with the world’s
safest brakes
Yes, it’s Crosfey for the latest features, for th«
new, safer, simpler hydraulic brakes—Hydradisc
Brakes. These are the type of brakes used on th*
biggest and fastest military and commercial
planes, brakes that stop planes landing at 100
miles per hour and more.
CL FINS rjouL
You see them
everywhere!
A new, tested and proved spot disc principle
Is used in the Hydradisc Brake. You get positive
braking action even under the worst condition*-,
water, mud, slush, ice or oil.
One simple external screw adjustment—tong,
lived braking material.
Hydradisc are costlier brakes—but there's ne
increase in the price of Crosley cars. Crosley i*
still the new car with the lowest down payment,
the lowest monthly payments. Crosley is still the
car that saves money by the mile—up to 50 miles
on a gallon of regular gasoline. Stop in and
drive the new Crosley cars with tho world'*
safest brakes!

Valley Sportsmen Talk of Fish Fry,'
Sheep Hunting, but Do Little Business
There was haphazard discussion
of possible fish fry dates at last
Wednesday’s monthly meeting of
the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen,
but selection of the definite date
was left in the hands of the
committee. That committee meets
with the Sportsmen’s board of di
rectors in the rifle range next
Monday evening at eight o’clock.
Ken Westenbarger announced
that the Anchorage Pistol and
Rifle Club definitely favored a
plan for use of a joint outdoor
rifle range here in Palmer. The
matter will be more thoroughly
discussed with them at Sunday’s
rifle shoot, and work dates will
be arranged to rough out the
range.
Club president Bill Smith
brought up the matter of a live
fish exhibit at the coming Mat
anuska Valley Fair. Club mem
bers agreed that the project
should create interest. Mr. Smith
appointed a committee, which
will construct the tank and pro
vide the fish. Committee mem
bers include Vern Donaldson,
Bob Burkholder and Bill Roark.
Several club members ques
tioned Mr. Burkholder about the
permit hunting of sheep in the
Talkeetna and Chugach areas
this season. He answered ques
tions as to area limits, and noted
others for reference to the An
chorage office of the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
The FWS agent announced that
1950 changes in the hunting and
fishing regulations are posted on
the bulletin board at the Post
Office. New copies of the regula
tions have not yet arrived here
for distribution.
Just before adjournment, Mr.
Smith announced that n^<t
month’s serving committee would
include Mr. Burkholder, Ben
Cabo and Claud Carroll.
IRATE MOOSE WINS
BOUT WITH SEWARDITE
A mama moose so thoroughly
disliked a Seward resident on
their first introduction, that she
immediately put on a moose-size
temper tantrum. The irate lady
ripped the sleeve of the man’s
leather jacket and then pushed
him down a 25-foot bank, when
they met face to face on what
the man had planned to be a
bear-hunting expedition.
The moose was accompanied
by one calf. Bloodstains on the
snow nearby told a story of ap
parent tragedy in the moose fam
ily. Experienced hunters consider
it likely that the calf was one
of moose twins, and that the sec
ond twin had been the main
course on a bear’s dinner menu.
Fish and Wildlife Service agents
report that lady moose are apt
to be temperamental at this time
of year. Anyone meeting a moose
in the woods is urged to give the
animal all of the right of wa#
she wants—a moose in the proper
mood can be more dangerous
than a bear.
