Tobacco farmers, beset by
rising production costs, are
eagerly watching Horny pion-
GERS in the field of bluk curing
barns, anticipating proven saw
ings in labor and fuel costs
and better grades of tobacco.
A survey indicates there are
presently only three bulk cur
ing barns in Horny county, one
of which is on the farm of
Grover Higgins, Ri. l, Loris.
It's a lot easier and cures a
lot better" is Higgins brief
resume of how the bulk curing
barn works for him.

State College have been work.
ing for about 10 years to per-
feet such barn and now sew

state. A farmer in the Aynor
section was the first to have Il
bulk curing barn in this coun-
ty
The barn, though a good bit
smaller, will hold as much as
20 foot barn of the normal
type used in this section. 1t

ing time is cut to four and
half to five days.
Made of galvanized metal,
the barn is expected to last a
lifetime. 1t is reputedly COM
pletely fireproof, with no fire
except at the rear OF the Struc-
ture.
And, Higgins says. there's
no waste or sweat i'll the tobac-
co.
Only two workers are re-
quired to put in a barn of to-
bacco in this type curing. To-
bacco is taken from a drag and
placed on a long metal rack,
with the butts up. When the
rack is full, a clamp is placed
over it to hold it securely in
place. Then the rack is pushed
onto rails in one of the three
rooms in the barn.
While the barn Is being fill
ed, a constant flow of air, SIM
liar to air conditioning, is be-
ing famed through the build
ing.
According to Higgins, 1T
makes the whole process OF
gathering tobacco lot simpl-
er."

Billy Wayne Harrelson, 81
year-old Whiteville man, was
electrocuted Tuesday after
noon, July 3rd while checking

instantly when an aluminium
ladder that he was handling
came in contact with a high

A co-worker, George Larri-
more, was standing on the lad

grounded itself. Then, / heard
Billy Wayne cry out as if he
were in pain"
Larrimore called to Harrel-
son and the latter attempted to
answer but apparently wasn't
able to respond.
Larrimore further stated,
"When we (he and an FOX
employee) were driving to-
ward Whiteville SO that we
could get Billy Wayne to a
doctor, could feel his pulse
and il was beating"
HARRISON was given arti-
fetal respiration at the doct-
or's office for about 30-45 min
utes. He failed to respond.
Final rites were held for Bill
ly Wayne HARRISON Thursday
at 4 p. m. from the chapel of

 Only persons whose names appear on the tax roles will be eligible to vote, and husband and wife are urged to check to make sure that both names ap- pear on the rolls. Voters must also be 19 years of age or old CT, and residents of the school district for 30 days, and one year residents in the state of Alaska.

 Registration of voters is part of the law and requirements of the school district for bond election, spokesman for the board of directors said.

contributions of all kinds of books, though the greatest need is for those suitable for child ren, Mrs. Schelin said. She pointed out that a number of Willow children live in isolated areas and the need for reading material is great.
 Persons who have books they would like to donate are asked to leave them with Dick Jones at the Matanuska Valley Bank in Palmer. Donations of money for library supplies may be left with MT. Jones or sent to Mrs. Schelin at P. O. Box Ia, Will low.
 Members of Valley organiza- tions are asked to bring up the subject of the book drive for Willow at their club meetings.
 The projected library will be located in the Willow commun- ity building, and will be man. ned by volunteer librarians.

Chamber President Urges Au-0ut Effort for Coal

We have now reached the fork in the road. One road complacently leads to the loss of our coal industry, and our Palmer and Matanuska Valley area businesses as well; tn e other leads to the mine-mouth thermal plants becoming a reality and a prosperous future for all the valley-but not without the efforts of every one of us."
 The above statement was made by Barney Fish, Matan- uska Valley Chamber of Con- merce president and member of the state Chamber of Con- merce board of directors, in re- porting to two organizations this week on the success of his campaign to bring the coal in- dustry crisis before delegates to the state Chamber of Com merce convention in Anchor age last week.
 The local president was in- strumental in bringing about the adoption of a resolution he feels may indirectly result in the salvation of the coal indus try in Alaska. It reads, Where

Unless the conditional agree ment placed by REA on loan funds to Matanuska Electric Association for distribution construction is lifted within the next two weeks, the MEA work force will have to be reduced on Nov. l, and all active line construction will cease, Mason LaZelle, manager, said this week.
 The general fund will no longer keep such construction going if loan funds cannot be secured to reimburse it, the manager stated. He added that if the loan cannot be released by Jan. 1, 1863, the organiza- tion will be reduced to a status where only operation and maintenance can be handled.
 In an effort to forestall the projected cutbacks, a meeting has been set up for Oct. 29 in Senator Gruening's office in Washington, D. C., with repre- sentatives of the Alaskan dele gation meeting with represen- tatives of MEA and with Nor. man Clapp, REA administrator LaZelle said.
 When the hold was placed ol the projected loan to MEA, tn, electric cooperative was tole that it must show REA that i has access to firm generating capacity to supply all the po- tential consumers who would receive power through use of loan funds, as well as to handle normal load growth,

pared to thermal power pro- duced by mine-mouth coal-fix- ed generators, or a gas-fired thermal power plant.
 "This lack of interest and knowledge has resulted in the possibility of a $60 million pork barrel project becoming a reality. If this happens, the coalindustry may be destroyed and the Rampant Dam project will never be-"
 The cost of Bradley, limited to supply the Anchorage area only, would exceed the cost of thermal power units that would supply power to the Valley.
 We need people to develop industries based on our great resources, but we need jobs to attract the people, he added. He pointed out that the $34 mil lion Eklutna project now em- polys about ten people. On the other hand, $34 million spent on mine-mouth plants would provide year-round employ ment for over 200 new employ ees, plus the cheapest power in the state.
 We need industries to make it economically feasible to de- velop our enormous hydroelec- tric power potential (Rampart Dam), but we need low cost in- terim power to attract the in- dustries."
 Fish urged writing members of the congressional delegation in Washington. You elected them-you have the right to ask for their support in this crisis. Let them know that this is our objective-our plan for Alaska's tomorrow. Without their help and endorsement, the job will never get done.'

until 1869, LaZelle said, add ing that there is no capacity available to any utility in the area out of present resources (p1us' plants now under con- struction) beyond 1866.
 Therefore, we cannot meet this criteria at present, and neither can any other REA CO., operative in the area" he said. We do feel that the utilities must shortly come to an agree ment among themselves on new generation, and that the re- lease of loan funds can only provide more reason to come to such an agreement"
 The manager pointed out that MEA has arranged for con- tract with the City of Anchor ge, under which the city would sell power to MEA until Octo- Der, 1864. REA has thus far re- fused to approve this contract, which has been revised to con- form to REA suggestions and has once again been sent to Washington for approval. The contract offers up to 5000 XIV of power from the City gas tur- bine, at the same price per XIV that MEA is now paying for Bureau of Reclamation power from Eklutna, approximately 10.5 mills per XVII.
 LaZelle stated that the only other source which has been offered MEA to date is through contract with Chugach Elec- tric Association, under which MEA would be required to commit its 5000 XIV allocation to a pool consisting of all gen. eration and transmission facil.
 ities owned by CEA, Homer Fl
 ectric Association, and MEA This power, and another 2000 XIV, would have then been available to MEA at an average rate which REA figured to be l4.7 mills per XVII.
 This would have amounted to a 40 per cent increase in the
