New Area Church To Hold First Services Sunday

A new church group as yet un- named. is being formed and Will begin services at the Soldotna Community Hall this Sunday at 10 am. for Sunday School and II am. for morning worship.
 The group will make definite plans to organize if enough inter- est is shown in the next few weeks. The main purpose of the group is to fill the need for church home for many who do not have one at present and to instl- gate a program for the youth of the area in recreation and spiri- tual development.
 It is planned that this work will be self-supporting, with paid pastor and self-governing body. There will be guest speak CTS each Sunday until the group organizes and elects a pastor.
 A complete staff of teachers for all age groups and nursery for the little folks has been an- nouneed. All families in the area are invited to attend the services which will feature special sing ing and gospel message.
 There is to be youth meeting at the Community Hall each Sun day at 5 pm. for both Junior and Senior age groups. A Junior Choir is to be organized and prac- tice begun on Easter music. Plans are being made for special pro- gram on Easter Sunday with all children participating. Also plan ned are recreation days to be set up for the young people and will include organization of a soft ball team and many other projects.
 Any person or families needing transportation to any of the ser vices may contact R. L. Bob" Schmidt or any member of his family and arrangements will be made. A bus will be provided in the near future and is expected to solve the transportation need for those in outlying area.

Other Events to Substitute For Dog Races March 2-3

between kenai and Soldotna," the Chamber president continued.
 The trail was checked Monday and disclosed very little snow, much water, some bare ground and plenty of ice. Officials saw no alternative except to cancel the race as they felt mushers should not be asked to jeopardize their teams by racing under such conditions.
 The race was cancelled so dog race fans will know the Commit tee places primary emphasis on the we'll being of the dog mush- CTS and their teams. To attempt to race dogs under existing con- ditions, which could more aptly be described as "dog swims" in- stead of races, would be punishing the faithful teams owned by the mushers. It is the hope of the Dog Race Committee that need for consideration of the physical condition of the dog teams will be understood and appreciated by both potential race observers and mushers, Fisher explained.
 "We on the Kenai Peninsula are fortunate that events such as the seventh annual Homer Winter Carnival, as we'll as the Kenai Pe- ninsula Arts and Crafts Show tat Kenai) will be staged even though the dog races cannot be held,' the Chamber head said. Ut is the hope of the kenai Chamber of Commerce that our friends and neighbors in the entire southcen- tral district of Alaska will enjoy these other events which were scheduled for simultaneous pre- sentation with the Alaska State Championship Sled Dog Races"
 Everyone who contributed SUD- port and effort deserves thanks and people who pledged and con- tributed money deserve addition al thanks, Fisher added. Persons who have already deposited their contributions with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce will have them refunded as soon as it is possible to get the remittances out with the volunteer forces, he added. sd

Area Republicans To Sponsor Dance

Dancing, open to the public and under sponsorship of the Greater Soldotna Area Republican Club, will still be an entertainment feature offered this weekend in spite of the cancellation of the dog races.
 According to prior plans, pre- sentation of a trophy to the win- ming musher of the first days race was to have been a special feature of the evening.
 A change in the location for the dance has been announced. however. Previously scheduled for the Soldotna Elks Club. the dance will now be held at the Vil- lage Inn Lounge. Dancing begins at 9 pm. and there will be live music.

The Kenai Peninsula Arts and Crafts Show scheduled for March ? and will receive the undivided attention of it's many supporters due to the fact that the Alaska State Championship Sled Dog Races had to be called off, James E. Fisher, president of the Cham Der of Commerce, said Thursday. The Homer Winter Carnival for the same weekend is also expect ed to draw big crowd.
 T know members of the Dog Race Committee, including Monty Coleman, Jack Johnson, Jess Nicholas, Juanita Coleman, Sgt. Vince DeRose, Chester Cone, Tom Hurd, Ray Hartlieb, John Hulien and Helen Stetzer, and many others were sorely disappointed by the need to cancel the dog races. In view of the extremely mild weather conditions, it would not have been humane to permit the dogs to run over the course

