SCOUTING IN THE MATANUSKA VALLEY
“On my honor I will do my best: To do my duty to God and
*ny country, and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at
all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake,
and morally straight."
Above is the Boy Scout oath. From this, and the Scout law which
includes 12 points, namely—A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean,
and reverent—is built one of America’s Far-reaching organizations,
the Boy, Scouts of America.
Today 2,440,000 boys are enjoying Scouting in its three pro
grams—Cubs, Boy Scouts, and Explorer Scouts, each appealing
to boys of various age levels.
Here in the Matanuska Valley are boys of these age levels.
There are two Boys Scout troops and one Cub Scout Pack. Nearly
100 local boys are seeking participation in this world-wide organiza
tion. Boy Scout Week this year has been dedicated to honoring the
Cubmasters the Scoutmasters and the Explorer Advisors—the men
who bring Scouting directly to the boys.
To them has been entrusted the care and guidance of our boys
and young men. It is their influence upon the Scouts of today with
whom they work and play, that help mold these boys and young
men into better citizens and better proponents of the American way
of life.
The Scout leaders in the Matanuska Valley are in need of adult
help. An appeal has been made to parents and interested adults
to assist the leaders in their ever-growing work in the Scout
program. An appropriate time to volunteer assistance to the Scout
program would be during Boy Scout Week. When the Boy Scouts
of America was incorporated in Washington, D. C., on February 8,
1910, it was founded as the voluntary movement it still remains.
There are now 860,000 Scouters who take time from their own
careers to give service in Scouting in order to help their com
munities do a better job of building citizens. Won’t you lend a
hand?
PALMER HOOPSTERS
TO PLAY ANCHORAGE
EAGLES FRIDAY
Members of the Palmer High
School basketball team, who re
turned from a two-game defeat
at Fairbanks this past week-end.
will meet the Anchorage Eagles
on the Anchorage Junior High
court this Friday.
Anchorage, in second place in
the Railbelt Conference by hav
ing defeated Seward in two gam
es last week, will be out for a
definite win. This will be the last
of four games between the two
schools. On December 11 Anch
orage handed the Palmer team a
defeat, 4j to 38. However, the
next two games, played on the
Palmer court, went the other way
and Palmer took the Eagles in
both. Should Palmer defeat the
Eagles Friday night they will be
tied with five wins apiece.
The Fairbanks Malemutes, who
now hold top position in the
Railbelt, will journey to Palmer
for two games on February 12
and 13. Two wins for the Palmer
team would put them right back
up there.
Scores in the Fairbanks games
were as follows: January 28, Fair
banks, 57, Palmer 41. January
29, Fairbanks 68, Palmer 54. In
the latter game Palmer’s Don In
galls and Fairbank’s Denny Krize
tallied identical scores of 27
points apiece.

Service home demonstration lead
er, is back at her desk at the
Extension Office this week.
