COUPLE DRIVE
 MODEL I OVER ALASKA HIGHWAY

Waves of nostalgia swept over Palmer residents Who happened to be on downtown Palmer streets today, when a touring couple from Portland Oregon, stopped at the Fron- tier Cafe for lunch. They were driving an approximate ly 1923" Model T Ford touring car, which had brought them all the way up the Alaska highway with only minor mis- haps!
 The couple, MT. and Mrs. Warren LaBarre, left Portland last July 7 and have visited Fairbanks, Circle City, and Me Kinley Park. They were en- route today to Anchorage, and will return in a few days on their way back down the high way, with a side trip to Val dez planned.
 When LaBarre was asked what he does in Portland, he laughed. T own machine shop" he said, Packed in a cab built on the back of the Ford is every conceivable spare part that might be need ed. Thus far the only mishaps have been a broken axle and a broken tie rod.
 LaBarre said he has been working on the car, which he assembled himself "of parts and pieces, for two and a half years, and the idea of the AL aska trip occurred to them about a year ago.
 They make about l50 miles a day-"15 miles an hour on gravel and hills, about 35 on good highway" Mrs. LaBarre said. -
 The couple have two chil- dren, a son in the Air Force and a daughter in college. What do they think of their parents escapade?
 They think we're pretty ad- venturous. And it's all been one big adventure. When we get up in the morning, we don't know what's going to happen before the day is over
 And the little car chugged away, leaving a crowd of ad- miring-and envious-onlook- CTS.

 Secretary of State Hugh Wade said in a telephone con- versation yesterday that from a practical standpoint of tim ing, he thinks it would be al most impossible to process the Matanuska-Susitna petition be- fore the Oct. l deadline, even if the court handles the in- junction suit immediately.
 He added, however, that there is a possibility that the referendum petitioners, wh 0 are asking the repeal of the mandatory portion of the bor- ough law, may request a re- straining order to stop any ac- tion taken under the provisions of HB 90. This would lift the Oct. l deadline and leave the petitioners free to process their local option petition, if the in junction suit is successful.

Coop To Go Ahead
 With Creamery Plans

Settlement this week of a long-standing suit broug h [ against Matanuska Maid, Inc. by the U. S. Army has cleared the way for construction of the new Matanuska Maid cream cry building, Stewart A. Dur rant, manager for the To l farm cooperative, said h i S week.
 During the past week, h e legal staff and the board of directors and management of Matanuska Maid, Inc. worked out compromise settlement of $150,000, $42,0O0 of which was paid some three years ago, Durrant said. S50,000 of the Sl08,000 balance is to be paid within so days, with the re- maining $58,000 to be paid over a five-year period without in- terest The amount asked in the army suit was at one time as high as $676,333.
 On May 4. in 1859, Durrant said, the contracting officer for the Army decided that the CO., operative had received an oV- repayment of $548,148 for the first four years of a contract which commenced in February, 1854. and ran through J un e. 1859, and later in 1860 made the decision that a further ov- repayment of $128,125 h a d been made for the past l3 months. The total allegedly due by the Coop was set at the $676,333 figure.
 The cooperative appealed the decision to the U s. A r m ; Alaska Board of Contract Alp peals. where the figure was re duced to $365, ,817. The Co-of then further appealed the con tract to the Armed Service Board of Contract Appeals il San Francisco. where the de termination was that the co. operative owed the govern ment S433.697.
 l After many attempts to reach compromise figure, last week settlement W a s reached.
 Even though this may ap- pear to be an expensive set clement, we feel that it is fair and equitable" Durrant stated. The Cooperative will now feel free to go ahead with the con- struction of the creamery without the contingency of an

NO BREAKUP THIS YEAR

Lake George has definitely cancelled its performance this year according to Marvin Slau- ghter of the Geological Survey office here. There will be no breakup.
 Alaska Railroad records, which date back to 1918, have listed breakups for every year since then, Slaughter said. The Geological Survey office has kept records since 1948. There is no information available on whether or not there have been non-breakup years be- fore 1918.
 The spectacular annual phe- nomenon is caused by a seven- mile wide expanSe of glacial ice which forms against the Chugach mountain cliffs and plugs up the outlet to Lake George. The glacial dam backs up the water, forming a 16- mile lake, the pressures of which begin to tunnel escape channels through the ice, re- sulting in the destruction of the great walls of ice.
 This year the water tunnel ed under the glacier and drain ed away instead of backing up to form the lake.
