Jackie Smith Swaps Chances for Grown For Diamond Ring

It shouldn't have been done. It was a plain error to invite folks to drop in and see Jackie" Smith, last weeks announced queen can- didate of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen. Benjamin Cabo ac- cepted the invitation, liked what he saw and slipped a diamond on Miss Smiths finger. Since he in- tends to follow that diamond with a Wedding ring on June 4, she's automatically out of the queen race. Contestants must be sin gle.)
 So, this week the Sportsmen pondered the matter again, and then decided to stand by their Smith decision, at least. They selected Jean Smith, Jackie's IT, year-old baby sister, as their choice for queen honors at the coming Sept. 1, 2, 3, 4 fair.
 Jean is a junior at Palmer High School. She's been Valley resi- dent since the age of two, when she arrived here with her colonist parents, MT. and Mrs. William Srnith.
 Jean, too, is interested in shoot ing. She is member of the Pal mer High School rifle team, and was a member of the Valley Frontiersnan rifle squad entered in last winters Merchants Handi- cap Shoot.
 However her athletic inclina- tion extends to other sports, too She enjoys basketball and played on the Rocket squad last winter
 Jean has bright brown eyes and brown hair, and fairly brims with energy and the joy of life. She works at the popcorn stand at the Valley Theatre several evenings a week. The Matanuska Valley Sportsmen ask that everyone look the other way when buying their popcorn-they don't want to have to choose another candidate before fair time.

Colony Days Wagon Race 10 Be Quite an EverE, if Drivers, Wagons, Horses, Etc. Can Be Found

} From all advance interest ex- pressed, the covered wagon race of the Colony Day celebration is going to be the featured event of the two-day festival, program chairman Al Hagen said today.
 Of course, there are one or two minor details still to be ironed out-among them, the ferreting out of two teams of horses, four sets of harness, two wagons, and lady driver for one of the com peting wagons. To date, Granny Burnett is the lone contender en- tered in the race.
 However there's rumor afoot that Wasilla would like to make this event a sectional battle. There're those who say that Granny" would find a worthy opponent at the reins in Wasilla's Ilah Senske. But Mir Hagen says only time will tell the name of the other contender in the race.
 In the meantime, anybody got a horse-or- a suit of harness-or a wagon? Hagen could use some of each.

 TRIES TO STOP

To-day we are faced with a crisis in Alaska-the problem of where the new capitol of Alaska is going to be-"
 With these words, Stanley Nc Cutcheon of Anchorage, candidate for the territorial house of repre- sentatiVes, called on the Valley Chamber of Commerce to act to halt the territorial board of ad- ministration's announced inten- ton of locating the new territorial office building in Juneau. This is in direct opposition to house di- rectiVe passed at the last session of the legislature, MT. McCutch- con pointed out.
 The house candidate recom- mended immediate and direct ac- tion. He proposed that a wire be addressed to Governor Ernest Gruening protesting the action. He suggested that if the objection went unheeded, Palmer should seek the support of other cities of Alaska, particularly in the Third Division, and should take steps to instigate legal action to stop the plan for constructing the building in Juneau.
 MT. McCutcheon said that he felt the people of the soon-to-be state of Alaska should have a voice in determining where the capitol of that state should be To- cated.
 At the close of McCutcheon's address, the Chamber voted to take immediate action. Upon the motion of James Hurley, the fol- lowing telegram was drafted and dispatched to the Governor (other copies are being airmailed to the (Continued on Back Page)

Although the YWCA didn't come
right on the city's start 100 years

its official debut here in 1894 From
humble beginnings the Y has ex-
banded until today it offers clubs,
classes. hobbies and health educa-
ton program for women and an
extensive Y-Teen program.
And with the pioneer spirit of the
last Sc years still strong, the fall
