Air Scout Encampment
To Be on Post in Aug.
This year’s annual Alaskan en-;
campment for Air Scouts will be
held at Fort Richardson from
Aug. 6 to 12, it was announced
from Juneau Scout headquarters
this week. The August dates were
selected in order to allow territo
rial Scouts time to return from
the national jamboree at Valley
Forge.
The encampment is staged un-!
der the general sponsorship of
.^e Air Force. A‘program for Ex
plorer Scouts, which will include
Explorers in troops, Sea Scout I
ships. Air Scout squadrons and |
regular Explorer posts, is being j
worked out now by Scout council j
headquarters and the Air Force. !
WASILLA WOMEN,
HIGH SCHOOL FIVE
PLAY 22-POINT TIE
WASILLA—The challenge bat
tle between the town’s women
and high school basketball teams
ended even up, at the March 11 :
g£me. When the final whistle;
blew, the town women had chalk
ed up 22 points, and the high
school girls had rolled in an equal
22 tallies.
Since women’s basketball rules;
do not permit a play-off in an1
overtime period, that’s the way
the matter ended. But neither i
team is satisfied with the result, ;
so there’ll be a repeat game;
scheduled for the evening of
March 25.
It was explained that the two
weeks' lapse in time was to per
rnit a general recovery'from sun
dry. ibruises and muscle aches, as’
well as to allow some concentrat
ed practice periods.
Following the play-off game,
the evening will conclude with a
community dance. j

Breeders’ Assn. News
(This column is devoted to all
news pertaining to the promotion
of the dairy industry of the Val
ley)
By ERNEST H. HARRINGTON
President
AT OUR regular meeting last
Monday, the dairymen participat
ed with the veterans’ farm class
of Eugene Kirsch in attending a
lecture by Ivan Branton on farm
construction. In his talk, Mr.
Branton stressed the advisability
of firmly constructed barns to
withstand the higj| winds of the
Valley and also outlined methods
of insulating walls, to prevent es
caping barn moisture from con
densing and freezing, thus weak
ening and deteriorating the walls.
After the lecture, the dairymen
adjourned to the Extension Office,
where we dispatched our regular
.
business.
L. M. DePRIEST was elected to
the board of directors to serve a
term of three years. Leland Grov
er. Mr. DePriest and Henry Bauer
volunteered to help on the fair
committee this year. Miss Louise
Kellogg said she would continue
to serve on this committee.
We would appreciate any and
all help from the members to
make our exhibition at this year’s
fair really good.
HAROLD THUMA stated that
we should try to improve the ad
vertising of our industry, espe
cially for the fair, even if it in
volves extra expense to the mem
bers. I am highly in favor of his
idea, because we certainly are not
i doing what we should along this
j line.
Let’s all turn out at the next
meeting, to be held April 10, to
! discuss ways and means for our
fair program.
