VALLEY SPORTSMEN PLAN
SKI TOW, TURKEY SHOOTS
Construction of the proposed
ski tow and plans for holiday
turkey shoots are the two big
musts on the Matanuska Valley
Sportsmen’s November calendar,
It was decided at last week’s
board meeting.
Board member L. C. Stock re
ported that high school stu
dents, interested in skiing, had
promised to help install posts
and do the manual labor of tow
construction. However the work
cannot proceed until an expert
skier takes time to decide where
the lift will be constructed. A
committee was to visit the pro
posed tow site this week and plan
the work.
The board also discussed plans
for proposed turkey shoots, to be
held during the month. Both
shotgun and rifle shoots were
suggested as possibilities. Pro
posals for the holiday shoots will
be outlined to club members at
tonight’s meeting in the Grange
Hall.
The membership also will hear
committee reports concerning
possible construction of an in
door range at tonight’s meeting.
A committee named to negotiate
for lease of the basement be
neath the Rec Hall reported at
last Monday’s board meeting. It
was stated that the basement
could be rented at a cost of $20
a month, with the club member
ship responsible for all necessary
construction.
A1 Hagen, owner of the Valley
Theatre building, also offered
space for an indoor range. He
said the basement of the Valley
Theatre could be made available
to the Sportsmen at a monthly
rental of $50. Club members
would be responsible for all
building alterations necessary
to convert the theatre basement
into an indoor range.
Both rental proposals will be
submitted to the membership for
discussion and vote at tonight’s
meeting.
Marines Get Medals
Marines who earned a service
medal during the recent war now
may be issued those medals by
volunteer reserve recruiting of
ficers, according to announce
ment from Col. H. G. Newhart.
The plan was evolved so that all
former Marines may receive their
medals with the least inconveni
ence. Medals to be so distributed
include American Defense Serv
ice, World War II Victory, Amer
ican, Asiatic Pacific, European
African-Middle East Campaign
and China Service.
