Pretty farms and big square barns
That makes Matanuska.
Farmer Johns and turkey toms
That makes Matanuska.
The fanning land is good fine sand
It’s good fine loam in texture, '
Some good Swedes and some mixed breeds
That makes Matanuska.
.-•t y
V
Dairy cows and hip bow-wows
That makes Matanuska.
Cabbage heads and lignite beds
That makes Matanuska.
Fishing holes and mines for gold
It's skeeters, hugs or winter cold
It's Paradise, so I’ve been told
And that makes Matanuska.
Chee-Cha-kers and Bureau-crats
And that makes Matanuska.
Soldier boys and Democrats
And that makes Matanuska.
Pioneers and hard rock men
The way they drink it is a sin
Their gizzards are made out of tin
And that makes Matanuska.
Big high winds and clouds of dirt
And that makes Matanuska
And no one tells how much it hurts
The land of Matanuska.
We got no skunks or four legged toads
We got no sense and damn poor roads
We sweat like hell to carry the load
In the land of Matanuska.
Fair haired boys and cockeyed dreams
That makes Matanuska
And no fish in our fishing streams
That makes Matanuska
Far he it from me, you to deceive
We got no snakes to tempt our Eves
And it's too darn could for honey bees
In the land of Matanuska.
Palmer Town has gone to hell
And that makes Matanuska;
They got no water in the well
And that makes Matanuska
The Chee-chaw-kers, they will be bound
They're going to have a first class town
The old timers sit back and frown
In the land of Matanuska.
Some day it will rain again
In the land of Matanuska:
We’ll find a way to tame the wind
In the land of Matanuska.
And I’ll tell you we all agree
There is one thing we can believe
We need no snakes to tempt our Eves
In the land of Matanuska.

NO “PILLS" CURE CANCER
The American Cancer Society
urges patients to seek competent
medical help in treating cancer.
It points out that no cancer ever
cured itself and none was ever
cured by pills, powders, or any
other “home remedy” or “secret
method, medicine or gadget.”
•Many cancers can be cured but
anly if detected in time, the Am
erican Cancer Society points out.
< «■«< <<<<<<<<<<
Time is the most vital fact in
curing cancer. The American Can
cer Society warns that only early
cancer is curable.
