George Fennimore of Anchor age was critically injured at Sheep Mountain last Friday aft ernoon, when he fell beneath a tractor which rolled completely over his body.
 MT. Fennimore was bulldozing a site for a private landing strip when the accident occurred. A tree in the path of the dozer, which was working on an uphill grade, toppled toward the driver. MT. Fennimore dove from his seat to escape. As he lay helpless on the ground, the tractor engine began firing in reverse, and the heavy machine rolled across his body.
 The injured man was placed on door and brought to Palmer in the back of a pickup truck. The accident occurred at 2:30 and he was not admitted to the Valley hospital until 6:3O Fri day evening.
 Drs. R. E. Garrett and H. liar old Lamberton, Post orthopedic surgeon now living in the Val ley, worked the entire night over the injured man.

PMS Starts Season With Pair Of Wins

Palmer high school won its initial two games of the current basketball season last weekend by the precarious margin of one point in each game. They squeezed by the Alumni 20 to 19 on Friday, and bested a fast Army five 21-2O on Saturday.
 Fridays game was more near ly a rodeo than a basketball game. The high school five came through it thoroughly tired and more than a little shaken. Ray Puhl, high school forward, was the evenings one casualty, though. He lost a tooth, when bumped by Bert Stewart in a melee near the basket.
 The Alumni started fast in that game, to pull to a 62 lead in the first quarter. The high school steadied as game time drew on, evening the count at Gall midway in the second guar, ter, and pulling ahead 12-11 by half time.
 There was never more than four or five points difference in the score during the entire eve ming. The high school was ahead 16-13 at the third quarter, and barely lasted through an Alumni spurt in the fourth quarter.
 Larry Stevens, high school guard, played a smooth floor game and led his teammates in scoring, netting 10 points in all. Bob Stewart, small and fast, was

Court lessons learned in after school and evening drills were thoroughly tested in Saturdays high school-Army contest. The Army, the 27th Statistical Con- trol Unit, displayed speedy court game that kept the high school boys working hard.
 Although trailing by a small margin through almost the whole game, the Palmer five played as smooth a game as though it were mid-Season. Their defensive work was outstanding, and the Army men were forced to shoot well out to make their scores.
 Palmer scored first with a foul shot by Larry Stevens, but the Army quickly retaliated with a field goal. The score was knotted at four-all at the end of the first quarter, but Army led 11-8 at the half and 17-12 going into the IOurCn quarter.
 However the Palmer five never lost heart. They settled down to work in the fourth quar- ter to whittle away the Army lead, point by point. With two minutes of play remaining, the local boys rallied to grab their one-point lead, and then held on to control the ball until the final whistle.
 The Army squad played a clean, fast game, but showed need for more game experience. Players repeatedly lost control of

Bid Withdrawn On Buildings

The Valley Volunteer Fire As sociation has determined to with draw its bid for 16 buildings To- cated at Cathedral Heights on the Alaska Highway, it was an nounced this week. The decision was made upon the recommenda- tion of William Curtis, sent to inspect the unit last Friday.
 The Association had met Thursday evening to discuss with interested businessmen the pur- chase of Cathedral camp build ings. Al Hagen of the Association announced that the plan was to reserve two or three of the units for use by the fire department. The remaining structures were to be sold to interested Valley pur- chasers.
 MT. Hagen asked for discus sion of the plan, and also re- quested information on the camp condition. The Betts brothers, Wasilla truckers, said they had stopped at the camp, but were unable to give exact. informa- tion as to building type and pres ent condition.
 However, it was believed the camp should be free from pilfer- ing, since the Military Police had maintained camp there for some time.
 Members of the group, none of whom had exact information about the Cathedral camp, said they believed buildings to be mostly of native lumber, rather than KID type construction.
 It was suggested that some one be flown to Cathedral to in- spect the camp. Leslie Green said he would make the trip at cost, taking with him one man appointed by the fire association.
 William Curtis was selected by the group to make the inspec- ton, and was asked to report back to the Fire Association at l o'clock Sunday. It was further suggested that an alternate trip by car be planned, in the event flying weather was poor on Fri day. Victor Nelson offered the use of his pickup, and Clayton DeLand volunteered to act as driver for Mir. Curtis.
 On Sunday, MT. Curtis sub- mitted his report to a small group, and it was agreed that the fire department would take no further action in the matter.
 MT. Curtis found the buildings to be principally of native lum- Der construction. Most of them were hollow shells," he said.
