“Mary Moosettes”
To Appear In
Lodge Benefit Show
February 7 i5 the night!! That’s
what members of the Palmer
Moose Lodge and Women of the>
Moose announced this week. Plans
for a wonderful time have been
made and all members (and a
guest if they like) are urged to
attend.
The floor shows will be pre
->■ sented by the "Mary Mosettes”
with the first show scheduled to
start at 11:30 p.m. There will be
a cover charge of $2.00 per couple
but sandwiches and coffee will

. nouneed.
The object of the "fun night” is
to raise funds to cover the
POUND OF DIMES the organiza
tion presented to the March of
Dimes during the past drive.
MOOSE-CROSSING SIGNS
ASKED BY CHUGIAK FOLK
Chugiak residents have peti
tioned the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice to post “moose-crossing”
signs along the Glenn Highway
to save “human life, damage to
property and a valuable game re
source.”
Chugiak petitioners reported
they have observed regular routes
used by the moose and point to
the stateside practise where mo
torists are warned of deer and
livestock crossings.
Residents of the highway com
munity give motorists these tips
for survival if they drive along
moose-infested roads:
There’s little danger in the day
time. Moose move between the
hills of lowland feeding grounds
in the darkness hours. (2) Head
lights startle or enrage moose.
When you spot one on the road,
pull over to the side, if possible,
and turn the headlights off. The
moose will go on its way. (3)
Don’t "crowd” or herd a moose
with the car. This may be greal
sport, but sooner or later the
animal will turn and charge.

CONSERVATION
NOTES
By Lew E. Hanks
I was able to check some fields
for wind erosion before our latest
snowfall. The amount of erosion
damage was not as great as I ex
pected, but there was some. Any
: erosion on a farm is just that
; much soil lost forever. It puts
that old gravel subsoil just that
much closer. One-half to a quar
| ter inch lost may not mean much
this year but some day it will be
that amount that puts you down
fanning the rockpile., That is not
good.
;! Upon checking areas of erosion
, damage, I made some interesting
observations. Windbreak effec
; tiveness was limited. Protection
was limited to areas one to two
j hundred feet on the lee side; be
r: yond that there was some soil re
moval. Some unprotected areas
that had been in row crops blew
and some did not. Recently clear
ed fields that had been in row
, crops showed areas of soil blow
ing. Here is the consistent thing
we did observe. Every blow ares
appeared to be very lacking ir
organic matter. Old stumprou,
j land or land that had recently
been broken from sod showec
’ little evidence of damage,
t It is an axiom in the States tha
1 feritle. soils don’t wash. Mayb(
fertile soils which are soils higl
in active organic matter don’
0 blow either. Perhaps if we cai
__ practice some better soil manage
ment we can lick our erosion a
^ well as our fertilizer problems. Wi
„ don’t get the boost out of ou
fertilizers that farmers do in lot
of places. We don’t get the carry
over we would like.
,j Soil management is more thai
just dumping fertilizer on th
land and taking it off in one crop
y Soil management means gettin
h some active humus into the soi
We c&n do it by growing som
7 green manure crops or using
short-term grass like timothy in
rotation. If we work these crop
into the soil, our raw land wi

Benefit Show Enables
Church wrgan Purchase
The purchase of a Connsonata
electric organ for St. Michael’s
Catholic Church has been assured,
| by the very successful musical
benefit show held in the Valley
| Theatre, Tuesday, February 3.
i Starting at 7:30 the various acts
! were presented before a capacity
; house and repeated again at nine
; for those unable to attend the
| first showing. Don Medaris was
awarded a 15-iewel Benrus wrist
•J watch as 'door prize during the
evening. The organ used during
the program was loaned by Wil
liam Rempel.
Following the show, partici
pants and the committee were
entertained at a buffet lunch in
the recently completed church
basement.
The committee offered their
thanks to all who helped with the
program. They announced the or
der for the organ has been placed
and delivery assured for the very
near future.
JUNEAU—Persons undertaking
the purchase of an eating or
drinking place for which no ceil
ing price records are available are
advised to apply to the Office of
Price Stabilization to establish
their prices. O.P.S. regulations
provide that where an eating or
1 drinking establishment changes
1 hands, the previous owner must
; turn over to the new owner all
1 records necessary to price-control
• compliance. These records would
5 include menus, purchase invoices,
? guest checks and all other records
used in the regular course of busi*
5 ness. These are required by law to
be kept for a period of two years
1 It’s a good time to start figuring
5 out that rotation.
