Shoot Is Fun,
Sportsmen Plan
Encore On Fourth
Voting their Colony Day trap
shoot highly successful from an
amusement point of view, as
well as financially, members of
the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen
began to plan another at their
regular meeting last Wednes
day evening. Tentative arrange
ments now will place this sec
ond shoot on the Fourth of July,
when it will be presented in
collaboration with the Sham,
rocks’ planned field day.
Details of the plan will be
worked by a committee made up
of Bill Smith, Dee Johansen and
Bill Roark, who are to meet
with Shamrock manager Art
Stacey in the near future.
Dr. F. R. Sims, club presi
dent, reported that a group of
interested club members had
banded together to purchase a
second trap, which will be in
stalled soon. It was announced
that plans are being worked out,
so that club members may use
the gun ranges for practice dur
ing the evenings. L. C. Stock
presented a bookkeeping plan
that will make it possible to keep
adequate supplies on hand.
Parker Lester, president of the
fair’s board of directors, reported
that The Alaska Railroad has
asked for an additional 100 feet
of right-of-way along present fair
holdings. He said this request
might make it necessary to move
the ranges. Club members dis
cussed possible sites for a new
location but took no action.
L. C. Stock was appointed to
work with the grounds commit
tee of the Fair Association, in an
effort to arrive at a permanent
site location for the Sportsmen.
At the conclusion of the busi
ness meeting, Mr. Smith ad
dressed club members on the
subject of safety.
