Woodcutters Get Fuel
For Community Hall
WASILLA — Several Wasilla
residents went to the Harold
Dinkel place last week, to volun
teer their services to cut wood
volunteered by Mr. Dinkel for use
at the Community Hall. The

A Few Words
To the Wise —
“What is the world coming to?”
is a question we often hear these ,
days.
Suppose we could look into the !
future to see the answer to this j
question. Would we have the
courage to face it?
The Bible tells us about men’s ;
hearts failing them for fear of j
the things that shall come upon !
the earth.
^On every hand we see fulfil- !
ment of the prophecies concerning
wars and rumors of wars, earth
quakes in divers places, famines
and pestilences.
The thought of the A bomb, the
H bomb, flying saucers and inva
sions from other planets add fear
to our trembling hearts.
Jesus said, “When these things
begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads, for
your redemption draweth nigh.”
—By Ray Cather.

Juneau Sportsmen Seek
More P-R Funds
Members of Juneau’s Territorial
Sportsmen, local organization of
fishing and hunting enthusiasts,
last week agreed to support a bill i
pending in Congress, which will1
up Alaska’s share of Pittman
Robertson funds to $75,000. This
money, which brings only $25,000
to the territory now, is obtained j
from an excise tax on the sale of [
guns and ammunition.
Juneau club members were told j
by Jack O’Connor, club president, i
that there was great loss of deer !
wherever no grain feeding had i
been provided this winter. The I
Juneau organization had pur
chased grain for this purpose. It j
was reported that most of the j
January crop of fawns was lost, j
because of stormy weather and;
lack of nourishing food.
