artistry by world-famous Clar

night, March 13 in the Matanuska
Valley Sportsmen recreation

Anderson presented 50 differ
ent shots, many of them so fast it
was imposible for the observers
to keep track of the balls. Among
his more spectacular shots was
one where he flipped a dime into
a small glass by striking it on the
edge with the cue-ball. It looked
like a hard way to play tiddley
winks. i
Climaxing his program, Ander-1
son surprised himself and his
son surprised himself and his
audience by duplicating his
wo: Id’s record of dropping 171
balls into the pockets with one |
shot.

ritory the past 14 weeks as man- j
ager of the Aleutian Lanes in An
chorage 'and expects to remairt

April 22. Anderson and Hoppe
toured together and made ap-!
pearances throughout the states. |
Anderson appeared in Palmer!
through the courtesy of the Alas- j

return for another presentation if
the opportunity presents itself. .
He has been a semi-pro base- i
ball manager since 1921, has ap-:

program and was a long-time!
friend of Connie Mack.

LET’S 60 SKIING!!
Each Sunday sees a larger
crowd on the slopes at Little Sus
itna. This past week-end, skiers
took advantage of the fine weath
er and combined all types of ski
ing for a full week-end.
The 1200-foot ski low was
kept busy from early morning
until shut-down time and for
the first time ,a waiting line,
the width of the hill, was evi
dent most of the day.
Andy Brauchli, Dick Mekkel
sen and Bob Bronson went into
Anchorage Saturday to the St.
Patrick’s party held by the An
chorage Ski Club. They reported
a fine time. Brauchli stayed in
Anchorage for a day of skiing at
Arctic Bowl on Sunday.
The P-TA ski school was
brought to a successful close
Sunday when students com
pleted their course. These
youngsters have learned the
basic fundamentals of skiing,
under the teachings of Dick
Mekkelsen. Youngsters who
completed the course and re
Sunday when 15 students com
ceived certificates are:
Mary Jane Clark, Barry Dear
born, Larry Dearborn, Howard
Esslinger, Henry Gallant, Gordon
Ganschow, Brad Inman, Everett
Johnson, Joey Lawton, Errol Mc
Elroy, Johnny Mears, Mary Ann
Mears, Don Medaris, Colin Mick
and Ronald Shook.
Four others completed five les
sons and are: Don Jones, Waldine
Lundberg, Garry Rice and Eldon
Sandvik.
Three Anchorage members of
he MSC took a cross-country hike
to Independence Mine Sunday.
The climb took nearly four hours:
the run-back only 45 minutes.
Sitting on the sidelines was i
Ray DePriest, recently elected
MSC president who broke his
leg while racing at the Chugach
Ski Meet.
Plans for junior and senior
races to be held within a few j
veeks are progressing. Brauchli |
and Mekkelsen will be in charge
af laying out the course, expect
ed to include Grandmaw’s In
ferno. Skiers medals will be
awarded in first, second and third
place in both the junior and sen
or races.
Following tips appeared in an
other paper. We thought them
worthy of passing along.

SKI TIPS: Remember:
Fill your sitzmarks;
Heed the cry of “Track”;
Always climb on the side of the
main slope, downhill skiers
have the right of way;
Always pass on the left:
Never ski away from the main
slope alone, particularly above
the ski area and on the ridges;
Stop skiing if you feel tired or
weak—you may prevent a maj
or accident to yourself or oth
ers;
Do not walk on the slopes.
WHAT MAKES
A FISHERMAN?
One of the easiest ways to a
kid’s heart is through a fishing
pole. There is hardly a fisherman
reading these lines who cannot
recall his first fishing trip, and
countless pleasures down through
the years.
A lowly cane pole is suddenly
transformed into a magic wand
the instant a kid is found at one
end with a lively fish at the other.
That magic wand has the power
to instill memories that live
1 forever, and many a tired grown
up finds his mind wandering bare
footed, back to the old fishing
hole. In those days he had a rusty
hook or a bent pin, grocer’s
twine, a nail for a sinker, a can
of red worms, a pole of some
sorts, and the burning desire to
play hookey and tangle with a
big one.
Today he has the finest hooks
metallurgical science can devise,
nearly invisible lines of fabulous
nylon, lead sinkers of clever de
signs, the finest glass rods money
can buy—and the burning desire
to play hookey and tangle with a
big one. But for every tired, wish
ful grown-up who would like to
retrace those happy steps over
a once-familiar path, there are
countless kids who never will
know such thrills, such precious
memories, according to Heddon’s
research department.
There are new paths to be
worn and a new generation eager
to be shown how, why and where
this fishing thing is done. Heavily
on the shoulders of all fishermen
rests this responsibility. In every
neighborhood, or just around the
corner, lives a kid who never will
know these hallowed memories
which come from “just fishin’ ”
unless some fisherman puts an
arm around his or her shoulder
and shows the way.
Your oldest, dog-eared fishing
