Boundary Board
Would Extend
Anchorage' Limits
JUNEAU, UP) — The Local
Boundary Commission took the
initial step Wednesday to annex
two areas to Anchorage and an
other to Kodiak.
The commission formally rec
ommended such annexations to the
Alaska Legislature. Under the
State Constitution, they will take
effect in 45 days unless the Legis
lature disapproves them.
One recommendation would
bring into Anchorage the portion
of Government Hill now outside
the city limits.
The second proposed Anchorage
annexation would be the Fair
view Public Utility District.
The third recommendation
would bring into Kodiak the lands
embraced by the Kodiak water
shed reserve, including Near, Gull,
Holiday, Crooked and Popof Is
lands.
The commission also proposed
a start on setting up Alaska’s bor
ough system of local government.
In its first report to the Legis
lature, it called for establishment
of four unorganized boroughs in
south central Alaska.
The four included districts cov
ering the Cook Inlet-Kenai area,
the Copper River area, Kodiak
Island and the Greater Anchorage
area, including the Matanuska
Valley.
The rest of the state would re
main under its present govern
mental setup, but the five-man
group proposed seven so-called
“unenclosed areas” for study.
These areas eventually would be
come boroughs.
Rep. Earl Hillstrand of Anchor
age announced that he would sub
mit shortly a resolution to reject
the Boundary Commission recom
mendation regarding the Fairview
area.

Roof Garden
Time Approaching
Only one week froii} tomor
row. What then? The ROOF
GARDEN.
The Pioneer Roof Garden; the
"Mardi Gras" of the north; the
opening of Nome's social season;
the event of the year which
everyone looks forward to. For
more than half a century this
historic event, so truly repre
sentative of frontier life in
Alaska, has been celebrated in
Nome in real community fa
shion, where the residents ga
ther together for an evening of
social enttrtainmeni and en
joyment.
Here the eary day miners met
at this celebration and ex
changed information as reports
of new discoveries fired the en
thusiasm of those who were
ever in the forefront of advanc
ing civilisation and exploration
of undeveloped frontiers. Here,
down through the years, young
and old turned out enmasse to
meet their friends; forget their
cares and worries, and enjoyed
a well-earned respite from the
cares of office, mine, business
or household duties.
Adhering to the custom of the
past. Igloo No. 1, under whose
auspices the Roof Garden is
conducted, invites you to bring
the whole family because enter
tainment of such a diverse na
ture is provided, as it was in
the early days of the camp,
when people met as one big
family and provided their own
entertainment. There will be
appropriate prizes for every
one. A program portraying ori
ginal costumes and impersona
tions in keeping with the oca
sion is now being prepared, and
promises to outclass anything of
its kind ever produced. Save the

‘Sidesteps’ Alaska’s
Road Needs-Rivers
WASHINGTON, UPl — Rep.
Ralph Rivers said yesterday fig
ures provided by Secretary of
Commerce Fdererick H. Mueller
on Alaska’s share of federal high
way funds do not tell the whole
story.
Mueller termed as “reasonably
ample” Alaska’s share of the
funds listed in a breakdown he
sent Rivers.
Rivers had asked why “the
people of Alaska pay the full tax
levied upon gas and tires to sup
port the interstate highway pro
gram, yet are not included in the
benefits thereof.”
Mueller replied that the Fed
eral-Aid Highway Act of 1956,
which set up the highway trust
fund, provides that it cover the
federal share not only for the
interstate system, but also the so
called regular or ABC (secon
dary roads) highway program.
“It is estimated that during the
fiscal year I960, Alaska will con
tribute about $2,334,000 to the
trust fund,” Mueller wrote. “The
state’s apportionment of 1961 ABC
funds to be paid from the high
way trust fund totals $36,769,000,”
he added.
In addition, he said, Alaska also
has a forest highway system of
446 miles for which an appor
tionment of $2,876,000 for fiscal
1961 has been made.
Mueller listed Alaska’s federal
aid primary highway sistem at
1,614 miles and its federal-aid
secondary system at 3,245 miles.
“Despite the fact that Alaska is
not included in the interstate sys
tem, its participation in the ap
portionment of funds for highway
construction appears reasonably
ample,” Mueller concluded.
Rivers said he appreciated
Mueller’s consideration of the
problem but felt he missed the
fact that “Alaska is so far behind
on roads that an accelerated road
program has now become neces
sary.”
Rivers said that because of the
state’s size and its road lag, Muel
ler appears to have “sidestepped
the proposition that Alaska should
be entitled either to participate in
the interstate highway program
or an adequate program in lieu
thereof.”

POPS POUNDS PEDS IN
BENEFIT B.B. BRAWL
The Fathers scored a 57 to 51
win over the Teachers in Tuesday
night’s benefit basketball game at
the School Gym. It took the
“Pops” an overtime period to
come from behind to beat the
determined “Peds.” The fracas
was marked by a great variety of
plays, “scientific,” and “unfair.”
After the game the losers pre
sented the winning team a trophy
of the enameled pob variety.
Strane led all the scoring with
29 for the Pops and Beauchamp
tallied 19 for the losers.
In the first game of the evening
the local women’s Alaskans man
aged to squeeze by a High School
Huskies team 16 to 13. The game
was marked by continual “forc
ing” of the ball by forwards of
both clubs and tough battling
under the boards.
High scorer for the High School
was Tweet Hardy with 7, and
Nancy Carter starred for the Al
askans with 6.

Double Trouble . . .
LONG BEACH, Calif., UP! — The
destroyer USS Benner was rolling
easily at sea last November and
two buddies were sitting in the
fantail, shooting the breeze.
That’s when Carlyle Stanley, 23,
and Marvin Fritchel, 30, discov
ered a coincidence. Their wives
had the same name — Peggy
Lucille.
The two sailors laughed, slapped
each other on the back and
reached for their wallets. They
stopped laughing then. The pic
tures they produced were iden
tical. i
Fritchel, husband No. 2, was the
fif-st to act. He obtained an annul
ment last December. Stanley got
a divorce yesterday after relat
ing his shipboard discovery in
Superior Court.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
One of the loveliest and most
amazing phenomena of the heav
ens is the Milky Way. In olden
days, the imagination ran riot in
explaining this luminous band of
light.
Some ancient people thought
that here was a crack or a seam
where the two halves of heaven
were imperfectly joined, thus giv
to earth a glimpse of the glory be
yond the darkness.
Others thought that the Milky
Way was not an imperfection in
the floor of heaven, but a path
way for the angels. A French leg
end has it the glimmering of lights
held by angels to guide mortals on
their way to heaven. Some of the
tribes of American Indians have
a legend somewhat like the
French legend, for they, too,
though that it was a road on which
souls journeyed to their “Happy
Hunting Ground.” The large stars
on either side of the road were
campfires which cheered and
warmed the travelers.
