PALMER SCOUTS
ENJOY CAMPOUT
On March 30-31, most of the
boys in the Palmer Boy Scout
Troop 54 went on an over
night campout. We camped in
the area between the Butte and
the Matanuska River. We re
gretted the fact that we had to
melt snow for water, until the
jeep brought us a good supply.
At the end of the first day,
we played “Steal the Flag" for
two hours. We were just about
to turn in, when a truck came
crawling into our camp. The
two boys in it said they came
for wood, but for some strange
reanson they left when they
heard that Stan Smith wasn’t
there.
The next morning we pack
ed. cleaned up, and left. There
were no injuries, and best of
all no indigestion from the us
ual “well done” food.
The boys who participated
were Ronald Smith, Steve
Metz, Victor Falk, James Wil
liams, Fred Luther, Brian
Jones, Brian Leckold, Steve
Hermon, Edward Bissett, Jack
Kogele, Lee Warner LeRoy
Ganschow, Mark Hodgson, and
Mike Reiger.
Mr. Kokes and Mr. Salisbury,
scoutmaster and assistant
scoutmaster, also attended.

VANDALISM CHARGE
Six broken windows at the
Palmer high school, with an es
! timated repair cost of $518.44.
j brought two local youths into
I deputy district magistrate’s
court here April 12.
The young men were appre
hended by Palmer police after
the damage was reported the
morning of March 22. The pa
trolman on duty during the
early morning hours had
checked the high school at
3:30 a.m., at which time no
windows were broken, but no
ticed a vehicle with two occu
pants in the vicinity about 4
a.m.
Checking out the license
number, police found the car
to be registered to Wayne
Klayum, who, after question
ing, admitted that he, together
with a companion, Douglas
Moffitt, had broken the win
dows. Both youths stated they
had been drinking.
The young men, charged
with defacing a public build
ing, agreed to pay the cost of
repairing the windows to the
school by May 1, and were fin
ed $300 apiece, with $200 of
each sentence suspended.
Trouble comes to everyone,
but the fellow who looks for it
gets more than his share.

PALMER SKIER SERVES ON ALPINE
SKI PATROL AT ALYESKA EVENTS
The Susitna Ski Patrol and
the Matanuska Valley Ski Club
were represented at the Na
tional Alpine ski events held
at Mt. Alyeska April 1-7. On
the Alaska Alpine Ski Patrol,
comprised of members of pa
trols from all over Alaska, was
James Meckel of Palmer. In
cluded in the patrol were skiers
from Juneau, Palmer, Kodiak,
Fairbanks, and Anchorage.
The Alpine Patrol’s main job
was to administer first aid and
safe transportation of injured
skiers, including the racers,
Meckel said. Highly competent
first aid and quick action were
mandatory, as racers were
traveling forty to sixty miles
an hour and only one minute
apart.
In addition to first aid, the
Alpine Patrol also provided
taxi service to ski-less news
men and photographers who
were covering the races.
Clear skies and warm weath
er added to the event's com
plete success. Meckel stated.
Although there were some
spectacular spills, there were
no critical injuries and the in
jured were brought off the hill
in only a few minutes to the
first-aid room where a doctor

The red-faced reporter admits

G. I. SENTENCED
IN ASSAULT CASE
A Fort Richardson soldier
was charged with assault and
battery by another G. I. in the
deputy District Magistrate’s
Court here last Friday.
Receiving a 10-day suspend
ed sentence was Donald Hebei,
who on April 5 visited a girl at
a Palmer residence. He was
asked to leave, but failed to do
so, local police said, and when
a car arrived at the residence,
driven by another Fort Rich
ardson G. I., Ronald Cushway,
Hebei rushed out and struck
Cushway.
A formal complaint of as
sault and battery was signed by
Cushway.

in school. If he knows some of
these teachings and how to an

equipped to defend his faith in
