COMMITTEE ASKS SERVICE GROUP ASSISTANCE

Palmer area church or ser vice groups are asked to con- sider the possibility of relocat- ing a Cuban refugee or refugee family here, Mrs. John De- Vries, chairman of the United Protestant Church committee which is working on plans to bring a Cuban or Cuban family to Palmer, said this week.
 Mrs. Margaret Gillespie of the Presbyterian Church immi- grafton department has inform ed the committee that the refu- gees from Castro's commun- ism prefer to relocate in small group, rather than as an indi- vidual family.
 Committee members expres- sed the feeling that, since job opportunities are limited in the Palmer area, 1t would not be economically feasible to bring mo re than two families, or perhaps a family and an indi- vidual, here. Persons knowing of available work, as well as service group representatives are asked to call Mrs. DeVries

Friday night the Palmer Moose pulled off the biggest upset of the basketball season by clipping the East High T. Birds with a 60-54 victory.
 A zone defense watered down the fast break tactics of coach Earl Walkers East squad and the offensive ball handling of Andy DeVries and Wayne Eek ert proved to be too much for the T-Birds to hold down. Pal mer's gunning squad just could not be kept down on the farm as they rambled to a whopping 52 per cent shooting average.
 East's Ray Barret and Floyd Ladegard with IA and l2 points respectively were top scorers for the T-Birds while Wayne Eckart's 21 points led the hot Moose gunners.
 After a five point deficit at the beginning of the game the Moose pulled ahead, never to slow down with a first quarter score of 16-12, half 29-28, and a third quarter score of A-41.

Two 0utages Occur In Power System

A two and one-half hours, power outage occurred in the Eagle River area at approxi- mately HAS am. on Tuesday. January Is, 1863, when a fault developed on the transmission line between Reed Substation and Eagle River substation, MEA personnel reported hi 5 week.
 Restoration of service was delayed by a defective reclos- ure in the Eagle River substa- tion, and further difficulty de veloped when attempts were made to close the oil circuit re- closure on the line at Fire Lake. It was found that the in- creased load due to the outage period was too large for these reclosures to pick up. Sections of line had to be isolated in or der to get service restored. MEA crews are continuing their patrol of the lines to de- termine the extent of the dam age.
 The warm weather and rain storm added to the difficulties in restoring electric service to the Big Lake area on Sunday, January l3. The outage occur red at approximately 9 am. but the report was not received by MEA personnel until l2:30 pm Service was restored at 1l:20 pm.
 The outage was caused by truck sliding off the road, hit ting guy wire, and break ing the MEA service pole. Con- siderable difficulty was exper- fenced in getting proper equipment to the location to replace the broken pole, due to severe ice conditions.

FREEDOM BRIEF
 FOR RUNAWAYS

Three boys who walked away from the Youth Conser- vation Camp near Wasilla late Saturday afternoon were pick ed up only a few hours later, one in the vicinity of Willi- way Lodge, the other two at the Alaska Hardwoods mill on the Wasilla highway, l. F. Mar tin, superintendent at the camp, said this week.
 The minimum security insti- tuition, the only one of its type in Alaska, is designed to re- habilitate juveniles in trouble with the law, who would other wise have to be housed in adult correctional institutions.
 Martin pointed out that since there are no barred windows, locked gates, or guards at the camp, it is very easy for a boy to leave. it, but that since its inception in 1860 very few have attempted to.
 The youths are now in the Anchorage city jail, awaiting disposition of their cases, which will be tried individual ly by officials of the state Youth and Adult Authority. They will decide whether or not the boys should be return ed to the camp, Martin said.
