. Patawr Haven Play
iacherae* Eagles
TWi Saturday
Lively band music, presented
by the Palmer High School band,
Will open the season’s first foot
twll fame in Palmer this Satur
day when the Anchorage Eagles
civne here for the first of two
games planned between the two
schools- The game will be play
ed at the fairgrounds.
Palmer will field their eleven
players in their new football uni
forms and equipment. Norman
Rousey, coach, said this week
that his team is in good shape
and ready to take on the Eagles.
Through a cooperative agree
ment, members of the Anchorage
playing team will consist of but
one first-string man, their quar
ter-back Jay Walker. This agree
ment was reached when it was
determined that the Anchorage
team, with a much larger choice
of material and many weeks of
practice, was not a fair match
for the smaller Palmer team, who
had had but little practice at that
time.
In a scrimmage game with the
Huntsville Hornets the Palmer
players showed well and could
give Anchorage quite a bit of
trouble. Twenty one players
turned out this year for the
Moose team and Rousey and
Cunningham have been putting
them through regular and fre
quent practice sessions.
The second game, planned for
October 8 at Anchorage, is ex
pected to see the first string
players from the Eagles team on
the field,

Committee Hears—
(Continued from Dage 1)
in writing. Lucille Mick, city |
councilwoman and vice-president
of the League of Alaska Cities
then submitted a statement she
had prepared on city needs; an
other statement from Charles W.
Wilson, MEA board member, was
submitted and a statement from
V. Louise Kellogg, valley farmer
also was submitted.
While preparations for the
luncheon were going on Alfred
Hagen and Neil Wright, both
Palmer businessmen, spoke to
members of the committee on the
abandonment of the use of coal
by the Alaska Railroad- Mr.
Wright pointed out that at one
time the Evan-Jones Coal mine
employed 275 men and that now
there are but about 35 employed.
He blamed this cut down on the
change from coal to oil by the
railroad. Both men emphasized
the need to help the Alaskan in
dustries, such as coal mining, by
using the products, and not help
ing the oil compahies of Califor
nia.
Harold Dinkle, Valley farmer,
presented himself for questioning
by the committee, as an average
farmer. The questions the com
mittee asked brought out that
Mr. Dinkle has a 240 acre farm
of which only 30 acres are under
cultivation. If lower cost loans
were available to Alaskan farm
ers they could expand and in
crease their acreage, he pointed
out. When asked by the commit
tee what he considered a reason
able rate of interest he replied
that he thought four percent was
reasonable. ‘‘Alaska needs a few
more cash crops, he said. “Right
now our principal crops are milk
and potatoes”. More roads would
permit grazing, he also pointed
out.
Statement required by the act of
