TENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONlCent)
the to Frank Clark and his crew of raen from
Cabinet Shop for supervising the Clean-up and construction of the plat
fere., tables, anct- booths; to Oscar Kindgren f or supervision of the
Sports and collection of money fpr the prizes; to Rev. Alfscn for his
help v/ith th? Sports, Ladies:1 Aid b"-cth and the work of the Boy Scouts;
and to the'Palmer Band and tjieir Director, Charles Schaefer, for music.
Many others helped in the work of putting the. event- over and'it is all
greatly appreciated. Best of‘all is; that-everyone had a good tiro.
Much h.:..s been said and written c.ib.ut the Matanuska Valley and the
people who curie here in 1935. Lot up nut forget th.se who blazed the
trail. S .no 400 locations wore nadd’ in 1912-16 of which 172 remained
long enough to .receive patents. In 1930-33, 55 more families cane and
40 are still hero and constitute some of the nost progressive farmers
in the Valley today. The 1935 settlement simply made it possible to
open up the Valley to more extensive and more profitable farming. By
increasing the number of farmers in1 the Valley it was possible to organ
ize ^nd put the farm products on the market as a unit rather than as
individuals. For a time it did not seen that these plans would material
ise, butfcas the Army moved in, War was declared, and the influ' of pop
ulation rbvdd into Anchorage.; the demand for our products increased.
Ho hove proven'that v/o can produce quality foodstuffs, and wo hope that
we can continue to live up to that standard.
Finally the people of the Valley3 arc merging into one people and it
is preferred by many to forget the lines that once separate! vis into
Old Settlers and Colonists. We also have another group who constitute
some zt eur best citizens—those are the replacements
in the vacancies left by those who either returned to
went into other occupations.
