FHA Loans Available
For Area Farmers
A line of credit is now avail
able from Farmers Home Admin
istration in this area to improve
or build new farm buildings, such
as milk houses, loafing sheds,
storage facilities, etc., including
houses. It may also be used to
provide water for household or
farmstead use, for borrowers or
their tenants.
It is the belief of members of
•the FHA committees in Alaska
that many farm owners could im
prove their farm buildings and
increase the potential earnings of
their farms. The importance of
getting maximum production to
meet operating costs cannot be
over emphasized. Nationally, 1700
loans have been made during the
past seven months for building
purposes.
In addition to being a farm
owner the applicant must receive
substantial gross income from
the farm and other sources to
meet family living and farm oper
ating expenses in order to repay

FWS OFFICIAL
SPORTSMEN GUEST
Holgar Larson, Fish and Wild-,
life Service enforcement officer,
was guest of the Matanuska Val
ley Sportsmen at their March
meeting. Larson attended the
meeting to answer questions
nembers might have regarding
hunting and fishing.
Of primary interest was the
question of guides for non-resi
dents and aliens Sportsmen re
ported. Larson stated he felt
guides would not be required if
current recommendations of the
Game Commission accepted by
the Department of the Interior.
He explained that it would then
be too late to formulate new reg
ulations for this year. However,
he pointed out that neither he
nor other territorial officials have
control over these regulations. As
matters stand, it was brought out
at the meeting, non-residents will
merely have to pay the $50 non
resident fee and aliens the $100
fee—no guide being necessary.
In answer to another question
Larson outlined the procedure for
disposal of a moose hit by a car.
An injured moose may not be
shot until permission to do so is
given by a Fish and Wildlife offi
cial or the Territorial Police
when the accident is reported.
Larson pointed out that coopera
tion in cleaning out a dead moose
is appreciated “ . . . but in any
event, report the kill as soon as
possible”. Meat cleaned soon and
taken care of is put to good use.
Some 400 tons have been distri
buted this year to needy people
and institutions, and the moose
kill, at least on the railroad, is
much lighter than usual this year.
Following a suggestion by Lar
son, members voted to have the
Hoard of Directors name a three
man commitee to meet monthly
with representatives of the FWS
to exchange information and
ideas pertinent to hunting and
fishing. Larson stressed the im
portance of sportsmen working
with FWS because their direc

Only Dining Room
Closed at Williwaw
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shields
who last week took over owner
ship of Williwaw Lodge on Was
illa Lake, have announced that
the bar and cabins at the resort
are open. A news item in last
week’s copy of The Frontiersman
inferred that the resort would
not be open until later in the
season. Only the dining room is
now closed and that will be op
ened a bit later this year.

tives are formulated from public
demand.
As a result of the January FWS
hearing held on the organization’s,
range, reports were circulated at
tributing the recommendations
solely to the Matanuska Valley
Sportsmen organization, it was
stated at the meeting. This was
not necessarily true, members
pointed out. The hearing was an
open meeting for all sportsmen.
Consequently, a motion was ap
proved in February to hold fu
ture hearings elsewhere.
Noel Woods reported club
shooters who attended an infor
mal match with clubs from Chu
gach, Elmendorf, Fort Richard
son and the Alaska Range Asso
ciation held March 3 at Elmen
dorf, beat their opponents. As one
shooter quipped, “We did lousy,
but they did lousier.”
Seevral local shooters will be
attending the Gold Nugget match
at Fairbanks this weekend. The
N.R.A. sectional matches will be;
held in Palmer this year.
At the close of March business
meeting members saw an excel
lent color film on weather, cour
tesy of Standard Oil Company,
and finished up with homemade
pie and Matanuska Maid ice
cream.
