Palmer Scout Applies For Valley Forge Trip

Harry Campbell of Palmer, has applied for membership in the Alaska troop of Boy Scouts which will go, to Valley Forge next June to participate in Jamboree of 10000 American Scouts, it was announced this week by Victor Alfsen, Scout leader.
 Reverend Alfsen also is to go to Valley Forge as one of three Scout leaders of the Alaska troop.
 Harry already has earned a substantial amount of his fare for the trip, his Scoutmaster said. In the near future, members of the Palmer troop will launch a fund drive to help supply the remain ing money needed.
 It is planned that 33 Alaskan Scouts will make up the troop sent to the Jamboree. They will leave the territory about June IS: they will spend several days in Seattle at "shake-down" camp, where the, troop will be organiz- ed. From Seattle the boys will spend about 10 days in a sight seeing trip across the United States to Valley Forge. They will visit in New York, Washington, D. C., and Philadelphia before they begin the return trip to Alaska.
 In all, the Scouts and their leaders expect to be gone for about a month.

Complaint Or Not, Taxes Must Be Paid By March First

Complaints were few in numb CT but mighty in volume when the school board sat as a board of equalization last w d n d a y evening, to hear complaints on the districts first tax assessment.
 Tax notices were mailed to all property holders last week. Taxes are now due, and are payable to assessor Ava Saxton, whose of- flee is now set up in the office of Pioneer Insurance. Taxes become delinquent after March l, when a penalty of 15 percent may be added. Interest on delinquent tax es accrues at the rate of one per- cent per month.
 Clyde King, ST., and Max Sher- rod share the honors as first to pay taxes in the Palmer school district.
 The districts tax roll of $40, ,621 falls short of the estimated budget of $44,558.99. James Hurley, school board member, said it was expected that returns still out standing would be sufficient to make up the difference. He warn ed that failure to receive a tax blank still does not excuse prop erty owner from making tax pay ments. s.aEven though the property owner has received no tax blank at this time, ehis: taxes still will be considered delinquent after March

EGG PRICES ARE SLASHED

Valley poultrymen are getting 10 cents a dozen cut on the price of standard eggs and nick el a dozen slice on mediums, it was announced this week by James Wilson, general. manager of the Matanuska Valley Farm CTS Co-Operating Association. The move was announced. at a meet ing of poultrymen last week, and comes as the result of a down ward trend on eggs in Outside markets. = .!...s.. ..
 The new cut means that poultry men now receive 80 cents and 75 cents a dozen for their. standard and medium eggs: A similar cut back has been reflected in retail prices. ..: ..:...
 Mir. Wilson said the new prices had markedly stimulated the sale of eggs this week." and he felt it would not greatly hurt Val ley poultrymen's profits. '':
 Valley poultrymen, as well as dairymen, have been enjoying the benefits of a drop in feed prices for the past several weeks. It was felt this drop will partly offset the cutback in the price of eggs,

 EVERY WINTER we seem to be plagued with the disease known as winter dysentery", when cows go off their feed, get mild or sometimes. severe cases of SCOUTS, and milk production falls off drastically. The heavy producers are usually hit the worst. Here is our veterinarians announcement concerning the cause of the trouble:
 This condition has been in the Valley for many years, and it is in no way connected with the bringing in of new cattle into the community. Winter diarrhea occurs in stabbed cattle during the winter and early spring, and is caused by a germ. Most cases are fairly mild, but the attacks great ly lessen milk production. There is hardly ever any doubt when it makes its appearance in a herd, so pronounced are it's effects. The treatment is one teaspoonful o1 /: creolin in a quart of warm water given as drench once a day for three days"
 This statement comes direct from Earl F. Graves, territorial veterinarian. "=@' l HAVEsHAD the disease in my herd and milk production drop. . ped off about one-fourth. Only one cow had an attack severe enough for anxiety. I did not treat them, except to feed one

An Only
Child
By AnoeIo Potri

An only child loses much that
being one of a group affords. The
affection of brothers and sisters,
the discipline each imposes on the
other, the feeling of unity and
support that the group supplies
are very much worth while. One
child is lonely; a group Of children,
never
An anxious mother. wants to
know if it is wise to bring another
child into this troubled world. We
should not worry about the
troubled world. When was it with
out trouble? All we need to do,
and it is plenty, is to do the duty
that lies nearest day by day and go
on from there, trusting in the
good that always prevails in the
end.
If our forefathers had stood still
in their tracks because of the
troubles that swarmed about
them-enemy indians, enemy gov
|ernments, war, hunger, illness, un-
comfortable houses, necessities un-
obtainable-where would we be?
They overcame greater troubles
than face us and reared big fami-
lies of fine children who lived to
bless their old age.
But we have SO much trouble
with the one child we have. His
father does not get on with him
at all Finds Sc much fault with
him. If we have another child
would the trouble be doubled?"
Not likely. A wise provision of
Providence brought each of us
into the world as unlike everybody
else as could be. Nobody can tell
what the next child will be like,
nor what he will do for himself
and his family. He will come bear
ing his own gifts and they will be
different from his older brothers
or sisters. Why worry? Each child
has something fine in him and If
we cultivate that he will be happy
and so will we.
It does not pay to try to plan
far ahead in the future, to try to
vision what a child may bring into
the family, what sort of person he
will become and try to shape life
for the children and the family
Each must shape his own life. All
any father or mother can do is to
try to make home the kind of
place, fill it with the kind of at
mosphere, in which children can
grow happily.
When there is trouble with a
child the first place to look for
the cause is in the people about
him Usually we find someone
finding so much fault with the
child that he becomes confused,
discouraged and resentful. Praise
does more than faultf1nding any
time, anywhere. Love works mira
cles. I recommend both to parents
of failing children. And a few
brothers and sisters for that one
child would be a great help to
him, to say nothing of his family.

Green Tomato Pie

In North Carolina they make a
green tomato pie that is some
thing out of this world. In the
small towns approaching the Great
Smokes it is a traditional favorite.
To make it. line a pie tin with
pastry, and then lay in layer
of sliced green tomatoes, a layer
of paper-th sliced lemon and a
layer of sugar-repeating the per-
formance until there are three
layers of each. Pour about u cup
of water into the middle of the
pie, cover with pastry. and put
into a hot oven for a few minutes.
Then reduce the heat to mod
crate and bake slowly until top
crust is a golden brown.
You could also use the little
yellow pear tomatoes for this-in
which case sprinkling of ginger
should be added to the sugar.
