Pony Leagues To Open Soon
A Pony League with at least
four teams is the goal of Penin
sula Builders Howard Olsen.
So far Howard has lined up
three sponsors including Penin
sula Builders Supply, Tachick
Freight Line and American Le
gion Post.
Practice sessions are sched
uled for 2:30 p.m. on the ball
park across from Kenai School.
The league is open to kids of
12 to 17 years.
Fire Watcher
Another warning of the dan
ger of unattended fires was is
sued this week as the fire
trucks made a call to the Pappy
Walker subdivision. A fire
started near some trash con
tainers caught the surrounding
grass and threatened both the
Hayworth and the Gibson
homes in the area.
Lift That Bale
Kenai longshoremen are at
tempting to break all records
by unloading barges into the
Kenai dock. On April 28, 3,600
tons of freight was discharged
in less than 30 hours by one
shipside gang and one dockside
crew. Although the weather
was perfect for the detach
ments, the stevedores anticipate
this efficiency to continue.
Telephone
Improvements in the tele
phone system benefitted all the
area, but Kenai in particular.
The Kenai numbers, under the
new system will be the perma
nent condes. Another extended
improvement, Kenai can call
Soldotna and vice versa with
out going through local opera
tors. The same goes for Wild
wood Station, which before
needed a long distance call
through Anchorage!
The Richard Dority family of
Jerome, Idaho, are moving to
Kenai where Dick will be em
ployed by Kenai Korners.
