Pool Table Added
To Sportsmen’s
Rifle Range Rooms
The Matanuska Valley Sports
men’s Club has installed a pool
table in their club rooms and
indoor rifle range in the base
men of the Rec Club house at
Palmer.
While the balls click merrily,
other members of the club are
practicing for the free rifle match
es coming up with Anchorage
during April, May and June,
based on the rules for interna
tional competition.
This is the first step for choos
ing members for the internation
al match games which will be
held in the States. And it is the
first year the rules have allowed
Alaskan competitors to use the
same type of equipment as teams
from outside.
The Matanuska Valley, as the
center of the big game district,
expects to set some records in
that international meet.
STRAP MOTOR REGISTRATION
ON STEERING WHEEL POST
The Highway Patrol requests
that motorists attach their auto
license receipts to the steering
wheel post of their vehicle. New
law requiring this goes into effect
January, 1952, Stanley Laird said.
Meanwhile, cooperation on fitting
a tag with the license will save
time and confusion.
Evening Craft Club will meet
at the home of Agnes Zaborac,
April 10, in the evening.

By E. H. HARRINGTON, Pres.
We had a good turnout at our
April 3 meeting. Don Irwin led a
very interesting discussion on
grasses, especially those best
adapted to the Matanuska Valley.
We also were given information
on glass silos. Although quite
costly, I believe they are worth
it when one considers the labor
saved, spoilage done away with,
and the freezing problem, also
seems to be taken care of. Then,
too, you can fill as little or as
Our next meeting is at the Ex
perimental Farm, June 5 at 8 p.
much as you want at any time,
m., when there will be a review
of livestock and equipment at
the Station, and a talk by Lloyd
Moreley on construction accord
ing to sanitation requirements.
Telephone Controversy
We have been quite interested
in the telephone controversy
inasmuch‘as a good telephone
system here will help develop our
artificial insemination program.
It seems that the unanimous
opinion of the dairymen is that
the present organization should
get our backing rather than acti
vate new concerns which would
be in direct competition to the
firm already operating. The plan
is to call a meeting soon of all
parties interested in backing and
reorganizing the present tele
phone setup.
We are in urgent need of good
telephone service. So let’s all get
together to take care of this need
without bringing upon ourselves
more governmental control.

GOVERNOR CALLS
ALL OUT SUPPORT
FOR RED CROSS
Launching the Red Cross drive,
Gov. Ernest Gruening has issued a
challenging message to chairmen

Alaska. In Palmer, William
Bouwens has called a preliminary
campaign meeting to perfect a
whirl-wind drive in this area.
Said Governor Gruening:
“The Territory of Alaska has
always responded to the demands
made upon it during great nation
al emergencies. Ever increasing
numbers of our young men and
women are now entering the na

well represented on the battle
fields of Korea. We on the home
front can’t let them down
Through our support of the
American Red Cross we shall
