Women of +he Moose Inifiofe Mrs. Lucas Into Membership

Mrs. Leo Lucas was initiated into the Palmer chapter of the Women of the Moose at the last regular meeting of the organiza- ton, 1t was announced today by Dorothy Anderson, publicity chairman for the lodge.
 For the evenings program, ladies of the Lodge listened to Viola Daniels, editor of the Valley Frontlersman, explain how the Valleys newspaper is put togeth- CT. She traced a news story, from the moment is goes into a re- porter's notebook, through it's de- velopment in the hands of an editor, a linotype operator, a printer and pressman, until it finally emerges in the columns of the Valley Frontiersman.
 Lodge members expressed in- terest in the several presses in the shop of Matanuska Press, where the newspaper is published, and asked many questions about their operation. They were sur prlsed to learn that the shop boasts the only rotary press in Alaska, although that press is not used to produce the Frontiersman. Lodge ladies were invited to inspect the shop of the Matanuska Press, when either the Shopping

 with either of the above men at once. The plea for help with housing also is being circulated through all Valley organizations which meet in the next 10 days.
 Only matter discussed at the Wednesday luncheon was the pro- posal, advanced by Russell Eel zien, that Palmer be declared off-lmits to Fort Richardson per sonnel during the current polio epidemic there. Members sug- geSted that the Chamber take no action until territorial health of- flclaIs recommend preventive steps. At this time, Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, territorial commissioner of health, has stated that quar- antlne measures are intellectual and unnecessary.
 A letter from James Pinkerton of Ketchikan Cold Storage, re- cent visitor to Palmer during the Alaska Moose Association con- Vention here, expressed great in- tereSt in the future business po- tential of Palmer. MT. Pinkerton said his firm had capital to in vest, and would appreciate in- formation on the type of business or service needed here.
 The letter stated that the com pany now operates several utility services in Alaskan and state-side cities, but that the firms financial interests are not confined to that field.
 Chamber members voted to an- sWer the letter, outlining Palmer's most pressing needs as being for water system, an adequate tele- phone system and quick-free 'lant for processing Valley-groWn 
 A proposal was submitted to rect a permanent welcome to 'almer" archWay across the An horage-Palmer Highway at the ntrance to the town. It was de- ided to ask other service organi- ations to help plan the project, which may be either an arch or. monument. L. w.

 It was reported that the planned Alaska day money making cheme, utilizing punchboards, to ecoup Colony Day losses, was indefinitely postponed. Punch cards are not available locally.

It's official now-fall came to Palmer last Tuesday night, Mrs. Oscar Beylund, weather observer for this area, reported today. That night, for the first time this sea- son, the mercury dipped to freez- ing, she said. The temperature Mrs. Beylund recorded was an even 32' F. However, she con- ceded that her observation post is in the banana belt region of the Valley, and that freezing tenn peratures were recorded, unof- ficially, in other Valley locations several nights ago.

 The longshore situation recent ly became acute due to the in creased military activity on the coast, 1t was stated Vessels load ing Army and Navy cargo have priority on gangs. Any left over after meeting the military re- qulrements are pro-rated among the commercial carriers.
 The longshore union on Puget Sound is attempting to help the situation by developing pool of workers outside of union mem bership. However it has been found that the union cannot train men fast enough to meet the growing demand.
 It has been suggested that the Army create labor battalions to assist with the longshore work, but no action has been taken on that suggestion yet.

for distribution by late Novem- Der.
 The defense committee this week turned it's attention to transportation problems also. Oliver Ankka and Ed Christen- sen will head that part of civilian defense work. In the event of an emergency, the pair would have full authority to requisition any vehicle necessary to carry out their duties.
 Plans are being formulated for practice air raid drills. When an evacuation plan is worked out in detail for Palmer school children. a test drill will be run. Valley residents will be notified in ads vance, so that they will not be needlessly alarmed by the air raid warning signal.
 Meanwhile the committee is proceeding with the proposed plan of blood-typing all Palmer school children, if parents approve. Chil- dren whose parents give written permission will have their blood typed and will be issued record cards.
 The committee meets again next Monday evening at eight o'clock for further planning ses- sion.

Paul Revere's Ride

In connection with the 175th anniversary of
his famous midnight ride, the Library of Congress
is exhibiting Paul Revere's own account of his
excursion as we'll as the more romantic version
of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Those who
read both texts still may find themselves puzzled
rs to what really occurred on April 1919, IT'S
One fact, however, which does emerge from care
full study is that the event was planned. 1t was
not by accident that the patriot silversmth was
alert and ready to ride and spread the alarm"
Revere was member of an organized group
of mechanics in North Boston who had been
watching the British for long while. He knew
that certain arms, ammunition and food supplies
had been accumulated at Concord. When he
learned that the soldiers of King George III were
moving toward destroying those stores and like
wise toward capturing John Hancock and John
Adams, he took steps to thwart their purpose
and he succeeded.
The two lanthorns" in "the north church
steeple" were prearranged signal that the red
coats were boarding boats for the expedition.
Seeing the lights, Revere rowed across the
Charles River, secured ordinary cart horse in
Charleston and rode to Lexington, notifying
"almost every house" along the way that the
British were coming. He did not reach Concord
and thus did not accomplish all that Longfellow

Spring Really Is Here

OF all the signs that spring is here none is
more convincing than the first appearance in its
Seventh street and Florida avenue habitat of
that familiar species, the full-throated beacher-
lite. There are other signs of spring that cannot
be overlooked, OF course-the herring run in the
river, the blossoming of the cherry trees Sunday
afternoon traffic jams and those hardy perennials
in Washington, the OAR and the American
Society of Newspaper Editors But none of these
things can compare with the roar of the. crowd
as the President tosses out the first ball, the
umpire's cry of Play BALL, and the crack OF the
bat that signals the start of another big-league
baseball season.
The opening game brings out the fans, re-
gardess of how slim the Mats chances may be
as flag contenders. And they could not be much
simmer than they are on this opening day of
the 1850 race. Baseball is baseball, and even If
Bucky Harris boys are rated by most of the
experts as strictly cellar material, the fans will
flock to Griffith Stadium as they always have
done on opening day. Besides, there are new
attractions this year-including the costly Mr..
Noren, who celebrated his debut in an exhibition
game at the park the other day by slamming
homer over the right-feld wall So, if the wealth
erman permits, another American League season
will be off to good start this afternoon. It's a
sure sign not only that spring is here, but that
summer is just around the corner.

The female is smaller, about feet

Wild turkeys-indeed. tame turkeys.

of the pheasant family.
Once they were regarded as totally

There are five forms, including the

Spanish conquerers, cruel but capable
men, carried the turkey from Mexico
back to Spain, about 1880.
At that time, the wild turkey was the
only sort of turkey in North America.
The turkeys sent to Spain increased
their numbers. and some of them were
taken to France and England.
From those countries. they were
brought back to America
The common turkey. as we know him
today, thus returned to his native shores.

which is remembered for the nrst two battles
fought between American revolutionists and
Crown forces Blood was shed in open conflict.
AS T. w. HigginSon appraised the outcome,
Every American colony now recognized that war
had begun"
But the midnight ride of Paul Revere is i'm
portant ITS years after 1t happened not merely
because 1t ushered in the defintive struggle for
national independence What the Boston silver
smith contributed to his country was the example
of his vigilance, his diligence, his courage and
his willingness to assume personal responsibility
for freedom The repetition" OF his ride today
on r street to call attention to the Kefauver bill
for home rule" for the District of Columbia has
the merit of Revere's own devotion to a just
cause.
