Let's Play Ball, Boys!
More boys are needed for base
ball teams, Jack Leek said this
week.
“We have several boys in both
age groups but to have effective
teams, we will need more”, he
said.
Wednesday night the 12-16 age
group went to Wasilla for games
with teams from that town. There
were not enough players without
using fill-ins.
All playing equipment except
gloves, is furnished by the Moose
organization, sponsors of the
teams. “All a boy needs is his
glove and the urge to play ball”,
Leek added. Pat Carter of Wa
silla, is rounding up another team
for competition.
Any boy who wants to play
baseball is urged to turn out at
the fairgrounds next Wednesday,
night for practice. Age groups are
8-12, Jack Leek, leader, and 12-16,
Bob Bettine, leader. Additional
adult help would be appreciated,
Leek said.
Come on, fellows, this is your
chance to really learn how to play
baseball!
The following merchants and
individuals have contributed to
the baseball fund, from which
equipment for the teams has been

OMSTAD FAMILY WILL
MAKE PALMER ‘HOME'
About a year ago the Martin
Omstad family, wife Malli, sons
Arne and Pjong, left Norway to
find a new home in the United
States. The family lived in Kirk
land, Wash., until four months
ago, when they decided to move
to Palmer, where Mr. Omstad had
SS®!!!
obtained employment as a car
penter.
The Omstads like Palmer so
well they are making plans to
build a permanent home here.
Mr. Omstad recently completed
remodelling the Palmer Food
Center for Mr. and Mrs. Nels
Stensland.
VOTE YES!
A sales tax is a fair way of financing
the City of Palmer. Of all taxes, a
sales tax is the cheapest and easiest
to collect. Why waste money on the
expensive business of assessing pri
vately owned property in Palmer?
