WASILLA JUNIORS
TROUNCE PALMER
Wasilla snatched a pair of base
i ball games this week and last,
and now is leading the Palmer
juniors in the current series, by
one game. Wasilla took last
Wednesday evening’s game by a
score of 7 to 4.
The Wednesday game is the
final evening game scheduled this
season. Darkness comes too early
now to finish a baseball game
that commences at six p. m.
Wednesday’s battle had to be
called at the last of the fourth in
ning, because of darkness.
The two towns are scheduling
the weekly junior event on Sun
day for the remainder of the sum
mer. The first of the afternoon
series is planned for next Sunday,
Aug. 20, at 2:30 p.m., according
to Pat Carter, Wasilla coach.
All Valley folk are invited to
attend these games. There is no
admission charge.

Thermometer Goes Up,
Then Down—But Oh,
So Very Pleasantly
Palmer ... thermometers have
dipped and swelled, alternately
in an average 30-degree extreme,
in the past 10 days, to bring one
of the most welcome summer sea
sons ever known to the Matanus
ka Valley. On two occasions the
daytime temperatures tipped 80
degrees during the current warm
spell. However nightfall brings
a brisk coolness, with the low of
the 10-day warm period dropping
to 40 degrees.
Complete records for the pe
riod, as reported by Mrs. Oscar
Beylund, Valley weather observ
er, read as follows:

Farming Is Business
And Must Be Licensed,
Tax Collector States
Farmers, too, must pay the
Alaska business license fee, M. M.
Moore, deputy tax collector, an
nounced here today. Mr. Moore
said that although farmers ap
parently do not understand this
section of the business license act
passed by the last legislature,
they must pay the license fee of
$25 (applicable to all gross re
ceipts up to $20,000).
The tax was due on Jan. 1,
1950, and is now six months de
linquent.
Mr. Moore is spending today in
the Valley, where he is calling on
representative farmers to explain
| the license tax provision to them,
and to assist them in filling out
the required forms applying for
the license. He will be here today
on this visit.
Also, license application forms
will be mailed to all Valley farm
ers. Everyone is urged to fill out
the forms immediately and re
turn them to Dorothy Saxton,
U. S. Commissioner here. Mrs.
Saxton also will be glad to fur
ther advise farmers and Valley
businessmen on detailed points
