Insurance Agent
} Headquarters Here
I. Paul Cronin, one of four
Alaskan representatives of Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of
New York, last week arrived in
the Valley to make his insurance
headquarters here. Mr. Cronin
expects to be busily engaged in
selling life insurance to Valley
residents, for some time to come.
One of the company’s general
offices is located in Anchorage,
and it is not anticipated that a
second office will be established
here at this time. Mr. Cronin ex
pects to conduct his business from
his home, he said.
The insurance representative is
temporarily living in a cabin on
the George Black farm, while he
hunts quarters in Palmer for him
self, his wife and his dog. He’s
also temporarily receiving tele
phone calls and messages at the
Matanuska Valley Telephone Ex
change office, in case anyone
wishes to discuss insurable mat
ters with him.
CROCKER HEARING
CONTINUES HERE
At press-time today, only three
witnesses had been called to testi

Crocker has been charged with al
legedly violating CAA’s safety
regulations in a flight over Pal
'mer last Feb. 22.
Already on record was the testi
mony of Jack Long of the Mata
nuska Air Trading Service located
at the Palmer airport and of Clair
Stock. Both testified to witness
ing an early morning flight of a
plane similar to Mr. Crocker’s in
appearance, which flew at a low
altitude over both Palmer airport
and the town of Palmer.
Les Green, local pilot, was still
presenting his testimony when the
trial recessed for lunch today.
The hearing was to resume at one
o*clock, too late for a report in
this week’s paper.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Bain of Palmer was hos
pitalized for medical treatment
this week.
