Trip November 28
There are still several open
ings on the planes going to Nome,

The Palmer basketball team
and coach will make the trip for

played between . Territorial
schools at Nome. Several local
teachers are planning to go along
as well as many Palmerites. An
chorage teachers will be offered
the opportunity to attend, Mr.

It may be more feasible to hire
one DC-4 than the two DC-3
planes we had planned on, Zah
radnicek said. If for some reason
the flight should have to be can
celled, all fares will be returned
to the purchasers. However, there
will be no refunds on tickets

except under stated circumstanc
es.
GRUENING SAYS NEW
CONGRESS WILL GRANT
STATEHOOD TO ALASKA
Gov. Ernest Gruening said in
Portland November 11 he be
lieves statehood for the territory
finally will materialize in the
83rd Congress.
The governor told reporters he
doubts whether the change of ad
ministrations will change the
statehood situation much. Lead
ers of both parties have approv
ed the statehood program, he
said.
Gruening also said the next
Congress probably will approve
legislation to enable the Alumin
um Company of America to ac
quire enough land to build its
proposed aluminum plant near
Skagway.
Gruening said he expects to
be relieved as governor of Alas
ka when his present appointment
expires in April, 1953.

BASKETBALL SEASON
OPENS FRIDAY NIGHT
Coach Bob Crites has been
working his basketball team po
tentials in daily practice sessions
this week, preparing them for
the first game of the season Fri
day night, November 14 when
Palmer Moose meet the 333rd Re
connaissance team in the Palmer
Gym.
The loss of several key players
this year leaves Crites with a
more or less green team. How
ever, Crites said, he expects to
have a good team, shaped up for
their game with Nome on Novem
ber 29. Neither Anchorage or
Fairbanks lost a man from their
last year’s teams and should make
strong showings in the Railbelt
Conference.
The starting five for Friday’s
game will probably be picked
from the following: Pivot men,—
John Brown and Dick Geiwitz;
Post—Winegarner and Jerry
Hemmer: Forward slot—Jack Mc
Kechnie; Guard slot, r.g.— Monte
Larsh and Joe Lentz; l.g. Benny
Ross and Don Ingalls.
A preliminary game at 7.30
pair of skiis and ski poles will
be awarded.
