BOYS & GIRLS CAMP i.T KINGS LAKE
About seventy girls end boys fron
Anchorage are enjoying a vacation
at Kings Lake this week, under the
supervision of Miss Zimmerman and f
Miss Stephenson. •
The Camps were orginized under thd
direction of the Extension Service
and will afford a very fine outing !
for boys and girls at a very modcr** .
ate cost. 1
From the enormous amount of food !
sent cut to camp we must believe
that the children will be well fed.
Two large busses brot the child
ren ever from Anchorage and it seems
that the Sardine canners might be
able to gc t some improved methods of
crowding more in the can, if they
had been around to see the loads. i
For the first time, in a long timofi
the local Extension Office was I
unable to get their nev;s written up :
ror publication, however we expect t
h■> have plenty of news next week.
Since it has been raining this
la3t week it reminds us that we once
promised Mis Zimmerman to give her
a. certain article of clothing, that
would be of considerable assistance
in running around in camp in the
rain, when we got through with them.
So if she will remind us soon they
will bo brot to ber. ___
LUMBER INDUSTRY IMPROVING.
Luring the Inst few years several
saw mills have been established in
the Valley and one or tv/o have been
in operation off and on, most of the
time, however the high cost of labor
and. poor prices for lumber has not
made the business very profitable.
Lets of lumber has been shipped in
from the Panhandle of Alaska end
Seattle, it was hard to compete
with the outside products.
Now since the shipping costs have
risen so high and lumber prices have
been raised,it appears that there
should be a profit In the production
of lumber products for a while.
Several sawmills are operating now
and there is a brisk demand for
lumber, The Co-Op. has started to
assemble a mill near the Civic Center
anr’ will do custom work as soon as
the mill can be completed. Lots of
fairly good logs have boon wasted
In the past that would be valuable
now. But from now on we will need a
lot more lumber, so save your logs
and make lumber out of them.
