Hurley, as representative from the

Blue from the Farm Extension Ser
vice also made a brief address on

Many inquires have been made a
bout the possibility of ^ettinn
jobs in the Valley for Servicemen
from Fort Richardson and Elmendorf
Field during the harvest time. If

at the Co-op Office and mive tho
probable time and the number of
men desired, we believe that wo
can furnish all of the men neces
sary. Most of the applicants are j
former farm boys and can do all
kinds of farm work. It is possible!
for them to ret Saturday and Sundry
leave, three-day passes during the

Territorial Planning Committee .Palmer
Was ilia and Anchorage have yet to or
