Weather Hampers
 Road Race Success

Poor weather worked against the otherwise smoothly-run sports car races on Palmer city streets last Saturday and Sum- day. The Road Runners, Pal mer car club which sponsored the races, worked with milit- ary police, local police, and volunteers from service clubs to achieve maximum crowd control. An estimated 95 per cent of those watching the rac- es were paying spectators.
 The cold, cloudy weekend, which eliminated in rain Sun day afternoon, contributed to poor crowd attendance, with the total gate amounting to only $1750. Expenses have not been completely clarified, but it appears that there may be a net profit of between $500 and $950 to be applied to the Val ley Sand and Gravel bill, a holdover from the May races.
 A local driver, Fil Everett, drove his TR-3 to a second place win in his class, and sec ond place in the small car race resulting in his award of over

all winner in his class. He was sponsored by three local busi- nesses, Keith's Body and Fen der Shop, the Four Aces bar, and Johnson's Fuel Service.
 Tom Brink of Anchorage won Saturdays Palmer Chal- lenge Cup race in the large en- zine class and Jack Johnson, driving a l,040-lb. Lotus Super ' sports car won the Jess Dan niels Memorial Cup race, an unscheduled Sunday event.
 Johnny Bostic won the Pal mer Challenge Cup in the small displacement class. Bob Don aid was second in the Daniels Memorial, and Brink was third. They were first and second in their class.
 Doug Bixby, a former Pal mer resident now living in An ehorage, tried his hand at sports car racing for the first time in the weekend race.
 Future road races are expect ed to be run on the new track being constructed by Palmer Raceways, Inc. south of Pal mer in the Springer district.

 His office will be located ad- jacent to the highway, where he will also sell Admiral nv sets and appliances, records, and golf equipment.

 All four propositions, which the voters will consider sep arately, amount to Sl 200, 900. If all four are approved, addi- tional taxes in the district would amount to between three and four and a half mills, a school board director said to- day.
 What the change in tax structure would be if either the proposed Captain Cook bor- ough or separate boroughs un- der house Bill 90 become estab- lished, thus absorbing the bonded indebtedness of the Palmer Independent School District, has not been deter mined by the school board.
 Names of voters in the Oct. l election must appear on the last tax assessment roll Of the district. They must have regis tered before the election, and must be citizens of the United States, 19 years of age or over, residents of the state for one year preceding the election, and residents of the school dis trict for 30 days preceding the election.

WILLOW CHILD
 DIES OF GUNShOT WOUND YESTERDAY

Tragedy struck a Willow family yesterday in the after nath of crisis over ehildren's pets. FoUr-year old Charles Malcolm Fowler died instantly of gun-shot wound when his 14-year old brother Robert pulled the trigger of what ap- peared to be an unloaded rifle.
 The children, whose parents are MT. and Mrs. Walton Lee Fowler, were left alone briefly when their mother gave a neighbor ride to her home In the absence of the mother, the family dog attacked calf owned by one of the children, who got the rifle to shoot the dog.
 Concern for the dog by oth- CT children kept the boy from firing at the pet, but he con- tinued to examine the gun, which he said seemed to be empty. He pulled the trigger once in fun, and heard only the click of the unloaded rifle, then pulled the trigger again with the gun pointed at h s little brother. This time the gun fired.
 The tragedy occurred about f pm. yesterday afternoon.
 Besides his parents, Charles is survived by three brothers, Dwayne, 18, Robert, IA, a n d Alan, 3; and three sisters, Su- san, l2, Betsy, g, and Cherry 8. Funeral arrangements are pending at Angelus Mortuary in Anchorage. Services will be held in the Saturday Adventist Church in Palmer, with Rev. Gary Strunk officiating.
