lcyHighway Stops Traffic Over Weekend

The worst driving weather of the winter season snarled bus schedules and tied up weekend visitors in the Valley last Satur- day and Sunday.
 For the third weekend in suc- cession, a warm chinook wind, accompanied Sunday night by rain squalls and rising to an oc- casional 6O-mile velocity, glazed the Palmer-Anchorage highway with a sheet of slippery ice. Buses from Anchorage slipped through on schedule on Satur- day, but failed to reach Palmer all day Sunday.
 One late bus from Anchorage, due here at 8 o'clock Sunday evening, arrived in the early morning hours on Monday, after sliding into the ditch twice be- tween Palmer and Anchorage. It left the road once more before reaching Wasilla.
 Five cars sent for help, during four-hour period of ditch-wait- ing near Knik, all left the road also. No one was injured in any of the mishaps.
 Schedules still were disrupted on Monday, with the scheduled o'clock bus not leaving Palmer until after 2 o'clock that day.
 Clyde King, Alaska Road Com mission foreman, said weekend roads were "slick as they'd ever been." He issued his regular warning to motorists, saying, Don't travel unless you have to-"
 Questioned concerning tn e possibility of the official closing of the Palmer-Anchorage high way, MT. King replied that of ficial action is not taken by ARC

Ricky's Gone

Has anybody seen Rlcky?
 He's a chartreuse-feathered wolf-whistling parakeet with the manners of a lovebird. In fact it was his affectionate disposition which led to his probable un-doing.
 Ricky was the pet of the L. z. Scott household, and often was privileged to leave his cage and roam about the Scott home. Last week, he was perched on the shoulder of Evon DeLand, chittering af- fectionately in her ear as she went about her work.
 Evon forgot that even a parakeet with a wolf-whistle might prefer wide open spaces to life in a pampered cage with plenty of attention from the feminine members of the Scott household. She opened the door for a moment, and Ricky immediately made his exit.
 He's not been seen since, but there's faint hope that his sturdy disposition might have survived the recent mild nights. So if you hear a low wolf-Whistle somewhere from Valley fields or wood-lots, take another look-maybe it's Ricky and not the lad who lives next door.

Plane Sights Cabin Afire,
 Sends Trucks

That Alaska is a land of ex- tremes in every sense of the word was forcibly proved to resi- dents of the Valley again last week. Both the old and the new met in common effort on Tues day, when fire broke out in the R. R. Mack cabin near Wasilla.
 It was an airplane, more fa- miliar in Valley skies than trucks are on its highways, which first discovered smoke rising from the Mack roof, located three miles from Wasilla on the Knik road.
 Piloted by Captain R. Brasel- ton of the Army's Tenth Rescue Squadron, the plane swooped low over the cabin and then darted off in search of help. Cap tain Braselton pencilled a hur- ried message and dropped it in the center of Wasilla.
 Then, realizing that fire gu p m e nj was unavailable there, and that Wasilla had no direct communication with Palm CT that could bring help in time, Captain Braselton flew on to Palmer in search of added help. He buzzed the business center several times and then dropped second note squarely in front of Bert's drug store. Onlooker's opened the message sack and read:
 House on fire 10 miles west of Palmer. Believe they would like fire fighting equipment On Wasilla highway, left side of road"
 The alarm was sounded at once, and two Palmer fire trucks, one belonging to the Coop and the other the new fire truck of the Valley Fire As sociation, speeded toward Wa silla with help.
 /, The trucks, followed by sev- eral cars with more volunteer firefighters, arrived at their des- tination to find Wasilla high l school students and townsfolk already battling the flames with a bucket brigade.
 A hole had been chopped through the ice of a nearby creek, and water was being car, ried uphill in tubs, washboilers and buckets. Latecomers from the Wasilla area, conditioned to the lack of firefighting equip ment there, arrived in cars with

Don't Burn Trash Beside Tracks

Businessmen no longer may burn papers and trash in open bonfires in the area along the railroad, they were warned this week. Members of the Highway Patrol and the Railroad special investigation service both cau- toned Palmer merchants.
 Papers may be burned in spe- cial incinerators, only if permis- sion is obtained from the local railroad agent, Charles Nelson.
 Any violation of this ruling can result in prosecution, mer- chants were told.
