booth between now and Christ
mas at the group’s regular meet
ing Monday night.
I^-s. John L. Sullivan and
members of the hotel staff have ,

are divided equally between the*
ACCA and the Cheechakos’ Val
ley Hospital fund.
Study Club in Kansas
Sends Hospital Gift
Palmer is not alone in its strug
gle for a new Valley Hospital.
From far away Chase, Kansas,
word came this week that a gift
of^surgical forceps is on its way
for the new hospital.
The story behind the gift goes
back to last June when Mrs. Jes
sie M. Haxton of that small town
wrote for information about the
Valley. The Home Culture Club
there was making a study of Al
aska. Mrs. Haxton’s letter was
referred to Mrs. Neil Miller, long
qualified as community historian.
In her reply, Mrs. Miller men
tioned the struggle for a new hos
pital here and the excellent pos
sibilities that one would soon be
built.
The members of Mrs. Haxton s
club became so interested that
•’tthey wanted to do something that
would help. A letter to the hos
pital brought them a list of need

MILITARY AUDrTS
LOCAL MILK AND
ICE CREAM ACCOUNTS
Three representatives of th*’
Alaskan Command contracting
and purchasing office were visit
ors at the MVFCA office Friday
for the quarterly audit of recom
bined milk and ice cream ac
counts.
Don Phelps. Leonard Jones,
and Lieutenant Norman
made up the military party. The
audits are made quarterly to de
termine whether or not the over
all price for recombined milk and
ice cream purchases are fair—
whether the Co-Op is getting too
much, not enough, or what it
should. Although the military
contract resulted from a low Co
Op bid, the terms make it, in re
ality. a cost plus contract. The
audit group decided that the
present price is fair although a
few minor adjustments were
made.
Next montn the Co-Op will fur
nish milk and ice cream amount
ing to $70,000. Recently the
monthly shipments of these pro
ducts alone have amounted to at
least $60,000 under the military
contract.
