Indians Popped Corn

Popcorn was raised by the Indi-
ans long before Columbus arrived in
the Western hemisphere. 1t became
an important commercial crop
about 1880. Formerly it was sup
posed that the popping of corn was
caused by the volatilization of oil
In the grain. The explosion is due
simply to the formation of steam
within the grain when it Is heated
neither air nor volatile oil, experts
say, Is concerned in the process

Young Go First

Many young birds. including
those OF the Red-Wing, migrate
south before their parents, thus dis
proving the old adage that the adults
guide the young on their first SOUTH
ward flight. In other species the mi
grating young and adults remain in
family groups. Canada geese fol-
low this patter, the families COM
blning into large fiocks but retain
ing their unity. With no calendar or
compass to guide them, birds set
forth along ancestral routes each fall
at much the same time for their
southern wintering grounds and re-
turn as punctually each spring.

Coal Slide
 Kills Miner
 At Jonesville

A 1O-ton slide of coal crushed the life from George Roganovich of Jonesville last Sunday morn ing. MT. Roganovich, who had been employed at Jonesville for the past three years, had been at work in the mine shaft for only half an hour, when he was inn mersed by the gigantic slide.
 Two partners working with MT. Roganovich, Fred Cottrill and Charles Walton, escaped the slide without injury.
 The deceased miner, who came to Alaska from Montana, is sur vived by daughter in Fair banks. He had no immediate family in Jonesville. He was 57 years old at the time of his death.
 Since a slide as large as the one which took the life of the miner is very rare, an inquest was held at Jonesville to deter mine the cause. The coroner's jury, which met Sunday, was un- able to find reason for the slide.
 Men who served at the inquest included Marshal Bill BouWens, Ludlow G. Anderson of the Fed eral Bureau of Mines and Wiley Robinson of the Territorial De- ~partment of Mines. U. S. Com missioner Walter E. Huntley pre- sided at the inquest.

Pills Carry Party Bids

Blue and pink pills that con- tain fun potions for every resi- dent of the Valley, including Wa silla and Jonesville, were dis tributed through the postoffice and at downtown stores this week.
 The pills, transparent capsules, contained a nicer stuffing than any doctor ever dreamed of, for they held rhymed invitation to the Bingo and basket social planned by the Valley Health Council for the evening of April 10.
 The gymnasium has been re- served for that evening. Bingo will begin at 8 o'clock, and will continue until all players are hungry. Then there will begin the auctioning of the lunch bas- kets, brought by each lady who attends the social.
 The money raised by the eve ning's entertainment will go to make up the deficit in the Valley fund of $500 levied by the De- partment of Public Health. The Community Chest was able to aid the Health Council to the ex- tent of only $169.
 Wasilla has volunteered to make up a portion of the total quota, but a substantial sum re- mains to be raised by the local Health Council. It is their hope the proceeds of the April 10 so- cial will meet that need.

Photo Shop Almost Goes Up In Smoke Friday Evening

Again fire narrowly missed de- stroying more Palmer property last week, when smouldering rags in the basement of the Pal mer Photographic Center were discovered last Friday evening before they leaped into flame.
 Daryl Meeks, whose barber shop adjoins the Photographic Center, first noticed smoke and the smell of burning rags. He, in company with Victor Nelson, gained access to the Photo Gen. ter basement through the back and reached the scorching rags. They are thought to have begun to burn through combustion.
 Fridays near-fire was the sec ond alarm in the Palmer busi- ness center within a week. The community has been fortunate this winter, in that no serious fires have destroyed homes or property in the Valley.

Linked To Palmer
 By Telephone

WASILLA-Another step for ward in Valley progress was reached last week, when wires of the Valley Telephone Ex- change linked Wasilla with Pal mer to give the former town it's first direct telephone communi- cation.
 The final wire was strung by owner Maynard Sands late last Friday afternoon. And just as the final connections were hooked into place, C. L. Cad Walder of Wasilla, Jack Maze, president of the Valley Cham Der of Commerce, and Francis Bowden, mayor of Anchorage, were linked in a three-way con- versation memorializing the new milestone in Valley communica- tion.
 That telephone call was com
 pleted at exactly 4:20 Friday
 afternoon. al almost the identi-
 cal zero hour predicted by MT.
 Sands earlier that day. So
 anxious was everyone to have
 the call go through on sched-
 ule. that MT. Cadwalder car
 ried on his conversation from
 his front porch rather than
 wait for the telephone to be in-
 stalled in his home.
 MT. Sands sent progress re- reports through to MT. Maze at the Matanuska Valley Bank dur ing the last two hours of wire work. The telephone exchange manager was assisted in the final day of wire-stringing by Mrs. Sands, who subbed for an ailing exchange employe in order that the hook-up might go through on schedule.
 Once the wire to Wasilla was installed, MT. CadWalder was congratulated on the new com munication service to that town by MT. Maze, representing Pal mer, by Mayor Bowden of An chorage, and by Viola Daniels, editor of the Valley Frontiers man.
 MT. Sands states that there
 will be nine telephones in-
 stalled in the Wasilla area inn
 mediatelY. with added instru-
 ments 10 be allotted 10 that
 area as the spring advances.
 Most of the nine oriqinal
 phones will be placed in Wa sllla business houses. he said.
 MT. Cadwalder, speaking for Wasllla, expressed appreciation TOT the new service now offered to that town. He said he expected the added communication facili- ties to mean much to Wasilla's development. Heretofore the towns only link with other Alas kan cities has been through the telephone and telegraph systems of The Alaska Railroad.
