SPORTSMEN PLAN
BY-LAWS CHANGE
A recommended amendment
to the organization’s by-laws will
be proposed at the Wednesday
meeting of the Matanuska Valley
Sportsmen, it was decided at
last Sunday’s board of directors
meeting. The amendment will
make it mandatory that each
member of the organization is a
citizen of the United States, or
has declared his intention of be
coming one.
This change in the by-laws
must be made before the local
group can ally with the National
Rifle Association, it was learned
through correspondence with
NRA headquarters.
Membership cards were or
dered by the board at its Sunday
meeting. It is expected they will
be ready for distribution by
Wednesday evening.
It was also decided to keep a
rosterbook, which must be
signed by members attending
the general meeting. By-laws
rule that any member who
misses three consecutive meet
ings is dropped from the organ
ization. That member may be
reinstated only by the payment
of another membership fee.
Next Wednesday’s meeting
will be the third regular meet
ing of the Sportsmen, since its
organization. Members who have
missed the two meetings pre
ceding this one are urged to be
in attendance then.
Two special committees, the
range committee and the skeet
shooting committee, are sched
uled to report to the general
membership on Wednesday.
In further business at Sun
day’s board meeting, it was de
cided to have radio announce
ments of membership meetings
made prior to each monthly
meeting.
Board members also decided
to change their scheduled meet
ing date. The Sportsmen’s di
rectors now will meet on the
second Monday of each month,
rather than on the Sunday just
preceding the next membership
meeting.
The change in time was made
to facilitate the handling of club
business, since not enough time
elapses now between the board
meeting and the organization
meeting.
P.A. System Dedicated
The new public address system
recently installed in St. John’s
Lutheran church was dedicated
at a special service last week.
The system will be used to play
sacred music each Saturday eve
ning from 6 to 6:30, and each
Sunday morning preceding and
following the morning church
service.

KNOW ALL. MEN BY THESE
PRESENTS:
We, the undersigned, Herbert Hol
stein and Howard Estelle, of the Pre
cinct of Palmer, Territory of Alaska,
feel compelled to take this means of
Informing the good people of Mata
nuska Valley, and the entire world,
that If any person In the Matanuska
Valley, or anywhere else In this
world, has represented to them, or
shall hereafter represent to them,
that either of us has been guilty of
stealing potatoes or anything else
from anyone in the Matanuska Val
ley, or at any other place, such repre
sentations or accusations are abso
lutely false, totally without founda
tion, and have not the slightest sem
blance of truth.
We further take this means of in
viting any person who might deem
either of us guilty of this infamous,
but ruthless, charge to have issued
for us a warrant of arrest and to haul
us into any court of the land that we
might there be tried on such charge.
We not only invite any person to take
such course, but actually encourage
this course of action. We definitely
have not stolen from any person any
where, and we are certainly ready and
willing to prove our innocence of any
such wild and reckless charge.
Witness our signatures this, the
30th day of April, 1948.
(Signed)
