A Washington attorney, who
was suspended from membership
in the Congressional Country Club
on River road near Bradley boule-
ward near Bethesda, has filed suit
against the club in an effort to
be reinstated.
The suit was brought in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court by
Bernard L. Eberts, 4613 Morgan
drive, Chevy Chase Gardens. Md.
Named as defendants, in addi-
ton to the club itself. are Wash
B. Williams, president; j. Mark
Price, secretary, and members of
the Board of Governors.
According to Mr.. Eberts' attor-
ney, James H. Pugh, the suit is
the first of its kind to be filed in
Maryland.
Mr.. Eberts states in the suit he
was notified in letter from Mr..
Price May II that the Board OF
Governors had ordered him sus-
pended as a resident member for
six months beginning May 81.
He claimed that he had never
done anything to justify the
boards action and that his con-
duct as a member has always
been above reproach" He also
contends the suspension is "arbi-
trary and lacks the essential re-
quirements of natural justice" !"
since no provision is made in the
clubs constitution for an appeal
If the suspension is permitted
to remain in effect, Mr.. Eberts
asserted. his business and social
reputation" is in danger of ir-
reparable harm"
Mr.. Pugh said Mr.. Eberts was
suspended because he had Sug-

 The arrival of the Princess is to be followed by a long list of festivities where the petite, hazel-eyed brunette will reign as guest of honor. The Anchor age delegation will accompany the Princess to the Ross Mann home for cocktail party which is to be followed by a banquet under the direction of Tom Jones, railroad agent at Seward.

Hobby Club. Sea Hawks Win Final Doubleheuder

In what is likely the final doubleheader for city league basketball this season, the Sea Hawks walloped the DeHorns and the Nobby Club garnered another victory over the Boost CTS. The Sea Hawk reserves held the DeHornS on an even keel for the first half. The varsity in the game during part of the second half opened a passing attack that split the score asun- der. During the time that t1e varsity was playing, the De- Horns did not make a single field goal. The Hobby Club Booster game was well played and enjoyed by all.
 The city league has turned out some fine basketball this year. Friendly competitive spirit was high throughout the season. It is commonly understood that the primary object of city teams was to provide game experience and to help improve the Seward High boys. The players of city teams have done a very good job and have enjoyed partici-

 A considerable portion of the above work was done under the supervision of the late Roland C. Ingram, BPR engineer, who was we'll known in Seward. ll0 Miles Open in 1898
 By 1888 it was possible to drive car from Seward to Hope, a distance of 75 miles, or from Seward to Russian River, a distance of 53 miles. Approxi- mately no miles of road on the kenai Peninsula were open to travel by Seward motorists at that time
 In the early days road build ing was done principally by hand labor methods using sho- vels, hand drills, and hand push ed mine cars. Teams were sell dom used in Alaska due to the high cost of feeding horses. The roads were usually built by sta tion contract with small groups of men contracting to build the road between certain limits de- fined by the engineers stations. The roads were narrow and per mitted only one-Way traffic but were adequate to serve the light traffic of those days. By 1894 improved road construction ma chinery was coming into general use and the roads were being built wider and straighter.
 During World War II there was litle or no road construction done on the Peninsula. Work was resumed in 1946 when the Alaska Road Commission start ed construction of road from the end of the forest highway at the Russian River westerly toward the Cook Inlet towns of kenai and Homer The Kenai road was opened to traffic in 1948 while construction pro- ceeded south toward Homer. Late in 1949 the road to Homer was opened to traffic thus in- creasing the mileage of roads on the Peninsula to a total of 235 miles. This mileage does not include the Johnson Pass road which fell into disuse years ago and is not travellable at present.
 In 1948 road construction in Alaska was greatly expanded and work on Kenai Peninsula roads was accelerated with the start of construction on the Seward-Anchorage (Turnagain Arm) road. In order to better care for the increased volume of work the Bureau of Public Roads established Division office at Juneau under H. A. Stoddart and a District office in Seward under B. M. French. Seward-Anchorage in 1851
 The Seward-Anchorage road from Mile 58 around Turnagain Arm to Anchorage is being con- structed through the cooperative efforts of the BPR, the Alaska Railroad, and the Alaska Road Commission. This 72 mile sec tion of road is being built to modern standards of highway construction and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 1851. Seward motor ists will then have continuous road connection with the States for the first time. This day will be an important one in the his fNv.xy 0f Cox.,orI o,oL @L,1

