VOL.6. PALMAR ALASKA.
• OCTOBER 29 1943 • ' F0.42.
The Seattle Time.s devoted a la.rg
part of •« r.ecent Sunday, issue to
praise for the Matanuska Valley,
several fine pictures,and articles
accompaning them. While some of th
statements were rather ambigous an
some figures given on the financia
setup were not quite correct, we
must admit that an editorial that
written later is most flattering.
To quote part, it said;
*' Pew of1 th® desperate projects
inagurated during the mad 'SO's
seemed more futile, or more doomed
to failure than the establishment
of the farm colonv in the Matanusk
Valley in Alaska.then how even
the Colinists were skeptical and
11 flow all that picture has changed
Thev Wat anus ka Colinist.s held on
through years, and b,a.d., And Matanu*
ska produced a million dollar crop
Then comes the confession;
" Some of us lr.ughnd_.nt Matanuska.
But now we must hand It to whoever
thought of~tfie idea, Iflntanuska was
the one preparation we rtade in tha
Territory, for.the events we refu
sed to see coming.
Laura B. Harney spent the summer
cf 1S37 in the hntnnuska Valley an
has been one of our interested
friends ever since. She writes fro
Mbunt Vernon N.Y.that she enjoys
reading the "Settler", which she" ha
taken since that time.,,
