Housewifery Worries Occupy SpOrtsmen, Planning for October IA Game Dinner

Dishes, spoons, how much cof- fee to buy, and a dozen other housekeeping details plagued the membership of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen this week. The club members were making final plans for the annual game dinner, to be held in Palmer Gym on Oct. 24.
 It was voted that the organiza- ton should attempt to buy, through surplus, four cases of cups, silver service for 200, and 100 plates. The cost would be borne, in part, by the $250 per person charge, for game dinner tickets.
 Club president Bill Smith re- quested that all committee heads meet with the board of directors at next Mondays regular meet ing, to complete planning for the event. Those committee heads include:
 Gertrude Felzien, hall decora- ton; Nina Stock, table decora- ton; Esther Brock and Marie Westenbarger, kitchen; Roy Brock, carving; Clair Stock, dance.
 Some of the clubs members protested the S2.50 dinner charge, saying it was unfair since mem bers must kill the game, then pre- pare it for the dinner, and then must pay $2.50 for the privilege of attending. Last years charge was only S1.50. President Smith called for a vote on the question and the protest failed to carry.
 It was announced that the jun for rifle team, to be sponsored this year by instructor Ercego- ,cich of Palmer High School, would practice on Thursday eve- nings rather than Wednesday, since Wednesday is a regular club meeting night. Hereafter Wednesday will be reserved for

 Chatham told this story:
 He recognized the Russian, in civilian clothing, in a West Berlin nightclub.
 He threw his arms around me and we had a good talk. He asked if I would like to take a trip with him and I accepted"
 The next day the Russian took Chatham to the Soviet sector of Berlin, put on the uniform of a senior Red army officer and took a jeep from the Russian motor pool.
 He parked his way through half |, dozen checkpoints, explaining his American companion as friend from one of the East Euro pean satellite countries.

Everyone is happy that the road out to here is finished and are looking forward to increased travel out this way.
 The hunting around Council has been pretty poor this season, with ducks, geese and ptarmigan all be- ing scarce.
 Four bears were seen recently in the Council area by the Army Geodetic groups, being sighted by helicopter. One pilot chased a grizzly in his craft so long that the bear collapsed exhausted.

PLUG "POINT a.; OPPOSE
nTIDELANDS" STEAL

Asserting that President Truman's
point Four program, extending con-
structive aid to underprivileged areas
of the world, will do more to es-
tablish lasting world peace than all
the billions we are presently spending
on armaments, South Valley County
Farmers Union in quarterly con-
vention, April %, enthusiastically en-
dorsed this phase of the administra-
tion's foreign program.
South Valley also re-affirmed their
opposition to HR 1891 which would
turn off-shore (so-called "tidelands')
oil over to a few states and or their
assignees, such as Standard, Texaco,
etc.
Support by resolution was given
to the Brannan Plan, S 1871, for
1OO% parity for family-type farm
ers; federal aid to education, S 246;
expanded social security, HR 5000,
and S 1888 to divorce the Farm Bu-
reau from the Extension service
Take Ecton to Task
Noting that Sen. Zales Ecton had
designated eva and MVA as &c. ex-
periments leading toward socialism
which have sapped the strength of
many other countries now repudiat-
ing it . -, South Valley challenged
the reasoning of his statement by
citing the example of IVA, in let
ter to the Senator.
Stated the delegates:
eve wish to point out the magnif-
icent example of IVA in which not
only political democracy has been
strengthened but economic democracy
as we'll. You call upon the government
to spend more for defense-that is
armament-and squander less for
what you have called "socialized med
icine," lest it weaken us as a nation.
Is there anything, Mr.. Ecton, that
builds stronger nation and Gre
ates a bulwark against any potential
enemy, either within or without,
more certainly that society in which
it's people are strong in health, Sc
cure economically and receiving the

tected at the outset are permitted to

gedies.
Magazine Riddles Publicity Claims
The magazine riddles the pub
Iicity claims made by the ANA for
existing voluntary" insurance
plans, "the coverage of almost all
of these policies is very made
quate."
"Virtually all of these people are
covered for hospital benefits of
some kind, though often meagerly,"
the magazine points out. "Only about
half are covered for surgery AND
A PITIABLE PER CENT ARE
COVERED BY RELATIVELY COM
PREHENSIVE PLANS.

