Moore Named
Moose Officer
Six Valley men participated in
the recent all-Alaska convention
of the Moose Lodge, which was
held at Cordova. One of the
group, Ralph Moore, was elected
first vice-president of the Alaska
Moose Association.
The convention, which lasted
four days, was attended by 48
delegates from the territory. One
of the principal guests was Dr.
A1 Sartori of Spokane, Wash,
past supreme governor of the
Moose Lodge, who is now trav
elling through Alaska to visit the
various Moose chapters.
Among the resolutions passed
at the Cordova meeting, was one
which favors the Chitina-Cordo

and Cordova, thus offering new
markets for Valley-grown farm
products.
Palmer delegates to the con
vention included Eino Wirtanen,
Ralph Moore, Arthur Pierson.
