PAlMER.WASILLA DEGRADING GETS
 SUPPORT OF ARG

Support of a road committee proposal to upgrade the exist ing highway between Palmer and Wasilla was pledged at the June II meeting of the Area Redevelopment Commit tee, held in Palmer at the Ex- tension Service office.
 The proposal came as re- suit of June 3 meeting of the road committee with two rep resentatives of the Wasilla Disbursements Association, Ro- bert Vroman and Harold New comb.
 The two presented a six-point proposal for secondary roads in the valley as follows:
 l. Cutoff road Matanuska to Wasilla.
 2. Road from Knik to Big Lake.
 3. Continuation of the above road to Houston.
 4. Big Lake via Burma Road to Mckenzie Point.
 5. As soon as the crossing is complete there, continue road to Wasilla.
 6. Connection from the Glenn highway to Wasilla, leaving the highway at about Moose Creek.
 After discussion of the pro- posals, the Wasilla representa- tives agreed to place upgrad- ing of the existing highway be- tween Palmer and Wasilla first; to put their first proposal last on the list; and to eliminate the No. 6 proposal entirely.
 Vroman described his pro. posal as a loop which tourists can travel, rather than to fine themselves blocked by deadeno roads.

Council Approves Springer Road Design Within City

would be taken to eliminate the chance of another accident such as that of the collision with the overpass. He said present plans are to use the section of the race track which was surfaced in May as part of the track in the August races, thus keeping the track off the Glenn high way.
 Asked about the financial outcome of the Colony Days races, Woodward said that all expenses of advertising, tro- phies, etc, had been paid from the receipts of $3345, leaving about $200. The Chamber of Commerce share of the profits (75 per cent, was supposed to have been used to pay the costs of paving (S2325, but there had been no profits. He said 1t was hoped that the city council would consider should ering the cost of the surfacing. He was told that he would be given an answer, both on the proposed August races and on the surfacing cost, at the next council meeting on June 25.
 Police chief Louis Bencar- dino reported that the military police would be willing to as-

him, when improvements in adjacent areas warrant the change on the state section of road.
 Dissenting councilmen argu- ed that it would be better to change the design of the road within the city limits now than to have to make the changes at a later time. They agreed that the present design will al- low better drainage than now exists on adjacent lots, but that this will change when the above-m e n t on e d improve mentS are put in.
 Jenkins said that the policy of the state has been changed, and that matching funds from the city are no longer neces- sary to construct the section within the city-that the state can build the road with or without city approval, but would prefer to have the back ing of the city.
 Councilman Johnson stated that under the conditions out lined by Jenkins, he felt the best policy was for the city to take no action-that appro- val could involve legal action with property owners at a fu- ture date.

A Lake George breakup this year does not appear likely, Marvin Slaughter, head of the Geological Survey office in Palmer, said yesterday.
 Observers at the glacier early this week reported that as yet no water has backed up to form lake. Instead, the water has tunnelled under the glacier and is flowing through the gorge. Usually at this date, the lake behind the glacier has risen to a depth of 75 to 90 feet, Slau. ghter said.
 However, the possibility o1 breakup this year cannot be ruled out, the geoglogist stated The gorge can yet be closed by the glacier moving forward to close the tunnels, with a late breakup occurring in August,
 Geological Survey employees have been observing the lake and the glacier since 1859, and have been measuring the depth of the river at the Knik bridge during breakup time since 1948. The earliest breakup recorded since 1948 was on July l, 1859, and the latest was Aug. 2, 1949. Slaughter said that the late breakups of earlier years may have been caused by the type of situation which exists this year.

Agricultural Conservation Program
 Closed for 1863; 10 Reopen in Fall

John Nash, Palmer County ASCS office manager, stated this week that the Palmer County agricultural conserva- ton program is closed.
 One hundred and eleven farmers have requested cost sharing for conservation prac- tices which include grass seed ing. livestock wells, land smoothing, land clearing, open drainage systems, diversion ditches, streambank control,

dikes and controlling competi- tive shrubs and moses.
 Unfortunately requests for assistance far exceed the amount of program funds we have available, which makes it necessary to close our pro- gram at this time," Nash said. We hope to open the 1864 Agricultural Conservation Pro- gram in September. Farmers are advised to sign up for con- servation practices again at that time"

LAKE GEORGE MAY NOT PERFORM THIS YEAR BREAKUP UNLIKELY

The annual phenomenon Q. self-dumping Lake George. is caused by a seven-mile-wide expanse of glacial ice which forms against the Chugach cliffs. plugging up the outlet of the 16-mile-long lake. Thus damned, the lake backs up until the pressures of the water begin to melt an escape chan nel through the ice and to un- dermine the dam. The result is the spectacular destruction. ,9f the 300-fo -foot-high glacier. 's ~

1PATIENCE, patience and more patience is the
quality department store bridal consultant
most needs.
'Its an only day in the brides life-and
her mothers too" says Mrs. Suzanne COllican,
buyer and head of the bridal department at
Julius Garfinckel & Co. "You have to give them
lot of time"
A lot oftime means an average oftwo hours
looking over perhaps so styles of dresses, and
one or two subsequent visits before the bride
to-be buys dress. Then there are fittings and
accessories to buy-lingerie, shoes and the
rest of the trOusseau. SaleswOmen from other
departments bring their wares to the bridal
department for display.
Delivery of the dress takes four to six
weeks, and Mrs. C0llican says, I'VE practically
live with the brideto-be until she's married"
All this time, the bride is apt to be nervous,
her mother anxious and her father skeptical
about the whole show. Girls don't stay around
home the way they used to, Mrs. Collican says,
and they must find time to rush to the store
during lunch hours at work, school vacations
or weekends.
Mrs. Collicans job is relatively new one.
Before World War ii, saleswomen in bridal de-
partments could do little else but parade
ready-made dresses from the stockroom be-
fore their customers. Now, bridal consultants
in Washingtons big department stores and
few small stores have latitude to help create
wedding dress.
when you deal with special orders such as
we do, it's much more exciting" Mrs Collican
explains. There are so many things you can do
with wedding dress"
