Fisheries Director
Valley Visitor;
Reports Good Fishing
C. L. Anderson, director De

Juneau office. He came to the
valley from the Fairbanks area
and was accompanied on visits
to stocked and rehabilitated lak

Director AndersoYi found good
proof of the stocking program in
the lakes where he decided to
"drop a hook”. He showed a fine
mess of rainbow trout caught at
Bonnie Lake, all measuring be
tween nine and 12 inches. They
are about 13 months old, having
been planted in June of 1955 by
the Department. Anderson re
ported his good fishing was done
in the evening, using flies. A few
big ones are in those lakes, also.
McRae exhibited a 20-inch trout
he caught that weighted three
pounds, 12 ounces. “In general—
it’s good fishing”, the men said.
The men reported good fishing
at Trapper’s Den, Mile 161 where
the maximum size is 19 inches.
The lake was rehabilitated three
years ago.
From the valley area, Director
\nderson was leaving for Ko
diak and Bristol Bay sections. He

Quarter Report Shows
Local Hospital Stil
In Arrears $10,000
Business at the Valley Presby
terian Hospital dropped off this ;
past quarter after reaching an
all-time peak in the early months
of the year, according to the
Hospital Association’s second
quarter report. Cash collections
have been sufficiently high that
payrolls have been promptly
paid. Patients have been more
prompt in paying bills and as a
result the hospital has been able
to pay current bills. However, no
headway has ben made in paying
the hospital’s delinquent ac
counts. Of these, the report
shows, the Matanuska Electric
Association, (electric service),
the Matanuska Valley Farmers
Cooperating Association (sup
plies), the Matanuska Telephone
Association, and the City of Pal
mer (water), make up a total of
nearly $10,000.

CO-OP BUILDING
MORE VEGETABLE
STORAGE SPACE
Construction will be complet
ed within two weeks on two
vegetable storage buildings for
the Matanuska Valley Farmers
Cooperating Association. The
buildings, which measure 10 by
32 feet each, will be capable of
holding about 40 tons of vege
tables under controlled refriger
ation. Vegetables to be stored
will be primarily green vege
tables including carrots, celery,
and cabbage, for the military
and Anchorage markets, accord
ing to Stewart Durrant, Co-Op
general manager. The buildings
are located at the rear of the
creamery department.
A second Pure-Pak milk bot
tling machine has been installed
in the Co-Op creamery depart
ment and is in full use. A re
cent remodeling project in the
creamery has provided for more
space and considerably more ef
ficiency in the department. The
new sharp room has been com
pleted and is in use. At the pres
ent time the creamery is making
the famous Matanuska Maid cot
tage cheese in 1800 pound batch
es five times a week.
The continued increase in the
popularity of the Matanuska
Maid products is evidenced by
the continuous expansion pro
grams that have been necessary
the past few years. >
