Palmer Shooters
Take Matches From
Fairbanks Teams
Shooters from the Matanuska
Valley Sportsmen rifle club re
turned from Fairbanks victors in
a shoulder to shoulder match with
the Tanana Valley Sportsmen
Rifle club on March-6, 7, and 8
Palmer won over Fairbanks by
22 points in March No. 1, held on
Saturday—and again on Sunday
topped the far-north shooters by
19 points.
Those making the trip from Pal
mer and Eklutna were: Allen and
Norma Richie, Leona Burton and
John “Rip” Harris, by car; A1
Dickow and Vern Donaldson who
flew in an Aeronca Champ; John
Dodge and Jim Shook flying a
Cessna 120; and Ken and Marie
Westenbarger and Murray and
Helen Athearn who flew from
Eklutna in a Pacer. The group
was met by their hosts at Inter
national airport and taken to
private homes. Following the
shoot a buffet dinner was serv
ed by women of the organization
at the Tanana Valley Sportsmen
club house. Dancing and enter
tainment followed. The Palmer
group left Fairbanks around noon,
arrived home safely, but tired.
To complete the shoulder to
shoulder competition for this
season, Fairbanks shooters will
attend the All Alaska Sectional
Rifle and Pistol Match to be held
at Fort Richardson on March 27
and 28, then compete against the
Palmer club in the Palmer Range
on Monday, March 29, with a fare
well party to be held following
the shoot.
All members of the Matanuska
Valley club are welcome and are
urged to turn out and help show
the visiting Fairbanks teams as
good a time as was shown the
Palmer group. Those who will be
able to help are asked to con
tact Marie Westenbarger at the
Range any Monday or Friday
night.

UNIVERSITY TO
ACCOMODATE TOURISTS
As a result of pressing requests
from various tourist agencies the
University of Alaska consented
last week to make Harriet Hess
Hall available as a tourist summer
hotel during the coming tourist
season.
“The University is not anxious
to be in the hotel business”, Dr.
Ernest N. Patty, president of the
University, explained. “But after
conferring with the tourist com
mittee of the Fairbanks Chamber
of Commerce and representatives
of Fairbanks hotels, these groups
decided this move is necessary to
accommodate the increased num
ber of tourists already booked for
interior Alaska trips.”
“If the enrollment for summer
school continues to climb at the
present rate, the University won’t
be able to continue furnishing ho
tel accommodations.” Enrollment
for summer school this year will
be double that of last year, Dr.
Patty explained. Andrew Nerland
Hall and another dormitory on
the campus have been set aside
for the summer students.
University comptroller, Harold
A. Byrd, said all tourist accommo
dations will be double rooms cost
ing $4 per bed, or a total of $8
per day. This $8 rate will apply
if one person wants to occupy a
double room. These tourist rates
will not apply to summer students
and visiting faculty, Byrd ex
plained. .
