WAS ILL A WOMAN
CAN CAN ANYTHING
WASILLA - Anyone who is ex
pecting to be lost in Alaskan wil
dernesses this year should first
see Mrs. Martin Olsen and check
her plans. There probably isn’t
a better person in Alaska to be
lost with, judging from her ex
hibit of 158 varieties of canned
Alaskan foods at the recent Ma
tanuska Valley Fair.
Mrs. Olsen can do things with
Alaskan products that simply
aren’t done—for instance, she
makes a jelly from mountain ash
and elderberry, both of which
have been pronounced distinctly
unedible by the experts.
In addition to the jams, jellies,
meat and fish she cans, Mrs. Ol
sen does unorthodox but very
palatable things with all types of
Alaskan wild fruits. She made 18
different varieties of bottled
juices from Valley-grown fruits
for the fair display. She also
stirred up some luscious looking
ketchup from both huckleberries
and currants.
Needless to say, Mrs. Olsen won
the grand prize for best canning
exhibit at the fair. And she says
the 158 varieties she displayed
are just samples from a cellar
that’s stocked with several thou
sands of jars of good things to
eat.
For either getting lost in the
v/ilderness, or getting snowed in
at home, Mrs. Olsen would fit
right in as the kind of person to
have along.

Local Scouts To Compete
For President's Award
A new Scouting contest for .
the coming year has been an
nounced by Charles G. Burdick,
president of the Alaska Council
of Boy Scouts. Mr. Burdick will
give the president’s award to the
outstanding Boy Scout troop in
the territory, to be determined
on a 10-point rating covering all
phases of Scouting.
The president’s award is a spe
cial streamer which the winning
troop will affix to its troop flag.
Palmer’s Boy Scout troop will
compete with all of Alaska for
the award, according to Scout
master Victor Alfsen. The local
Scouts already have one stream
er award for their troop flag, and
they are hopeful of adding the
president’s award at the close of
the contest.
Seniors Go Hayriding
Members of the senior class of
Palmer High School opened class
social activities of the year with
a hayride last Friday evening.
The group rode to Kings Lake
where the evening ended with a >
wiener roast. Faculty guests of
the evening included Mrs. Mar
garet Cope, Harry Wimmer and
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Freeman.
Hazel Barnhardt was injured
in a fall from a horse last week.
She was thrown while riding and
suffered a broken right ankle.
She is now undergoing treat
ment in the Valley Hospital.
