over the roadbed threatens to
weaken and damage the road it
self.
Mr. King said Sunday’s weath
er was “perfect slide weather,”
but to date no slides have been
reported. He said he thought it
possible there would be no large
scale slides on the highway this
year, because of the lack of
heavy snows.
The road condition had
markedly improved on Monday,
with the abatement of Sunday’s
warm, gusty winds.

buckets and tubs ready filled.
Both firetrucks were put into
immediate action and the flames
were confined to the roof of
the log cabin, built according to
earlv-day specifications for Alas
kan shelter. The roof was of
logs, covered with a hard-packed
layer of dirt, in turn boarded
over with thick planks and that
finally covered with tarpaper.
Flames smouldered in the sev
eral thicknesses for some time,
but did comparatively little dam
age elsewhere.
The firemen reported the
cabin could easily be put into
livable condition again. They say
the fire started when gasoline
was poured over the fuel in a
wood stove, to make it burn.
A1 Hagen, chairman of the
board of directors of the Valley
Volunteer Fire Association, ex
pressed pleasure at the co-opera
tion shown by firemen manning
the two trucks and by the Wa
silla volunteers, who were head
ed by Walter Teeland, formerly
a member of the fire depart
ment in Anchorage.
Mr. Hagen said both regular
truckdrivers. Bill Cook and Art
Yohn, reported for duty, when
the alarm sounded on Tuesday.
In addition, there were five vol
unteers present to man the fire
truck, and other members of the
Association arrived at the fire in
private cars.
Masons Request
Lodge Charter
Master masons who met at the
C. L. Nelson home last Thursday
voted to take steps to organize
a regular lodge here, Mr. Nelson
reported Friday. A letter was
written to the Grand Lodge re
questing that a charter be grant
ed. Mr. Nelson said. An answer
to that letter is expected before
fore the next Mason and Eastern
Star club meeting, which will be
held in the Grange hall on Feb.
16.
There are now 42 members of
the Mason and Eastern Star j
clubs here. If the regular lodge
charter is granted, the group
will lay plans for the construc
tion of a Masonic Temple in
Palmer.

Elite Shoe Shop
Opens Tuesday
The Elite Shoe Shop, which is
located in the old harness shc|>
across from the Pearl White
Laundry, opened for business
this week. Owner R. E. Ketterer
has announced that he plans a
complete shoe service for Valley
residents.
The shop opening has been de
layed for the past week or two,
while Mr. Ketterer awaited the
arrival of an ordered shoe
stitcher.
Regular 9 to 5 work hours will
be kept at the Elite Shoe Shop.
However shoes in need of repair
may be dropped through the
chute in the shop door after
working hours.
Mr. Ketterer has been in the
Valley for the past eight months.
He has been employed in shoe
shops Outside, but has been
working in the Shamrock bakery
in Palmer until recently.
Typing Pupils
Win Awards
Six typists from the commer
cial classes of Mrs. Margaret
Cope of Palmer high school are
well on their way toward being
a desirable addition to any busi
ness office. The six, five girls
and a boy, were given competent
typing awards for reaching a
speed of at least 30 words a
minute, with five or less errors.
Students who were given the
award were Esther Kerttula, Don
Hutchinson, Marge Mielke, Hilda
Stenvall, Georgia Small and

Burchers Motor Home
Over Alaska Highway
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Burcher
returned from a trip Outside last
week, motoring over the Alaska
highway. Mrs. Burcher went out
to seek surgical treatment at
Mayo clinic, and has returned
much improved in health.
While at Mayo’s, the Burchers
saw LeMont Hamby, also under
going treatment there. They re
ported him to be in the best of
spirits, having particularly en
joyed his Christmas at home
with his parents, Mrs. Hamby
and his son Billy.
Mrs. Hamby expects to return
to the Valley sometime this
month.
Rink Is Ready
Several skaters got a turn or
two around the newly-completed
ice rink beside the Palmer
school, before the weekend thaw
turned it into a wading pool. The
Palmer student council has been
instrumental in preparing the
rink for use. Students now are
looking forward to a series of
winter skating parties, if the
weatherman will cooperate with
some appropriate winter weath
er.
Has that home cooking lost its flavor lately?
One of our delicious cakes or pies will put oomph
into any meal.
Try one for dinner tonight.
