with either of the above men at
once. The plea for help with
housing also is being circulated
through all Valley organizations
which meet in the next 10 days.
Only matter discussed at the
Wednesday luncheon was the pro
posal, advanced by Russell Fel
zien, that Palmer be declared
off-limits to Fort Richardson per
sonnel during the current polio
epidemic there. Members sug
gested that the Chamber take no
action until territorial health of
ficials recommend preventive
steps. At this time, Dr. C. Earl
Albrecht, territorial commissioner
of health, has stated that quar
antine measures are ineffectual
and unnecessary.
A letter from James Pinkerton
of Ketchikan Cold Storage, re
cent visitor to Palmer during the
Alaska Moose Association con
vention here, expressed great in
terest in the future business po
tential of Palmer. Mr. Pinkerton
said his firm had capital to in
vest, and would appreciate in
formation on the type of business
or service needed here.
The letter stated that the com
pany now operates several utility
services in Alaskan and state-side
cities, but that the firm’s financial
interests are not confined to that
field.
Chamber members voted to an
swer the letter, outlining Palmer’s
Tiost pressing needs as being for
a water system, an adequate tele
shone system and a quick-freeze
slant for processing Valley-grown
vegetables.
A proposal was submitted to
irect a permanent “welcome to
3almer” archway across the An
ihorage-Palmer Highway at the
intrance to the town. It was de
eded to ask other service organi
:ations to help plan the project,
vhich may be either an arch or <
nonument. L. W. Bixby, Everett!
fohn and Charles Wilson were]
lamed the Chambers committee
o work on the plan.
It was reported that the planned
tlaska day money - making
cheme, utilizing punchboards, to
ecoup Colony Day losses, was
ndefinitely postponed. Punch
oards are not available locally.
It’s official now—fall came to
'aimer last Tuesday night, Mrs.
>scar Beylund, weather observer
5r this area, reported today. That
ight, for the first time this sea
on, the mercury dipped to freez
lg, she said. The temperature
Irs. Beylund recorded v.as an
ven 32° F. However, she con
eded that her obesrvation post

Women of the Moose
Initiate Mrs. Lucas
Into Membership
Mrs. Leo Lucas was initiatec
into the Palmer chapter of the
Women of the Moose at the last
regular meeting of the organiza
tion, it was announced today try
Dorothy Anderson, publicity
chairman for the lodge.
For the evening's program,
ladies of the Lodge listened to
Viola Daniels, editor of the Valley
Frontiersman, explain how the
Valley’s newspaper is put togeth
er. She traced a news story, from
the moment is goes into' a re
porter’s notebook, through its de
velopment in the hands of an
editor, a linotype operator, a
printer and pressman, until it
finally emerges in the columns
of the Valley Frontiersman.
Lodge members expressed in
terest in the several presses in
the shop of Matanuska Press,
where the newspaper is published,
and asked many questions about
their operation. They were sur
prised to learn that the shop
boasts the only rotary press in
Alaska, although that press is not
used to produce the Frontiersman.
Lodge ladies were invited to
inspect the shop of the Matanuska
Press, when either the Shopping

loss per vessel.”
The longshore situation recent
[ ly became acute due to the in
creased military activity on the
coast, it was stated. Vessels load
ing Army and Navy cargo have
priority on gangs. Any left over
after meeting the military re
quirements are pro-rated among
the commercial carriers.
The longshore union on Puget
Sound is attempting to help the
situation by developing a pool of
v, orkers outside of union mem
bership. However it has been
found that the union cannot train
men fast enough to meet the
growing demand.
It has been suggested that the !
Army create labor battalions to
assist with the longshore work,
but no action has been taken on
that suggestion yet.

I ber.
The defense committee this
week turned its attention to
; transportation problems also.
, Oliver Ankka and Ed Christen
sen will head that part of civilian
defense work. In the event of an
emergency, the pair would have
full authority to requisition any
vehicle necessary to carry out
their duties.
Plans are being formulated for
practice air raid drills. When an
evacuation plan is worked out in
detail for Palmer school children,
a test drill will be run. Valley
residents will be notified in a»i
vance, so that they will not be
needlessly alarmed by the air raid
warning signal.
Meanwhile the committee is
proceeding with the proposed plan
of blood-typing all Palmer school
children, if parents approve. Chil
dren whose parents give written
permission will have their blood
typed and will be issued record
cards.
The committee meets again
next Monday evening at eight
o’clock for a further planning ses
sion.
