Wright*s Girls Beat
Cordova Team Twice
Wright’s Girls, town women’s
basketball team, responded to
hearty welcoming gestures of
friendship at Cordova last week
end by rudely setting their host
esses back on their heels to the
tune of two one-point margin
victories. The games were the
first defeat for Cordova in the
past two years. The local squad
took the first encounter 21-20
and the second 31-30.
The Shamrocks, town men’s
team, were a bit better briefed
on their Emily Post, so they split
their engagements with the Cor
dova men, winning the first 38
22 and losing the second 16-24.
Both men and women re
ported an all-out welcome at
Cordova which included every
thing from speeches of greet
ing by the mayor to welcom
ing placards on the Christmas
trees which now line Cordova's
streets.
All games were attended by
capacity crowds, according to the
reports brought back to Palmer.
T|he first women’s game was a
close one for Wright’s Girls, for
they trailed by seven points with
the final whistle just four min
utes away.
The second game was close all
the way, with the lead see-saw
ing back and forth between the
two squads. The Cordova offense
is built around the play of a
spectacular six-foot forward, and
teammates say Marian Barry did
a bang-up job of guarding her.
The Shamrocks won their
first game with ease, in a
clean, well-played basketball
game. The second game was
more football than basketball,
the boys complain. Half-time
score in that game was a 7-up
lie.
The Cordova teams are tenta
tively planning return games
with the Palmer squads later this
year. They hope to come to Pal
mer late in January or early in
February, but aren’t prepared tc
talk definite dates yet.
Meanwhile, Wright’s Girls will
keep the polish on their game
with a scheduled play-date in
Valdez on Jan. 2. The Shamrocks
will try next for a repeat victory
over the MP squad which they
defeated just before leaving for
Cordova. That game is scheduled
as a curtain-raiser before the
high school-Fifth Truck squad
encounter Dec. 27.

Pickles and relishes of Alas
ka’s garden vegetables make
popular additions to any holi
day dinnertable. The following
recipes have been prepared and
tested by Lydia Fohn-Hansen,
home demonstration leader in
the territory’s Extension Service.
Beet Relish
2 lb. cooked beets
1 c. grated horseradish
2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. celery seed
1 small cabbage
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 pt. or more vinegar
Put beets and cabbage through
food chopper and add rest of in
gredients. Do not cook. Seal.
Cabbage Kraut
Select only good sound heads
i of mature cabbage (a sweet
variety such as Cannon Ball)
fresh from the garden. Remove
outer leaves, cut in quarters, re
move the core.
Weigh carefully, allowing 40
to 50 pounds of cabbage and 1
lb. salt to a 5 gallon crock. Work
in portions of 5 lbs., allowing 2
oz., (3V2 tbsp.) salt to 5 lb. cab
bage.
Shred cabbage very fine with
a slow cutter or electric kraut
cutting attachment into a large
pan and mix evenly with 2 oz.
salt. Measure carefully, as too
much salt prevents fermentation.
Mix salt and cabbage with
hands or wooden spoon.
Tamp cabbage into the crock
firmly to draw out the juice. Re
peat until cabbage comes with
in 4 inches of top of crock and
juice covers cabbage. Place a
layer or two of clean white cloth
over the cabbage and tuck it
down around the edge.
Cover with a plate on lid and
place a weight on it to hold cab
bage under the brine. A jar
filled with water makes a good
weight. Set the crock in a fair
ly warm place—around 70 de
grees.
Remove scum and change
cloth every other day. Wash and
dry the cloth; wash the plate
and weight. The scum indicates
the presence of yeast that de
stroys the acid and discolors the
product.
Allow kraut to ferment 4
weeks if weather is cool; 2 weeks
if it is warm. Store the fer
mented kraut in a cold place
with cover weighted and it will
keep several months. Another
way to keep it is to pack in jars
and cover completely with brine
and seal. Store in a cool place
and it will keep for several
months.
Turnip Kraut
Select good turnips of purple
top variety. Wash well but do
not peel. Proceed as for cabbage
kraut.
