RANDOM RAMBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
New fiscal ’55-’56 fishing li
censes may be purchased by
those who can show a last year’s
Incense. Without one — you’ll
have to wait ’til July 1st—the
day fishermen HAVE to have
one. Commissioner May Carter
has a special on fishing licenses
$1.00; fishing and hunting—
$2.00; fishing, hunting and trap
ping—$3.00. Qualified' resident’s
prices quoted there. Territorial
stamps available, too.
Tom Hackeit, chief engineer
for ibe A.R.C. in Anchorage, as
sured Betty Roih (Green Acres)
that the surfacing of the road be
tween 4-corners and Wasilla will
be completed before the 4th of
July. Was told the contract calls
for completion by June thirtieth.
Another year was pushed “over
the bluff’’ by Betty LePors and
Jean Polis. Toasted frequently by
an impromptu gathering at the
Wasilla Bar—they got home in
time to milk the chickens.
There's place on the drive to
Payton's Point called “Helio
graph Hill"—a name earned in
the years past when a tower was
erected to flash messages (by
mirror) to another tower located
near the present Askin home—
about sixteen miles away out the
Fishhook Road (from Wasilla).
It was almost eleven when the
sun finally cast its settling shad
ows on Rocky Lake as we drove
home. The placid water was con
stantly being broken into rip
ples as trout surfaced in search
of careelss-flying bugs. This body
of water earned its name from
4he rocks, pebbles and sand on
the bottom. Would guess that, at
one time, it was a riverbed.
Visited with Betty Racca and
leaded that Clayt is at Goose
Bay operating a bulldozer. Goose
Bay is where oil drilling opera
tions are underway.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Olson and
daughter Ediane returned from
a trip to Fairbanks. They were
accompanied on their return by
&
Eric Olson who will spend a few
weeks wiih his grandparents.
"Cad" had Jack Minicb and Ben
ny Cottle erecting a new "mar
quee on . his ..roadhouse. -When
that was finished—they put a
new tarpaper roof on "Cad's"
garage.
Getting a waistline like Don
Eddy’s—the epicurean who does
his traveling seated in front of
a table—and writes about it. Ray
and Mary Bergman took my wife
and I out to Randall’s on Big
Lake. The hamburger steak was
superb — with toasted country
made bread. Gotta get there early
if you wanna rent a boat. Went
for a drive later to stir down the
dinner. As we drove to Payton’s
Point, we went thru a park and
picnic ground (with tables) made
by the Bureau of Land Manage
ment (Dept, of Int.). It was esti
mated that 8,000 cars were in
this area in a two-day period.
Mrs. Margaret Byers is librari
an while Colleen Teeland is
stateside as representative for
the Rainbow Girls. Mesdames
Ted Mommsen, Ernie Peck and
Paul LePors went into C. D.
headquarters with Walt Teeland.
They had passed security by the'
F.B.I. and were to have a look
at C.D’s Air Control. Pat Carter
was dragging his feet on the re
cently acquired 3-year old pony
—for the kids.
Accompanied by Girl Scout
Ediane Olson, Brownie Scouts
took in the activities at "Tooth
acres"—the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Sims. Those participating axe
Barbara Clarke, Janice Fleming,
Colleen Carter, Mary Line, Kathy
Coghlan, Donna Harvey, Ida Hj
ellen, Frieda Hulke, Judy Beits,

Clarke, Mrs. Martin Olson and

Are you a slave io a washboard and an old fashioned
tub? Well probably not but perhaps some of the ap
pliances that you are using are almost as antiquated
or maybe you are still doing your household chores
by hand.
The new, modern electrical appliances are such won
derful time and work savers. They work for you
more efficiently and do the job in much less time.
Let electricity do more of your work for you ... it
will save you effort, time and money too.

BARTLETT FORESEES
RESTORED FUNDS
FOR ARC AND APW
Delegate E. L. Bartlett yester
day forecast that Senate action
in restoring funds for Alaska pro
grams in the Interior Department
appropriation bill would be sus
tained when the bill goes to con
ference, probably this week.
Such action would bring the
Alaska Public Works appropia
tion up to the full budgetary re
quest of $5 million and the Al
aska Road Commission appropri
ation to $7 million, the amount
asked by the administration.
“Of course, we can never be
positively assured that the con
ferees will grant the money until
the conference report has been
made and accepted by both
houses of the Congress,” Bart
lett said. “However, I have had
assurances from sources which
convince me that the ARC and
the APW programs will now go
forward without interruption.”
The $5 million for APW is in- i
tended to be used for school
projects at Douglas, Homer, Tal- j
keetna, North Star and Ketchi- i
kan; a water project for Anchor
age; a 100-man dormitory for the
University of Alaska; a 30- to 40
bed hospital for Seward; a sew
er project for Wrangell; sewers
and streets for Cordova; streets
for Skagway, and an incinera
tor for Ketchikan.
