SKI CLUB PLANS
3RD ANNUAL RALLY;
PUBLIC INVITED
The public is invited to attend
the Matanuska Ski Club’s third
annual ski rally to be held at The
Butte, Friday evening, November
13, Ray DePriest, club president
announced this week.
As usual, there will be no ad
mission charge and a full even
ing’s program calls for lots of
fun for all. There will be dancing,
group singing, skits and refresh
ments.
During the evening a $50.00
White Stag ski outfit will be
awarded by the club. The re
cipient need not be present to
claim the award. The outfit
will consist of the very latest
styled ski clothes and has been
donated to the club by Kimballs
_of Palmer and Anchorage. -
Members of the club are work
ing each week-end to complete
the ski tow located at Little Su
sitna. A complete overhaul on the
motor was done this summer by
club member Ralph Farnsworth
and the cooperation of Sisley Ser
vice and has been set\up on the
higher slop where the giant sla
lom races were conducted this
past spring.
Although there is only a little
more than a foot of snow on the
slopes at present a few local
skiers and several from Anchor
age region have already started
their skiing season. Members of
the local club anticipate a much
larger membership this winter
than ever before.
In addition to the new location,
there will be a small warm-up
hut and a comfort station, the
latter which has already been
erected. The warm-up hut is
ready for framing and will be
worked on by members each
week-end until completed. Any
one interested in assisting the
club is invited to attend the
work parties held on Saturday
and Sundays.
DePriest pointed out that one
does not have to be a skier to
attend the rally or any of the
club’s public functions. Everyone
is invited, he said, dress comfor
tably and come along for a real
good time.
ALASKA LINE TO
CONTINUE WINTER
SCHEDULE IN DEC.
With the extension of the Mil
itary Sea Transportation Service
agreement with the Alaska
Steamship Company, weekly pas
senger sailings to Southeastern
and Southwestern Alaska will
continue from Seattle through
the month of December, H. N.
Peterson, company general traffic
manager announced this week.
MSTS has contracted for the
Alaska Line to transport 470 pas
sengers in December with the
possibility of 100 additional.
“It is hoped,” Peterson said,
“that we will be able to work out
an agreement to handle MSTS
passengers through April, 1954.
That will give maximum assur
ance that there will be no inter
ruption in passenger service prior
to the inauguration of next sum
mer’s tourist schedule which will
be announced shortly.”
The initial contract had made
it possible for the line to operate
through October and November.
