Comment from the Capitol --

Mob violence, rioting in the streets and widespread defi- ance of law and order are no novelties, certainly, in today's topsy-turvy world. We almost accept them as routine in such places as the Far East, say, or Africa.
 But now, suddenly, we're con- fronted with an ugly new rash of civil disorder that's disturb ingly different. This time, it's not happening 10000 miles away. It's happening right here. In our countrywide good old LISA.
 What we're talking about is the way things are going in the civil-rights crisis. The Negro, in his struggle for equality, has lost patience with the courts. Now he's taking his problems out into the streets and mob &C., tion is a dangerous substitute for peaceful appeal.
 We're very much in sym- pathy with the Negro's cause. And so are most thoughtful people. But, we're terribly afraid that these new tactics might change much of this friendly support into reseLt- ment. And friendly support from the whites is something the Negro needs to achieve his goals.
 It seems pretty obvious that the Negro has good reason to be dissatisfied. Simply because his skin happens to be black, he comes out a poor second in , housing, jobs, and schools. And , not just in the South, but all , over the country.
 Imagine for a few seconds that you are a Negro. If you're hungry, you'd better think twice about where you go for a sandwich. A lot of lunch coun- ters won't serve you - no mat ter how many medals you won , during the war.
 Need a haircut? You can run into trouble there, too.
 And you can be sure that you'll get the same treatment from hotel desk clerks, employ ment agencies and transporta- tlon ticket salesmen. The phrase "second-class cit lzen' isn't empty rhetoric. It's an accurate statement of what its like to be a Negro.
 Unquestionably, the Negro mas a right to demand that these injustices be corrected.

""N" NsI "VOLD WlN fuVk SUFTUNi Colored People, had this to say to a southern Negro audiences: "We are not fighting white peo- pie. We are fighting for an idea ...t the idea of freedom. You don't have to be discourteous, or rude, or militant, or even stubborn. When We have won the fight for freedom, we must be prepared to live with white people,"
 Other leaders, however, are less wise and more impatient. They want results - and right now. How? By "direct action" That includes mass sit-down demonstrations, a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience, and even threats of violence.
 One direct action advocate put 1t this way: Until now the Negro has been discriminated against. The time has come for discrlmination in favor of the Negro"

The Easter ham has been
whitfield down to a hambone
ready for the baked-bean
pot, and the guests have left
the scraps to the housewife
who just collapsed In an easy
chair.
Now maybe this isn't the
right time to tell her about
the dining strategy Of Eng

but who knows, it m light

It was Henry who got the
bright idea Of serving up the
head Of o wild boar at
Christmas feast. And when
ever Is came to heads-a
favorite subject with the king
people were won't to go
along with his little whims.
After all, they laughed ner-
vously, he was the king.
A week before the great
feast, Henry would chase a
hundred men and several
hundred dogs out Of the cas-
tie to come up with q wild
boar. Meanwhile. in another
part Of the castle, his 9-foot
square pile that weighed 1855
pounds was being stuffed
with 8 kinds of meat.
Bears Head
Some 400 servants pre-
pared for the Royal Glutton
and dinner was announced by
q line Of trumpeters. The
Lord High Steward rode
noisily into the hall on horse
back as the guests cheered
on the chief cook who
skipped in with the boar'S
head. Behind him came the
Earl Of Essex bearing the
bloodstained sword used to
sever the head.

swans and turkeys.
In Betty Wason's Cooks,
Gluttons and Gourmets-A
History Of Cookery" she
quotes an immortal ringside
description Of Henry at the
dining table.
THE King ate enormously,
stuffing the meat into his
lite mouth with his knife.
As he munched, the meat
and vegetables popping from
cheek to cheek, his eyes
shone with happiness. He
jabbed his knife blew

FIREMEN make ARRANGEMENTS TO
TRANSFER AMBULANCE TO WASlLLA

Transfer of the ambulance
now in use by the Palmer Vol
unteer Fire Association to Wa
silla is now being considered,
according to Noel Woods, fire
chief. The new ambulance has
been ordered and will be de
livered here soon
Gordon Green, manager of
the Anchorage Funeral Chapel,
has approved the transfer of
the vehicle, originally owned
and operated by the funeral
chapel. The ambulance was
made available to the Valley
on a cooperative non-profit ba-
sis.
Final approval of the trans
fer of the ambulance will de-
pend on several conditions and
requirements, Woods said.
A responsible organization,
dedicated to providing efficient
and reliable ambulance service
to all, must be formed; the or
ganization must provide proper
care, maintenance and housing;
and the group must be nom
profit organization.
The Palmer group will trans
fer the vehicle in good operat-
ing condition and completely
equipped, the fire chief stated

