SO long guys and gals,
Valley frontiersman., 1948-01-21

Don't ask coach L. K. Gibson anything about last Fridays in ter-scholastic clash between the first-string squads of Palmer and Anchorage high school basket ballers. He'd rather not talk about that 5O-16 "whomping."
 But there is one thing about that evening that he likes to talk about, and that's the showing his second squad court infants made in downing the Anchorage men by 27-26 count. He's proud of Thuma, the BendiXen brothers, Lucus, Hyland and Hiber, and he doesn't mind telling it.
 They just couldn't do any thing wrong" MT. Gibson de- clared as he praised the floor play of forwards Thuma, Hiber and Harold Bendixen, and com mended the steady guard game of Walter Bendixen and Hyland.
 Edison Thuma was top scorer for Palmer, dumping in field goals and foul shots for total of nine points.
 The game was a thriller from start to finish, for Palmer trailed

PHS Basketball Squad Leaves For Fairbanks

Nine Palmer basketball play CTS, together with Coach L. K. Gibson and principal James Gray, Jr., boarded a Fairbanks train on Monday morning of this week. They were en route to a two-game basketball fray in the northern town.
 Boys who made the trip in- cluded:
 Harold Bendixen, Wayne Bou- Wens, Don Irwin, Walter Stevens, Earl Onkka, Lloyd Plumley, Bud Billet, Glen Miller and Albert Hutchinson.
 The group is expected to re- turn to Palmer on Thursday of this week.

Basketball To Be Part of Plans
 For Rendezvous

There will be a basketball tournament again during the coming Fur Rendezvous, it was announced at Anchorage this week. This years tournament had been a matter of question for time.
 Palmer high school will par ticipate in the tourney, which will decide the Western Alaska champion. Eight teams will par ticipate, according to present plans. In addition to Palmer, there will be teams from Fair banks, Seward, Cordova, Nome, Anchorage, Kodiak and Kodiak navy high school.
 Once the winner of the double elimination tournament is decid- ed during Fur Rendezvous week, which is planned for the week of Feb. P through Feb. 29, there will be another tournament~to decide the All-Alaska basketball champion for 1948.
 This playoff tournament will be between the winner of the Fur Rendezvous tournament and the winner of the Southeastern Alaskan tournament, to be play ed on March 4, and 6. Dates of this final tournament have been tentatively scheduled for March 12, 13 and 15.

Weatherman Stops Shamrock Wins

Saturdays warm-up games for the Shamrocks, in preparation for the Cordova basketball wars next week, were unexpectedly interrupted by indictment wealth CT.
 The games were cancelled when the Post Transportation Officer informed team managers that no Army vehicles would be allowed to travel the Palmer highway until road conditions improved.
 However, Shamrock manager Art Stacey said both squads, the Medics and a team from the Post Motor Pool, asked for play dates later in the season. It is probable that the postponed games will be played on Feb. 7, MT. Stacey said.

in the first half, only to come back strong for a several-point lead in the third quarter. The score see-sawed in the fourth quarter, as each squad tried des- perately to build lead.
 Anchorage high school players had two chances to knot the score in the last 22 seconds of play, when they had two free op- portunities at the foul line. They muffed both tries.
 The game between the regulars was never close enough for comment, according to MT. Gib- son. A 2-2 tie score in the first minute of play was as near to victory as Palmer ever got.
 The Friday game saw Don IT, win back in the Palmer lineup, for the first time in almost a month, MT. Gibson spoke warmly of the effort he made to rally his teammates to a winning eff fort.

