Anchorage Day for Valley Proposed

An Anchorage Day in the Matanuska Valley was propos- ed by Stewart A. Durrant, gen. eral manager of Matanuska Maid, Inc, and ARC agricul- ture committee chairman, al the Wednesday meeting of the Matanuska Valley Chamber oi Commerce.
 Durrant mentioned that a similar project has already been carried out by coal indus try people, but said he felt an Anchorage Chamber of Com merce tour of the valley could be extended to include the hardWoods plant at Wasilla and the agricultural operations of the Valley,
 Such a tour would build bet ter relations between the two communities, he stated.
 Good things happening in Anchorage help us, and our trading dollars go there,' he said, indicating that a healthy valley economy is good for An chorage as we'll as our own community.
 Jack Flint, manager of the Spenard branch of Matanuska Maid and former creamery manager here, spoke of the at titude of Anchorage business men toward the Matauska Val ley community, He said he is the only representative of agri- culture at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce meet ings, and urged local business men and farmers to come to the Anchorage chamber meet ings on Monday at the West ward Hotel.
 Anchorage businessmen feel we lack aggressiveness,' he said. We need to get acquaint- ed with our customers, and we need to keep our name before the public all the time. The day of shifting population in An chorage is not over. The aver age life of a real estate mort gage there is five years"
 This is expected to be the best construction year the area has had for some time, Flint said, and local businesses should capitalize on it.
 Asked what the big selling items are in Anchorage, Flint mentioned concentrated milk, and said the field of frozen vegetables and processed pota- toes of all kinds is wide open.

Approval for sports car rac- ing on designated downtown streets of Palmer was granted by the Palmer city council at special meting held Tuesday, April 16.
 A request to hold the races in Palmer on Colony Days, May 25 and 26, was made by a dele gation from the Anchorage Sports Car Association at the April 9 meeting of the council, at which tentative approval was given pending approval of local merchants who would be affected by street closures for several hours on each day.
 Approval for the races was given after Virgil Gillespie, a member of the Anchorage club, presented petitions signed by local merchants endorsing the race proposal.
 Also appearing before the council was Bill Carpenter of the Arctic Sports Car Club in Anchorage, who asked recon sideration of the May 25 and 26 dates, saying that the Tana- -cross races are scheduled for

Most Anchorage women work, and are interested in labor-sav- foods, he said.
 Durrant stated that a study IS being made of the feasibility of a frozen foods processing plant here, and that it appears that it would be difficult to oomnete with the outside mar ket. However, he suggested that the area capitalize on the spec lal features of its vegetables for an Outside market = the extra high quality and the size, also the fact that the Matanus- ka Valley is almost insect-free and that very few chemical sprays are needed.
 Food faddists are conscious of sprays, he said, and added that the novelty of vegetables from Alaska would be a selling point, even though prices would have to be somewhat higher.
 A suggestion made at the ARA conference in Anchorage was brought up from the floor that of a combination pro- cessing plant that would handle meats, fish and vegetables. M. D. Snodgrass discussed the great potential to grow beef cattle on Kodiak Island, saying that there is early feed and lots of grass, and that an experi- mental herd he placed there in 1907 had developed hard tallow by early August.
 Emphasized by Durrant at the meeting was that although the ARA committees and the Chamber often have the same objectives, there is no reason why the two groups cannot work together to achieve them.

 The land grant phase of the borough bill, which gives the privilege of selecting 10 per cent of the vacant unappropri- ated land within it's boundar- ies, may create land manage ment problem. Holdsworth said, adding that II would be possible to contract with the division of lands for manage ment services, thus utilizing the experienced personnel of the department.
 He noted that the agricultur- al revolving loan fund has re- turned good rate of interest on the investment. about one percent more than other in Vestments.
 HoldsWorth said he had been a member of MEA in 1947 and was well acquainted in the Wasilla-Palmer area, fact which became obvious in the social hour following the meet ing, when the honor guest was surrounded by former acquain- tanceS.
 A concise review of MEA ac- tivities during the past year was given by manager LaZel- Ie, members following the fig ures presented with a fact sheet supplied to them at the door. He pointed out that in more thickly populated areas such as Eagle River more GUS toners are served by fewer miles of line at lower cost, and the cooperative REA principle is that urban areas support ex- mansion into more sparsely set tied communities.
 An estimated $1.343, 800 con- struction program Is plannei for 1863 and 1864, the manager said, with a total of li5.5 miles of line to be built. Approval O. the loan for the Talkeetna ac- quisition and additional line construction is expected short ly, he added.
 Board president O'Neill, re- porting on the progress of the proposed minemouth steam plant at Sutton, said that every effort is being made to push the project to successful con- clusion An application for loan funds to construct the plant will be ready to go to Wash ington, D. C. by the first week in May, he stated. He reported that MEA manager Mason La elle was called to Washington in March and was taken to REA administrator Norman Clapp's office by Sen. Ernest Gruening. The administrator said he had no preconceived opinions and would judge the steam plant on its merits, including wheeling arrangements and available market.
 Two members of the MEA staff, AlonZo Smart and Paul Springfield, were given special recognition, Springfield (who retired early this year) for l7 years of service with MEA, and Smart for outstanding work as safety director for MEA.

Also el- ected were James Ekstedt of Eagle River and Clair Jehn- son of Big Lake, who garner ed 251 and 230 votes respect ively.
 The capacity crowd which thronged into the Central school gymnasium and waited in line to be registered also list ened to an address by Phil Holdsworth, commissioner of natural resources, and heard the annual reports of board president O'Neill and aSsocia- tion manager Mason LaZelle.
 Of paramount interest to Ma tanuska Valley dairymen was the passage of a motion by the membership to underwrite a block of financing for the pro- posed Matanuska Maid cream cry if funds are not available from other sources. It was em- phasized that such loan would have to have REA ap- proval before 1t could be made.
 Commissioner HoldsWorth, honor guest of the association, expressed Gov. Egan's regrets in not being able to attend the meeting due to the press of business in the last hours of the legislative session.
 In discussing state legisla- ton of interest to the Matan- uska Valley, the commissioners also mentioned the bill now be- fore Congress which would give the coal and oil industry an equal opportunity to bid with gas on a ten-year basis.
