Paper at Palmer

PRESS WON’T STAND THE
GAFF SO MATANUSKA
VALLEY PIONEER QUITS
FOR THE WINTER.
Suspension of the Matanuska
Valley Pioneer for the remainder
of the winter at least was announ
ced in the December 19 issue by
Jack Allman, editor and publish
er. His announcement said:
"It is impossible to get out a
regular paper on this antiquated
and rickety equipment of ours.
The old press won’t stand the
gaff. Too often the fatigued
metal snaps under the strain of
steady pounding, and repairs are
expensive.
“A year ago in November we
announced that we would publish
a press printed paper. We re
marked, editorially, that if we
made a go of it we would be con
sidered smart, whereas, if we lost
our shirt there would be many
to tell us how foolish we were.
Well, we’ve lost our shirt.
‘‘Since there is no construction
force to sell to. the half dozen
merchants here can’t be expected
to supply us with enough adver
tising to keep us going.
PREFER PRAYER TO MEDICINE.
The Rev. and Mrs. L. M. Hart removed their son, Ralph, 16, from a
Dallas hospital to pray for divine healing of a skull fracture he
suffered in a traffic accident. Although they forbade medical attention
for the boy, they finally allowed a physician to set a broken collar
bone He said the boy, whose condition improved on the second day,
had a fifty-fifty chance to live. (Associated Press Photo)

TT GETS RESULTS
“With this issue about three
quarters of our subscription list
terminates and interest in the
project has dropped to such a
point that it is questionable if
many renewals can be expected
from the States. It will be much
less expensive to refund the un
earned balances of the live sub
scriptions than to continue losing
about fifty dollars a week. Be
sides, we haven’t got it to lose.
These refunds will be made from
accounts due, as collected.
“Changes in project set-up
make it necessary for us to move.
We will find a new home, try to
get out some job work, maybe
get out a special issue now and
then, and if things looks good in
the spring, get other equipment
and resume publication. And
when we do we will continue to
be on the wrong side of the fence.
By that we mean that we will
continue to tell the truth about
the agricultural possibilities of
the valley. We have written
many reams of laudatory (yet
truthful) articles on the subject,
but that wasn’t what they were
paying money for Outside.
‘‘It was the senseless drivel of
the Pledge Brows and the well
written but wholly untruthful
writings of the Rex Beaches that
dragged down the big dough.
Yes, decidedly, we were on the
wrong side of the fence, but we
still think we are right.
“The Pioneer isn't exactly dead,
but it is awful sick.”

Approximately twenty-five mil
lion application blanks for work
ers pensions are to be distribut
ed, and the task of handling them
out has begun. As usual the Post;
Office Department, always a will
ing nag, has been accorded the
job, and if the employee wishes,
he may call upon the same gov
ernment agency to carry back his
return, without postage. It may
be enclosed in a sealed envelope
marked “Postmaster, Local”, the
stamp being omitted. Paying
government pensions to employ-1
ees is a gigantic enterprise. No i
one supposes that the present
plan is perfect or complete. Am
endments and changes will be
necessary: but likely enough, 201
years from now the emloyee’s;
pension system will have settled
down to a basis that embodies no
more uncertainty than attends
the getting of a post office money
order.
New Jersey comes forward
with the strange and tragic story ;
■of Joseph Parucz, who was hit I
and injured by an auto, which in
itself was bad enough. They
laid him on a stretcher, a second
car struck the stretcher, and he
was killed. Away back in 1846,
the ship Cherokee was burned
near New Orleans. The survi
vors were taken aboard the ves
sel John Minturn, and the Min- j
turn was wrecked on the Jersey
Coast. Science has come to the
conclusion that lightning may
strike twice in the same place,
the adage to the contrary notwith 1
standing. The events referred to
indicate that New Jersey is a
Locality in which disaster is pecu
liarly likely to play a return en
gagement.
