First Queen Entry
(Continued From Page 1)
mer windows later this week.
On Saturday it is planned to
feature the queen contestant in
the weekly fair broadcast, to be
heard over radio station KFQD
at 12:15. Lavon will be inter
viewed by Ken Laughlin, sta
tion manager.
Valley residents who want a
real-life view of the queen
choice of Palmer Photo Art and
Palmer Cold Storage will find
Lavon behind the counters of
the Cold Storage almost any
day. She is the niece of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Ryan, plant owners.
Mr. Dillon said he had re
ceived queries from several other
interested contestants and spon
sors. He expects to be able to an
nounce the candidacy of other
Matanuska Valley girls by next
week.
Anyone who wishes to enter
cither the talent or beauty con
test, and who does not have a
sponsor, or a business firm who
wishes to sponsor an entrant
but does not have a candidate,
should call Mr. Dillon. He’s at
tempting to keep a supply of
both sponsors and contestants in
hand.
Mr. and Mrs. William Johnke
became the parents of a daugh
ter last week. The tiny girl, who
weighed only four pounds, one
ounce at birth, was born at the
Valley Hospital on June 8.

Staking Begins
On ARA Lab
Contract details for the con
struction of the laboratory of
the Agricultural Research Ad
ministration were cleared up in
Washington, D. C., late last week
and work began at the Palmer
site of the building last Monday.
C. W. Hufeisen of Anchorage is
contractor.
Don Irwin, head of the ARA,
who returned from Washington
last Sunday, said the work will
be pushed with all possible
speed. It is his hope that ex
cavating can begin late this
week. Cement and lumber are
already in Palmer.
Workmen on the laboratory
will be hired locally, as far as
I
possible, the contractor has
promised. Only when local men
cannot fulfill the qualifications
necessary to the work will em
ployes be brought from Anchor
age.
Funds now are available for
the construction of greenhouses,
an experimental vegetable stor
age building and housing for
employes, Mr. Irwin said. It is
expected that construction on all
of these buildings will begin
during the current building sea
son.
