Dairymen, Co-Op Meet
In Court Today
Attorneys for six dairymen of
the Matanuska Valley are bat
tling with the legal representa
tives of the Matanuska Valley
.Farmers’ Co-Operating Associa
tion in Third District Court this
morning, to determine whether
the six shall be enjoined from
selling milk to any marketing
agent but their Co-Op.
The hearing was set for 10
/ o’clock this morning in the court
of Judge Dimond. At its con
clusion, the decision of the court
will determine whether the six,
whose ranks were later joined by
Chet Liebing, are breaking their
marketing contract in selling
milk to Alaska Dairy, Inc., rather
than to the Co-Op.
Two other Valley dairymen,
Miss Louise Kellogg and Victor
Falk, Jr., also are selling milk to
Alaska Dairy. Neither are Co
Op members and thus are unaf
fected by the outcome of the suit.

ka Experiment Station will ad

M. Fronce Roughly
Still another casualty in the
list of weekend highway victims
was Miles France of Palmer. Op
erating a plow-equipped truck
and engaged in highway clearing
last Monday, he misjudged dis
tances when negotiating the
crossing at Eklutna and stubbed
the toe of the plow on a railroad
tie.
The resulting jar nearly push
ed Miles through the top of his
truck cab. However, the truck
proved more durable and when
the top of Miles hit the top
of the truck, it was Miles that
suffered. He was hospitalized
overnight at Valley Hospital with
scalp lacerations, but was back at
hjs road-plowing chores again on
Tuesday.

Time's A-Wastin'
On Those Licenses
All Valley vehicles ought to
be displaying those flashy new
blue and orange plates with
1950 in the corner, in very
short order, Patrolman A1
Luebcke reminded today.
Technically, the plates should
have been purchased and on
automobiles by Jan. 1, but the
patrolman is allowing a day
or two of grace, in view of the
difficult travel conditions in
the Valley these days.
However, there’ll be neither
grace nor mercy for the mo
torist that Mr. Luebcke catch
es out without his driver’s li
cense. That license must be in
the driver’s possession or on
his vehicle at all times, he em
phasized.
Sponsor Hosts

ball squad and friends were
guests of their sponsor at an
oyster supper held at the Hotel