Horatio Alger never thought of a better one than this.
 Here's the plot, and believe it or not, it actually happened. Civ en: One small high school Pal- mer) consistently batted round by it's big city opponent (Anchorage) in various fields of athletics for the past several years. The small school has as consistently shown improvement, particularly on the basketball court, but just can't make the grade for a win, espe- cially when the chips are down.
 Then, almost with no fanfare at all, the two schools get to- gether for a friendly little track meet one spring, with the big school (Anchorage) set to add still another portion of scalp to it's belt at the expense of the little school Palmer).
 Only this time, 1t was a little different. The big school walked off with field and distance races, but the little school uncorked a sprint ace and middle distance runner Dick Fritz" Caulkins) who set them back on their heels considerably. The going got tougher as the meet progressed, until the last event of the day came up. With the 220-yard dash to be run, both coaches figured their chances. Both knew that the meet victory would depend on the third-place runner in this event. The little school Palmer) could count on it's ace (Caulkins) for first, and the big school (Anchorage) could count on Brown for second. But neither
Valley frontiersman., 1950-05-19
YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE ME, BUT S HELP ME, IT'S TRUE

school could count very heavily on anybody for third.
 So the big schools coach played it carefully. He threw a handful of runners into the race, and three of the handful carefully boxed Dick GeiWitz, as the finish line neared, so that he stood no chance of moving up for a place The big school apparently had the coveted third-place and the track meet cinched, when up pops the Horatio Alger element.
 Ray Leonard, former court ace for Anchorage, was running in a comfortable third spot, with Edi- son Thuma a stride or two in the rear. The two had met before on the maple floors, in past winters, and it was always the big schools Ray Leonard who finished up on the winning team, with all the glory that goes with winning coming his way.
 Leonard wanted desperately to win He tried harder and harder as the finish line neared, leaned forward in his anxiety to cross that line with the point that was needed to win the meet. Then, just a measured 10 feet from the tape, the gods of sporting events, Lady Luck, or a Leonard gremlin took hand. For with victory in his grasp, the Anchorage runner fell flat, to let Thuma come through with the meet-winning third place. Final result-Little school Palmer) 431a points; big school (Anchorage) 4219 points.
 And it really happened, right here in Palmer last Saturday af- ternoon. Shades of Horatio Alger!

PcsImer RifleWomen. Junior Grade, Also Best Anchorage Shooters

Deciding that if petticoats are what it takes to win a rifle match, then petticoats they'd have, the Anchorage High School marks men added pair of the lingerie wearers to it's squad for last weekend's match in Palmer. An all-boy team had been defeated in Anchorage the previous week by the Palmer squad which de- pends heavily on the marksman- ship of Rose Miller and Jean Smith.
 But last Saturdays story was no different than the previous week, except that Anchorage lost by a larger margin. Indeed, Rose Miller badly frightened Leroy Showers, top marksmen in the tri-school meet at Anchorage, by trailing a bare five points behind him in match honors.
 Saturdays individual scores were:

Statistics Show How Palmer Won Meet with Anchorage

Statistics on the Palmer An chorage~ High School track meet of last Saturday, which was won by Palmer by a one-point mar ain, show that all the edge in field events, as we'll as distance races, went to Anchorage first placers, although Palmer runners and jumpers consistently piled up points by getting there second and third.
 At least one new record, the discus throw, was set at the meet ing. Martin Fowles of Anchorage tossed the platter III feet F inch in that event.
 Dick Fritz" Caulkins was the outstanding man in the meet, winning the 440, 100- and 22O- yard dashes, and running anchor position on the winning relay team. Fritz piled up 16s4 points

Yea, Pork and Beef
Advance rs Cents
In Many Stores Here

Retail prices of some veal, pork
and beef cuts advanced 2 to 6
cents a pound in many Washing
ton area stores today.
In other cities advances of from
l to 4 cents a pound for beef,
pork and lamb were reported.
A spokesman for the wholesale
meat division of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association
said the retail increases were due
to higher wholesale prices and, in
some cases, lower receipts of meat.
He noted that the livestock
market has been rising steadily for
several weeks.
One large food chain listed the
following changes:
Porterhouse steaks, 95 to SO
cents pound; sirloin steaks, IS to
80 cents; round steaks, SO to SO
cents; standing rib roast, 50 to 73
cents; loin veal chops, 70 to SO
cents; veal outlets, 95 to SO cents;
center pork chops, SO to IS cents;
end pork chops, 80 to 43 cents.
Egg prices also were up from
last week. The average was
cents a dozen.
Lettuce and spinach were higher,
while snap beans, cucumbers, rad
iShes and onions were lower.

You mean Lowell Stockman?"

think. He didn't do anything and
he didn't say anything. He just

me a creepy feeling. Maybe he

BrookIand Fire Cause
Is Sought by Marshal

Fire Marshal Raymond c.
Roberts today stepped up his
investigation into the cause OF the
four alarm fire which destroyed
the Brookland Bowling Alleys but
admitted clues were slim.
The blaze yesterday caused q
loss estimated now at about $780,
600 instead of the original 500 900
estimates.
More than 40 firemen were in
jured battling the fire which took
3h hours to bring under control
and threatened the entire block
of IL stores. The last fireman left
the alleys at 1925 Tenth street
NE. at o'clock last night. The
first alarm went in some 10 hours
earlier.
Mr.. Roberts said he was inter-
viewing flremen who fought the
blaze in an effort to determine
the extent and height of the blaze
when the first f1remen arrived.
This is an attempt to pin down
the point where the fire started,
