PLAN HAM DINNER
Plans are now underway for
the Lutheran Ladies Aid annual
ham dinner, according to an an
nouncement made this week. The
popular mid-winter affair will be

ruary 17 in St. John’s Lutheran
Church basement.

The only thing that stops a lot
of youngsters from going to col
lege is high school.
Took Alice, our No. 4 child, to
see A. O. Rogers in Anchorage—
the man who makes orthopedic
appliances. Alice had her leg
brace adjusted and had an arm
and hand “gidget” fitted. I’ve
seen Mr. Rogers a number of
times—but I learned on my last
call that he walked with an arti
ficial right leg. He had lost part
of his leg in his youth, and be
cause of lack of money and nor
mal growth—wasn’t always able
to afford a leg that fitted—and
he had to move on crutches. He
vowed that when he grew up,
he’d make a leg that fit and thus
enlarged into his present occu
pation. Look in the window of his
place on Fifth Avenue and see
the miracles he performs for those
who have lost hands, arms, feet
and legs. Youngsters are able to
walk, run and play. The March of
Dimes is now conducting a drive
for funds. The next child stricken
may be in your family.
The Primary grades, 1, 2, and
3 of the Valley Christian School
were into our post office as part
of art educational tour. Teacher,

With Exercise Snowbird under
way in Alaska Jan. 13 to Feb. 13
for intensive joint training of
Army and Air Force units under
sub-Arctic conditions, tempera
tures as low as minus 50 are an
ticipated. Alaska’s Exercise North
Star last February was consider
ed unique in that extremely cold
temperatures were present thr
oughout the period. Temperatures
remained in a range of minus 13
and minus 45. Available Army
records in Alaska indicated that
never before had U. S. Army
troops participated in maneuvers
or combat operations under such
conditions.
