Fair Book's Wrong;
Fails to List Class
For Homemakers' Booth
Through error, the 1950 pre
mium book of the Matanuska Val
ley Fair carries no class listing
the competitive booth event for
the Valley’s homemakers’ clubs.
However that class has been
scheduled, and an entire Quonset
hut has been set aside for these
booths.
Fair board secretary A1 Hagen
mas promised that the correction
will be made in a program to be
issued just prior to fair d&tes.
Money prizes are offered for the
top three booths in the competi
tion.

^Sourdough of '96
Dies in Seward Hospital
Albert P. “Pack” Olsen died at
the Seward General Hospital re
cently, the victim of a stroke. Mr.
Olsen was 83 years old. The long
time Alaskan sourdough is be
lieved to have come to the Ter
ritory about 1896. He worked at
prospecting and mining, but was
best known as a dog team packer.
" Mr. Olsen never married, and
is believed to have left no rela
tives. He came to Seward in the
early 1920s, where he built a cab
in on the Seward-Moose Pass
highway. He still was living in
the cabin at the time of his death.
The cows give more milk—the hogs
and beef put on weight faster—the

toilets—the comforts of bath rooms—

JUNEAU'S TAKU LODGE
IPUTS GUESTS TO WORK
| TO CUT STAFF EXPENSE
Juneau’s Taku Lodge, ordinari
ly riding the crest of the tourist
wave at this season of the year,
has been so hard hit by cancella
tions because of the Korean situ
ation that the management almost
locked the doors of the establish
ment, earlier this month. How
ever they’ve come up with a bet
ter idea—one that will serve to
keep the lodge open and at the
same time will enable Juneau-ites
and other Alaskans to enjoy the
outdoor recreation offered at
Taku Lodge.
The staff at the lodge was
greatly curtailed. (The manage
ment kept the chef, though.) Now
all interested guests are asked to
help with the housekeeping. They
just do a chore or two of home
work before they set out for a
day’s fishing or hiking.
