and no one under the age of 18
'"ill be permitted membership in
the club.
The club by-laws state that any
member picked up on a speeding
charge or on any other driving of
fense for which he must pay a
fine, will find the offense doubly
costly as he will be obliged to pay
a matching sum into the club
treasury. A club member will be
banned from the club if he is in
volved in any major driving of
fense.
There are seven charter mem
bers in the new sports organiza
tion. They are Richard “Ace”
Asay, president; Ken Lancaster,
secretary-treasurer; Darrel Coker,
Joe Coker, Jerry Holly, Jimmy
Gibson and Lonnie Barner.
“We will emphasize safety driv
ing on the highways,” Lancaster
said. “Dragging should be done in
its proper place — on a drag strip
or track away from the regular
traffic.” Lancaster is the operator
of the newly opened Import Auto
car lot in Soldotna.

In order to raise funds for ne

be a free picnic lunch waiting at
Hidden Lake.
Upon payment of a small fee at
the starting point, the participant
is given one playing card in a
sealed envelope at each of five
designated stops, arriving at the
picnic area with five cards, a pok
er hand.
The course begins at the Import
Auto, across from the Sky Bowl,
at 10 a.m. Other stops are at
Moose River, the Soldotna-Kenai
end of the Alcatraz By-pass and
at the turnoff to Hidden Lake.
Judging for the prizes for the six
best poker hands will take- place
at 2 p.m.
The first prize will be a 22>i
inch trophy, a gift of the Soldot
na Timers Assoc. Other prizes
are being contributed by Bob’s
Texaco, Parkers Union Service,
Howard’s “Y” Service, Ridgeway
Service and River Terrace Laun
dry and Cleaners.
Proceeds will be used by the
“Timers” to buy track insurance,
timing clocks for drag races,
scales to weigh cars so they may
be entered in proper classifica
tions, jackets for drivers and
plaques.

True Fish Story,
Says Area Angler
A trtfe fish <&<rry that smacks
of another “first” in the chroni
cles of Alaska fishing was report
ed in the May 24 issue of the Cook
Inlet Courier, published at Hom
er by James and Marie McDowell.
The account, as recorded in the
“Inlet Courier” is as follows:
“Major Robert W. Lord, Com
mander of Ohlson Mountain Air
Force Station (at Homer), has a
possible first in Alaskan fishing.
On Monday evening, May 20.
while fishing near the mouth of
the Anchor River, he hooked a
king salmon on 20 lb. monefila
ment.
The fish had run about 50 feet
before the heartbreaking snap of
the line was left. Major Lord had
hooked his first King and lost
him. A few casts later he noticed
he had hooked a piece of line,
snagged by his lure. Thinking he
might come by another lure, Maj
or Lord started pulling in the
piece of line by hand.
After approximately 25 feet of
pulling, the line started going out
again, burning a nice groove in
the major’s finger.
Major Lord had snagged his
own line and after a brief strug
gle landed his first King, a 25 Vi
pounder, on a monefilament hand
line. This should be an Alaskan
first.”
