pr. Clarence Bailey, late of Kodiak, found Palmer and the Matanuska Valley to his liking on final inspection trip last week. The doctor, a general prac- titioner, will open offices here on Oct. 1, he said.

Sportsmen Plan Alaska Convention Al Fair-Time

Next weeks mail will carry in- vitationS to delegates from sportsmen's clubs and organiza- tions throughout Alaska to at tend a meeting in Palmer on Sept. 3, 4 and 5 for the purpose of forming territorial sports mems organization. This was the decision of the board of direc- tors of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen at last Mondays regular meeting.
 The plan, as suggested by Club President L. c. Stock, would call for an annual convention in the territory. MT. Stock said he felt such an organization would fur ther the aims of sportSmen everywhere, and would be of great help in enforcing a pro- gram of wild life conservation.
 The board also discussed rules for the coming territorial small bore match to be held under club sponsorship during the fair dates of Sept. 3, 4 and 5. It was decided MIRA rules would prevail. An en- try fee of S10 for a five-man team or $2 for an individual will be charged. Further match de- tails will be arranged by the committee, which is headed by Claude Carroll.
 It was suggested that a pro- gram committee be made a part of the clubs formal organization, in order to plan for the years entertainment for meetings, as we'll as special social events. No actin was taken on this sugges- tion.

ARR GIVES
 SEVEN HUTS FOR 1O-YEAR TERM

Concession and exhibit hous- ing problems of the Matanuska Valley Fair Association were un- expectedly smoothed this week, with the announcement that the Association had secured seven Quonset huts from The Alaska Railroad on a 1O-year loan basis.
 The huts are now located in the railroad yards at Anchorage. They must be moved within 30 days, or the Association forfeits it's right to them, Fair Manager Charles Dillon said.
 MT. Dillon and M. D. Snod- grass, chairman of the fair board, spent Monday in Anchor age to complete negotiations for the huts.
 The agreement completed with the railroad allows the fair to make use of the QuonsetS in any manner they wish, so long as they are not sold or transferred to another owner. Railroad offi- cials agreed to allow the Associ- ation to make necessary altera- tions in the buildings to fit them for fair purposes.
 MT. Dillon said it was probable the huts will be torn down and removed to Palmer under a contract bid. The fair manager at first considered moving the Quonsets intact, but heavy equipment is not available for their loading and unloading.
 The matter was to be discussed at Tuesdays fair board meeting, and call for bids probably will be issued next week.

Who are the legally qualified and official school board mem berS for the Palmer school dis trict? That was the question with which the five elected dis trict trustees Wrestled principally last week, when they met on Tuesday evening.
 Acting on the assumption that they legally entered on their term of office when balloting voted the school district into eX- istence, the five were sworn into office by U. $. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton, elected their officers, and determined their length of office by lot.
 With those chores taken care of, the five men then settled down to a discussion of the du- ties and obligations ahead of them. Since district affairs are new to Palmer, it was decided to contact Anchorage school board members and Anchorage Super intendent c. c. Caldwell to ask for advice on procedure.
