QUEEN DESCRIBES EXCITING TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
QUEEN MURIEL HANKS is pictured above in Pacific Ocean Park with Douglas
Romney, president of Santa Monica Junior Chamber of Commerce, Muriel won the
trip to California when chosen winner of the 1958 Matanuska Valley Queen Contest
which was sponsored by the local Junior Chamber of Commerce.
A thrilling and exciting trip
I to California was described by |
[Muriel Hanks, 195B Matanuska
i Valley Queen, and recipient of
j the prize winning trip offered
by the Matanuska Valley Junior
i Chamber of Commerce, sponsors
of the queen contest.
In a 12-page report Muriel ex
pressed, from the beginning to !
the end, her appreciation of the
most exciting vacation a girl i
; could ever want From the time
■ she (and her mother, Mrs. Lew j
; Hanks) took off from Interna
tional Airport in Anchorage la
den with two of the Matanuska i
’ Valley’s famous cabbages, until !
! they returned to Alaska, weary
but bubbling over with enthusi-!
• asm, Queen Muriel was busy,
i busy, busy.
Met. at the air terminal in Los
Angeles by Jaycees of that city,
the valley queen and her mother
, were soon comfortably settled at
a hotel-motel that was to be their
home for a week; handed a
. program planned for the week
which left them a little breath
I less.
Monday was handled by the
j Jaycees of Santa Monica. At noon
' they attended the Jaycees lunch
I eon meeting where Muriel re
ported enthusiasm and keen in
; terest in Alaska. Following the
luncheon they were taken to Pa
cific Ocean Park, a very new
amusement park. Accompanied
by Jaycees and a photographer,
they were given a tour of the
i area. That evening Queen Muriel
was honored at a celebration be
: ing held in honor of the Mexi
! can Independence, where she was
introduced to the many thousands
attending the celebration.
A tour of Hollywood, where
many famous land marks were
1 pointed out as well as the large
radio and television studios, cafes,
etc., and where they visited a
. live production of the Art Link
letter show. Miss Hanks was in
troduced on the show and was
presented with an ice cream
freezer. Following the show Mur
’d and Mrs. Hanks were taken
to luncheon meeting with the
Hollywood Jaycees who also
showed great interest in Alaska,
asking many questions about
Statehood, stores, schools, and
farming community. A visit to
Griffith Observatory was next on
the afternoon’s program and up
on returning to Los Angeles,
they were rushed to the Red
Skelton show, where the show
wars in the process of being film
ed.
The following day a trip to
Cangoa Park proved very inter
esting for the valley people, who
were first taken to the Atomics i
International main office for
clearance. Pamphlets, maps and I
other information regarding the
plant were given the guests.
On Thursday a trip to Warner :
Brothers Studio provided an op- i
portunity to see many pictures
being filmed. Lunch at the cafe- |
teria provided an opportunity to
• see many of the stars. Muriel’s *
picture was taken with James
Garner, now starring in the TV
series “Maverick.” She also met
“Miss United States”, a very
beautiful girl that expressed her
interest in the Fair’s queen con
test. Many autographs were gath
ered by the valley queen who re
ported she was greatly impressed
with the graciousness of every
star whom she met.
A trip to Disneyland, long
looked forward to by the valley
queen, was made on Friday. “It
is difficult to determine which
part of Disneyland we enjoyed
the most.” said Muriel, “we would
certainly like to recommend it
to all, and anyone planning to be
in that area certainly should not
miss it.
On Saturday they were taken
to the City of Torrance by Jay
eees of that city and their wives.
There they met the mayor of Tor
rance and a little ceremony had
been planned during which Mur
iel was presented with the “Key
to the City” by Mayor of Tor
rance who told her she was the
first woman in the United States
to whom this key had been pre
sented.
A trip into Marine Land, where
Muriel fed the porpoise, and quite
unknowingly also fed a whale.
On the return trip Muriel and
Mrs. Hanks stopped at San Fran
cisco to visit Muriel's aunts, both
of whom teach school. Showing
colored slides and presenting a
short talk on Alaska, Muriel
visited three schools, telling them
about the iMatanuska Valley. The
students were most interested in

Notes
By Frances Hulberi
Home Demonstration Agent
What kind of tin cans should
t choose for canning of meat? Is
it all right to use enameled cans
for vegetables if I cannot get the
plain tin? These and other sim
ilar questions have been coming
to the office lately.
Three types of tin cans are
used in home canning; plain
tin, C-enamel (corn enamel) and
R-enamel (sanitary or standard
enamel).
For most products, plain tin
cans are satisfactory. Enameled
cans are recommended for cer
tain fruits and vegetables to pre
vent discoloration of food, but
are not necessary for a whole
some product. With meats canned
in enameled cans, however, the
fat may cause enamel to peel off,
and, while this is not harmful,
it makes the canned meat look
unattractive.
The types of cans and the foods
for which they are recommended
are:
C-enamel: Corn, hominy, shell
fish.
R-enamel: Beets, red berries,
rhubarb, pumpkin, squash, cher
ries, plums. (Has no effeqt 'em
other fruits, vegetables.)
Plain: Other fruits, vegetables
not listed above. Other meats;
other fish than shell fish. (Use
only cans in good condition. Dis
card badly bent, dented or rusted
cans.)
