Enough Oil For Valley
Needs Is Promised
(Contnued from Page 1)
heating units, were not yet in
operation at that time. Koslos
ky’s, Palmer Automotive Serv
ice and the Steve Ward building
were not using oil for fuel dur
ing the summer months of last
year.
The Valley has placed a for
mal request for an increased al
lotment through the Matanuska
Valley Farmer’s Cooperating As
sociation, according to Carl Ras
mussen, executive secretary. He
said he believed the increased
allotment will be granted, since
the quota does not allow for
the city growth which has oc
curred in Palmer during the
past year. Mr. Jorgensen’s later
promise bears out that belief.
The rationing program is gen
eral throughout the territory.
It is caused, not by a shortage of
oil, but rather by a lack of equip
ment with which to bring the oil
from its source. The shortage
of steel and consequent decrease
in the production of oil were
predicted by the nation’s leaders
early in the war years, and are
a direct result of the recent war.
^eace-time production of steel
for manufacturing uses has not
yet caught up with the great de
mand occasioned by the war
years shortages.
Great Future Is
Ahead, Davis Asserts

is a plan for borrowing in the
states through the Farmer’s
Home Administration, but it does
not extend to Alaska. He urged
that the matter be laid immedi
ately before Delegate Bartlett, in
an effort to get an appropriation
for the next fiscal year and to
extend the program to Alaska.
He promised to help in any way
possible.
Guests at Friday’s luncheon
included, in addition to Mr.
Davis: Jack Maze, Rex Monog
han, I. M. C. Anderson, C. W.
Peters, Charles Wilson, Carl Ras
mussen, Don Irwin, W. C. Mau,
Russell Wade, Parker Lester,
Mrs. Dorothy Bell and Miss Viola
Daniels.
Mother, Son Succumb
A mother, Mrs. James McPher
son of Sutton, and her tiny pre
maturely-born son, Michael Lee,
were taken by death at the Val
ley Hospital last Thursday. The
bodies have been removed to
Anchorage, where funeral ar
rangements are pending at the
Phillips-Mapleton Funeral Par
lors.
Mrs. McPherson was the moth
er of two other children.
Scout Fund Drive
Is Planned
Plans for an active drive for
funds for the Boy Scouts of this
area were formulated at Fort
Richardson last week, according
to a recent Anchorage announce
ment. Z. J. Loussac, mayor of
Anchorage, was named chairman
of the annual drive.
The history of Scouting in this
area was traced at the meeting
which planned the fund cam
paign. Committeemen were told
that in the past few years Scout
enrollment has risen from 38
members to 580 members. This
year’s budget for this area, which
will be solicited between July
31 and Aug. 6, calls for a quota
of $12,000. The territorial quota
has been set at $35,000.
All money raised for Boy
Scouts in the territory is expend
ed in Alaska.
