Alaska Grows
By Thousands
Nobody knows for sure just how
many people there are in the ter
ritory these days, but the Alaska
Development Board is guessing
that there are 9,000 more here
now than there were at last cen
sus time—and probably 3,000
more right now than there were
a year ago.
The Development Board places
its estimate of total population
at 94,875. The Third Division is
way out in front in the figures,
practically teeming with human
ity estimated to number 34,700.
The Board’s guesses are just a
compilation of other guesses
made by the Alaska Native Serv
ice, mayors of incorporated
towns, and from school enroll
ment figures. Light and tele
phone installation data figures
also were used in making the
estimate. The territory’s next of
ficial census is to be taken next
year.
Evon DeLand underwent an
appendix operation at the Valley
Hospital last Monday. She ex
pects to return home today or
tomorrow.
Hoopsters to Be Idle
For Some Time Yet
There’s been no official call- i
out for hoopsters of Palmer High ‘
School yet, nor will there be for
several weeks more, according to
Coach James Gray, Jr. Mr. Gray
said he did not expect the bas
ketball season to get under way,
except for a practice encounter
or two, until after Christmas.
Turnouts now are awaiting a
reported installation of new
flooring in the local gym. How
ever, Mr. Gray expects to sched
ule initial workouts late this
month.
