Sportsmen To Meet Wednesday Euening

Members and everyone inter- ested in becoming a member of the Matanuska Valley Sports men are reminded of the regular March meeting of the group to be held Wednesday, March 3. That meeting will be called to order at 8 o'clock in the Grange hall.
 Organization of the club into groups of interest in the various phases of club activities will be discussed.
 Following the business session, Mrs. Maude Hosler will show movies of wild life taken in Mt. Mckinley national park.

SPORTSMEN'S DIRECTORS PLAN COMING MEETING

A discussion of general plans for Wednesdays membership meeting occupied most of the time of the board of directors of the Matanuska Valley Sports men last Sunday evening.
 The question of utilization with the National Rifle Associa- tion still was unanswered at the Sunday meeting. Ralph Good rich and Claude Carroll wrote the Association requesting in- formation on the status of the local club, which now has paid-up membership of 52. The letter also contained complete information regarding rifle ranges planned by the club and stressed the interest of members in both small and large bore shooting.
 The directors hope to have def mite information on the subject by Wednesday evening, when the club meets as unit.
 L. c. Stock reported that per- mission had been obtained to use the Grange nall for membership

Telephone Owners Still Planning
 Extended Service

Plans are still in the making for an improved telephone sys- tenn in the Valley, if Valley resi- dents want that service, May nard and Dorothy Sands of the Valley Telephone Exchange dis closed this week.
 They report that they intend to extend service as far as pos sible with present facilities, but it is their hope to replace their equipment with new, if Valley residents request augmented service.
 The Sands have mailed post cards to every electrical user not now a phone subscriber, and they request an answer on the return postcard enclosed. They say they'd like to hear, even if no phone is wanted. And they're particularly interested in having reasons for the request for serv- ice, or no service, in the remarks blank on the postcard.
 The owners of the Valley Tele- phone Exchange expressed ap- preciation for the cooperation of subscribers now served by the outmoded equipment. It is their hope that those subscribers may be better served in the near fu- ture by new and improved equip mnet.
 A telephone directory of Val ley residents, printed elsewhere in this issue, lists more than 80 phone subscribers. This means an increase of more than 50 over the subscribers named in the first published list only a few months ago.

Red Cross Drive Still Not Ready Here In Valley

Planning details for the Red Cross drive in the Valley still were not quite complete at press time today according to an- nouncement from Bill Bouwens, Red Cross chairman for Palmer. MT. Bouwens said he expected to be able to make a complete announcement concerning the 1948 goal, drive dates for the Valley and this years drive chairman, by the weekend.
 The Anchorage drive began on March 1, and workers are con- centrating efforts toward reach ing a quota of nearly $15,00O in the first week of the month-long campaign.

Electric Shop ToOpen Soon

The Valley will have a new electrical shop, dealing in cleo trical appliances and equipment and in electrical contracting, within the next two weeks. The shop, to be known as the B and c Supply, will occupy space in the Palmer Automotive Service building.
 Owner E. L. Baty has leased half the space in the garage, and will be ready to do business in his new quarters as soon as a partition can be constructed and garage doors rehung. MT. Baty expects to stock complete line of appliances, motors and cleo trical supplies, although he will not be equipped to handle stoves and refrigerators at once.
 Mrs. Baty will assist her hus- band in the shop. The couple, who have lived in Anchorage for the past year, formerly made their home in Texas.
 The Batys plan to be per manent residents in the Valley. They are living, at present, in their trailer house which is parked behind the Palmer Auto motive Service building.

meetings.
 The group discussed immedi- ate organization of skiing group. MT. Stock said he had discussed leadership of that group with Russ and Rusty" Dow, who promised to be pres ent at the next meeting of the membership. Tentative plans for a skiing outing for next Sunday were discussed. They will be presented to the membership for approval.
 Committee heads reported briefly on the activities of each group. Full reports will be made at the next membership meeting. It was decided that all minutes of the directors meetings also will be presented at membership meetings.
 Membership goal was set at double the present 52 by early summer. An open invitation was extended to all Valley residents interested in the Sportsmen to attend the March meeting of the group.

