Top Enrollment
Is Expected
At Scout Camp
An all-time high in camp reg
istration was expected at King’s
Lake this week, when final fig
ures are compiled on the en
rollment of Boy Scouts. The
first Scouts began to check in
at King’s Lake at 3 o’clock last
Sunday afternoon.
Swimming instruction is to be
the primary lesson of the camp
this year. Two classes daily are
to be given—a lesson period in
the morning under the direction
of Steve Wells, and a for-fun
water session in the afternoon’s
relaxation period. It is the aim
of this year’s camp instructors
to make every Scout thoroughly
at home in the water before he
leaves the camp.
Five new members of the Or
der of Arrow, national Scout
fraternity, will be pledged dur
ing this week’s camp.
Scouts from Palmer, Wasilla
and Anchorage are expected at
the camp, where instruction and
all camp activities will be con
ducted on a troop basis.
Scoutmaster Vernon Fridley of
Palmer will be a member of
the camp staff. Other instructors
include Scoutmaster W e n t e r
Harvey of Wasilla and Raymond
Wilson of Fort Richardson, Jo
seph Otter, Tim O’Brien, Mel
vin Moran, C. R. Dilly, Jack
Hamblin, Leon Anderson and
Hal Gribble of Anchorage.
Airport Gets
Oil Allotment
An additional 6,500 barrels
of Diesel oil has been allotted
to the work at Palmer airport,
Association secretary Roland
Snodgrass announced this week.
For a time it was feared that
a threatened oil shortage might
hold up the development here.
In the meantime, work on port
runways continues to progress.
However Mr. Snodgrass requests
that those runways be restricted
to the use of airplanes only. He
concedes that the airstrips are
the smoothest highways in the
area, but he frowns upon the
recent practice of utilizing the
runways for joyriding.
Aside from the wear and tear
on the strip, there is consider
able hazard to the automobiles
involved. There’s still no case
on record where an automobile
came out of a plane-auto col
lision in first class condition.

Nine hot, tired and grimy bi
cyclists pedaled wearily into Pal
mer last Wednesday evening to
finish the second lap of what is
to be a 600-mile Alaskan bike
trip. The nine, all members of
the American Youth Hostel, had
disembarked from a steamer at
Seward on Saturday, had ped
aled to Moose Pass and thes
boarded The Alaska Railroad
for a ride to Anchorage.
They left Anchorage Tuesday,
riding as far as Eagle River
where they camped for the night.
Their plans, in true Youth Hostel
tradition, call for outdoor camj)s
and campfire cooking all during
their Alaskan tour. And during
their month’s stay in the terri
tory they must subsist on an al
lowance of $1.35 a day per per
son. That’s a daily increase of
35 cents over states’ allotments,
a concession to the high cost of
living in Alaska.
After camping on Palmer’s
fairgrounds Wednesday evening,
the Hostel party left Thursday,
en route to Willow. They planned
to bike all the way, and then to*
again board a train for a lift to
Mt. McKinley, where they will
tour the Park on their wheels.
From the Park they’ll ride by
train to Fairbanks, where they
plan to cycle down the Richard
son Highway to Valdez, there to
take steamer for home.
Each cyclist carries a pack,
which averages from 25 to 35
pounds in weight, and which in
cludes his bedroll. The nine
young men and women repre
sent the first trip to Alaska for
the American Youth Hostel. It
will not, however, be the first
long-distance bike trip in the ter
ritory, for two Fort Richard
son women employes biked from
Anchorage to Fairbanks in 1944.
It took them 10 days to make the
trip, and they were forced to
camp out only twice along the
entire route.
The Youth Hostel plan has *
been formulated to promote un
derstanding and good will among
young people everywhere. The
plan is well developed on tljt;
continent of Europe, where hos
tel shelters are erected a day’s
bicycle journey apart. It will be
remembered that the former Miss
Peggy Elefson, Palmer, second
grade teacher last term, cycled
through France on a Youth Hos
tel tour last summer.
