NATIONAL WILDLIFE WEEK
TO BE OBSERVED BY LOCAL SPORTSMEN
Plans for the local observance
of National Wildlife Week have
been announced by R. B. Gra
ham, secretary of the Matanus
ka Valley Sportsmen. Sports
men’s clubs, civic organizations
and youth groups will take part
in the March 16-22 educational
campaign, which this year will
stress the need for providing
better care for public lands.
Walt Disney, maker of the
famous “True Life Adventure”
nature movies, is national honor
ary chairman for Wildlife Week.
J. Malcolm Greany of Juneau is
State chairman and Graham has
been appointed to head a com
mittee directing the local activi
ties.
Graham said that “the main
goal of the Wildlife Week cam
paign in Palmer will be to ac
quaint people with the import
ant stake they hold in lands
which are held in trust and man
aged for them by their commun
ity, country, state and federal
governments. If these vast hold
ings were divided evenly among
us we’d each have about six
acres. They play a vital role in
supplying our everyday living
needs and they also include our
finest outdoor recreation and
scenic areas which most of us
enjoy visiting every time we get
a chance.”
National Wildlife Week has
been sponsored annually since
1938 by the National Wildlife
Federation and its state affiliates,
including the Alaska Sportsmen
Council.

Your Social Security
Disabled people of all ages may
profit by conferring with a repre
sentative of the social security
administration, according to E.
C. Cummins, district manager.
“Publicity about the new cash
benefits for disabled people be
tween the ages of 50 and 65 has
obscurred the fact that younger
and older people with severe
handicaps also have a stake in
the disability provisions of the
social security law,” Cummins
said.
Those under 50 who become
disabled may be eligible to
“freeze” their social security rec
ords, to prevent their future
benefits from being reduced be
cause of the years they are un
able to work.
Those already over 65 and re
ceiving old-age insurance bene
fits may increase their benefit
amounts by applying for the
“freeze”, provided they became
disabled before they were 65.
Last year Congress extended
the deadline for filing disability
freeze applications to June 30,
1958. Cummins advised prompt
action, however, on the part of
disabled persons who may qual
ify.

Eagles Win Tourney;
To Field Two
Teams Next Year
As winners of the 1958 West
ern Alaska Basketball Tourna
ment, the Anchorage Eagles will
compete for the Alaska title. The
Anchorage team took top honors
all the way in the Class A games.
The Eielsen team are the new
Class B champions.
Palmer didn’t make a very
good showing in the tournament
but . •. . khere’s . .another year
‘a-comin’.
Following the tournament
members of the Western Alaska
High School Activities Associa
tion voted to divide the basket
ball teams of schools of over 1000
enrollment, into two teams. This
means that next year Anchorage
will have two distinct teams. The
teams will play the same as they
would were they two separate
schools. Another change which
met unanimous approval was
changing the division line be
tween Class A schools and Class
B schools from 100 students to
125 students.

meet at the Sourdough for their
first session of play. Each team
will bowl three games and prizes
