TALL ANCHORAGE SQUAD
BESTS PALMER FIVE
A revamped Palmer court
five, si_::cusly crippled by the
season-long loss of tall Earl
Onkka and Jim Gleason and
further handicapped by the Chi
cago vacation of speedy Lynn
Sandvik, lost its first game of the
new season at Anchorage last
Friday night. But the local squad
made a basketball game of it for
three full quarters. The 44-21
final score was not the decisive
victory for Anchorage that it ap
pears on paper.
Palmer’s boys, inches shorter
than the Anchorage players, were
close on the heels of their op
ponents until midway through
the third quarter. Early in the
first quarter, Palmer led by three
points for a brief few moments.
They were behind 6 to 11 at the
quarter and only 15 to 18 at the
half.
The game was a free-fouling
affair, with a total of 29 called on
the two teams. Ray' Puhl, Don
Irwin and Walter Stevens each
had four fouls before the final
whistle.
Teddy Rafailovich and Bob
Pfiel were tops in the Anchorage
boxscore with 11 and 10 respec
tively. Both had been closely
checked by Palmer’s defense in
the first half. Walter Stevens
garnered eight points to lead
Palmer’s scoring. His smooth
ball-handling was a bright spot
in the Palmer loss.

Flour Rates
Down Again
Determined protests against
the recent rate increases on flour
shipped to the railbelt area have
resulted in some modification, it
was announced this week.
The present rates which will
apply only to flour shipments of
at least 30,000 pounds, will make
the tariff just 15 cents a hundred
pounds more than the former
rate.
The modification was effected
by request of officials of The
Alaska Railroad, according to in
formation wired to George Sund
borg of the Alaska Development
Board. Railroad officials em
phasized that the new rate was
never requested by them, but
was originated by the Alaska
Steamship Co.
Under the modified rate all of
the increase collected will go to
the steamship company and will
not be shared by the railroad.
AT A Chairman Names
Permanent Committee
Two additional members of
the Valley’s permanent Alaska
Tuberculosis Association commit
tee have been named by Mrs.
Harold Thuma, chairman. Mrs.
Thuma has selected Mrs. F. R.
Sims and Mrs. W. L. Zeile as
her assistants on the year-round
committee. Organization of this
permanent ATA committee will
permit 20 percent of proceeds
from seal sales to remain in the
Valley.
The money thus received is to
be spent in rehabilitation work
for tubercular patients and for
other needs in connection with
tuberculosis aside from hospital
ization. The Valley doctor and
public health nurse are to decide
who shall receive benefits from
the fund, Mrs. Thuma explained.

Soap that is not rinsed out of
clothes during laundering may
show up in a brownish stain re
sembling iron rust when the
clothes are ironed.
A new ice-cube tray has in

cube can be dropped into a drink

Medium-grey or buff paint will
last considerably longer than
white paint of the same kind, say
chemists of the Department of
Agriculture. More durable paints
are dark in color, like red barn
paint. Dark pigments absorb the
actinic rays of light which are
destructive to the oil binder of
the paint.
One way to beat the high cost
of ham at the butcher’s counter,
is to substitute bear meat.
One long-time Alaskan resi
dent says it’s delicious prepared
this way:
Soak the meat for about four
days in a brine solution. Then
put in the smokehouse and
smoke for eight days. Fry as
for ham. Mrs. Ben Hitchcock
of Caribou Creek declares it’s
good, and the Extension Office
endorses that statement.
Mrs. Hitchcock says both
black and grizzly bear meat,
either fresh or cured, is tops in
meat eating.
Grind either moose or caribou
meat in combination with pork.
PRIEST VISITS
Father James Conwell, chan
cellor of the vicariate of Alaska
of the Catholic church, was the
guest of Father James Snead of
St. Michael’s church last week.
Father Conwell has been visit
ing Catholic churches through
out the territory in the past
several months.
This was his first visit to the
Valley from his Juneau head
quarters, where he has served
for the past year.
The average copper ore in the
United States in 1944 contained
about 96 hundredths of one per
cent of copper.
