Larry, a teen-age pianist, is sponsored by the Matanuska Valley Farm CTS Cooperating Association.

 Larry was born in Kelso, Wash, but has lived in the Val ley for the past 10 years. He is the son of MT. and Mrs. L. c. Stock of the Coop Fountain, and is employed during the sum mers by the MVFCA as a clerk in the Trading Post.
 The contestants principal in- terest is modern music. He cou- ples that interest with a con- panion flair for modern danc- ing, and is best known among student friends for his accom- plished jitterbugging and his "boogie- -woogie" improvisations. Larry will be heard on the 12:30 D. m. fair broadcast this Satur- day afternoon, in company with the latest entrants in the beauty contest.

 She expects this summers sightseeing among the tall buildings will be a much more spine -tingling experience than driving through New York traf- fic on wintery streets was. That was just another days work to Rusty, who has been pushing her own truck over icy Alaskan highways since her establish ment of a hauling business in Palmer back in 1885.

The Massachusetts artist, who is best known for his marine oils of the Eastern seacoaSt, has met his Alaskan student by let ter only. The two became ac- quainted when Rusty wrote the artist to question him concern ing points of technique. Her let ter recalled to him the picture published in Holiday magazine last year, which showed Rusty at an outdoor easel at work on another of her Alaskan scenes.
 The correspondence continued last winter and led to the artists invitation to Rusty to come out side and study this summer.
 She has looked forward eager ly to the trip, although she was

Rusty Flies To Boston Art Lessons

After Is years of dabbling with oil paints for her own amuse- ment, Palmer's Rusty Dow was off for the states this week to register for her first art lesson. Those who have seen Rusty's panoramic murals, her colorful oils of Alaska's scenes, and more recently her whimsical studies of Alaskan child life, will doubt the serious need for that art lesson.
 Rusty goes to Rockport. Mass, just north of Boston, where she will study under Stanley Wood ward. Mir. Woodward's studio is at Rockport, and each summer he selects a few students to study under him there.

TH0RLEY LOSES F0UR-DAY FIGHT FOR LIFE

Battling against almost inn possible odds to what doctors first felt was at least an even chance for life, Frank Thorley, an Alaska Railroad employe, died in Providence Hospital at Anchorage last Sunday. The man was the victim of an acci- dent attributable to last weeks heavy rainstromS.
 Working as a member of Steve Ostrander's crew of the ARR commissary department, tn man was assisting in the dis mantling of the mining camp at Eska. He climbed a power pole to take down a transformer. Earth at the base of the pole had been looSened by last weeks doWnpours, and the pole toppled over, carrying Thorley to the ground and crushing him under the heavy transformer.
 Examining physicians said the accident crushed the pelviS of the injured man, broke his back and inflicted internal in- juries. They expressed amaze ment that rescuers had been able to remove him to a stretch CT without causing death. He was brought to the Valley Hos pital by ambulance from Eska, and day or two later removed to Providence Hospital in An chorage by special rail ambu- lance.
 Dr. James Brandon, ARR phy- sician, praised local physicians and nurses for their care of the injured man. He said it was only their constant vigilance which kept Thorley alive. Eleven trans

Diary Gives Hint Of Violent Deoth For Prospector

Taking a load of freight to Whiskers Camp" That note, dated April ' in the diary of Paul Barnett, and the reappear- ance of two husky dogs. alone, at Sheep Mountain Inn are the two meagre clues which hint at possible violent death for The 60-year-old prospector who lived alone at the mouth of the Lit tie Nelchina River, beneath the frigid shadow of Little Nelchina glacier.
 Members of a rescue crew from Fort Richardson'S Tenth Rescue Squadron today were attempt ing to follow the leads in the hope that they will bring them to MT. Barnett. The crew knows that MT. Barnett never reached his upper camp, for his cabin was visited there and found abandoned. They think that the two and a half miles of trail be- tween the cabin at the lower camp and that at Whiskers Camp may reveal some trace of the proSpector.
 Friends of Barnett, who lived 13 or 20 miles from Sheep Mountain, through some of the widest and most treacherous country in the north, feel sure he is dead now. The dogs ap- peared at Sheep Mountain sev- eral weeks ago, but at first no alarm was felt, for it was taken as an indication that Barnett was on his way out over the trail.
 When almost a month had passed with no word from Bar nett, Thomas HinshaW of Sheep Mountain notified Mrs. Dorothy Saxton, U. s. Commissioner at Palmer. Mrs. Saxton in turn
