For Frontiersman
Although the editor of the Val
ley Frontiersman hasn’t yet ef
fectively found the answer to the
problem of being in two places at
once, and therefore is a bit per
plexed on how to maintain an
office schedule and still dig up
reports of Palmer activities, the
following program will be at
tempted:
Weekday office hours in the
morning between 8:30 and 10
o’clock. .
Weekday office hours in the af
ternoon between 2:30 and 5
o’clock, except on Monday and
Fridays. |
Monday afternoon will be [
spent at Wasilla and Thursday
afternoon at Jonesville.
Evening office hours between
8 and 10:30 each night.
Sunday office hours between
noon and 6 o'clock.
If there is no one at the of
fice when you call, leave a note
in the typewriter naming a time
for an appointment. Appoint
ments, at least, will be kept on
schedule. Office hours may be
irregular, but the listed schedule
will be kept as closely as pos-(
sible. i
WASILLA MEETING
A meeting of the Wasilla
Community Club is scheduled
-for Thursday at 8 p.m. in the

rr.ann, president of the Cemetery

MOOSE HUNTS MAN
BUT TROPHY ESCAPES
One Valley moose almost got
his man this week in the Lazy
Mountain area. When hunter
Glen Wood glimpsed his winter
meat ration there Tuesday, he
found him in an ugly mood.
But Mr. Wood's nerves are
steady and his aim was good that
day, with the result that he car
ried home a bigger moose than
any seen in the Valley before.
The hunter quartered the ani
mal and discarded 73 pounds of
trimmings before bringing the
carcass to his meat locker here
in Palmer. With the excess trim
mings discarded, the four sec-i
tions still tipped the scales at
850 pounds, to top last week's
record of 841 pounds, trimmings
and all.
Mr. Wood says his animal
weighed 923 pounds before he
started paring it away.
And although his kill is the
biggest thing to be brought in
here since residents started keep
ing records, Mr. Woods thinks
there’s still bigger moose left in
the Lazy Mountain area.
His reason for that theory is
because his prize had obviously
just come out second-best in a,
battle. One antler was broken
away, the animal had at least
one broken rib, and his carcass
was gashed and scarred.
Mr. Woods feels that the only
thing which would do that much
damage to a moose of 923 pounds
is a bigger moose. Anyway he's
going to investigate his theory
next time moose season opens
here.
Other local hunters were not
so lucky at the end of moose
season this week. Mr. V. R.
Wilkerson tiptoed away from
store duties last Friday morning,
for a last-minute hunt, and shot
his moose only to have the ani
mal stagger away into thick un
derbrush, where he was unable
to reclaim it.
Meat continues to pour in at
the Palmer Cold Storage and
Locker Service. The biggest day
of the season there, according to
Harry Ryan, was last Thursday,
when six moose came in for
freezing.

to remark, “I can think of no
more-beautiful spot in which *to
plan a town than the spot you
have here.”
The flying visit of inspection
carried the Congressmen from

the Matanuska Valley Bank to
the Co-op creamery. They spent
most of their time in the cream

put of dairy products.
