RANDOM RAMBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
The Dicks Cottle and Wilson
left for Seattle with the intent of
working in and about the west
ern states.
Being qualified as a licensed
big game hunter and guide. Clay
DeLand had a party out Wasil
la way. The party was able to
• carry four moose home with them.
C. “Ed” Henry and his family
left for Portland, Oregon where
they will establish their new
home.
Chuck Bergland is working at
Johnnie's Wasilla Bar, too. After
the Henrys leave, he'll be handl
ing the mail between the depot
and the post office.
The Clyde Thorpes have re
turned with their dog “Pal” from
their summer operations at the
“Grubstake Gulch” mine. If any
“color” was taken out, they did
not say so—but they did a lot
of assessment work.
Clayton “Rocky'' Racca is with
the Soil Conservation up “Roly
Jce'' way — taking pictures. I
didn't know where it was, either.
It's: N. W. of Big Lake.
Just as a suggestion—you who
have children going to school—
clip this out. Here are the Sat
urday dates your “kfds” will
have to go to school to make up
for their late start: The 9th, 16th
and 23rd of October; tire 13th and
27th of November and the 11th
of December. There will be three
additional Saturdays in the next
year—dates to be reported later.
Saturdays will be condensed
(like Carnation Milk?)-- short re
cesses and study periods. The
pupils should be out around noon
or shortly thereafter.

ardous in the Territory—what

VISITS IN WASILLA
At a special meeting, held at
the Wasilla School last Thursday,
Bill Krenz, Department of Alaska
Service Officer, carrying titles
of adjutant and quartermaster,
talked before a gathering of local
members and the auxiliary. Al
though he mentioned that it was
a “get acquainted” call, he did
bring up many pertinent points
regarding the VFW and its com
munity activities.
One item mentioned that
should be of interest to all vet
erans, especially those of wars
prior to WWII, is the method of
arriving at pensions. One need
not have a service connected dis
ability to draw these benefits. If
such a veteran has a disabling ail
ment that makes him partially or
wholly unemployable, it was sug
gested that they contact the ser
vice officer or the Veterans’ Ad
ministration Office in Anchorage.
This pension is rated by age, too.
Veterans of the Korean “polic
ing action” were advised to use
their benefits in the restricted
time limits. They are not given
