tween games. w'hile the particular spec
ies thut this cov/ represents, is still un
known, it must be admitted that she de
livered the milk. The manner in which the
cow maneuvered her head, shoulders and hips
around was heartily greeted by the crowd.
Besides furnishing milk to the small fry,
there was also a small contribution of that
stuff that mikes gardens green in summer.
On Saturday morning, two good sized fish
ing boats were prepared for a trip to the
clam digging grounds, with about half of
the Palmer crowd going on the expedition.
•Colonel Corn", became "..dmiral Corn" for
the occasion and set the course of the mer
ry fleet. .. good stiff breeze met the
fleet as soon as they cleared the harbor,
and, for two and one-half hours the clam
diggers enjoyed all the benefits of a deep
sea cruise. Occasionally, white-caps wash
ed the bow of the vessels and a few of our
hardy citizens lost their breakfasts. ..fter
a careful patrol, a small harbor was found
and the boats tied-up to an old pier, and
the clam diggers disembarked for the happy
hunting grounds. It was not long until
many fine, juicy Butter Clams were being
pried out of the gravel and being steamed
over big wood fires. Some of the diggers
tried eating raw clams and found them de
licious. However, most preferred to eat
them cooked. large tub of crabs was also
cooked and eaten, and, there miy have been
a few. other refreshments of a liquid nature
But, it had to end sometime, and soon the
happy clam diggers were on their way back
to Cordova. *..dmiral Corn* became the chef
on the "Royal* and prepared a big pot of
steamed clams that were served with melted
butter on the way home.

entertained the crowd with a cabaret dance,
where light refreshments were served after
■the game on Friday evening. — wonderful
orchestra furnished the music for dancing
and the food and drinks were "on the house!
On Saturday evening two moro games were
played, the Rockets losing by four points,
as some »f the landlubbers from Palmer were
umble to get their land-legs back in time
for the game. The tatanuska Hotel boys
swonped the Cordova Moose in the last quart
er and won hands down. „11 games were
pjayed with the usual good sportsmanship
thit is observed when Palmer and Cordova
play. On Saturday evening the Cordova
Mtaose Lodge played host to the Palmer Con
tingent and a swell time was had by all.
Dancing, games and a general good time,was
the theme of the evening.
One of the high-lights of the trip, was
the signs nailed on the telephone poles be
tween the airport and the town. Especial
ly the one about the Red Headed ./ench and a
couple of other well-known people in Pal
mer. However, it -was all in fun, and
everyone enjoyed the trip. Cordova people
say they are going to swamp Palmer next
spring, and we will be waiting for them.
