moose and bear.
 The Skilak hunt was success full, beyond even MT. Lucas ex- pectations. It was spiced with an element of danger, too, when the party's boat hit a submerged rock in Skilak Lake and sank within 30 seconds. The party was not far from land, however, and the guide salvaged equipment, camp gear and hunters. Aside from the icy ducking, neither huntsmen nor equipment suf- fered.
 At Skilak, Governor DeBias- lambert bagged moose, two black bears and a grizzly bear on a clock-like schedule. The party established their camp three and a half miles from where the plane left them, on the day of their arrival.
 Next day, by seven o'clock in the morning, the visitor already had felled his black bear and by one o'clock that afternoon, he had bagged a grizzly.

MERCHANTS, CIVILIAN DEFENSE COMMITTEE URGE ALL FAMILIES TO STORE STAPLE FOODS

Articles on the list will include flour, sugar, coffee, shortening, baking powder, beans, dried fruits, canned milk and the like.
 The grocers estimate that the emergency ration shelf could be stocked for a family of four at a cost of not more than $75.
 The civilian defense committee has further prepared for emer- gency by naming a rationing board, which will act if the need arises. Members of that board include Hugh Johnson, Barbara Smart and E.. J. LeDuc.
 The board will work in co-op- eration with all merchants. Mer- chants and committee members together are ironing out details of a workable plan. The food storage plan and the rationing board both are recommended measures by merchants and com mittee members alike.
 In order to inform Valley folk of the measures the defense com mittee is planning, the group ex- poets to mimeograph small booklet of instruction, it was re- ported this week. The committee hopes to have the booklet ready

A committee of Valley mer- chants, among them Jan Koslosky, Everett Yohn, Bob Johns and Art Stacey, doubled the civilian de- fense committees recommenda- ton for food storage at a recent meeting. ":
 Earlier the committee had an- nounced it's recommendation for a two weeks supply of staples to be kept on hand by all Valley families, in order to be prepared for any emergency. Local mer- chants made that recommenda- ton even stronger, urging that the stored food be sufficient to meet the family's food require ments for 30-day period.
 They estimated that they could store, in business warehouses and basements, an additional month to six weeks supply of food. thus assuring Palmer of a two months supply of food, even if transportation lines to supply sources were cut.
 The food stored should be staple supplies which will not spoil, the merchants recommend ed. The committee is compiling specific list of food items, to be ready for publication next week

Guide Takes Governor of nch-Occupied Germany On l3-Day Hunt For Bear, Moose And Caribou

His one regret was that time prevented a further jaunt in search of a brown bear.
 MT. Lucas found the visitor a thoroughly accomplished hunter, intent on doing his own stalking and making preparations for the kill. The governor is a 12-year veteran of African big game hunts.
 Personally, the guide found the 44-year-old Frenchman an in- tensely interesting individual. ''He spoke beautiful Oxford Eng fish and he was wonderful shot," Lucas summarized.
 He was a veteran of World War II, in which his wife was war victim.
 The Governor expressed great satisfaction with Alaska and it's hunting, and promised to be back again one day for the brown bear time forced him to overlook on this trip.

Housings Short, High, Reclamation Workers Find
LOCAL-ITES ACCUSED OF PROFITEERING AS RENTS ZOOM UP

The vanguard of Bureau of Reclamation engineers and pro- fessional workers, who began ar irving in Palmer this week, are facing an acute housing shortage and skyrocketing rentals on those quarters which are available, Jack Maze told the Chamber of Commerce at this weeks meet ing.
 MT. Maze made a strenuous ap- peal for cooperation from all Palmer residents and business men, in an effort to curb the profiteering trend which appar- ently threatens. He told of an in stance in which he had been promised a furnished house, for a Reclamation family, at a figure of $95 a month. Two days later, when he returned to make final arrangements, rental had jumped to $125 a month and much of the furniture had been removed.
 With a payroll of more than a million dollars a year to be spent in Palmer, as the result of loca- ton of Eklutna headquarters here, the banker warned local residents must make every effort to be cooperative. The selfishness of a few still might result in the location of those headquarters elsewhere.
 As the first of IS families be- gan moving in this week, MT. Maze and J. L. Sullivan, also working on the housing problem of the Reclamation staff, had only three homes to offer the new corners. They must have another 12 housing units, either apart ments or houses, to offer others within the next week or two.
 MT. Maze emphasized the fact that the newcomers are family people, almost exclusively, who will be Palmer residents for at least five years. Family size varies from that of a man and wife only to that of a man. and wife and five children. They all must be satisfactorily housed in Palmer before mid-November.
 It was asked that anyone with quarters for rent, either apart

Summer. Spring or FalI 1950's a Long. Dry Year In Mofonusko Valley

A bath-less October threat ems for all Valley residents. unless the long past-due fall rains make their appearance soon, Clayton Esslinger of the
 Matanuska Valley Farmers Co-Operating Association said today. :...=."-
 Water woes, reported ended several weeks ago, really are just beginning, MT. Esslinger said. Now that Coop water lines have been mended and all leaks sealed, there isn't enough water to run through them.
 We're catching all there is, but there just isn't much to be caught" the acting manager explained.
 Frank Clark of the Coop maintenance crew visited the source of supply this week, and found the area very dry.
 It all adds up to-yeS- that's right-more shutoffs. A mid night to six am. shutoff ef- fective throughout the entire water area went into force at midnight Wednesday. It will continue until a more adequate flow of water reaches the Co., Ops storage tanks.

"One of the finest hunters and sportsmen I have ever hunted with"
 That was the way H. DeBias- lambert, governor of the French occupied sector of Germany, ap- peared to his guide, Leo Lucas of Palmer.
 MT. Lucas has just returned from a 13-day hunt with the Frenchman in the Lake Louise and Skilak areas. Col. Bernt Bal chen of the Army's Tenth Rescue Squadron also was a member of the hunt party.
 Governor DeBiaslanbert slipped into the United States and Alaska only for the purpose of adding some of the territory's big game pelts and antlers to his trophy room at home.
 The hunt party went first to Lake Louise, where the governor stalked and shot a caribou.
 From Lake Louise they went to Skilak to establish camp. In that area, they expected to shoot both
