FUN AND BANK BALANCE
Are net bingo results
Aside from the fun Valley residents had at the recent Bingo
game sponsored by the Valley Volunteer Fireman’s Association,
the organization netted a clear $201.83 profit, A1 Hagen, board
chairman, announced this week.
Expenses were necessarily high at this initial game, for
cards and game equipment were purchased. However, local busi
nessmen helped keep down the cost by donating food and refresh
ments sold at the concession stands. All help at the Saturday game,
as well as initial labor to set the hall, were donated.
Popcorn, hot dogs and soft drinks were contributed by the
following business establishments:
Hopkins Popcorn & Nut Shop, Bert’s Drug Store, Ron-Da-Voo
Cafe, Frontier Bar, Sourdough Club, Frontier Liquor Store and
Shamrock Bar.
Steve Ward made no charge for the use of his hall that
evening, and Cribb Construction Co. loaned one carpenter to set
up tables. All lumber used was contributed by Ketchikan Spruce
Mills. Two Palmer businessmen loaned trucks for necessary dray
ing and Bob Wendt set up a public address system for the evening.
Valley folks whe helped the firemen with various tasks during
the evening’s game included Mr. and Mrs. A1 Hagen, C. W. Peters,
Jack Maze, Bernie Bouwens, Richard Deming and Oscar Kindgren.
The evening was voted such a unanimous success that fire
men are planning a repeat performance for Dbc. 20. Electrical ap
pliances will be added to the hams and turkeys as game prem
iums that night.
The complete financial report of the first Bingo party, as
compiled by Mr. Hagen, appears below:

Flo Alice Reports
From Seattle
Flo Alice Dinkel was finding
Seattle a very interesting spot,
according to the second letter she
addressed to the Valley Fron
tiersman this week. Here’s what
she had to say aboujt it:
"We have been having a
wonderful time seeing all the
sights there are to see in Se
attle.
"Yesterday we spent mainly
for shopping and visiting the
different stores. We also visit
ed radio station KJR and talk
ed over it.
"Today we spent going to
the zoo and seeing a lot of
animals.
"We also went to Boeing
plant where airplanes are be
ing made. The Boeing plant
covers four acres of ground.
"Then, after that, we went
down to the locks and saw how
they worked. I also saw four
ships go through the locks—
three small ships and one large
one.
"I saw how the kitchen of a
restaurant is planned and how
the people in it work with
their electric equipment.
"Tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov.
25) a little after one we leave
Seattle."
Recent Associated Press re
ports of the Alaskan trio, Flo
Alice, Lynn Sandvik and Rich
ard Dangler, say they find Chi
cago weather much too cold.
Lynn is quoted as saying,
"I don't like it. I want to go
back to Alaska."
The 4-H conference has con
cluded now, and the three are on
their way back.
Flo Alice and Lynn are not ex
pected to be at home in the Val
ley until about Dec. 10.
