine of $500 and a 60-day jail sentence for a Fairbanks man on his conviction in court there. The jail sentence and part. of the fine were suspended on condi- ttion of good behavior for one year The court also ordered confiScat.on of the ivory invol- ved
 The regulation prohibiting purchase or sale of raw ivory without q permit was written to remove the incentive for eX- ceSsiVe harvest of Walrus for their tuSks alone. Before this regulation was adopted by the Board of Fish and Game at it's first rule making session, large numbers of Walrus tuSkS were sold to tourists at a fraction of the value the ivory attains when fashioned by skilled AL aSkan ivory carvers. The per init requirement not only re- duced the incentive for taking far more walrus than are need ed for food and carving pur- poses, but also assured that the ivory would fall only in to the hands of carvers so that maxi mum value would be realized from all tusks taken This is expected to have a significant effect on the economies of such villages as Wales, Savoonga, Gambell, ShiShmaref, Little Diomede, Barrow, Point Hope and Wainright.

 During this campaign for signatures there seems to be q strong positive and optimis- tic trend toward the moving of the capital of Alaska to q more accessible location" Dr. Bailey said.
 This move for progress is particularly tic e a b le in communities, towns and cities outside the Anchorage area and seems to be equally pop ular among labor people, busi- ness men and state employ ees," he added.
 ''The proposal to elocate the capital of Alaska seems certain to be on the ballot and it appears equally certain that if voters of Alaska have t h e i opportunity to do so the ma jority will vote yes for { h c relocation,' Dr. Bailey said.
 Dr. Bailey. Dr. Merritt

 Anchorage were II e three
 men who initiated this latest
 move 10 place the proposed

Bremen Selling Fire Extinguishers

The Palmer Volunteer Fire men have been named dealers of a dry chemical fire extin- guisher which they are offer ing for sale to the public as an ambulance fund benefit.
 Noel Woods, fire chief, said this week the extinguishers are especially good for use in cleo trical, gas, and other type fuel fires. They may be used with some success on wood and paper fires, he added. "They will knock the flame down inn mediately, in all type fires, ' he said. T h e extinguishers weigh two and one-half pounds and sell for $13 each. One great advantage in the use of this particular extinguisher, Woods added, is that it may be refilled in Palmer. The firemen will have facilities at the fire hall for refilling the extinguish- CTS after use. A small fee will be charged for this service.
 The extinguishers may be purchased through any of the firemen, or at city hall. They come equipped with brackets for easy attachment to walls.
 All proceeds from the sales will go into the community am- bulance fund.