THERE are a good many prob
L lens in the lives of men and
women that boil down to the sim
pie question: care you strong

If the answer is yes, then the
difficulties, the problem, the worry
can turn into actual advantages.
But if the answer is no, this is the
one thing we can't take, the one
situation we can't face, then of
course the thing ends in shrinking
away, in failure, in confusion. We
see all about us the broken, waver-
ing, unsatisfied lives that began this
way.
When you see a tremendously i'm

in fine and benevolent living, it is

going without all the things that
make living gracious. 1t means
watching other persons in appar-
emily easy successes, denying one

ones loved ones unhappy and

What reminds me of all this is a
letter from Laura Davis. She is a

what on earth can be wrong?
The trouble is that the ideal man
is in love with her, they are en-
gagged, everything is - or was - in
line for wedding, and now Laura
is losing her hearing.
Fred, the prospective husband,
was driving too fast one night,
there was one of our so, 900 annual
motoring accidents - Fred's arm
was broken, one girl was killed
and Laura, apparently only badly
bumped, presently developed
hardness of hearing which turned
in a few months to actual deaf
ness.
With a modern apparatus she can
distinguish certain voices, but never
in groups. Radio is lost to her, and
in theaters she hears nothing
She has broken her engagement
and descended into a very purga-
tory of despair. Not that anyone
sees it; she says she keeps every
thing serene on the surface. But
she feels that her whole life is
wrecked. She will not marry Fred;
the darling little apartment with the
balcony must be given up; she
doesn't want to burden anyone with

Shopping Trip Reveals News
About Clothing for Babies
By Ertta Haley

TF YOU'RE dressing the small fry
these days, you'll be delighted
with all the new tricks designers
have put into their clothing to make
them easier to get on, to take of
and, best of all, to wear.
Many new fabrics are on the
market, and we have come long
way from the pale pink and blues
that used to be standard stock in
colors for the younger set. Your
little son may look better in dusty
pink, yellow or aqua than in robins
egg blue. AS long as the clothing
Is mannishly styled, as it is now
for the wee young man, let him
wear the color most suitable.
Little girls may wear pink very
well, but you'll see them decked out
in bright red, royal blue or navy,
and aqua as well as yellow, but
the clothes are feminine.

garments. Members of the younger
set do not wear their clothing for a
long time since they outgrow it so
quickly, but you may have other
children or you may exchange 1t
with another mother. Even if you
do none of these things, at least the
clothing won't look sleazy after a
few tubbings.
Corduroy and seersucker are two
good fabrics because they do not
really need pressing. Then, too,
there are cotton jerseys in the

Heroes Are Forgotten

These boys form our new army of
heroes. We forget them, we rarely
think of what they sacrificed and
what they suffer, but when you
join their company you will find
yourself in the group of the least
unfortunate. Yes, to most of them
mere partial deafness would seem
comparatively S i m p e disadvan-
tage.
Weigh that handicap against your
numerous blessings: Youth, health,
beauty, comfortable means and you
will find the scales still far down
on the right side.
So the situation comes down to
that question that we all must be
asked before we go very far in
this puzzling life. Are you strong
enough to take it? Are you wom-
an enough to go courageOusly on
into happy wifehood and mother
hood, grateful for the innumerable
joys still left you, patient under
the undeniable trial of your al
Fiction?
Science, that has made such mi
raculous strides in this particular
line, may yet relieve you of it en-
tirely. Whether it does or not, in
time you will see Fred face his hard
moment, whatever it may be, you
will see your children put to the
test, you will discover that mere
physical disability is not the most
serious thing that woman may
have to face as the years go by.
and that our happiness, our self
respect, our success or failure as
individual women depends upon the
attitude we take when the inevitable
challenge arises: Are you strong
enough to take it?

Choose Shoes for Fit,
Comfort and Styling

Youngsters shoes are not just
smaller models of grown-up shoes
although they are beginning to look
very much that way. They require
special care to be made to fit grow
ing, active feet, and you should
have the youngster fitted properly
when he is walking enough to need
shoes.
The dainty, covered look will be
popular for little girl shoes and the
casual rugged look will predomin-
ate the little boys field. Cowboy
boots and novel variations of avia-
tor shoes will come into the picture
shortly.
Saddle shoes still continue to be
popular, especially in brown and
white, black and white, and red and
white combinations.
