CIVIL DEFENSE—
(Continued from Page 1)
further attempt to organize vol
unteers for that job.
James Wilson of the Matanuska
Valley Farmers Co-Operating As
sociation reported that Palmer
could be supplied with water for
emergency use, although not for
firefighting, even if the storage
tank were destroyed. A direct
flow will fill the mains in suffi
cient quantity for drinking pur
poses.
It was strongly urged that all
families avoid large quantity pur
chases of commodities likely to be
scarce. However it was recom
mended that everyone stock
enough food for a normal week’s
supply.
Further plans for Palmer’s civil
defense will be developed at a
meeting to be held next Monday
evening in Palmer School at eight
o’clock. Mr. Huntley urged that
everyone interested in prepara
tions for the town’s defense be
present at these meetings. Com
mittee heads will need workers to
carry out assigned tasks, he said.
Also, he feels that more effective
planning can be derived from a
group than from a few individ
uals. He needs the ideas of ev
eryone, he explained, in order
that Palmer may have the best
possible defense program.

beard members still hope to have
the annex ready for use soon
after the fall term opens in Sep
tember. Since no basement is
planned, they expect construction
to be speedy.
Miss Priestley Visits Rakers
Miss Georgia Priestley of Glen
dale, Calif., cousin of Mrs. John
Raker of Palmer, arrived here
last Thursday after a two weeks’
trip through the Interior. She
visited Fort Yukon, Fairbanks
and Mt. McKinley Park before
coming here to be a houseguest
of the Rakers for a time.
HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS
(Continued from Page 1)
cident were Sgt. and Mrs. Ray
mond Hudspeth and their two
children, Raymond and Ramona,
and Cpl. William C. Butts. Most
seriously injured was Mrs. Huds
peth. She fractured a collarbone
in several places. Sergeant Huds
peth fractured a rib and Corporal
Butts had severe scratches and
bruises. One of the children
bumped a nose, but they were
otherwise uninjured.
Since there were no beds for
these last patients, a hurry call
dispatched four Fort Richardson
ambulances for them.
The Jonesville accident occurred
when a large lump of coal fell on
Andrew Hiner. The miner suf
fered a fractured vertebra. He is
hospitalized in the Valley Hos
pital and is recovering nicely, Dr.
Bailey said.
