without any of Matanuska's depres-
sion time features, and persons will

basis.
The government made plenty of
mistakes in Matanuska. 1t operated
on toe large a scale. 1t took to Alas
ka a number Of people who simply
couldn't make a go Of farming.
1t gave the colony a rigid organi-
cation which froze out some thrifty,
energetic members. 1t has put
much ore money into the colony
than it will ever get back.
But the worst of the colony's
troubles are over and it will prob
ably go ahead now and be a success
or, at least, be permanent.

now.

The coop thus starts life with

sometime soon with the corpora.

The ISL families in the colony
owe the corporation, on an aver
age, $4,000 apiece on a 30-year-pay-
ment basis. The corporation stands
to get back, therefore around ST.

ALL FARMERS
MUST JOIN COOP
All families must belong to the
cooperative and must market their
products through it.
This arrangement has caused
some friction. One thrifty farmer
for instance, built his own green
house, raised green garden truck
earlier than the others, and got a
top price for it. He refused to join
the cooperative, and finally was
ordered to leave the colony.
Admittedly, the loss of a man as
energetic and canny as that is a
serious loss. Yet the settled policy
is that the colony must carry its
weaker members via the co-opera-
tive, which can't succeed without
100 per cent cooperation.

AS to the future, Col. o. F. Obi

tors of the Alaska Rural Rehabili'

success of this project"
Matanuska, he thinks, can sup
ply about 80 per cent of the $6,'

ed annually into Alaska.
Alaska's population will loon IN

RALEIGH, Feb. 16.-Everybody
seems agreed that Gone With the
Wlnd,' shown here this week, was
L truly great picture; and parti-
cular pleasure was almost univer-
sally expressed that Clark Gable,
Vivian Leigh and others did not
even try to affect a southern ac-
lent.
There was only one mildly dis
senting voice. Pau Fenner, a prom
inent Raleigh Legionnaire, COM
mented:
CLARK and vivien did all right,
but the crows cawed with an Eng
lish accent-at lea-t no crow here
about ever sounded like them; and
the cotton fields were the damned
est things I've ever seen. Looked
like they had stuck pieces of cot
ton on wires, or something. No
leaves, no bolls, no anything that
looked any part Of a real cotton
field.1
U. S. 1.-TWO GUM Page, the
Baden Bombshell, was in Raleigh
this week. He served notice he'll
be back raising a rumpus in the
1941 house-'if the folks down in
Bladen will let me-"
On the governors race he plac-
ed Tom Cooper in a commanding
position in Bladen.
Another legislator-"Sheriff" E.
A. Rasberry of Greene-indicated
he'll try to shift from house to
senate for the next session. Greene
hasn't had a state senator in A
years, he said. Sheriff. might
have gone into the upper house
two years ago but Mrs. w. B.
Murphy Of Snow Hill gummed the
works by saying she intended to
run. Leaders in other counties of
the district were perfectly willing
for Greene-but not for Mrs. Muir
phy-to have a senatorship.
If Raspberry makes it, he will re-
place Jones' John D. Larkins, Jr.,
who will not be a candidate for
reelection.
A. o. Dickens, Wilson lawyer
who twice ran for congress from
the Second, says there isn't even
a remote chance that Judge John
Kerr will have opposition this
time.
He also predicted that Larry
Moore, Jr., 1889 member of the
house from Wilson, will come back
again in 1941 - probably without
any real competition for the place.
