This Week’s Lenten
Menu Suggestion
Bailed Black Cod
There are several easy ways
of preparing this appetizing
fish. Select the required
amount for your serving and
boil, with an onion, in salted
water for 10 minutes. Serve
with drawn butter. Or serve
with a cream sauce, together
with boiled potatoes. Some
prefer the potatoes boiled with
the cod and the fish and pota
toes served together in a rich
cream sauce.

BAN IS ON FISH,
COTTONWOOD, FIRE,
WOLVERINE CREEKS
The 1950 fishing regulations for
game fish in the Matanuska Val
ley have closed most of the fav
orite streams and lakes here jbr
several weeks, it was learned to
day from Bob Burkholder, Fish
and Wildlife Service agent sta
tioned here.
Effective March 15, the drain
age of four main creeks were
closed until June 1. Affected by
the closure were all waters in the
drainages of Fish, Wolverine, Cot
tonwood and Fire Creeks. All
lakes in the designated areas
draining from these streams also
are closed by the regulation.
Mr. Burkholder said it was dif
ficult to list each lake separately,
but said waters on which the ban
were in effect could be easily
checked by tracing the drainage
systems on any map. “If yotf're
in doubt, just get a good map of
Alaska and follow it through,” he
announced. “You can’t possibly
go wrong that way.”
Two lakes in the Valley not af
fected by the restriction are Fin
ger Lake and Swan Lake. Both
are open for fishing now, the
FWS agent said.
Moose Breaks Legs
In Downhill Tumble
Onto Railroad Tracks
WASILLA—An injured moose
was discovered by Tony Velanis
on the Railroad treess near Was
illa last week. The animal showed
no evidence of having been hit by
either a train or an automobile.
It is believed the moose fell over
a railroad embankment onto the
steel tracks, where it broke both
front legs.
Mr. Velanis, section foreman
for The Alaska Railroad, reported
the matter to Pat Carter, special
commissioner at Wasilia. Mr.
Carter disposed of the moose and
turned the salvaged meat over to
the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Health Council Endorse^
Clean-Up Campaign
A Palmer clean-up campaign,
proposed for the month of April,
was discussed at last week’s
meeting of the Valley Health
Council.
Joseph Hudock, Kiwanis rep
resentative on the Council, told
the group that his organization
was planning to sponsor such a
campaign and had appointed a
committee to plan for it. Council
members then decided to go on
record as willing co-operators in
the campaign with the Kiwan’s
Club.
New by-laws for the organiza
tion, discussed at two recent
meetings, were adopted by the
group. ' . . -
Dr. Robert Smith of the.Terri
; tonal Department of Health, who
' had been questioned concerning
powers of a board of health in an
' unincorporated area, quoted the
•territorial law on this subject,
by. Lettef. This law provides that
the chairman of an incorporated
school , district, if there is such a
district, shall form a community
board of health in the area.
Council members agreed to re
fer Dr. Smith’s letter to Lucius
‘Ross of the Palmer school district
for his further action.
