Xiwanis ‘Open Letter’
To Urge Payment of
All Hospital Bills
An open letter to the commu
nity urging the payment of out
standing bills due the Valley hos
pital was discussed as the current
project of the Kiwanis Club at
its regular luncheon meeting
Monday. The club is encouraging
all persons to pay any accounts
they may have at the hospital so
that an operating fund may be
built up. Only by building up an
operating fund can the hospital
become more solvent and better
equipped to efficiently serve the
community, club officer's pointed
out. The Kiwanis Club also voted
to enlist the aid of other local
civic and fraternal organizations
in the project by requesting them
to also endorse the open letter.
Also as part of its program to
aid in the needs of the hospital,
the purchase of a garbage disposal
unit for the hospital as a Kiwan
is Club project is being consid-j
ered. At the meeting Monday a
•committee appointed to investi-j
gate systems adequate for the ]
hospital is comprised of Johnj
Foster Sims and Dan Fleming.
Marvin Slaughter, chairman for
the current Community Chest
■drive, also gave a brief talk at
the meeting. Mr. Slaughter point
ed out that the Community Chest
has set up a Disaster and Wel
fare Council here to aid persons
•of the community who might find
'themselves in need. Any solici
x tions made by individuals for
d should be referred to the
Council as if persons who have
made contributions to the Chest
■continue to make other donations,
the purpose of the Council is be
ing defeated, Mr. Slaughter ex
plained. ' '

BASKETBALL—
(Continued from Page 1)
Geivvitz, 5 feet 9 inches and 16
years of age, played a lot of ball
with the Jay-Vees last year here
and shows a lot of promise as a
Moose basketeer. Bob Lasher
played on the Jay-Vee team last
year and is a very good shot. He
is 16 years old, a junior, and
stands 5 feet 9 inches.
Monte Larsh has had no ex
perience on the H. S. five but was
on the team from Wasilla last
winter that won the hearts of the
fans at the Kiwanis - sponsored 1
tournament. This scrappy little
guard is 15 years old, a Sopho
more, and measures 5 feet 4
inches. Bob Harris is a transfer
from Youngstown, Ohio, and has
not had any previous experience
on the hardwood courts. He is
currently playing guard and is
5 feet 8 inches tall and is 17 years
of age.
Jack McKechnie is another
sophomore addition to the team.
He hasn’t had much experience
but shows a lot of promise at
guard. He is 5 feet 5 inches tall
and is 15 years of age.
This squad will probably be the
greenest and also the shortest
team that Palmer has known but
they have really been working
to get up to par, Coach Crites said.
To make up for lack of height,
Coach Crites will rely mostly on
scrap, speed and good defense.
The Matanuska Hotel team was
formerly known as the Indepen
dents. Dale Roetman is manager
again this year but as yet no
coach has been elected, although
Roetman will probably assume
this position. Several players
from last year were numbered
among the 13 that turned out this
year and the team had its second
practice Thursday night.
The lineup includes Dale Roet
man, Lee Young, Rex Hardage,
jimmy Lrieason, vugn lYiccumi,
Earl Onkka, Darrl McKechnxe,
Charles DeWitt, Bert Stewart,
Orin Tess, Mel Munson, Walter
and Harold Bendixson.
New Electric Scoreboard to
Go Into Operation Tonight
Another added attraction at the
game will be Palmer’s new elec
tric scoreboard. The scoreboard,
which the Kiwanis Club bought
for the school, was installed Wed
nesday and will be used for the
first time at tonight’s games.
NORTH PALMER WATER
(Continued from Page 1)
time either to put down pumps in
old wells or drill wells to augment
the supply. A chlorinator system
also will be installed by the Co
Op for the purification of the
water, he said. .
The present system, which
was originally planned for a
small settlement, is inadequate
for the continually growing
community, Mr. Rasmussen
pointed out. With the work
done last year the supply was
increased from ISO gallons per
minute to 225 gallons per min
ute, "which still is not enough,"
he said.
William Head, member of the
Chamber, also spoke briefly on
the water situation.