public hearing last week.
Out in force were the peren-

Disputed
Tests Will
Be Burned

The controversial college
student questionnaires given
to Montgomery Junior Col
lege freshmen last month,
and subsequently "impound-
ed" by the Board of Edu-
cation on Sept. % will be
burned rather than given
back to County school heads.
The board learned from Edu-
cational Testing Service, Prince
ton, N. j., that the "six-package
shipment cannot be returned,
but will be destroyed by
burning"
The testing service claimed
that the individual identities of
the students taking the test
would not be divulged. The
board majority expressed con-
Germ last month when members
learned that some questions on
the test asked personal ques-
tons about religion and politics.
The student QUESTIONABLE
was routinely administered to
MIC incoming freshmen as part
of a nationwide research project
carried on in 20 colleges
throughout the United States on
a voluntary basis. The local col
lege was one of only two junior
colleges included in the survey.
A scientific profile was to be
determined of the freshmen
in the college classroom in
1868. According to John Ora
ham, assistant treasurer and
counsel for ETS, mo identities
were to be exploited and names
were included in testing sheets
for the purpose of administer
ing a similar test in the future
to determine changes in the pro-
file"
ETS gave as grounds for the
burning their own commitment
to the students surveyed, that
individual identities would not
be disclosed nor attributed to
specific responses"
Earlier, ETS had indicated it
would return the questionnaires
with the students names re-
moved. Decision not to return
the forms, even with the stu.
dents names deleted, repre-
sented a reversal by ETS.

Loose Ends
Disturbing
To Floyd

The County Councils for

Gil activities since he took office
last Dec. 4.
Asked by reporters II he had

failure to fill five positions in
a newly-created budget office in
the department of finance, "des.
pite great number of applica-

He also said county officials
have not followed through on
recommendations for revising
budget forms.

recommended by Briggs dur.
ing his tenure as the Councils
top-salaried advisor.
Noting that the Council had
set up mo formal procedure" to
insure that its directives and
instructions over the past year
were carried out, Floyd sug-
gested the Council ask its clerk
and County Attorney to review
and prepare list of all orders
the Council had issued on ad.
ministrative matters since it
took office.
This is not being done in
any sense Of criticizing anyone"
said Floyd. IT'S merely sug.

also for the benefit Of members
of the County Council.
Some things slip my mind,
and I'm sure they slip everyone
else's," he added.
Although no formal vote was
taken on Floyd's suggestion,
council members concurred a
review of their directives would
be helpful to everybody"

Crops Here
Hit Hard
By Drought

With no rain since Sept.
20, and a summer that was
the dryest in recorded
Weather Bureau history,
farmers throughout Mont
gomery County aren't con-
cerned with the brilliant col
ors of autumn.
They are worried about a light
hay crop, a so per cent corn and
IS per cent barley crop, and,
unless there's some rain soon,
severe damage to next years
barley and wheat that have al.
ready been planted and must
reach certain growth before
winter arrives.
And not only the farmers, but
all agencies of the Maryland
Department of Forest and
Parks and all rural property
owners in the county, are con-
cerned with mans greatest
enemy-fire.
Already many New England
States, New York, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia
have closed their state parks
and forests, and West Virginia
has suspended its hunting
season.
Earnest A. Vaughn, director
of the Maryland Game and Fish
Commission, has reported that
Maryland has no plans to sus-
pend its season unless the situa.
ton becomes more crucial than
it is.
Assistant State Forester VIII
liam H. Johnson, who is also
head of the Division of Fire
Control, told the Sentinel that
the only thing that has kept the
situation from becoming critical
is that the state has experienced
extremely light winds.
Because winds were light, the

council action is expected next
week.
Annexation by the city of the
tract where Polinger proposes
to construct a complex of single
family homes, apartments, shop
ping center and light industrial
park, when completed, would
bring $191,00 of additional tax
revenues into city Golfers.
Controversy over coming for
the tract, however, caused Pol
niger to pull out Of earlier an
nexation proceedings last year
and turn to the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly for inclusion in
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary District. At that time, he
indicated the tract could be de-
veloped more advantageously
under county coming. This sum-
mer, however, Polinger relied
for annexation by Rockville and
public hearing on the request
was held in September.
At Monday nights meeting, IL
was revealed POIinger's new
annexation request included 28.9
acres Of commercial coming

apartments; 81 acres OF I.3 zon-

balance of the tract going to

pared down to 10 acres. Appro-
