Boy Scouts Rank High

Anchorage and will be in either January or February. Two ral. lies were held during the past year, one of which was won by Palmer and the other by Anch- orage Scouts.
 Col. T. s. Mosely of Fort Rich ardson discussed with the group plans for the coming Air Jam- boree to be held at the Post in May. At least 400 Scouts and their leaders are expected to at tend. It is hoped the Jamboree can be organized on a hemis- pheric plan, but it will be na- ton in scope if the first plan cannot be developed.
 Keith M. Lesh of AncAorage was installed as district chair man of Boy Scouts at last weeks meeting. His committee mem bers include Jack Maze of Palm CT, Al Hulen, Alan Brandes, Rev. R. Roland Armstrong, Robert Risley, J. L. McCarrey, Dr. Asa Martin Colonel Mosley and Wal ter Williams.

 The regular December meet. ing of the P-TA will be held Tuesday at 8 o'clock in the school cafeteria.

Although Scout advancement in Alaska has not been rapid be- cause the work is relatively new here, Palmer's troop 654 has maintained a consistently high level of progress, it was report ed at the annual dinner meeting of the Boy Scout district com mittee last week. Troop 654, which has an enrolment of "A Scouts, is B per cent First Class Scouts.
 Recommendations for best Scouting achievement call for at least 25 per cent of troop mem bership as First Class Scouts, and no more than 40 per cent should be Tenderfeet.
 The Palmer-Wasilla area now has four organized Scout troops, with a fifth in the process of organization. Palmer has one regular Scout troop, an Air Scout unit, and a Cub scout unit. Wasilla has a regular scout troop and is organizing a Cub

pack. The Scouts in the Valley area total 6 per cent of the en- tire membership in the Terri tory.
 Last weeks meeting, attended by Victor Alfsen, w. E. Huntley, Duane Huntley, Dick Drabble and Jack Maze of Palmer, sum- marized the Scout work of the past year and listened to plans for the year ahead.
 Scouting has grown in the Anchorage district, from total enrolment of 35 men and boys in April of 1946 to 530 in De- cember of 1947. Three Scout camps have been organized in the territory-one at Cordova, another at Kodiak and a third, Kings lake, in the Valley.
 Active plans were made at the district meeting for coming Scout activities. There will be another district rally for all Boy Scouts in the area early next year. The rally is to be held in

Chest Drive
 Starts Slowly

With three and a half days of the Valleys 13-day Community Chest drive already gone, only S35 had been collected by drive workers by Saturday noon, so- Icitation chairman Jack Maze reported.
 Chest workers have until next Monday to solicit contributions and pledges which will meet the S3,O00 goal set for Palmer.
 Some areas have not yet been covered. others still need solicitors appointed. Mrs. lola Sims. in charge of all solici- tors. has been i'll during the past week and has been unable 10 reach a representative in all of the rural areas.
 Workers expected to begin a concentrated effort toward their goal yesterday. Both Victor Alfsen and w. L. Zeile said they expected to reach most of the homes in their assigned areas early this week.
 MT. Maze said many families do not understand that the Com munity Chest donation does not need to be paid at this time. Workers will accept pledges, to be paid in installments as indi- cated by the donor, as the Com munity Chest receipt indicates.
 Because the drive has come so close to the Christmas season, many of the Valley residents reached earlier this week said they were unable to contribute. Mfr. Maze earnestly requests that homes which cannot make con- tribution at this time, accept a pledge card and name an amount to be paid at later date.
 "The success of this drive depends entirely upon the whole-hearted cooperation of all Valley residents" MT. Maze said. We believe that your gifts. pledged through the Community Chest. will make this years giving easier for the Valley residents. Com munitY Chest giving is the business-like way of taking care of your charity obliga- lions. It works in the cities of the states. and it will work in Palmer. if we all work to- gether 10 suppor it."
 The Community Chest central committee met last night to draft last-minute plans for reaching this years goal. The solicitation committee and all solicitors are to meet tonight in the basement of the Lutheran church for final instructions.
 It is expected that the date for the drives Red Feather day will be announced at the conclu- sion of these committee meet ings. A red feather is given to every drive contributor who pledges S1O or more to the Val lty's Community Chest fund.

was cold out there. Why, in Chi cago it was only three above"
 With that brief summary of their Chicago vacation, Flo Alice Dinkel and Lynn Sandvik dis missed week of once-in-a-life- time experiences during the re- cent national Four-H convention. They both admitted that it had been fun, but both were ex- tremely happy to be back in the Valley again.
 Flo Alice sent detailed reports of convention activities to the Valley Frontiersman, but Lynn admitted he'd been having so much fun there wasn't any time for reporting. T was busy" he protested. We were up until 2 o'clock every morning and then ve had to get up at six again"
 For Flo Alice it was a com oination of so many first in my life" happenings, that it sets her to counting fingers to itemize them all. It was her first plane ride; she was a guest at the first football game she'd ever attend ed; she took her first long train ride; she stayed at large hotel for the first time in her life. She also saw a radio program in ac- tion for the first time, and earlier was herself a participant on a radio program for the first time in her life.
 The Chicago conference in- cluded trips to museums, li- braries, art galleries and a visit to the International Livestock show, held during the conven- ton week.
 Alaska's delegates were re ceived with wonder by fellow Four-H club members from the states, and all three (Richard Dangler of Seward was also an Alaskan representative) are still surprised that there's so little I factual information available in the states about the territory. Both Lynn and Flo Alice spent much of their free time in just answering questions, and both feel that a good many boys and 1 girls know whole lot more about the Matanuska Valley, at least, than they did before the Chicago convention.
 The Alaskan delegates were not the only representatives from territorial possessions, however, for there were dele. | gates from Hawaii and the Vir' gin Islands at Chicago, too.
