Choir Loft
Is Remodelled
Re-designing of the choir loft
in the United Protestant church
was begun this week. It is
planned to extend the choir plat
form forward into the auditorium
and to make the whole loft
somewhat shallower than it is at
present.
The alteration is expected to
add more depth and volume to j
choir music.
The choir of the church al
ready is at work on a Christmas,
contata, “Choral of the Bells.”
The improved loft arrangement
is expected to add greatly to aud
ience enjoyment of this Christ
mas music.
Date for presentation of the
contata will be announced soon

INSIST ON PROPER PACKAGING
Is this the merchandise you didn't get?
Help Eliminate Damage and Pilferage
*Io aid in the elimination of damage and pilferage of merchandise shipped to Alaska, the mer
chants of Alaska are asked to add their weight to the educational packaging program now being
carried on by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce with ihe support of the Alaska Steamship
Company and other interested firms in Seattle.
Thousands of dollars are lost annually through careless and insufficient packaging of freight
items resulting in damage, pilferage and ultimate late delivery or non-delivery. Not only do
such losses naturally tend toward increased prices, but from the viewpoint of the merchant the
delay involved is often of serious consequence. You want your merchandise when you order
it, and the Alaska Steamship Company wants to get it to you on time and in good condition.
The Alaska Steamship Company is making every effort toward the best and most careful
handling of all merchandise aboard ship, as well as cooperating in the current educational
program.
The merchants of Alaska can help—can save themselves time, money and trouble—by remind
ing their suppliers that merchandise shipped to Alaska must be packed to withstand multiple
handling. As many as twenty handlings—at warehouses, on trucks, docks and aboard ships
are required in some instances. Only substantial packaging will suffice. Substantial packaging
will also reduce pilferage which flimsy and broken packages invite. Proper addressing is also of
great importance—delivery instructions should be boldly marked on every package not on
just one or two of a group.
The Alaska Steamship Company has prepared and is distributing a bulletin giving detailed
information on the proper packaging of various items of merchandise. If you would like to
have a copy of this bulletin or wish it sent to any of your suppliers, just let us know.
Sincerely,
ALASKA STEAMSHIP

Is Assured
For Local Hotel
Last obstacles in the way of a
March 1 opening date for the
Matanuska hotel have been re
moved, it was declared this week
by William W. Head, Anchorage

tion of building progress last
Saturday.
Mr. Head recently returned

supplies and materials necessary
for the building’s completion
have been purchased. Five car
loads are now on Seattle docks,
awaiting shipment to Alaska
Dec. 4. They are expected in
Palmer no later than Dec. 15.

Anchorage Men Accused
Of Game Law Violations
Dalton Moores and Harold
Palmer of Anchorage were ac
cused of illegal possession and
transportation of moose meat in
commissioner’s court last week.
The pair failed to appear for
their trial here, but warrants
were served later by Holger Lar
sen, Fish and Wild Life agent, in
Anchorage.
A Pontiac sedan, allegedly
driven by Palmer and used to
illegally transport the front and
hind quarters of a female moose
over the Palmer highway on
Nov. 13, also figures in the case.
A petition in third district
court seeks the forfeiture and
sale of the car. Earl Cooper, as
sistant U. S. Attorney, main
tains that the Alaskan game laws
give the government authority
to seize any vehicle used for il
legal transportation of game.
Seniors Make Money
On Screwball Show
The Screwball show of the sen
ior class of Palmer high school,
which played to a full house in
the gymnasium last Saturday

successful financial event in the
Valley this year,” according to
show director Bob Lucus.
Gate receipts totalled $115.
he said. Of that amount, almost
$90 was profit.
Seniors have tentative plans
for a repeat performance at Wa
silla and possibly a third produc
tion in Anchorage. Announce
ment of future plans for the
show are expected shortly.
