Woman Tries Death Leap From, Bridge

A plunge into the icy waters of the Matanuska River from the bridge railing, precipitated by a lovers quarrel, ended in no more than chilly ducking for an un- identified Anchorage man and woman last Sunday evening.
 The pair were returning to Anchorage, when the woman suddenly requested that her com panion stop the car. He complied and she leaped to the railing of the bridge, then plunged into the open water below.
 The man, who is reported to be cook in an Anchorage res taurant, followed to attempt rescue. A powerful swimmer, he succeeded in grasping the woman and pushing her to safety. How ever she was so determined in her death effort that she plunged into the water a second time, dragging the man with her.
 The man told authorities later, in making his statement, that the pair spent nearly an hour in the water or on the river shore, while the woman fought off all attempts to aid her. At length her companion said he knocked her unconscious and dragged her back to the roadside.
 The pair were rushed to the Valley Hospital, where the wom- an was kept overnight for ob- servation. Dr. R. E. Garrett said she was badly scratched and bruised, but would suffer no ill effects unless she contracted pneumonia.
 The man was given a change of clothing, after he refused hos pitalization, and he returned to Anchorage Sunday evening.

|. M. Sandvik Sells "A Hospital Bonds In Two Weeks

I. M. Sandvik, one of the 20 captains in the current hospital bond drive, is the Valleys top salesman, it was revealed at last Friday nights meeting of cap tains in the basement of the Lutheran church.
 MT. Sandvik already has sold total of "A bonds, and he's not yet through with his territory, he reports. His return of $2,4OO topped all proceeds reported at the Friday meeting, but there still are several captains who are unreported.
 w. c. Mau, who heads the drive, said Fridays check of the campaigns progress made him feel most optimistic for the final success of the campaign. He stated it was possible that the whole sum of $50,00O might not be subscribed before the cam paign ends on May 5, but he felt sure that a sizeable sum would be on deposit to the hospitals account.
 Members of the hospitals s board of directors already are beginning to formulate plans for the beginning of construction early this summer.
 Largest subscribers in the cur rent campaign are William Head of the Matanuska Hotel and Grasser's Hardware. Each has pledged $500 purchase of bonds.
 Total receipts from last weeks spring recital, presented by the pupils of Mrs. Timothy Hennessey, netted the Valley Hospital Association S1O2.4O. However, MT. Mau reported that this figure is not final, since some tickets and money are still outstanding.

Vegetable Men VIII Fix Growing Quotas Saturday

The next general meeting of the Valley Producers, Inc, will be held at 8 o'clock at the Grange Hall on Saturday, April 24, it was announced today by Glen Woods. This meeting is most important, MT. Woods said, for at this time it is planned to fix quotas for vegetable produc- tion for Army contracts.
 Quota sheets have been mailed to all present members of the Valley Producers. These sheets are to be filled out and returned at the Saturday meeting, so that the contract production can be pro-rated immediately.
 It is possible that there are growers who are not included in in the mailing list, MT. Woods said. However, it is the intention of the Valley Producers to reach every grower in the Matanuska Valley and he asks that every one interested in growing pro- duce designed for sale to the Army attend this meeting. Those who did not receive quota sheets are requested to bring estimates of the type and quantity of pro- duce they wish to grow.
 And all those growers not now on our list hereby receive a very special invitation to be- come a member of the Valley Producers, Inc.," MT. Woods con- cluded. We want everyone inter- ested in vegetable-growing to join with us in order that they, also, may take advantage of the Army contracts negotiated by | the Association"

Gold Miner Found Beside Trail

Winter claimed another victim in~the Valley last week. Edward Casey, an employe of the Snow bird Mine, lies in the Valley hos pital in critical condition today, a victim of exposure.
 MT. Casey spent last Thursday night at Little Susitna Lodge, starting back to the mine afoot about o'clock Friday morning. He made his way up the trail for three miles, before he apparently fell or lay down in the snow, which is several feet deep in that area
 No alarm was felt at his con- tinued absence, nor did the lodge personnel feel concern for his safety, since several persons at the lodge had watched him pro- ceed up the trail for two miles. It was not until early Saturday morning that Casey's nearly life less body was discovered. It was estimated that the man had lain for 24 to 30 hours in the snow during last weeks record cold weather.
 He was rushed to the Valley hospital Saturday m orni n g, where attendants said all his limbs, his hands, feet, face, nose and ears were severely frozen.
