A YEAR AGO
THIS WEEK...
The first serious accident of
the winter season had occurred
on the Valley’s icy roads a year
ago this week, sending Mrs. Dan
Cuddy of Anchorage to the Val
ley Hospital with serious inju
ries. She suffered multiple cuts
about the face and neck, but re
covered.
Palmer High School was open
ing its ’47-’48 court schedule in
Seward with a pair of wins, just
a year ago. Wasilla High School
lassies were learning what a real
privilege it is to be born in Alas
ka. Planning a Sadie Hawkins
day dance, they found the wom
an shortage so acute, that they
were allowed to tag two boys each
in the traditional race for a man.
Palmer’s P-TA, seeking a means
of raising money with which to
purchase playground equipment,
decided upon a movie and stage
show.
The Chamber of Commerce,
continuing its study of incorpor
ation, voted to sponsor a census
of the Valley as the first step in
determining whether Palmer was
ready for the measure.
Les Ray was announced the
chairman of the Valley’s first
Community Chest drive. Plans
for that drive were being formu
lated at a year ago this time.
The Valley Volunteer Fire As
sociation announced an open
meeting to discuss plans for fire
protection in the Matanuska Val
ley, and found only six Valley
residents held any interest in
such fire protection. However the
six agreed to go ahead with such
plans as were possible to their
small group.
School physical examinations
were finished, a year ago this
week. Summarizing the general
health of Palmer’s school chil
dren, Mrs. Walter Zeile, public
health nurse, said better dental
care was needed by almost all
Valley children.
Dietician Commends
School Lunches
Miss Penelope Easton, dietary
consultant with the Territorial
Department of Public Health,
visited Palmer school last week
to check the school lunch pro
gram. Miss Easton joined the
students at lunch-time and lat
er conferred with Mrs. W. C. Mau,
kitchen head.
The dietician pronounced the
Palmer lunch program superior
in every respect. She commended
the type of food served, manner
in which it was served, the cheer
ful atmosphere of the dining
room and the cleanliness of the
kitchen.
Planning Vacation
Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Hughes
and children, Kenneth and Vois
ella, are planning a trip Outside
on vacation. The Hughes, who
are supervisors at Lazy Moun
tain Children’s Home, expect to
be gone several months, but will
return in the spring. They will
visit Mrs. Hughes’ mother at Port
Orchard. Wash., and hope to visit
relatives of Mr. Hughes in Penn
sylvania before they return. They
will make their trip by plane.
