Monitor Course To Begin Jan. P

One of the most important tasks in nuclear attack situa- tion is pathological monitoring, according to James Schubin, pathological defense officer for the Matanuska Valley region. To fill the need for trained monitors, he will conduct ten hour course in monitoring, starting Jan. P at 2 pm. at the Palmer high school.
 To protect the population and agricultural potential of the Matanuska Valley. m n y monitoring sets are needed, Schubin said. To obtain each set, the local civil defense or ganiZation must train h r e e monitors.
 The only requirements f 0 r monitoring training are an in terest in the subject, a willing ness to attend all six cl a S sessions. and a willingness to act as a pathological monitor in a nuclear fallout situation, the pathological defense officer said.
 All who are interested ar e asked to contact James Schu- bin or Ed Smith by Jan. IF. The most convenient evening and time for class sessions will be determined at the first meeting.

Friday night, Jan. 4, t h e Palmer Moose put up a great display of ball here against the invaders, the West Anchor age Eagles.
 Although the Moose te m lost the game, 6450, during the first three quarters the Moose stole the show by skipping down West passes, by offensive play making, and by using a tight defense. At the first quarter and at the half t h e Moose led the West side team with time clock scores of All and 23-22 respectively.
 The third quarter showed the superior depth, t h a t enabled the Eagles to use a constant fast-break offense, wearing down the Moose with a high of 38 to the Moose 34 points.
 In the fourth quarter the Eagles ran away with the of fense, and their gunners go t the range on the hoop, boosting the Eagles to their best quar- ter of the season.
 J.V. fans watched a heart breaker as the J.V. Moose came from 6 points behind at t h e first of the last quarter to run out of time, with a score of 51- 50 favoring West at the buzzer.

Matanuska Valley airmen last night agreed to present a proposal to the Palmer City Council, recommending | h a [ the city take over ownership of the Palmer airport, with air men subleasing for mainte- nance.
 The decision came as re suit of a meeting of the air men with Eugene Roguszka, state director of the division of aviation, and two members of his staff, Glenn Clark, real es- tate officer, and Paul Dixon, supervisor of operations.
 Local airmen, who h a V e been greatly concerned over the Il e W leasing arrangement for use of state-owned airports, asked for the meeting to try to find solution to the problems, which, it was pointed out by Roguszka, are unique to th e Palmer airport. At no other airport in the state is there so much privately owned proper ty adjacent to the airport which is used for airport pur- poses, he said, adding tn a t many of the owners have been in business there for years and have homes located on t h e ir property. Also, there are more users at this airport than at other state-oWned airports.
 The leasing arrangement, in effect since Nov. II, would charge airport users three cents per square foot per year fo tiedoWn space, on or adjacen to airport land, and the sam, fee for commercial installation! on or adjacent to airport land Local airport businessmen fee that the resultant yearly lease rate would be exorbitant to the extent that they would be for ced out of business here.
 The division of aviation rep resentatives presented as an alternative plan the idea of turning ownership of the air port over to the city of Palm CT, which in turn could lease the airport to the local airmen, who would act as adminiStra- tive agents.
 Roguszka stated h a since federal funds have been ex- pended to improve the Palmer airport, present legislation for bids turning the airport over to private individuals or groups that ownership can be taken over by a municipality only.
 Airmen at the meeting ex- pressed interest in the 60 per cent return to the operating agency on the three per cent per gallon airplane fuel tax. They estimate that about 40,- 900 gallons of fuel are sold at the Palmer airport in a year, which would amount to a $720 return to the city of Palmer.
