EI.IoR4 THE FRONTIERSMAN

Of the tragedy of President Kennedy's assist
nation was pieced together from the early
releases from Dallas.
AS Miles Brandon. Dillingham; Eskimo
who serves on the Capitol police force IN
der an appointment from Sen. Crueninf, was
lowering flag TO half mast outside the Sen
ate office building soon after the Presidents
death, passerby, weeping openly. asked
if he could bel p. Miles accepted his assist
ance, the letter related.
Republican state chairman Frank Harris
made the following statements
To-day friday. Nov. 22) will go down
as a day Of infamy in the history of the
United States. All peoples. Of all creeds and
political beliefs, will feel as oil Republicans
do that we must all stand up for our faith
in democracy and endeavor TO express it
throUg our constitutional means.
While Republicans did not always follow
President Kennedy in achieving his goals.
we. together with all peoples. are appalled,
by this tragedy and feel deep sorrow for
the loss of our President.
We express our deepest sympathy to
Mrs. Kennedy and the Kennedy family in
their time Of sorrow"
In the history Of our nation. we have new
er before entered the Thanksgiving season
with such burden of sorrow. Yet. there is
much for which the nation can yet give
thanks: the continuing plan Of our govern
noent, which enables US TO carry on; the
strength of our new President, Lyndon B.
Johnson. in taking the reins Of the govern
nent in capable hands; the tremendous
courage Of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy during
her dreadful ordeal; and the forttude of the
Kennedy family in facing the greatest of
the personal tragedies which have befallen
them.

as a standby unit while Palmer
firemen, with assistance fr m
Butte volunteers, batt1ed t h e
gas station fire.
A pile of tires and inner
tubes stacked near the S p t

tensity of the flames.
The Hardisty's black Labra-

thought to have jumped thru

believe the schools can be up

Since l do net believe that
the school board is a political
position, l did not campaign,

tension agent for the Matanus-
ka Valley. He and his w i f e
Marine live on a farm on Farm
Loop Road. They have three
grown children, o n married
and two in college.
Hanks said that under t h e
borough form of government
an orderly transfer of facili-
ties to the borough assembly
will be necessary. I'VE must
discuss overall functions d
work up a timetable for trans
fer of ownership of buildings
and of taxing functions to the
borough. The speed at which
this is done will depend on the
pressure the state puts on us
to take over state schools.
Points to be considered are the
establishment of a wage scale
and t h e signing of teachers
contracts. The problems of
budgeting and of wage scale
differentials will mean sitting
down together and working
them out

the present time. As special
needs arrive, it might be pos
sible to contract with h e
state division of police of the
city of Palmer to provide such
needed services on a minimum
basis"
Il believe personally in
balance tax program rather
than a single tax source. In adj
dition to state and federal
shared taxes, l believe that To-
cal taxation or local tax pro-
gram that does not place the
full burden on property will /
give to the borough a greater
advantage in attracting new in
dustry and residents.
Robert II. Woman
Robert Vroman, who lives in

department of highways. He
was chairman of the Matanus-
ka-Susitna borough study COM
mittee and spearheaded t h e
fight for a hearing on the Mat
anuska-Susitna petition.
He states:
The next few years, partic-
ularly, will require intelligent
investment of time and mon
les, SO as to add to the econom-
ic Well-being of the Borough.
We cannot rush forward in
great haste; yet, we cannot at
ford to retreat from the task
Of lettering our environment.
I feel we will need our tax
monies for implementing t h e
mandatory programs, there
fore. | do not envision the As
sembly establishing large sal
aries for themselves or an
elected chairman. If the man
ager form of government is Sc
lected by the people, a salary,
as stated in the borough petit
ton studies, will have to be
paid.
On Dec. 3, the voters will Sc
leet the leadership required to
administer the government. 1t
is here that public responsible
ity begins and public trust is
placed. l hope that may have
the opportunity to serve"
Eight candidates filed for
the five positions on the Dor
ough school board. 1t was not

master there since 1914. She

schools. Mrs. Carter was U. S.
commissioner from 1914 to
1860, and has served on t h e
Wasilla Advisory school board
for the last three years.
Mrs. Carter says: Il feel that
the Wasilla area should be rep
resented on the board. AS a
longtime resident, l have fac
ed the problems of rural
schools and am familiar with
them. Inequalities in the educa-
tional system need to be elimi-
mated. Some schools in TIL e
district are now substandard,
and their improvement is an
objective to work toward"

Borough Candidates Give
Background State Views

Voters of District 7 will go to
the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 3,
where, under the mandatory
borough incorporation law,
they will choose between
first and second class borough,
will designate either chair
man or manager form of gov
eminent, and will elect Dor
ough chairman who will serve
only if the borough chairman
form of government is approx
ed.
They will also elect five di-
rectors to the borough school
board, and three borough as
semblymen to represent t h
area outside the incorporated
city limits of Palmer. Residents
of the city of Palmer will not
vote for borough assemblymen.
Two members of the city coun-
Gil viii be chosen by the coun-
Gil to serve on the borough as
sembly.
Three candidates have filed
for the position of borough
chairman, Henry L. Jordan,
Jan M. Koslosky, and Robert
H. Vroman. Following are
brief descriptions of the back
grounds of the three candi-
dates, and statements of their
detectives for the new borough.
Henry L. Jordan
Jordan and his wife Frances
make their home in the Big
Lake area. They are the par
ents of four children, two OF
whom attend schools of t h e
area. Jordan has lived in Alas
ka 20 years and at Big Lake
four. He holds a master of ed
ucation degree from East Tex
as State Teachers College.
Jordan says his greatest con-
Germ is to attempt to form
borough government on a basis
other than strictly real or per
sonal property tax.
"One of our greatest prob
lens will be to finance t h e
borough, although once estab-
lished, these problems m a y
lessen. The state is Withdraw
ing oil and mineral rights from
borough lands. However, |
think we should be entitled to
a fair share of receipts from
the natural resources of ou r
area.
1--WE must establish some
base from which we can create
income. We must have jobs be-
fore we can have taxes. Per-
sons trying to improve rural
areas can't be faced with a tax
load right away.
Jordan said he would push
for a homestead exemption act
to protect the home OF every
individual in the borough and
to give each the initial boost
needed to get started.
Jan M. KosloskY
Koslosky, a resident OF t n e
state since 1915, established the
Koslosky Department Store IN
Palmer with tn e coming OF
the colony in 1885.
He says: Il favor the first
class borough because believe
it will be more efficient. l pre-
fer the borough chairman form
of executive for t h present
because it could be less cost
ly."
He states that he does not
think the borough should take
on a full health program for
the first two or three years,
and says that he does not be-
Iieve that the borough should
take any responsibility for
roads unless the state makes
available a portion of highway
tax revenues.

LUDWIG LEVIN JACOB

LUDWIG LEVIN JACOB
SON, a Jewish physician who
lived in Denmark in the early
nineteenth century, was cred
tied with a number of impor-
tant discoveries in medicine in
Guiding the discovery of the
organ in the nose responsible
for the sense of smell. Altho
widely recognized for his work
and honored by the Danish
Government, he was refused a
professorship at the University
of Copenhagen because he
would not renounce Judaism.
