ZEILE RESIGNS
CHAMBER POST
Rev. W. L. Zeile resigned as
vice-president of the Valley
Chamber of Commerce at last
Wednesday’s luncheon meeting.
Reverend Zeile is soon to leave
the Valley to take up residence
in Davison, Mich.
Asked to address the group.
Reverend Zeile spoke empha
tically of the Chamber’s respon
sibility in getting a permanent
payroll into the Valley. “It is our
most serious lack here,” he
stated.
Rev. Victor Alfsen gave a brief
account of his summer's trip,
which took him through 30
states. President Jack Maze
summarized the action taken at
a merchants’ meeting earlier in
the week, with regard to food
shortages anticipated in the
Valley.
, LIBRARY FUND UPPED
WASILLA—This town’s library
fund got a healthy boost through
the efforts of the Wasilla Home
maker’s club at the Matanuska
Valley Fair. The club served din
ners at the fair’s dining hall on
Labor Day and grossed $500.
They estimate that $300 of that
will be clear profit when all bills
are paid.

Thieves Get $150
At Co-Op Garage
Thieves ransacked a safe at
the Co-op Garage last Saturday
evening. They took $153 in cash,
but overlooked more than $30C
lying in another compartment ol
the safe.
Authorities are uncertain as to
how they obtained entrance into
the safe. From the appearance
of its interior, it is possible that
the safe was blown open, accord
ing to U. S. Commissioner W. E.
Huntley. Marshal Bill Bouwens is
checking clues, but had no fur
ther announcement at press
time.
The Co-Op Garage robbery is
the third of a series which have
occurred within a month. Hart
ley Brothers Garage and Gras
ser’s Hardware both were robbed
recently.
BOY BREAKS THE LUCK
WASILLA—The recent arrival
of the Trent Johnson heir indi
cates that Wasilla will not be
exclusively a woman’s world in
the years to come. Wasilla’s wo
man shortage promises to come
to an abrupt end around the
1960s, for of seven local babies
born since the first of the year,
all have been girls with the ex
ception of the Johnson boy.
