GO OUTSIDE
Leonard Bergan and family,
who live at the Butte, left the
Valley last Sunday to drive Out
side. They planned to be gone
all winter, and possibly longer,
Mr. Bergan said. Their destina
tion was Monitor, Ore.
Thaw Caused
Many Wrecks
The misplaced Florida weather
that swept the Valley bare of
snow last week, first smoothed
snow-packed streets and roads
to glassy smoothness. Motorists
and pedestrians alike skidded to
market and skidded home again
before the ice disappeared en
tirely.
Many motor vehicles were in
volved in accidents on Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday, al
though none resulted in serious
injuries. The most spectacular
smash-up occurred at Eklutna
crossing last Thursday evening,
when an automobile failed to
stop at the top of the incline and
skidded to a collision with a pass
ing freight.
The vehicle was carried nearly
50 feet down the track before
the train could be stopped. Al
though the automobile was al
most demolished by the accident,
none of its five passengers was
seriously hurt. Mrs. Gloralie
Brown suffered a broken ankle
and Mrs. Fred Hasekoester a
fractured arm. The other three
passengers needed only first aid
treatment at the 183rd General
hospital at Fort Richardson,
where they were taken.
Lt. Harold Lamberton of the
Post, who is living in the Val
ley and assisting Dr. R. E. Garret
on weekends, arrived at the
scene of the accident in time to
assist the injured passengers.
A second train-automobile col
lision occurred in Palmer the
following evening. Again the oc
cupant of the vehicle was un
hurt. The Anchorage-bound train
struck a Studebaker truck at»the
downtown Palmer crossing. The
vehicle was driven by Mrs. John
McDonald of Palmer. She was
shaken up but not otherwise
hurt.
Buses of both the Matanuska
Valley lines and the O’Harra Bus
Co., slid off the road during the
three-day period of thaw. Pas
sengers and drivers were unin
jured in both cases. Drivers re
ported seeing as many as “seven
or eight cars” in the ditch along
the highway between Anchorage
and Palmer.
Cordova Games Scheduled
Wright’s Girls, Palmer wom
en’s basketball team, have a two
game basketball date at Cordova
on Dec. 12 and 13, Mrs. Ethel
Lyons, team manager, announced
this week. Cordova has con
firmed the dates for that week
end.
A Valdez team has been seek
ing a meeting with the Palmer
squad also, Mrs. Lyon reported.
It was at first planned to govto
Valdez before the Cordova game.
However suits for the squad still
are en route from the states and
probably will not arrive here un
til just before the Cordova en
gagement.
Team members will fly to Cor
dova. A plane has been chartered
for the trip. It now is tentatively
planned that the Shamrocks will
play a Cordova town team at tfie
same time, in order to cut the
cost of air transportation.
