bill for Park Tract on
MI. Vernon Highway

Once again the Government has
been denied a chance to get free
title to a 1H-mile tract of land for
park purposes on the Mount Vernon
Memorial highway in Virginia.
Representative McGregor, Repub-
lican, of Ohio who earlier had
blocked passage of bill that would
turn the land over to the Interior
Department, did 1t again yesterday
When the measure came up for
House consideration on the unani-
nous consent calendar. Mr.. Nc
Gregor objected. A single objection
was sufficient to block the bill.
Through the bill. the Smoot Sand
g. Gravel Corp, which owns the
Fairfax County property, has offered
to deed the tract to the Government
and to retain for 80 years dredging
rights on the land and on adjoining
Federally -owned property.
The proposal, Endorsed by the
Interior Department, the Park Serv-
ice and the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, would
enable Interior to use both tracts
later as park land and further to
protect the highway area from COM
mercial encroachment, its advocates
argue.
Another bill called on the consent
calendar was passed over without
prejudice on a move by Representa-
tive Miller, Republican, of Nebraska.
It would authorize Che Defense
Homes Corp. to transfer two dormi-
tory projects in the District to
Howard University to house students.

Playful Lake Is A Headache For ARR WOrkmen
Special to The Frontiersman

 When Lake George delivered it's annual flood down the Knik River recently, it inundated the area between The Alaska Rail- roads bridges over the Knik and Matanuska Rivers. Happily, the water did not rise to the height it has reached in former years and damage was negligible.
 A five-man ARR crew, under Jack Scanlon, stood 24-hour duty for a week in the flooded area. They were quartered on a troop sleeper pulled up on a siding near the Matanuska bridge. The crewmen were equipped with an "orange peel" operated by Less Sollee, ex-bomber pilot.
 The big mechanical scoop picked up trees and flood de- bris which had lodged on the bridges and trestles. If flood flot- som is allowed to pile up against the railroads underpinnings, the pent waters can form a dam which may even wash out the construction.
 The flood waters wrecked hav- oc with the homes and feeding grounds of Alaska's wild life, as we'll as threatening man-made structures.
 Rabbits were flushed from their burrows. A cow moose and her calf sought dry refuge on the Palmer Highway one after noon, too the delight of passing camera-equipped motorists.

Legion Starts Excavation
 For New Hall

The American Legion took it's first step toward a permanent hall of it's own last s und y morning. At that time a doZer scooped a 3Ox50 foot basement on the lot just directly across from the Matanuska Hotel.
 Legion plans don't go much farther than the basement exca- vation right now, according to Commander Jack Maze. The or Sanization hopes to be able to erect some sort of temporary structure of cement blocks in the very near future. However, the group is still far short of the S35OO building fund needed for that purpose.
 At present, the Post has about S1400 in it's building fund. It is sponsoring the Michael Cain ma gician show at the Palmer gym naslum next Saturday evening, as one means of augmenting that meager amount. MT. MaZe said plans at this time do not go beyond that shown and the rental of a concession at the fair. How ever other projects will be at tempted if these two do not bring tile necessary revenue to com- plete the Building.
 The Legion head said the ad- vance sale of tickets for the Michael Cain show was going we'll. He hopes to have capacity audience of 300 in the gymnas- ium next Saturday. Tickets will be sold at the door that evening, or they may be purchased at To- cal stores or from Legion mem berS.

A field day at the Valleys Ex- pertinent Station, scheduled for Aug. 25, was planned at last Wednesdays meeting of the agri- cultural committee.

 It was felt that farmers would receive great practical benefit from days observation of agri- cultural practices now in effect at the station.
 The days program, not yet completely outlined, will include a review of the dairy improve ment program recently inaugu- rated by the Matanuska Valley dairymen, as we'll as a study of the latest poultry feeding and management practices.
