52 Make Flight
To Cordova
Snow storms have a way *of
getting things a little fouled up.
TLast Saturday was no exception
when airplanes scheduled to
crarry Palmer passengers to Cor
idova were unable to fly in from
Anchorage due to weather condi
tions in that city. Those making
the trip did the next best thing
and went to Anchorage by pri
vate cars and from there flew to
Cordova.
Fifty-two persons made the
Hrip and one plane load was re
iikrroed to Palmer Sunday morn
ing, with the others picking up
Hheir cars in Anchorage to com
plete their trip home .Some of
? /those visiting the city of Cordova
* envoyed boat trips during which
rlfaey helped pick up crab pots
::,and several individuals brought
-*flams and crabs back as edible
souvenirs of the trip.
The women’s basketball team
tost both of their games to the
Cordova ,gals but “ ... it ’twant
easy” T6r the Cordovans. Last
xusbiute spurts took both games
away from the visiting Palmer
ites. The men easily won both of
their games.
