JPinal Banquet
After Graduation
Graduates of Palmer high
iiphool of 1948 will hold their
first class reunion just after com
mencement exercises on May 20.

the last time as a unit that eve
ning, when they meet for a ban
quet at the Palmer Fountain. |
Plans for the evening still are in
complete, seniors say, but they
are looking forward with plea
sure to this opportunity to be

longer.
Choir Showers
Absent Bride
Fellow choir members honor
ed Mrs. Darrell Frank, a recent
bride, with a miscellaneous show
er in the parlors of the United
Protestant church last week. Re
freshments were served in the
dining room at the conclusion of
choir practice.
Mrs. Frank very nearly missed
sharing in the party and in the
beautifully decorated cake serv
ed by Mrs. Mau, for she chose
last week to be absent from choir
practice. However choir leader
Harry Wimmer was sent in
search of her, and she arrived in
time to cut the cake for her
guests.
Red Cross Fund
Swells To $140
A final recheck of this year’s
Red Cross drive proceeds by Mrs.
Harry Ryan, drive chairman, last
week unearthed an additional $9,
she reports. That brings the Val
ley’s drive total for the year to
$140. The drive was conducted
by the Senior Girl Scouts, the
troop for which Mrs. Ryan is
leader.
Still The Same
The condition of Edward
Casey, miner from the Snowbird
who was recently severely fro
zen, remains unchanged, Valley
hospital attendants said this
week.
Sportsmen's Board Meets
The next regular meeting of
the board of directors of the
Matanuska Valley Sportsmen,
which recently changed its meet
ing date to the second Monday
of each month, will be held on
Monday, May 10. The meeting
time has been moved up to 7:30,
in order to avoid conflict with a
planning meeting for Colony Day
to be held at 9 o’clock that eve
ning. Both meetings will be held
at the Palmer Fountain.
Crepe paper poppies are used
by the American Legion Auxil
iary for Poppy Day distribution
because making this type of
tiower provides interesting and
beneficial work for sick and in
jured war veterans.

Sportsmen Plan Casting,
Trapshooting Contests
(Continued from Page 1)
Goodrich said. The club decided
to lease the site, upon its com
mittee’s recommendation.
Bud Lacher reported that land
at Swan Lake, which the club
seeks to lease for wild rice plant
ing, is available. Negotiations
must be conducted through a
club officer, according to a regu
lation of the District Land Office.
Dr. F. R. Sims, president, was
designated to complete terms of
the lease.
Club members voted to ap
prove the purchase of two addi
tional traps. Chek Sandvik was
named to a committee to com
plete the purchase.
Lou Henke was asked to in
vestigate the surplus office on
Fort Richardson to see if either
shells or ammunition might be
available there.
Carl Stoeckle of the Fish and
Wildlife Service spoke briefly
concerning conservation mea
sures particularly pertinent in
the spring. He spoke emphatical
ly against the shooting of ducks
and geese in the spring, when
they are practically unfit for
food, and against the practice of
shooting rainbow trout on the
spawning grounds.
He also deplored the practice
of snagging game fish. He said
he was not quite certain that the
practice was illegal, but he was
more than willing “to make a
test case out of the first one I
catch at it.”
Tom Lepak was named the
head of the refreshment com
mittee for June. At the conclu
sion of the business meeting
James Frey entertained mem
bers with slides of Alaskan
scenes taken in the Interior. Dr.
R. E. Garrett, scheduled to talk
on first aid, was ill and unable
to attend the meeting.
Hospitalized veteran finds
relaxation and vocational ther
apy in the fashioning of crepe

for disabled veterans and their
children.
