SKI MEET PLANNED
BY OUTING CLUB
FOR "LONGEST DAY"
In what will probably prove to
be a “one of it’s kind,” the Matan
uska Outing Club is now formu
lating plans for a ski meet to be
held on' the longest day of the
year, June 21. Members of the
local club have skied at Little
Susitna mountain in years past
on that date on know it can be
done. The club plans to invite
other skiers local and through
out the territory to attend the
meet, it was decided at the regu
lar meeting held Tuesday night,
at Miss Marjorie Myren’s home.
Completion of the ski tow at
Little Susitna has been tabled.
The snow is beginning to melt
and workers feel a more adequate
job can be done in the fall. The
club plans to have the tow in op
eration at the begining of the
next winter season.
Memberships to the club are
open and anyone wishing to
join may do so by attending
the next regular meeting May 1
at the Co-op club room. Senior
memberships are $5, juniors
(10-18) $2.50, per year. A full
year-around program is being
planned now by a committee ap
pointed at the meeting last Tues
day night.
Proceeds for Building
Northland Pioneer Grange will
hold a rummage and food sale
Tuesday, April 10, from 10 a. m.
on, at the Rec. Hall, Palmer. Pro
ceeds will go to the Grange Hall
building fund.

REMODELLING CARS
IN PALMER YARD
In the Palmer yards of the Ala
ska railroad, 35 outfit cars are
being remodelled into sleeping,
dining, bath and recreation cars
for contract crews this summer.
The cars are being painted and
decorated inside, wiring installed
and other essential work done,
according to C. L. Nelson, agent
for the Alaska Railroad.
Twelve cars were to have been
finished this week, the remainder
as rapidly as possible.
Starting May 1, in Palmer the
250 foot extension on team tracks,
for better loading facilities, and
100 feet of stub track with ramp
and siding for heavy unloading,
will be started. Cost is estimated
at about $20,000.
Plans for the much publicized
Y spur have been postponed.
iHeavy Shipments of
Seed and Fertilizer
j Arriving in Palmer
Two carloads of seed and 3
carloads of fertilizer arrived Wed
nesday in Palmer and up to 10 or
12 more carloads are due April
10th or 12th, Carl R. Rasmussen,
acting manager of the Matanuska
Valley Farmer’s Co-Operating
Assn., said yesterday.
“Our Co-Op warehouse is
bursting at the seams and we are
hoping farmers will unload from
the cars,” Rasmussen said. “We
have a rule that if unloaded from
the cars, there’s a 10 percent dis
count.”
