OPEN HOUSE—
.. (Continued from Page 1)
tremely serious. This prompted
AHA to build the 25 homes.
“Only 10 homes were framed
in before winter, and the first
unit now being completed is
among those 10. The remaining
15 will be started shortly. Com
pletion of all 25 is expected by
late summer.”
The homes are on sites obtained
from the Alaska Rural Rehabili
tation Corp., close to the center of
Palmer. They are two and three
bedroom sizes, varying in floor
plan and exterior, with full base
ments, forced-air heating system
and thermo-pane windows.
Prices range from $14,000 to
$16,000 with a d<^vn payment of
$2,300 to $3,900.
Under terms of Territorial leg
islation, priority is given pur
chasers who have resided in Alas
ka for not less than one year; on
50 percent of the homes, priority
will be given to eligible World
War II veterans.
Applications for purchase may
be obtained from Mrs. Betty
Mears, “Betty’s Apparel” shop,
Palmer. Mrs. Mears, who is do
nating this service, will have the
plans of the homes available, to
gether with financing require
ments.
The Alaska Housing Authority
plans to construct the same type
of housing as the project at Pal
mer in a number of other Alas
kan communities.
Commissioners of the Alaska
Housing Authority expected to at
tend the “open house” are: Father
Paul C. O’Connor, chairman, of
Hooper Bay; Mayor Z. J. Loussac,
vice-chairman, Anchorage; Louise
W. Miller, Ketchikan; Harold A.
Byrd, Flat; and Jake Cropley,
Juneau.
Boy Scouts Win
Camping Trip
Twelve Boy Scouts from Pal
mer, lucky winners of a weekend
camping trip, left today, Friday,
for the Scout cabin in the Chu
gach district, Eklutna, where they
will be joined by boys from Troop
617, Anchorage. They will take
tests and play outdoor games.
The boys took their own sleep
ing bags, eating utensils, towels
and soap. The charge of $2.50 per
includes lodging and food. Super
vising will be Emil LaWalters of
the Boy Scout committee, and the
Rev. Victor Alfsen, Boy Scout
leader, of Palmer.

More Strafing
In late maneuvers in the war
game, the “enemy” struck again
in the Anchorage and Fairbanks
areas, with bombing and strafing
attacks that ended a four-hour
lull in military exercise “Fire
step.” The sorties were the first
major action since last Friday
morning, when similar attacks
were made in these1 areas and
defending ground forces at Kodi
ak fought furiously to successfully
wipe out a threat to the United
States Naval Station there.
For the first time since the
“enemy” secured two footholds
in western Alaska during early
phases of the mock operations,
there is an indication of intensi
fied activity there which has de
fending forces mustering their
full strength for any additional
assaults.
Local civil defense leaders
stressed this may be a military
exercise now—but the population
should take it seriously and b^
prepared should grim emergency
strike.
