Even though net proceeds from the recent basket social and bin go evening sponsored by the Valley Health Council totalled $191.91, the Council this year has found itself unable to meet the annual quota of $500 assessed by the Territorial Department of Public Health, it was reported at last weeks Council meeting.
 No immediate solution to the problem presented itself at that meeting. Reasons for the short age were several. Wasilla, asked to make up $50 of the quota, was able to contribute only $45. The Community Chest drive, of which the Council was a mem Der, fell far short of its antici- pated goal.
 It was suggested, that since the Valley had been without the services of a public health nurse for one quarter of the past year, territorial offices in Juneau be asked to reduce this years quota by 25 per cent. The Council agreed that this was the best pos sible solution to the problem.
 Members of the Council dis cussed at length the relinquish- ment of the nurses apartment last year, but no action stemmed from the discussion.
 Miss Christine Heller, nutri- ton consultant for the Territorial Department of Health, sketched developments in nutritional work during the past year, in her address of the evening.
 She said studies had been con- fined to Eskimos living in the Arctic for the past several years

F|ashy Cooper Faces
Fernandez as 1913
Ring Season Opens

Promoter Gabe Menendez opens
the 194s boxing season tomorrow
night ut Turner's Arena, using as
his main attraction ls-year -old
Jimmy Cooper who flashed to prom
inence with only q few bouts late
last year. Jimmy, q Washington
colored featherweight, will meet Or
lando Fernandez, who comes from
Tampa, In the eight-round feature
bout.
Fernandez, who claims the South
srn bantam title, has the edge
on Cooper in professional expert
snce, but the local boy has demon
suated plenty Of ability and a lot
Of punch. Cooper rocketed to the
top here by chilling Puggy King
Ia four rounds, and then showed
that was no fiuke by stopping Lucky
johnson In i've in the last 1947
show at Turner's.
In al, Cooper has had only six
professional fights, but he gained
considerable ring savvy in the anna
teurs here. He's demonstrated that
he can take it as well as dish 1t
out. In stopping King, he beat a
boy who had chilled six opponents.
He's q combination boxer -puncher
with speed to spare, and particu-
larly Is sharp with a stinging left
hook and jab.
An eight-round added attraction
brings out another local favorite,
Stonewall Jackson, against Charley
Bennett, also a Washington prod
uct. Recently Jackson beat Willie
Cheatham in Baltimore in a hot
lo-heater. Bennett has been around
quite 4 while and has the expert
ence that might prove helpful
against the stronger and younger
Jackson.

Mercer against Lucky Stephens,
and Speedy Robinson against Kid