reasonably adequate medical care
at cost that anyone can afford" J."
Short shrift is made by the maga-
zine of Taft's "pauper" medicine
plan-which would give aid only
to those who sign a means test that
they're too poor to pay. Such
scheme completely fails to meet the
problem, Fortune" stresses.
The magazine finds flaws in the
administration program, and it goes
on to advocate what it dubs "pro-
gressive Republican Ian" sponsored
by such senators as Ives of New York
and Flanders of Vermont.
Administratio Proposal Favored
That plan, like the Administration
proposal, would be national in scope,
but would have the government step
in to extend the voluntary plans to
all persons by a system of subsidies,
rather than inaugurate its own uni
versal health insurance system.
Whether one plan or the other is
better may be a matter of argument.
The hierarchy of the ANA and Taft
Byrd reactionaries oppose both. Or
ganized labor generally is convinced
that h Administration plan S
clearly the best.
Be that as it may, the "F Fortune"
article accomplishes this much
it lays the ghost of "socialized medi-
cine" skaters an issue Senator
Taft has hoped to exploit in 1850,
and marks a turning point in
struggle which is bound, sooner or
later, to end in a victory for real
national health.

Willard Fraser, Billings real eS-
tate man, Saturday filed his petition
for nomination on the Democratic
ticket for second district congress
men. He will oppose State Auditor
John J. Holmes, and Billings At
torney Andrew Sutton, in the July
Is primary.
In filing, Fraser stated.
II hold that the good earth was
provided by our creator for the bene-
fit of all mankind, and it is clearly
within the province of Government
to aid in the most advantageous cul-
tivation of the land and develop
ment of all our Natural Resources
so that all our people may gain there
by.
at seems clear to me-" Fraser con-
tinued. "that it should be unthink-
able for our Government to permit
laws (such as the Kerr Classical
Bill which Congressman D'Ewart
voted for, and which President Tru-
man vetoed) of property violating
basic human rights to the extent
whereby we might have unemploy-
ment and families lacking homes.
When that situation exists, then it
must become the duty of Government
to rectify those laws. Families proper
ly housed in their own owned homes,
or living on their own owned family
type farms, and otherwise gainfully
employed are our nations most prec-
ious possession, and our greatest bull
wark against Communism. These are
fundamental rights, and if, in the ex-

denied; if un-needed and aging labor
ers are cast mercilessly upon the
scray heap, then will our entire
Democratic system be placed in
jeopardy"
Fraser is a veteran, and was over
seas (ETO) with the 9Th Infantry
Division as a Sergeant.
Fraser was recently instrumental
in obtaining a Twenty Acre Tract
for a City Park and School area
for the City of Billings, and has
spent much time and effort work
ing for the construction of Yellow
tail Dam, as we'll as other projects
of worth for his city and state.

This turn-back in the face of

Have you any information as to
who is responsible for the failure

would require multiple-purpose de-
velopment. Because the major
sources of water supply have a con-
siderable power potential, it is evil
dent that power production reven-
ues would play major role in re-
ducing irrigation construction costs.
While some objection has been
made by Canadian authorities that
per acre costs for irrigation would
be out of all reason, from a long
range view there appears little merit
in that argument. The Americans
have always considered the overall
social benefit as an important factor
in assessing the value of any project.
Any fair division of these interna-
tional waters will establish for all
time to come, the means of develop
ing a prosperous agricultural econ
omy in the present "dry belt" along
with a tremendous untapped source
of power In the long time view the
initial construction costs appear of

One thing is certain. Unless the
United States does go ahead with Sc
curing an equitable division of this

be lost to us forever. Once the Can
