CHANGE DATES FOR
CONSTRUCTION
CONFERENCES
At the request of scores of con
tractors who had previous com
mitments but wanted to attend,
the Alaska iDistrict Corps of En
gineers has changed the dates for
two important construction con
ferences from March 27-28 to
April 10-11.
“We have had a tremendous
response,” Colonel P. V. Kieffer,
Jr., Alaska District Engineer
said. “More than double the num
ber of contractors who attended
the first pre-construction season
safety conference, have said they
expect to be present.”
Both conferences will be held
in Carpenters* hall, Anchorage.
Registration will start at 8 p.m.
and the program at 8:30. First on
the boards is the general con
struction conference April 10.
Contractors from all parts of Al
aska and the States who have
contracts or are interested in Bid
ding on military defense projects
will have a full-day session with
division chiefs of the Alaska Dis
trict. On the following day, the
second annual pre-construction
season safety conference is open
to all safety-alert organizations.

ANNUAL FOLLIES |
MAKES BIG HIT
A good attendance both nights
was noted by the Wasilla Grange
who presented their annual follies
last Friday and Saturday. Pro
ceeds from this year’s presenta
tion will go toward improve
ments in the Community Hall.
This year’s show, “Gold Rush
Days” was directed by Carl Paul- <
son. Ted Mommsen was master- j
of-ceremonies and Mrs. Laura j
Mommsen was in charge of the j
costumes. j
The variety show was well re
ceived by those attending and in
dicated many hours of donated
time in both practise and prepar
atory work.
The “Shootin’ of Dan McGrew” j
was presented by Foster Heaven, j
Ray Holtz, and Ernest Peck. Har- j
old Newcomb did a good job as
the bartender. Interesting bacf?
ground was provided by the
dance hall girls, Pat Newcomb
and Ethel Carney. Peck did a
fine job on the “Cremation of
Sam McGee”. <
The cabin skit which provided
much mirth for the audience was
done by “Shorty” Gustafson,
Paulson, Mrs. “Kit” Carson, Le
Roi Heaven and Wythle Heaven.
A new follies number this year
was square dance routines under
the direction of Wayne Hunter,
caller. Dancers, were Howard
McAllister, Mary Combs, LeRoi
Heaven, Renee Barnes, Ray Holtz,
Ethel Carney,, Harold Newcomb,
and Pat Newcomb.
Taking part in the male chorus
line were McAllister, Harold
Dinkel, Hunter, LeRoi Heaven,
Harold Harris and Bill Lambert.
Singing with the male quartette
were Ted Mommsen, Ernest Line,
Roth, and Bob Clarke. Singing in
the women’s quartette were Mrs.
Roth, Mrs Smythe, (Mrs. Peter
Nelson and Mrs. Harley Ulrich.
Specialty acts were presented
by Mary Combs and Mary Engle
man.
One of the most amusing skits
was an old-time fight scene done
by Harold Harris and Harold
Newcomb, with James Carson as
the referee.
Mrs. Rosemary DePrienst and
Mrs. Henry Jensen were in
charge of make-up.
The Wasilla Grange extends
their thanks to the many who
helped make their annual show
