Sportsmen Plan
July Fish Fry
Plans for a mid-summer fish
fry, to be held sometime next
July, and a discussion of Colony
Day trap and rifle shoots, occu
pied the evening of directors of
the Matanuska Valley Sports
men at their regular April 17
board meeting.
Bjll Smith, chairman of the
Sportsmen’s Colony Day events,
suggested that both the trap and
rifle shoots be held at the range
where they were run off last
year. The traphouse is to be
moved back to the range, and
will be used to sign up shooters,
and as a dispensary for hot dogs
and coffee.
Committee members named to
assist in the Colony Day shoots
were:
Shotgun — Mr. Smith, C.
Sandvik, Kay McCartney, M.
D. Snodgrass, John Bush
and Dr. F. R. Sims.
Rifle — Claud Carroll,
Ralph Goodrich, Dan Flem
ing, Bob Walker, Gene Lewis
and James Wilson.
Merchandise prizes will be
awarded top shooters. The fee
will be upped to $2 this year, and
the club will supply all shells.
In discussing the summer fish
fry, it was decided to hold the
event on the shores of a lake, if
possible. It is to be held on a
Sunday, probably, but the date
will not be fixed until later in
the spring. Water sports and
boating were suggested as fur
ther possibilities on the day’s
program.
Families of club members will
be invited guests for the day.
A committee was named to
plan the day in detail and report
to the Sportsmen at a coming
meeting. Committee members
include Harry Rice, Bob Walker,
Mrs. William Roark and Mrs. F.

Easter Breakfast Together
WASILLA — Almost the entire
community spent Easter Sunday
at Community Hall here. The
day began with a sunrise service
at 7 a. m., and was followed by
a breakfast served by members
of the Church of Christ.
Ladies vow they served 97
breakfasts to Wasilla’s popula
tion of 98 residents, so they con
sider it a truly all-community
enterprise.
Breakfast was followed by a
Sunday School program and the
meeting ended with Easter
treats for all of Wasilla’s chil
dren.
