This paper is issued for the pur
pose of giving information and
news of the Matnnuskr Valley
Farmer's Ocopefr.ting Association's
work, problems, accomplishment;!,
and also, news of local and gen
eral interest; and to heli foster
the cooperative spirit of the
farmers of the Mat anus lea Valley.
It has boon tilscovered and
brought to our attention that
certain individuals from the
Matanuska Valley have gone to
V/iilev; Crook to fish and gone
av/ay leaving the camp site in
an unsightly condition, with tho
r mains of their fish catch
strewn afcouf thc -grounds.
Also, our attention has been
called to the fact that, certain
individuals have gene o\it into
the hills and killed boar and
gone av/ay leaving the entire
carcass, much to the consternation
of the grevio warder., whose duty
it is to* report these things.
The particular camp ^rounds
and fishing hole mentioned arc
rriv-.tcly owned property, which
fact.may or may -not be generally
known. ’ ....
Thi3 if merely r.n cipper.it to the
general public of the Matnnuska
Vplloy to rtsfc-ct the rights of
property owners at or near
picnic ground's.' that is just as
easy to leave the place in good
qondit&on as 'it is to demolish
the place. The individual who
has pride enough in his community
and its appearance will-observe
all rules and rights of ownership.
Also, the pebsbn who cares about
the preservation of wild game
will not thoughtlessly kill for
tho more sport of killing, we
won't say'fun', for there is no
fun in this sort of idle dis
truction. It xiiight he wise to
consider the game laws of Alaska,,
when out on a jambordry tc kill
wild game in tho hills.
'While on tho subject of the dis
traction of property, wo wish to
call your .attention to the fact
that during tho past few days
som.u one has drove sticks into
the water fountain so tight it
was necessary to use force to
remove thorn. It is suspected
that some children have done this
while playing at the fountain.
Nevertheless if it happens again
tho water fountain will bo taken
away, all because of carlessnoss.
Children should bo instructed
of the damage they are doing by
putting sticks into tho fountain.
V/o arc asking for your support
in these matters and feel sure
the civic pride of every individ
ual in this community will rebel
at tho oversight which causer
thin distruction of proPorty.