Elks Lodge
 Coming Here On March 13

Because Louis Odsather, now Exalted Ruler of the Elks lodge T Anchorage, was initiated into hat order in Palmer just 10 ears ago, Palmer will be the 7cene of another such initiation n the evening of March 13.
 That evening a special train rom Anchorage with a party of 200 Elks and wives will arrive n Palmer to initiate class and institute a Bills club here. A dinner will precede the initia- ton, at which visitors will be honored guests.
 Following the initiation, for which a list of 14 prospective Elks is already registered, there will be a public dance to which all Valley residents are invited. Music for the dance will be SUD- piled by an orchestra which the Anchorage lodge will bring with them.
 All local members of the Elks lodge are working on prepara- tions for the event. Wives of Elks held a planning meeting Saturday night, and members of the Elks met Monday to com plete their plans and name indi- vidual committees.
 L. c. Stock is general chair man of the planning committee. He is assisted by Fred Wallace, as we'll as by all 47 members of the Elks now living in the Val ley. T. Cadwallader, Heinie Sni- der and Walter Iceland of Wasil- la are also assisting in plans for the entertainment of the An chorage visitors.
 The initiation and dance will be held in the gymnasium of Palmer school.
 Further announcement of en- tertainment plans, in which the entire Valley may participate, will be made at the end of the week, chairman Stock promised. Arrangements are already in progress to provide special dec orations and window placards to welcome the visiting Anchorage ties.

PHS Wins
 TourneyGame

Stinging from two sound spankings on the Anchorage court in the Fur Rendezvous tournament, Palmer's quintet pooled rabbits feet and lucky pieces to grab a piece of luck big enough for a win on their third try.
 Defeated first by Anchorage and then by Seward, Palmer's Moose turned the tables on Cor dova's squad to chase them around the court for 63-14 vic tory. That win gave Palmer boost up from the cellar, for a final ranking of fifth in the six team tournament.
 Billet, Onkka, Stevens and Hutchinson, the basketball vet erans on the local squad, made the last game of the tournament, and the final game of their high school careers for all but Hut crimson, their opportunity to show the Palmer youngsters how to ring up basketball tallies.
 Hutchinson was low point man of the quartet with five field goals to his credit. Stevens was good for 13 points, Billet for IS, and Onkka added a solid 20 markers to the Palmer total. The youngsters were all score less, with the exception of George Pederson who made good on two free throws.
 Names of Palmer players lied to appear when honors were passed out at the tourna- ment banquet on Friday evening. Fairbanks and Anchorage split first and second-team honors be- tween them, with Steele of Seward, named guard on the second team, the only outsider to appear on the lists with team members of the top pair in Rail- belt basketball.
 Kodiak won the team trophy award for sportsmanship. Kodi- ak was in fourth place in tourna- ment standings.
 Fairbanks high school upset Anchorage in the tournament finals to win the right to appear against the champions of south east Alaska for the territorial title. The northern five, playing inspired basketball, topped the over-anxious Anchorage squad throughout the title game. Con- sistently worried by the fact that the Fairbanks five was de- termined to score a large black mark on their undefeated rec

The Score Didn't Tell All the Story

In the last edition of this newspaper, the gen
eral drift of the Nse Chinese football story was
that the Nisei ran all over the Chinese Americans
last Sunday at Broadway playfied.
The Nisei Junior Vets-the fellows who were in
actual grid combat, the fellows who had their faces
dirtied in the mudtell us that the Chinese fought
well and that the Chinese, too, had several out
standing stars
Roy Mar, two-year rtternan at Garfield
high school, was rock-like bull on defense for the
Chinese aggregation. "Roy stopped our line bucks
time and again, said one of the Nisei Junior Vets.
Mar, playing a roaming center, had more than his
share of dumping would-be Nisei touchdown pro-
ducers.
Eugene Ko and Bill Chnn were two other Chi
nese lads who made the going rough for the Nisei
Junior Vet backs.
Glen zee, who was one Of the whistle tooters,
was unable to play for the Chinese team because of
an injured knee Yee, We understand, was to be the
spearhead of Chinese passing attack which was
skipped that wet afternoon due to the slippery ball.
But, regardless of the score, ITO, both the Nisei
and the Chinese Americans had one whale of a
time in the sea of mud.
