Minstrel Is Set
For Saturday
Production Date
One of the biggest home-talent
shows ever attempted in Palmer
will get under way next Satur
day evening, when a cast of
more than 50 actors, singers,
dancers and chorines takes to
the boards to produce “Matan
uska Minstrels.”
The show, produced by Chas.
Dillon under P-TA sponsorship,
will benefit the treasuries of
both the P-TA and the teen
agers. The two organizations
split the profits equally.
The two-hour entertainment
includes music, dancing, jokes,
vocal soloes and chorus numbers.
It is produced entirely by Valley
talent, and is costumed by Val
ley designers. It will appear be
fore stage sets hammered out by
budding Valley carpenters from
the manual training class of
Palmer High School.
Although both school young
sters and adults .^are included in
the cast, the show is primarily
an adult production. Musical and
entertainment highlights of the
show include a clog dance by
George Small, a sword dance by
Pete Bouwens, vocal soloes by
Art Stacey, Hazel Geiwitz, Paul
Martin, Mary Ann Michalek, and
many others.
Pre-sale of tickets indicates
that there will be a full house
on Saturday evening. Chairs are
being moved into the auditori
um to make room for an expect
ed audience of 600. Tickets will
be on sale at the door on Satur
day, and at local stores ari"d
through teen-age selling teams
before show-time.
If you wear a poppy you prove
your allegiance to the disabled
Veterans. Give a little to those
who gave so much for you.

Few Vets Come
To Monday Meet
Because of a conflict in meet
ings, only seven veterans were
present at the first session of
the On-The-Farm training pro
gram. The meeting, held Mon
day at the school, was devoted
to a question and answer period
ai\d to the enrollment of those
men in attendance.
Eugene Kirsh, in charge of
the program, said Wasilla vet
erans had expressed much great
er interest in the new training,
than had men from the Palmer
area.
Class hours will be arranged
to suit the convenience of those
enrolled. Sixteen hours must be
completed during the month of
April.

Moose Still
Run the Valley
Although the moose are sup
posedly retreating to the foot
hills with the withdrawal of
winter, enough of the big ani
mals still linger in the Valley to
make life interesting for local
folks.
Valley-ites report f a c e-to
moose meetings in two spots
last week. One animal, which
had developed a partiality for
Dinkel pastures during winter,
chased Wasilla-ite Henry Han
sen to the Dinkel doorstep. And
when it became apparent that
Mr. Hansen was in danger of
losing the race, the animal was
shot.
Rusty Dow and Kenneth
Meiers, returning from Anchor
age one evening, both had near
collisions with moose near the
Matanuska bridge. One moose
bolted across the road directly
in front of the Meiers car, and
seconds later another disputed
the right-of-way with the Dow
truck.
Poppy manufacturing raises
the morale of the hospitalized
Veteran.
