DEATH MISSES THREE
WHEN BOAT UPSETS
Three small children narrowly
escaped drowning in Finger Lake
; last week, when the motorboat in
I which they were riding over
turned. The three, Suzanne and
Patricia Black and a small guest
1 from Anchorage, were plunged
into the lake by the accident.
Mr. Black, operating the boat,
believes the craft hit a submerged
: snag. He and the three children
were thrown into the water, and
1 it was only Mr. Black’s swimming
strength which prevented a trag
edy.
Only one of the children, Pa
> tricia, was able to swim. Mr.
Black attempted to lift the chil
dren to the safety of the boat hull,
. but was forced to dive several
L times, when they kept sliding
back into the water.
However he finally pulled all
three to safety, and none of the
trio, nor their rescuer, suffered
any ill effects from their unex
pected dip.
Vegetable Grading
School to Be Featured
At Coming Valley Fair
A vegetable grading school will
be conducted at the Matanuska
Valley Fair this fall, it was an
nounced this week by Clyde
Sherman, commissioner of agri
culture. The school is planned in
order to give farmers and mer
chants experience in producing
and selling vegetables according
to grade.
A licensed inspector from the
states will conduct the school. He
will come north from Seattle for
the fair. Prior to his coming, he
will inspect Seattle produce be
ing shipped north, in order to fa
miliarize himself with the grades
best suited to Alaskan demands.
Agricultural officials have long
felt that the production and mar
keting of properly graded vege
tables would greatly increase the
demand for locally grown pro
duce.

Army, Navy Planes
Haul Tons of Food
To Hungry Scientists
It took both the Army and the
Navy to furnish a summer’s sup
plies to the scientific party camp
ing atop the Juneau ice field. A
total of 14 tons of food and equip
ment was landed near the site of
the base camp set up by an ad
vance party of three.
The Army specialized in ski
plane landings on the airstrip
roughed out on the glacier, and
flew in many of the scientists who
will conduct the season’s study.
The Navy dropped the supplies
it carried, which included a pre
fabricated hut and ice-drilling
equipment. Fourteen camps will
be established over the approxi
mately 500 square miles of sur
face of the ice field.