The Palmer organization also
proposes to pay the insurance
premium for the Wasilla am
bulance for the first year, and
give the Wasilla group a cash
donation of $500 to start an OPP
Grating fund Woods said.
The Palmer Fire Association
can think of no better way to
thank the many persons who
assisted in the ambulance drive
and who have cooperated with
the fire department in the past
than to pass on to our Wasilla
neighbors some of the same
cooperation and assistance"
the fire chief stated.
The local fire association also
expressed appreciation to the

their generosity and help.

and the Swanson school prin-
cipal to determine the amount
of work that would be involved
in eXcavating the rink.

Palmer.
The morning session outlined
the threat of nuclear war and
the countermeasures available.
Afternoon workshops consisted
of three separate groups, which
discussed warning and support
ing services, Pathological de-
tense and emergency opera
tons center, and fallout shell
tiers.
DR.. Mick, lecturing on prob
lens of nuclear radiation in
the Matanuska Valley, stated
that the latest studies show less
radiation in the MatanuSka
Valley than in most other
areas of the United States.
The frontiersman., 1963-10-24

It was brought out at the
conference that state surveys
show that the only city with
more fallout shelter space than
people is Ketchikan. Kodiak
and Anchorage need about 25
per cent more space, Fairbanks
80 per cent more. Palmer does
not at present have any shell
tiers that meet the required
standards, which include mini
mum space for SO persons.
There are number of loca-
tons that would be suitable for
less than so people, however.
The closest shelter is the
Eklutna power plant, which
has been stocked with supplies
for 466 persons.

Stunning that Anchorage would

would be likely to bring fallout

about an hour and a half.
In the event of an emergency
Palmer would receive the in

RACEWAY PLANS
DISCUSSED AT
OCT. 10 Meeting

AT an open meeting held at
the Moose hall on Oct. Is, the
executive committee of Palmer
RaeeWays, Inc. reported on the
organization and planning for
construction of the new motor
racing circuit to be established
one mile south of Palmer.
A detailed breakdown was
given on the estimated cost of
construction of the various por-
tions of the new racing facili-
ties, and a projection was made
of the returns to be expected
from the operation of the
tracks as each portion reaches
completion.
1t was announced that the
corporation is now accepting

are to be payable on or before
March 20, 1864.
A member of the Palmer
RaceWays, Inc, executive COM
mittee reported that response
to this announcement, to date,
has been highly gratifying, and
suggested that others in the
community who wish to take
advantage of this opportunity
may do SO by contracting Lloyd

Voters of the Big Lake area
will decide whether or not tC
incorporate as second-clasS
city on Tuesday, Nov 5. The
election will be held at h e
Big Lake Y Grocery.
The election was scheduled
by superior court action on
Oct Z, following the presenta-
ton of a petition signed by the
necessary number of petition
ers as eligible voters of t h e
area to be Incorporated. The
area encompassing the pro-
posed city must also contain a
minimum of so eligible voters.
No one appeared at the Oct. Z
hearing to protest incorpora
ton.
The proposed city covers 10
square miles, including Big
Lake, Mud Lake, and Rocky
Lake, also part of Flat Lake
and Lake Stephan.
Only permanent residents
may vote in the election.
Property owners in the area
are estimated between 1000
and 1000, but most are sum
mer home owners.
Proponents of incorporation
cite the need for police a n d
fire protection. roads. sewage
and garbage disposal. They
point out the losses suffered
by part-time owners through
vandalism, and the increasing
problems of lake sanitation.
Those opposed to incorpora-
ton argue that these services
are not yet needed and that the
extra burden of taxation will
drive summer residents away,
thus destroying the recreation
al potential of the area.
Proponents counter by say
ing that summer residents
themselves have asked for in
corporation.
At a public meeting called
Oct. Is to acquaint residents
with the issues and mechanics
of incorporation, concern was
expressed that no public hear
ing had been held prior to pre-
sentation and allowance of the
