Hangar Party Is
Financial Success
With fly-in guests from
neighboring areas swelling the
crowd, the Buddy Woods han
gar party Nov. 2 drew an ex
cellent turnout and financially
assured the Matanuska Valley
airmen’s goal of enough funds
to purchase 12 runway lights
for the Palmer airport.
Airmen expressed their ap
preciation to Clyde King and
his crew of helpers who readied
the hangar for the party, Tom
Moffitt’s Moose orchestra
which supplied music for danc
ing, and chef Paul James who
prepared the lavish smorgas
bord, as well as the many oth
ers who volunteered their ser
vices to make the fund-raising
party a success.
U. S. ARMY OLYMPIC BIATHLON TEAM
TRAINS AT INDEPENDENCE MINE AREA
Now in residence at the In
dependence Mine ski area is the
U. S. Army Olympic Biathlon
team, Julius Moore, proprietor
of the Independence Ski Re
sort, said recently.
Team members have been
increased to 13 this winter, an
increase of five over last year's
team.
Biathlon is a relatively new
sport, according to the Fort
Richardson information center,
and is compounded of two very
old sports, skiing and shooting.
The first modern winter biath
lon was run in the United Sta
tes in 1956 at Camp Hale, Colo
rado.
Biathlon became an Olym
pic sport during the Winter
Olympics of 1960, held at
Squaw Valley, California. The

contest is standardized and
consists of racing cross-country
on skis over a 12.5 mile course.
At four intervals, the skier
shoots with a rifle at targets
stuck in the snow. He is pen
alized two minutes for each
target missed.
Importance of coordinating
both skills is illustrated by the
1960 Olympic contest. Victor
Arbez of France finished the
course in the least time but
missed 18 targets. When the
36-minute penalty was added to
his score, he placed only 25th.
The team is now undergoing
intensive training in anticipa
tion of the 1964 Olympics bia
thlon competition. The team
will leave for European com
petition around the first of
January.
Habits Gan Kill
Jumping traffic lights and
easing by stop signs are both
bad driving habits — habits
that can kill.
Defeats Official
Visits Sittsn
A recent visitor to the Ma
tanuska Valley coal mines at
Sutton was Thomas Casberg,
from the department of instal
lation and logistics in the office
of Assistant Secretary of De
fense Morris.
The man who did the leg
work on the projected coal-to
gas changeover at area military
installations, Casberg said he
had gotten so many virulent
letters from Matanuska Valley
residents that he wanted to see
for himself if their bite was as
bad as their bark.
Casberg, described by Hugh
Matheson of the Evan Jones
Coal Company as a five foot, 19
inch Texan, came to Alaska to
attend the state chamber of
commerce annual meeting held
recently in Anchorage.
The defense department offi
cial was taken on a tour of the
coal mines, was fed moose
steak by the Sutton residents,
and may have been convinced
that Alaskans are friendlier
than their letters sound, Math
eson said.
