First Semester Ends
With 25 on Honor
Roll, Grades 7-12
Srhnol wst in wtMon just long
enough Thursday for distribution
' of report card* Then the winds
that sent students scurrying for
J home at noon allowed tham
plenty of time over the enforced
! four-day holiday to mull over
! their scholastic averages for the
first half of the school year.
The seniors had the highest
I percentage of their number on
the high school honor roll for the
third six-week period. Out of an
enrollment of 19. five students in
cluding Wesley Eckert. G u s
Klem, Delores Lentz. Ernest
Marth and Rita McClafferty, up
held the senior prestige.
Mary Colberg, Margaret Cope.
I Robert Hartman. Geraldine Kind
I gren, and Mary Ann Mears were
| the juniors on the honor roll,
i With an enrollment of 30, their
j average as a class was behind the
i twelfth graders'.
On the Sophomore honor roll
were Dorothy Hoffman, Neola
Sandvik, Virginia Boulter. Don
na Harris. Ralph Kircher, and
Jean McMahan. These six stu
dents represent only 12.8 percent
of their class.
Only four of the 48 Freshmen
made the honor roll this time.
They were Jean Burke, Howard
Esslinger, Carol Wood, and Carol
Colberg.
For the first time this year a
seventh and eighth grade honor
roll was released. This honor
roll also carried on the trend ob
served in the upper grades: The
lower the grade, the fewer on
the honor roll. Seventh and
eighth graders had to have a
straight 2.5 average to get on the
honor roll, and that’s roughly
half A's and half B’s.
Out of grade 8a with enroll
ment of 31, three persons made
the high average: Carol Berry.
Jerene Stephan, and Jennetta
Lindsey. Arlene Foort was the
only one out of 28 8b students
who made the grade. Out of two
seventh grade enrollments total
ing 44. Rosann Brariton of 7 b was
the sole representative on the
honor roll.
MOOSE COUNT TAKEN;
FWS TO START SHEEP
check at McKinley
Bob Burkholder, local preda
tory control agent. Buck Harris
of the Anchorage Fish and Wild
life office. Dave Spencer, Kenai
refuge supervisor and Jim Peter
son. assistant refuge manager re
cently completed a moose count
on the Kenai game refuge. The
count has been taken the past
two years and acts as medium for :
establishing abundance or decline !
of the moose.
Burkholder stated that eviden- j
ces indicate a slight increase over 1
last year’s count. The season's
kill on the penisula was consider
ed very light. Climatic conditions
were believed to have held the
kill down and may account par
tially for the apparent increase
in the game refuge, he said.
During the count, the FWS men
accounted for 12 coyotes, shot by
the agents from the FWS plane
piloted by Harris.
Burkholder left this week for
McKinley Park where a count on
500 sheep will be made with em
phasis on sex ratio. Following
this count a comparison count
will be attempted on the other
side of the Nannana river where
the sheep were heavily hunted.
The Wildlife service hopes to dis
cover what hunting pressure ac
complished in that area.

Local Fedaral Credit
Union to Hold Annual
Meeting Tuesday
j The annual meeting of the Mat -,
anuska Valley Federal Credit
Union will be held at 8 p. m,
■ Tuesday evening. January 29 a*.
: Recreational Hall.
Members will be asked to de
cide the annual dividend to be
granted this year and to elect new
officers. Following the business
meeting entertainment and re
freshments will be provided.
The local credit union was or
j ganized two and one half years
! ago. The present active voting
| membership consists of 86 Valley !
people. All people in the Mata
nuska Valley are eligible to join.
; The yearly dues are only 25 cents.
The union is an association ol
I members who invest their savings
| and are eligible for loans at one
! percent interest per month on the
unpaid balance. Although the
present capitalization is only
$7,000, the union has made over
$23,000 in loans since the organi-:
zation began. Last year members j
were given a five percent divi- j
dend on the amounts they had
invested.
Jack Newcomb, credit union
secretary, stressed the fact that
the union is subject to federal re- ;
gulations which govern its oper
ation. Under these regulations,
loans are limited to 10 percent of
the capitalization, which would
be a maximum of $700 at the
present time. With a gradual in-:
crease in membership and capi
talization. the association hopes '
that larger loans will be available
to members in the near future.
TEXAS ISN'T
SO HOT, EITHER
Texas may be about to be eclips
ed by Alaska as the largest state
in the Union, but Texans ap
parently are preparing a new
claim to fame, according to the
Alaska Development Board.
What Texas seems to be after
now is recognition as the coldest;
state in the Union.
Among inquiries received this j
week at the Alaska Development :
Board office in Juneau was one
from two girls, age 13 and 14. at
Grand Prairie. Texas, asking
the price of “Eskimo coats”.
"We thought we might be able *
to buy one.” the girls wrote, “be- j
cause this Texas weather is get
ting us down. We don’t see hov; j
Eskimos stand the cold, for we
freeze down here.”'

_ At their meeting last Mondav
Kiwanians had a round tabic
discussion on better citizenship
They asked themselves what they
could do as a club toward getting
Kood representatives of the people
in government. Stressing the fact j
that individual citizens make up
the government, they went on re
cord as backing every person's
right to vote, insising that each
citizen should take advantage of
this privilege and get out to vote
in every election
The advantage of periodic
round table discussions with all;
civic groups in Palmer to air local
issues of importance was also
brought out.
President Smith named Jim'
Hurley and Charles Wilson as j
members of the door committee

vmd it lit little wonder that •uinu
fx-oph's sense of humoi «mt a
litth* sour Monday they rcsijj
mdly surv. yed tin* digging out
job ahead. Perhaps it was natural
that snow-bound car ownei s
would be envious when they saw
Mayor Carl Meier’s business pro
porty brim; cleared uf snow %<
that his trucks could get „ut Wlt»,
their loads of oil to people in des
perate need. It could also be ex
pected that local \. ags would
give the city clearing crew the
credit for according the mayor
this' "preferential service.”
"But it aint so”, said V. W
Martin of Westside Service. "The
mayor hired Ed Christiansen on
his own to get his property clear
ed so his trucks could deliver oil
I know .because I tried to hire Ed
to clear us out, too.”
Without a doubt the overwork
ed mayor can take such thought
less humor in his stride, but just
in’ease his customers' oil troubles
have given him an extra dose of
frazzled nerves, it's only fair to
set the record straight.
