A YEAR AGO
THIS WEEK...
An upsurge in business occu
pied most of the space on the
Frontiersman front page a year
ago this week. Dorothy and
Maynard Sands of the-then Val
ley Telephone Exchange (now
become the Matanuska Valley
Telephone Co., Inc.) announced
planned 24-hour service on the
local switchboard and an expan
sion of service to rural sections
of the Valley. The Sands became
owners of the Exchange on Oct.
2, last year.
A1 King was announcing the
near-completion date of the King
building.
Keeping up with new develop
ments of the Valley was the agri
cultural end of living, too. Dr. Z.
M. Fineman, agronomist at the
Experiment Station here, was an
nouncing the arrival of a new po
tato, Chisago, which he said
would be ready for planting this
spring.
Valley homemakers were be
ginning to be troubled by the
high cost of living, and were
making plans to do something
about it. The Homemaker’s Coun
cil declared that one of its chief
projects for the year would be
a study of how to bring living
costs down.
The Valley Frontiersman had
its own cause for jubiliation, for
just a year ago today the Fron
tiersman passed a newspaper
milestone, when store owner Jan
Koslosky brought the first full
page ad to appear in the paper’s
columns.
Nurses were receiving the sym
pathetic attention of the Valley’s
workmen, who were laboring in
volunteer crews to finish Quon
set quarters at the hospital be
fore cold weather set in. The
Valley Volunteer Fire Depart
ment was planning a fire sta
tion, and was investigating sur
plus buildings along the Alaska
Highway.
School physical examinations
were progressing well, with the
first four grades having been
duly weighed and measured at
this time last year.
Lutheran ladies were planning
a turkey dinner, which was des
tined to become an annual event.
John Hopkins had opened his
Popcorn Shop. The Herbert Bry
ans and daughter Betsey were
newest Palmer residents, and
the Wasilla population had been
swelled by the arrival of the E.
A. Alexander daughters and par
ents.
