VALLEY IS
PARTITIONED
FOR DRIVE
Palmer and its immediate sur
roundings in the Matanuska Val
ley were sub-divided into 38 dis
tricts at last Friday’s Community
Chest Board meeting. Farms ly
ing within the districts were list
ed and Chest solicitors and alter
nates were chosen in prepara
tion for the Nov. 1 opening of
the Community Chest drive.
Board chairman Les Ray plan
ned to contact each solicitor per
sonally early this week to pre
pare them for their Nov. 1 du
ties.
In addition, the ’48 goal was
fixed at $3,000. Valley organiza
tions have made the following
requests for Chest funds this
year:
Boy Scouts, S500; ACC A,
$300; Health Council, S600;
library, $100. The remaining
$1,500 will go into the Chest’s
disaster fund, and will be
drawn upon as Valley emer
gencies arise.
The directors discussed Wasil
la participation in the drive, but
arrived at no final conclusion.
The matter was tabled until Wa
silla residents could be reached
for an expression of opinion on
their participation.
Chest directors meet again at
the LesRay home on Friday, to
complete plans for the coming
November drive.
