TELLS OF TRIP
TO YUGOSLAVIA
Steve Ward, Palmer business
man, was guest speaker at Pal
mer Kiwanis luncheon meeting
on Monday of this week and told
members of his recent air trip
to his former home country, Yu
goslavia.
Speaking briefly, Mr. Ward told
of business, living and industrial
conditions of the country today.
Most of the machinery on the
larms are American made, he
said, although there are still not
too many mechanized farms. Al
though there is electricity in the
cities, there is very little rural :
power at the present time. Farm !
land is utilized at all times. Ward
said, with government taking j
cjwd.y janus mac are not oemg cul
tivated by one farmer and giving
them to other farmers who can
cultivate. Government control is
seen in other types of business,
with controls placed on costs of
operation.
With the money rate exchange
very high, Mr. Ward said he
found the amount of money he
had planned for his trip to be
more than adequate. Average
prices for a nice apartment run
around $2.90 a month (our
money); good ham and eggs meal
about 30 cents, and fine steaks
at about 80 cents a meal. Altho
ugh this seems unbelieveably low
by our money standards, Mr. i
Ward pointed out that wages run !

HEALTH FOR
EVERYBODY
'‘What, Never?"
“Well, hardly ever.” Even the
Captain of Gilbert and Sullivan’s
“Pinafore” occasionally suffered
the pangs of sea sickness. You
don’t die of this horrible malady.
You only wish you would.
The fact is that modern science
instead of controlling sea sick
ness, has caused it to become
more widespread. More and more
ways of traveling have been in
vented, and more and more peo
ple are going places. It is now
Known that it isn’t only sea travel
that brings on the awful feeling
in the pit of the stomach. Planes,
trains, and cars can also be the
villains. We’ve had to change the
name to “motion sickness.”
In wartime experiments thou
sands of military personnel suf
fered in the cause of science by
being jounced in swings, spun in
tilting chairs, flown through tur
bulent air, and bounced about in
small boats in rough water. One
result of their sacrifice has been
a precise definition of the signs
of motion sickness drowsiness,
pallor, cold sweating, salivation
and swallowing, nausea and vom
iting, appearing in that order.
Among other things learned
was the fact that motion sickness
is not “just your imagination.”
It’s always caused by motion,
ever in the classic case of the old
lady who got sick before the ship
left the dock. Boats do move while
tied up. Inexperienced travellers
were found . to be more suscept
ible, but really rough travel will
make nine out of 10 persons sick.
The wartime studies also show
ed that motion sickness is a prob
lem for the doctor and pharma
cologist as well as for the engin
j eer. Shock absorbers, gyros, and
j other devices to stabilize the
i equilibrium of vehicles aren’t {
j enough. Some types of motion .
! are almost impossible to abolish
j mechanically. In recent years drug
i compounds have been found to
protect the passenger with some
success, providing him with an
internal “stabilizer.” Physicians
today can prescribe several rem
edies almost as effective as the
sailor’s favorite—“go sit under a
tree.”

MATAKUSKA VALLEY FARMING AREA
FARMING AREA. The approximate area of the Valley below,'
Moose Creek is about 1.000 square miles. About 40,000 acres or almost
64 square miles are now in farms, a number of which were abandoned
by homesteaders prior to 1935. It is estimated that there are at
least 25,000 to 50.000 acres now in timber (chiefl y birch and spruce)
which would be suitable for new farms. In the nearby Talkeetna
and Chugach Mountains there are 200,000 acres, or more, which is
excellent for sheep and cattle; now used almost exclusive’ by
mountain goats, and moost.
The Valley is about as near the Arctic Circle as Oslo in Norway
! and Leningrad in Russia. Practically all of Finland and most of Nor
way and Sweden are farther north. Climate of the Valley is tempered
considerably by the Japanese Current, which, after crossing the
Pacific Ocean to the shores of North America, flows north and west
in a broad arc through the Gulf of Alaska and thence southwest
along the Aleutian Islands. Winters are not much larger than ;hos
cf the Northern Intermountain States, nor are their temperature.,
so severe.
