PALMER HIGH WIHS
FIRST BASKETBALL
GAME 46-35
A good game of basketball was
witnessed by a near capacity
house Friday night when the
Palmer High School- team open
ed their season with a game play
ed against the 333rd Reconnais
sance team. Starting for Palmer
were Larsh, Brown, Ross, Hem
mer and Winegarner.
A little slow in scoring, the
Moose were two points behind at
the end of the first quarter but
had it tied up at 16-16 by half
time. The 333rd’s high-reaching
center Fuchs proved to be a dif
ficult man to cover and account
ed for 16 of his team’s points dur
ing the evening.
Toward the last of the fourth
quarter the Moose drew ahead
with accurate shooting and end
ed the game at 46-35. High scorer
for the Palmer team was Ross
with twelve points.
The team is still green in spots,
Coach Crites said following the
game, but they are playing to
gether and that means a lot.
After the game tomorrow night
when we meet the 39th Air De
pot Wing team we will be better
able to predict what kind of a
team we’ll have, he said.
Wednesday night Anchorage
High School met the 39th, Air
Depot team. With six weeks of
practice against Palmer’s three
weeks, the December 6 game
schduled between Palmer and
Anchorage should be a good one.
The game will be played at An
chorage.

score of November 14 game:

4 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
VISIT MINES; POWER
PROJECT ON LOCAL VISIT
While visiting in the Palmer
area last week, four University
of Alaska mining students paid
visits to the Jonesville Coal Mine,
the Eklutna power project and
attended the meeting of the Ter
ritorial Advisory Committee on
mining.
November 13 was spent as
guests of the coal mine where
students were shown under
ground operations and the sur
face plant. The following day the
group attended the Territorial
meeting and later visited the
Bureau of Mines office and the
Conservation Division of the U. S.
G. S.
Saturday found the students as
guests of the BureaU'of Reclama
tion and the Palmer Constructors
where they were shown the en
tire Eklutna project.
A non-credit field trip of this
type is part of the required work
for the mining course and is made
possible through the coopera
tion and generosity of officials in
charge of operations visited. The
staff and students of the School
of Mines offered their apprecia
tion to all who made the trip a
successful one.
ALASKA DEVELOPMENT
BOARD TELLS OF
ALCOA PROGRESS
George Sundborg, general
manager of the Alaska Develop
ment Board, appearing before
a large group in Fairbanks last
week elaborated on plans being
made for the big ALCOA devel
opment projected for Skagway.
Sundborg confirmed earlier
statements by ALCOA officials
that the total investment in the
big development, which will take
five years to build, will be $400,
000,000, he said.
The ADB man said that infor
mal negotiations are being con
ducted by company officials with
Canadian water power and the
acquisition of Canadian land for
the building of dams, tunnels and
other facilities for the plant. Ne
gotiations are also being con
ducted with the U. S. government
for the acquisition of the 20,000
acres of land in the Taiya on
which it is proposed to locate the
plant.
Sundborg went into detail as to
the effect the huge development
CONSERVATION
NOTES
The weather has been pretty
mild for this time of year. There
is still time to protect those spud
fields by windrowing some brush
piles across the fields. Anything
that will catch the snow will pro
tect that much.
Now is also a good time to do
some work on your woodland
areas. A well managed woodland
will produce almost as much good
timber per acre as can be pro
duced in the States. At present
birch doesn’t have much market
value as saw logs but that is sure
to change. One of these days
someone is going to get wise and
invest some money in a dry kiln
and birch processing plant. Birch
makes beautiful flooring, furni
ture and trim. It is also used in
the States for a great many turn
ed articles. I am sure that before
long birch saw logs will be in
greater demand than spruce.
You can start in now, improv
ing your woodlands. Management
practices are simple. First keep
the stock out. The second thing to
do is cut the old mature or poor
shaped trees and give the young
trees space to grow. The growth
rate increases greatly when a
proper thinning job is done. After
a wood lot is cleared and in prop
er shape the idea is to cut the
large trees as they mature on a
continuous basis.
