 Work Progress Ion New Hotel

William Head of Anchorage, member of the board of directors of the Matanuska Hotel, was a Valley visitor last week. While here, MT. Head conferred with board members and inspected the work on the building.
 Mr., Head expressed himself as we'll pleased with the progress of the construction. A total of 10 employees are rushing exterior work on the building in order that the work many continue through the winter.
 The established labor policy of hiring only local employees was re-asserted by MT. Head and his fellow board members during his visit. Hotel directors expect to make every effort to fill each job at the building, both during the construction period and lat CT, with Valley employees.
 Workers at the hotel were pouring concrete for the furnace base last weekend. They expected to begin next on forms for the hotels dining room.

DONATIONS
RECEIVED BY BOARD

The cemetery board has announced
that 1.-TWO very generous donations
we're received this week for the
cemetery from Mrs. NJ. o. Roysdon
and Mrs. B. L. Price. The donations
cover all of two checks for 5000
each which they received as dividend
checks from the l.. L. club and which
they endorsed over to the cemetery
board.
"One other donation was received
the past week from l.. A. Nutting,"
a representative of the board said.
The board expressed its thanks for
the generosity of the contributors
and added that the money will be
used as earmarked.
The checks from Mrs. Roysdon and
Mrs. Price, for the perpetual care
fund of the cemetery, came from
a recent sale of the L. L. club prov

Here Adopting
Voluntary Rationins
More Food To Send Abroad; Meatless Tuesdays
and Poultryless and Eggless Thursdays

A good many Laurel people ap-
parently intend to support the ap-
peal of President Truman for meat
less Tuesdays as a mean for in
creasing the amount of food to send
abroad, a partial survey of meat
markets and stores here indicated
this week. Some operators observed
a decline in meat sales and a gain
in items that serve as substitutes.
The president also asked for a
poultryless and eggless Thursday TO
continue through the duration of the
emergency. To many the apparent
plan to send chickens and turkeys
overseas seems strange.
The president made his appeal to
the American people Sunday evening,
asking them to adopt self-imposed
rationing during the governments
efforts to save as many people as
possible from death by starvation.
An earlier appeal requested greater
economy in the use of all foods, par
ticularly bread.
Letters received in Laurel from
Europe confirm all the reports that
the people of England and those re-
siding on the Continent face the
gravest winter they have known.
Their food are at the
lowest level recorded in modern his
tory, caused both by the war and
its aftermath, and by strangely adj
verse weather at a time when crops
were most needed. One Frenchman
writing two months ago told of
summer freezes that killed large
amounts of growing wheat, and a
resident of Denmark predicted dur
ing the past summer that that coun-
try would be on extremely short
rations in the coming winter.
A recent letter from France said
the ration of bread there had been
reduced to 300 grams, about 10
ounces, per day. AS bread is used
more in France that any other
country, he said, the French people
are graphing with a situation that
will result in many deaths before
here is an opportunity to produce
another crop. Contrary to many
countries, France with its lack of
space does not grow potatoes on
he scale practiced elsewhere, and
neat is not abundant. The writer
