MOOSE ASSOCIATION WON'T LET
STATEHOOD BE A FORGOTTEN ISSUE
OUUCllUUU lUi niaoi\a itu uiw
resolutions passed by last week’s
Alaska Moose Association dele
gates, who met here in annual
conference Wednesday through
Sunday. “It’s right at the head
of our list this year, and it’s going
to stay right at the top until
statehood is passed,” one dele
gate asserted.
Delegates also renewed their
pledge against communism, but
sounded a note of warning against
hysteria in dealing with the com
munist menace.
Ketchikan was selected as the
site for the 1951 conference. Of
ficers elected to head the Asso
ciation for the coming year in
cluded: ,
Reed Burt, Ketchikan, presi
dent;
Carl Asplund, Fairbanks, first
vice-president;
B. Wilburn, Petersburg, second
vice-president;
Hank Dyer, Anchorage, third
vice-president;
Ward Adams, Sitka, fourth
vice-president.
Presentations and awards were
made at the Saturday night ban
quet held in the Palmer Gymna
sium. Before a crowd of 160 dele
gates, waives and friends, Carl
Stettler of Cordova, membership
director of the Moose Association,
awarded the trophy for degree
team excellence to Juneau Lodge
No. 700. Juneau and Sitka were
the only lodges competing for the
trophy, which each organization
has won twice now. Only the
slimmest of margins separated the
two lodges this year. The Sitka
score was 632.7 and the Juneau
lodge totalled 637.2.
Petersburg, newest lodge in the
Alaska Moose Association, took
home the membership trophy.
Organized in the past year, in less
than one year’s time the Peters
burg lodge has accumulated 132
members. Ernest Sims, only
Petersburg delegate present, ac
cepted the trophy for his organi
zation.
Carl A. Weis, representative
from the Supreme Lodge, closed
the banquet session with an out
line of plans for construction of a
new high school at Mooseheart.
Earlier in the evening he had
been presented with a check for
$522, the gift of the Alaska Moose
Association for the Mooseheart
High School.
Mr. Weis predicted, in conclu
sion, that Alaska would be the
first state or territorial organiza
tion in which every unit lodge
had pledged a contribution to the
high school building fund.
The sixth annual conference
: closed with the fellowship degree
meeting, held Sunday morning at
the Matanuska Hotel. Four new
candidates, among them Jack
Leek and Arthur Pierson of Pal
mer, received the fellowship de
gree.
As the delegates started their
return trip to their home lodges
on Monday, Ralph Moore of Pal
mer, Association president for the
past year, voiced his appreciation
to Palmer merchants, organiza
tions and individuals who con
tributed to the very successful
convention. He named, in partic
ular, Supt. William T. Zahrad
nicek and school board members
of Palmer School District, Mata
nuska Valley Post No. 15 of the
American Legion, members of the
local chapter of the Women of
the Moose, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Sullivan of the Matanuska Hotel,
Don Ingalls of the local lodge, and
Mrs. Moore.
