3 LOCAL HUNTERS
GET THEIR MOOSE
Several Valley residents report
ed “good hunting” during the
second Moose season this year,
open from December 1 to 10.
Among the hunters who had good
luck were Herbert Schmidt of
Arctic Metal Works, Louis Loberg
of the Loberg Variety store, and
Ed Blom, local carpenter.
The three hunters spent nine
days on their expedition which
took them to Mile 221 on the
Alaska railroad. They returned
last week end with a very fine
moose, which Mr. Blom “dropped
with one shot,” according to Mr.
Schmidt. It took them three days

Legion Auxiliary to
Donate $10 to Annual
Children's Xmas Party
The American Legion Auxil
iary will assist with the Christ
mas party for children of the
community to be held at Valley
theatre on December 24, by mak
ing a contribution of $10 toward
the yearly event, officers of the
Auxiliary announced this week.
The fourth annual Christmas
party to be held here for the
children of the Valley, it is spon
sored by merchants of Palmer.
The next meeting of the Aux
iliary will be held on December
21 at 8 p.m. at Carpenter’s hall.
The meeting will also be the oc
casion of a Christmas celebration
by the Auxiliary in the form of
an old-fashioned box supper for
members and their guests. Ladies
of the Auxiliary are reminded
that in addition to box suppers
planned for a two-some, they are
also to bring along a “trailer
box.” The latter is a box supper
prepared for one, packed and dec
orated to complement the orig
inal. It is the Auxiliary’s own
clever way of getting around the
Alaskan woman shortage as it
permits one lady to act as hostess
to two successful bidders. Dr.
Foster Sims will be auctioneer at
the party which promises a very
?ala evening.
to resume his work here with the
Geological Survey.
