Sportsmen Go Hunting,
Leave Wives Home
To Plan Fair Display
Last-minute Fair details bo
thered the handful of members of
the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen
who attended last week’s meet
ing. The regular Sept. 6 meeting
was advanced a week, in order to
avoid conflict with moose and
caribou seasons. However many
hunters still were absent, having
left a day or two early in order
to be at their chosen hunt location
when the season turns.
President Bill Smith again ap
pealed for help in planning the
exhibit in the cabin at the Fair.
He announced that plans for a
live fish tank had to be aban
doned, when builders discovered
the cabin floor was not strong
enough to sustain the weight of
the tank, when filled with water.
The tank has been dismantled
and stored, and will be put into
use next year, if preliminary car
pentry work can be done on the
cabin.
Mr. Smith asked for volunteers
for watchman’s duty at the ex
hibit. A work schedule was draft
ed as follows, for three Fair days
(the exhibit will not be opened
on Friday):
Saturday—Mrs. Dan Fleming,
Mrs. Leo Lucas and Bill Smith.
Sunday—Mrs. Marie Westen
barger, Viola Daniels and Mr.
Smith.
Monday — Mrs. Bill Smith,
Mrs. Leonard Kyger and Mr.
Smith.
Workers split the Fair hours
into four-hour shifts.
Girl Born to Trudells
A baby daughter was born to
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Trudell of
Palmer on Tuesday, September
5. The new little girl weighed six
pounds, two ounces. She was born
at Valley Hospital.
WASILLA JUNIORS
TRIM PALMER NINE
IN SEASON SERIES
The Wasilla junior baseball
nine sponsored by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars chapter in the
neighboring town put a period
to their chapter of victorious sum
mer baseball recently, when they
defeated the local Moose juniors
on the Palmer diamond. The
score of that game was Wasilla 6,
Palmer 2.
Wasilla stood one game on top
of the Palmer nine, when the
series ended on Wednesday. A
final game, announced for Fair
time, was cancelled since most of
the Wasilla players were gunning
for a winter’s meat supply at the
scheduled game-time.
The sponsoring organizations
concluded the season with a party
for their baseball charges. The
neighbor teams carried their
baseball competition to a refresh
ment session with ice cream and
cake.
The junior baseball was so suc
cesful this summer, that both the
LOOM and VFW sponsors are
planning two teams for next sum
mer’s play. When the 1951 base
ball season gets under way, there
will be a junior and senior league
of junior baseballers, according
to the present plans of team
coaches Marty Sherman and Pat
barter.
SON BORN TO HURLEYS
A baby boy was born to Mr.
and Mrs. James Hurley of Pal-*
mer on Thursday, September 7.
The new baby weighed in at eight
pounds, 15 ounces. He is wel
comed into the Hurley family by
three older sisters. Mr. Hurley is
general manager of the Alaska
Rural Rehabilitation Corporation,
with headquarters offices in Pal
mer.
