Legion Pictures
Go To Anchorage
Out-of-town winners took two
out of three paintings recently
given away by the Auxiliary of
the American Legion here. Win
ners of the three paintings, as
announced by Mrs. Lou Ras
mussen, Auxiliary head, were:
Verne Hendricksen of Anchor
age, first; Neal Wright of Palm
er, second; K. O. Fireovid of An
chorage, third.
Proceeds obtained by the Aux
iliary from the pictures will go j
into the chapter's rehabilitation
fund. Mrs. Rasmussen said that
by-laws require that a percent
age of every fund raised by
American Legion Auxiliaries be
earmarked for this fund.
Disabled veterans unable to do
other work make all the memo
rial poppies which the American
Legion Auxiliary distributes on
Poppy Day to honor the war
dead and raise funds for the
welfare of disabled veterans and
veterans’ children.
Marshal Warns Motorists
Shooting From Highways
Anyone who violates the terri
torial law which prohibits shoot
ing from within 30 feet of the
center of any highway will be
prosecuted to the full extent of
the law, Marshal Bill Bouwens
warned this week.
Mr. Bouwens said several Val
ley residents had complained of
careless use of firearms near
their homes. Some people evi
dently are shooting from their
automobiles as they drive along
the highway. Bullets on one or
two occasions have travelled
dangerously near small children
playing near their homes.
Mr. Bouwens asks that the li
cense numbers of automobiles,
from which the shooting occurs,
be reported to him. It is not
necessary to identify the person
with the gun.
A warning also was voiced
against the shooting of ducks and
other wildfowl which are nesting
on Valley lakes now. Any viola
tion of game laws will be prompt
ly dealt with, the marshal prom
ised.
