Tkree-Acf Comedy
A comedy in three acts, “Books
and Crooks” was well presented
Wy members of the senior class
the high school this past Fri
<fcay evening. Several hundred
persons attended the play and ex
pressed their delight with the
capable presentation.
The dual roles of Arnold Q.
Henley, principal of Alexander
Hamilton High School and Ray
mond “The Prof” Nichols, a bank
jobber, were played by Colin
Slick who turned in a fine job.
Hiss Hamilton, the principal’s
secretary, played by Betty Jo
'Wilson, kept the audience amus
•ed with her portrayal of perplex
ity, caused by the sudden “chang
aes” in Mr. Henley’s personality.
Steve Hamilton, playing the
"role of student council president,
proved to be the real detective
when he became suspicious of the
actions of Gordon Ganschow who
took the role of Francis, a not
too-brilliant bank robber. Gaus
dtow also turned in a fine per
formance. Others contributing
much to the success of the play
were Allyn Wilson as Geeaa4,
who never did seem to get on
the right side of the principal;
Cbarroaine Sawby who played
XdJidy Williams, student office
Helper; Bridgie Wright, in the
Troll of Goody, Gerard’s heart
Hhrob; John Maze as P. Oliver
Hurkholders, the banker; Gnet
dien Esslinger and Jill Cope in
roles of band mothers and Dean
Parks who played the role of Lt.
Shaw, police officer.
Helping in many ways toward
the success of the play were
•understudies; Bert Verrall and
5 Clara Ayers and Walter Phillips,
-James Fogg in charge of effects
and lights; Larry Lucas, Duane
Cooper and J. C. Harder, the
Stage crew; Mr. John Schriber
and members of the junior high
industrial arts class who work
ed on the set; and much credit to
Miss Elizabeth Gaines, high
school instructor, who directed
<he play.
Following their final bow the
Iptey cast presented Miss Gaines
'with a bouquet of roses and a
Certificate for her school sweat
er. Steve Hamilton, in making
the presentations, left the audi
ence in a jolly mood with his
qmany attempts to say “ . . . from
the Senior Play cast”, which
< came ''Out ** . . . from the Senior
play "class” three times in as
■ many-tries. Miss Gaines expres
sed her appreciation to the sen
ior?.

DR. PATTY HEADS
MARCH OF DIMES
Dr. Ernest N. Patty
Dr. Ernest N. P'atty, president
of the University of Alaska, will
direct the 1958 March of Dimes
throughout Alaska, it was an
nounced from New York by Basil
O'Connor, president of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
The March of Dimes will be
held January 2-31 inclusive
throughout Alaska and in every
community in the United States.
- Accepting the appointment for
the second consecutive year, Dr.
Patty, said: “The widespread use
of Salk vaccine during the past
months has produced a dramatic
drop in numbers of new cases of
infantile paralysis. There is hope
that when nearly everyone has
completed the series of three vac
cine shots polio may eventually
become a rare disease.
“A successful March of Dimes
also means hope for further re
covery and rehabilitation for
children and adults already
stricken with polio. Thus, the
theme for the 1958 campaign will
be ‘Survival is Not Enough’, and
the greatest share of the funds
collected will continue to assist
tens of thousands of such patients
with their hospital and medical
expenses until they reach maxi
mum recovery.”

M. D. Snodgrass, agriculture
and advertising manager .point
ed to the progress made since the
first Matanuska Valley Fair in
1936 when the fair was put on,
for a total cost of $6,000. He urg
ed the encouragement of 4-H pro
grams and individual participa
tion; he reported some conces
sions space for next year has al
ready been spoken for by satis
fied firms. He said in his opinion
the “preferred stock in this as
sociation is its members who
have donated 15 years service
to its promotion”.
Howard McCallister, promo
.seoure the services of a pro
recommended that the association
tion secure the services of a pro
fessional manager if at all pos
sible. “This is a big business and
needs the guidance of a trained
manager”, he pointed out.
H. P. Gazaway presented the
treasurer’s report and James
Frey, also a member of the board,
urged the continued use of the
fairgrounds on a year-round
basis. “We must do a number of
things to help the Fair continue
improvements.”
Appreciation was expressed to
Maud Hosier who served the As
sociation as secretary during the
past year and contributed many
hours of volunteer work, prior
to and during the 1957 Fair. Also

COUNCIL NOTES ]

as follows: Charles Logsdon and
Jan Koslosky, budget and fin
ance: Ray Lancaster and William
Zahradnicek, public safety; Zah
radnicek and Bertram Duff,
streets and water; Koslosky and
Sam Cotten, planning and zon
ing; Duff and Lancaster, health,

Members of the City Planning
Commission: Mrs. Lucy Mick,
Robert Pippel, Dr. C. C. Bailey,
Seth Cook, Jack Flint, Charles
Wilson, and Lucius Ross. The lat
ter two are new appointments.
Council members voted auth
orization for the Cotten Drilling
and Exploration Company to
continue drill operations to a
depth of 325 feet, if necessary,
and to report back to the Coun
cil on findings. The Council last
week authorized drilling an ad
ditional 50 feet in an attempt to
determine whether or not a bet
ter source of water might be
found at a deeper depth- Coun
cilman Koslosky pointed out that
the well is now at 270 feet, 20
feet of which the drilling com
pany explored at no expense to
the city, and that it is felt that
a little more exploration work
may hit a layer of water which
could supply the city for years to
come . . . “we may not hit it . . .
but if we do, it will solve water
problems for at least 15 years”,
he pointed out. If the well does
not produce a greater amount of
water than already located, the
City will have to go elsewhere fox
future water, it was pointed out.
Water has been located at two sep
arate levels. However, neither
level win produce a great volume
of water (probably about the
same rate of flow or slightly
more, than now produced in the
city’s two operating wells). “With
the equipment located at the well,
and our costs of exploration at
a minimum, it would seem we
should continue and determine
once and for all the extent of
water in the well area. If it’s
not there in great enough amount,
then we will have to begin plans
for the future when we will re
quire additional water”, Council
man Lancaster stated.
Bills approved for payment
included $1267-30 from the gen
eral fund and $2,620.95 from the
water fund. The report showed
an expenditure to date on the
well house at $1862.60. Included'
in the water bills was payment
to the Cotten Drilling Company
of $2340-00 for contract work on
the new city water well.
The next regular meeting is
slated for Tuesday, November 26J
at 8 p.m. in the City Hall base
ment.
