300 LEGS OF HAY-FED MOOSE
KEEP STORAGE WORKERS HUSTLING
Ever see 75 moose, all at once,
in the stage between woods and
centerpiece on the dining room
table? Know what a sizeable room
looks like when it's stacked and
jammed from floor boards to ceil
ing with hunks of moose?
Well, just drop in at Palmer
Cold Storage some afternoon and
take a look. There is, by actual
tally, 29.000 pounds of this season’s
moose stacked in cold rooms and
freezer units waiting for harried
Storage employes to whack it into
roasts, steaks, stews and moose
burger.
Owner Harry Ryan, who’s had a
night shift at work since hunting
began with caribou last Aug. 20,
estimates that it will b§ at least
six weeks yet before the last piece
of moose is wrapped, sealed and
tenderly tucked away into some
one’s locker.
First moose of the September
season fell to Bill Smith, who
brought its “giblets" back to town
to prove his claim to first, even
thought it took a day to get the
entire moose to the locker.
Biggest moose of this biggest
season, so far as Mr. Ryan can re
member, was brought down by
Dee Johannson, the animal weigh
ing approximately 850 pounds,
dressed.
Moose apparently will be the
mainstay of the Valley meat diet
this winter, the butcher predicts.
The animals are in good condition,
and plentiful, as the 15-ton figure
proves. Caribou were very scarce,
and goats do not promise to be
numerous. Very little small game
has yet been processed in cold
storage lockers, although ducks
and geese may begin to appear
later, since weather prophets pre
dict a late fall this year.
FISH HEARINGS SCHEDULED

4-H Records Are Due
Tomorrow is the absolute dead
line for turning in this year’s
record books for 4-H Club work,
Mrs. Bernice Johnson of the Ex
tension Office announced this
week. To date, it appears that only
two of the Valley’s 4-H Club mem
bers will be eligible for pins this
year—only two 4-H'ers have turned
in their books. And, “NO books,
no pins,” Mrs. Johnson declares.
She insists she means it this year,
too.
