Lois H. Allen, being duly sworn, says:
At no time since May 29,1942, when she
became editor of the Valley Settler, has
Mr. Stock or any member of the Board of
Directors of the Matanuska Valley Farmers
Cooperating Association, forbidden publi
cation of any article whatever, in the
Valley Settler.
She further deposes that she, as editor,
has never refused to publish any article
offered for printing in the Valley Settle:
In the matter of the Health Council arti
cle over which Mrs. Johnson has made so
much trouble, the editor argued with Mrs.
Johnson that the copy came in too late(a
round noon on Friday); that there was not
room for it in the paper since it was al
most a page of copy; and, Mrs. Johnson
having stated that the same copy had been
sent to the Board of Directors which was
meeting that Friday evening to decide and
act upon the hospital matter, that the
Settler would not be out until after the
Board was in session. Thereupon Mrs.
Johnson seemed to agree very amiably that
the article need not be printed.

We pointed out to Mrs. Johnson after
she returned from Court in Anchorage,thut
she had sworn falsely on the witness stand
when she stated that "an article directed
to Association members urging their active
participation in Association affairs was
submitted to l!r. Stock for publication and
that he refused to have it published."
We told her that if she persisted in
making that statement we should have to
"take steps#" The affidavit above is our
"steps#"
(Glen Highway - Continued from page 1).
After the road leaves Lila Lake it follows
along thru a lovely pass. We had an
excellent view of Tazlina Lake and of the
Wrangell mountain range. Mt. Wrangell,
more than 14,000 feet high, we could
plainly see in all its grandeur. There
are no steep climbs from Lila Lake to the
Richardson Highway. The road for 40
miles this way from Gulkana is very fine
indeed."
Still and all, Mr. Koslosky doesn't
recommend thr. trip from Palmer to Fair
banks in loss than a perfect car carrying
plenty of gas and a machine shop. ."We
had car trouble coming back," he said,
"and scared ourselves to death lest we
would be unable to fix tings." There
are not, of course, at the present time
any gas stations or repair shops along
the highway.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Matanuska
Valley Farmers Cooperating Association on
September 28, 1942, a special meeting of
the stockholders of the Matanuska Valley
Farmers Cooperating Association is hereby
called at 8:00 p. m. November 3, 1942, in
the Community Hall at Palmer, Alaska, for
'the purpose of considering charges filed
by petition against Harold Dinkel, C. C.
Brix, Elmer LeDuc, Donald Parks, Roland
Snodgrass, Frank McAllister, Frank Clark,
as Board Members of the Matanuska Valley
Farmers Cooperating Association, to vote
on whether said members of the Board of
Directors should be recalled, and if neces
sary, to elect new Directors to fill the
vacancies created by such a recall.
This will be a closed meeting, open
only to stockholders, members of their
families, and department heads.

Secretary-Treasurer of the Board
With the storing of your vegetables and
foodstuffs for the winter, it is now time
to think about your garden seeds for 1943,
suggosts the 2xtension Agent, With the
uncertainty in transportation, every farn
er should make up a list of the garden
seeds that will be needed fdr the next
year's crop immediately. Some garden
seeds will*be difficult to get due to the
demand under tho lend-lea3e program. In
some instances during this past season,
old garden seeds were used to fill orders.
Also a number of varieties wore mixed and
sold in the sane packages. With the in
creased wage scale, there will undoubtedly
be an increase in the price of garden seed.
