SUCCESS FACTORS MATANUSKA VALLEY
The most satisfactory announcement in connection with
the U. S. government farm colony project for the Matanuska
valley is that the government will provide a cannery, up-to
date creamery, cold storage plant, and complete marketing
set-up to handle the products of the district.
Without such a setup the project cannot succeed. With
such a set-up it should be able to take care of all products
and ship them throughout Alaska competing successfully
and even to great advantage against the millions of dollars
worth of imported farm products annually coming to Alas
ka.
The local markets of Anchorage, Fairbanks, Seward and
other nearby Alaska towns cannot begin to absorb all the pro
ducts in green state immediately after they are harvested.
The vegetable and berry crops, dairy products and the
like which the valley can produce must be put up in such
manner as to be able to compete with the very best from any
district in the states. Alaska produces vegetables and ber
ries and creamery products second to none—but they can
not go on the market in inferior condition and compete.
The high direction responsible for the cannery, cream
ery, cold storage and marketing plans is to be congratulated
on its plans. It is to be hoped these services will be install
ed in good time to take care of the products just as soon as
the farms come into production. The sooner the better.
Alaska has been buying from others too long. The soon
er she begins to consume her own products the sooner she
will begin to thrive. With the coming of an army of new
mining men—which should be encouraged by' something de
finite to expand the mining industry—and the coming of a
large number of army, navy and other government service
men, the number of consumers in Alaska will be vastly in
creased. ., , ,,
There will be plenty of people in Alaska to consume all
the Matanuska products and then some if Uncle Sam will
adopt a policy of vigorously aiding the development of all
Alaska’s major industries. He is leading off right in Mata
nuska More power to him on these lines—and with such
he will make Alaska one of the most populous and richest
commonwealths under the Stars and Stripes. Anchorage

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Community progress is synonymous with community
effort.
Too many people regard with blase indifference all but
what effects their own personal comfort and convenience
and give little thought to those factors that make them poss
ible.
When business is lagging is the time to spend more mon
ey for advertising. Business men who advertise feel a de
pression much less than those who cut down expenses by
cutting down advertising.
“While the desire to ride is instinctive in every person,
the automobile business would not be what it is today had
it not been for the tremendous glamour which has been built
up around the pleasure of ownership of a motor car through
automobile shows, millions of dollars worth of AVDERTIS
ING. and automobiles enthusiastically presented directly to
the prospect by the retail salesman,” so says Roy H. Faulk
ner, president of the Auburn Automobile Company.
The surest way to get satisfactory results in any under
taking is to find the best method of doing the job and then
get busy and do it.
The trade-at-home man is the one who gets the best of
everything.
Sad End Crippled
Little One Sent
From Anchorage
The sad news was received in An
chorage recently of the passing in
Seattle of little Thelma Olson,
charming little ten year old child,
who was sent from Anchorage to
Seattle early in February for treat
ment at the Seattle Orthopedic hos
pital. She was operated on for a
hip injury, sustained some 5 years
ago, which had rendered her almost
unable to walk. Her operation
seemed a success until pneumonia
set in and caused her death.
Flying here from the home of her
parents at Dillingham, on Bristol
Bay in January, the child came seek
ing aid. Shortly after her arrival
the President’s Birthday Ball was
held, and funds raised for treatment
of children victims.of infant paraly
sis and similar complaints. The An
chorage share of the fund was used
to send little Thelma, the only vic
tim of the kind here at the time, to
the Seattle hospital. All seemed
hopeful and more promising than
ever for the little child until the sad
news came of her passing.
Little Thelma appeared in person
during the President’s Birthday Ball
in Anchorage, wearing a pretty
white dress and standing on her lit
tic home made crutches. She greet
ed the many in attendance and was
very happy on that memorable
night.
All Anchorage and many friends
throughout Alaska will grieve over
the passing of little Thelma, and
their deepest sympathy will be
with the sorrowing parents and fam
ily at Dillingham.—Anchorage Daily
Times.
