 The original six straying dairy men, Leonard Moffitt, Arvid Johnson, Ernest Harrington, Ar thur Holbrook, A. A.

James Wilson, MVFCA general manager, said he had no reason to believe that the six would remain Coop members, and market through its facilities, any longer than the waiting per- iod for legal withdrawal from the membership and the marketing contract.

UP CHURCH WILL BRING
 DISPLACED FAMILY NORTH

A displaced family of the re- cent war, probably from one of Europe's Baltic states, will be on its way to the Matanuska Valley very soon. The family is being brought north under the sponsor ship of the United Protestant Church here.
 The church hopes to welcome a family of four, a father, mother and two children. The family will live on the James Hurley farm, in a cabin now being read jed for them. The father will work as a farm hand for Mir. Hurley.
 Under the sponsorship plan for displaced persons, the family is brought to the United States by the World Church Service Organ ization. The sponsoring agency must provide transportation to the ultimate destination and mast guarantee work and home for the family.
 Rev. Victor Alfsen of the Unit ed Protestant Church said the transportation cost to Palmer, to be borne by the church, would be between $500 and $500.
 The church expects to welcome their ward to the Valley in the next four or five months. Exact time of their arrival is still un- certain.
