Milk Prices Stay
Same Next Year,
USDA Forecasts
The United States Department
of Agriculture says that dairy
outlook for 1948, as far as de
mand, production and prices are
concerned, will be about the
same as for the past year. The
department expects consumer in
comes to stay high and the con
sumption of fluid milk and
cream to remain near ’47 levels.
It is not believed that there
will be sufficient export of dairy
products to cause any significant1
change in prices. Milk produc
tion is expected to stay up de
spite smaller feed supplies than
this year’s.
Fire Association
Meets Tuesday
A general meeting of the Ma
tanuska Valley Volunteer Fire
man’s Association has been called
for next Tuesday, by board chair
man A1 Hagen. This meeting is
open to all members, former
members and to all interested
residents of the community. It
will be held in the American
Legion clubrooms at 8 o’clock.
It is the wish of Association
board members to discuss with
Valley residents needed fire pro
tection measures for the coming
winter months. It has been point
ed out that the planned program
of The Alaska Railroad probably
will not begin in Palmer for at
at least another six months.
Some planning must provide fire
protection in the interim period.

Students Stage Send-Off
For Basketball Squad
Students of Palmer high school
gave members of the basketball;
team a royal send-off last Tues-'
day evening. The team left Wed
nesday by train for Seward, for
a two-game basketball series,
that opens interscholastic compe
tition for the season.
Organized by members of the
student council, high school pu
pils met in the square before
the school building late Tuesday
evening, to circle in a snake
dance through the streets of
Palmer.
They returned to the square
for a student council-financed
wiener roast and rally. Cold
weather gave zest to the war
dance through town, but nipped
enthusiasm for any outdoor pic
nicking. Students soon adjourned
to the school cafeteria to end the
, evening with an impromptu
dance.
