Matanuska Valley
Breeders’Assn. News
(This column is devoted to al]
news pertaining to the promotion
of the dairy industry of the Val
ley.)
By ERNEST H. HARRINGTON
President
IN THE February issue of the
Reader’s Digest there is a con
densation of the best seller called
“The Road Ahead” in which the
writer, John T. Flynn, voices a
warning to the citizens of the
United States on the treacherous
road we have been following po
litically.
It is a belated warning to all
of us. It is as important to us
here in the Valley as to anyone,
to know these facts and to do
something about them right now.
What hurts is the fact that prac
tically all of us are guilty of aid
ing i nthe growth of this political
monster. But the fact remains
that every one or fus ca ndo a
great deal i ncorrecting the wrong
that has already been done.
We ca nbest do that by ques
tioning and by doing all in our
power to combat all operations
which come under the heading of
socialistic government operations,
which so often offer us “benefits”
in a very beguiling manner, mak
ing it very difficult to turn a deaf
ear to thei rsupplications and
harder still to do something about
their downfall.
WE OF THE dairy industry of
this Valley can be a decisive fac
tor in shaping the policies of our
own area. And if we are that,
there is no doubt our actions here

must be completed before July 1
of this year.

will have some effect on the pol
icy-making of the government of
Alaska.
Now that we are beginning to
feel the effects of the disastrous
operations of socialism, it is high
time that we wake up and do
something to insure the well be
ing of an industry which is, and
will be, second to none here.
MARCH 13 is the date of our
next monthly meeting. We hope
to see you all there, to help finish
the business which could not be
carried through at our last meet- j
ing, because of bad weather. |
