In spite of a ater-than-usual start this year, six Valley girls re- gistered and qualified as candi- dates for the honor of being crowned Queen of the Matanuska Valley Fair.
 The six girls pictured on this page have all worked hard. Rainy weather and in most cases, no sponsor, has made the ticket sell ing bigger task than in past years. Previous to this year, spon- Sors were required of each candi- date. However, board members felt it would induce more girls to enter the contest if sponsors were not required this year. Until the final count is made, it will not be known how many tickets have been sold, but it appears as though as many will be sold as in previous years.
 The contestants have distribu- ted ticket books throughout the Anchorage-Palmer are as and some in Seward.

Dewey Impressed By Valley Dairy Farms

The weather fouled up most of the plans for Gov Thomas Dew ey's visit to Palmer Monday, au- tomatlcally cancelling the sched- uled Chamber of Commerce luncheon and substituting a stay of the whole party at the Mata nuska Hotel Monday night.
 After morning of overcast skies and low ceilings which ob- scured entirely the surrounding mountains, the sun burst forth Monday afternoon mocking well come just before the Army Air Force plane arrived from Nenana at the Palmer Airport.
 Governor Ernest Gruening stepped off the plane first, fol- lowed by Governor Dewey, inn maculate in a gray-striped double breasted suit and we'll polished shoes. The New York governor turned on his famous smile and described himself as glad that they'd finally made it. He vas surprised to see the crowd await ing him at the airport.
 Sorry we couldn't get here earlier, he said, ''but we heard you were souped in down here. We came as soon as we could"
 Then he asked about accomoda- tions for the night. Jack Maze as- sured him that accommodations could be had at the hotel for the whole party.
 Eagerly Dewey met the assemb- led dignitaries many of whom were presented by Gov. Gruen- ing; Walter Huntley, Jim Hurley, Jack Maze, Don Irwin, Clair Stock, Dr. Lee Mckinley, and host of others who had been wait ing at the airport for nearly three hours.
 Graciously, he posed with Gov. Gruening for photographs.

23.-Dedicated to missions Of
peace, bat ready also for the grim
tasks Of war, the giant liner SIS
United States, was christened al
colorful ceremonies here today.
Under a scorching sun, Mrs.
Tom Connally, wife of the Chair
man OF the Senate Foreign Rela-
tionS Committee, smashed a bot
tie of champagne against the tow
ering bow of the largest and fast
est passenger ship ever built in
this country.
AS the bottle broke, wine
sprayed all over Mrs. Connally's S
dusty pink dress suit, but she
faced the cheering crowds with a
broad smile while the 81 -500-ton
vessel moved slowly Sternward out
of the drydock in which she was
built by the Newport News Ship
Building and Drydock Co.
Quick Conversion Possible.
Just before the christening,
Senator Connally and two other
speakers. taking note of the cur
rent international developments,
solemnly remarked that the beau
tiful new queen of Americas mari
time passenger feet can be con-
verted quickly into troop trans
port.
The 51,500-ton liner, exceeded
In size only by the English Queens
Mary and Elizabeth-will have
accommodations for 1000 passen-
gers and crew of 1000. AS a
troop transport she could carry a
full division to any port in the
world without refueling.
When she goes into service early
next year, the American Nation
will be competing with European
lines in earnest.
AS Vice Admiral E. L. Cochrane,
Maritime Administrator, said at
the ceremony:

J. B. Woodward, jr., president
of the Newport News Shipbuild-

to the big crowd that had arrived
by special trains and in auto
mobiles. Compared with sliding a

of the thrill long associated with

But Mrs. Connally was thrilled
Mr.. Woodward carefully coached
her on how to break the bottle.
She knew, as everyone in the
crowd, that she must break it or
the great liner would be consid-
cred a ship of i'll fortune.
She took a batter's stance and
grasped the neck of the bottle
with both hands. When she bat
ted it was as if she were hitting

The whistles blew and the tugs

How the Pioneers
Made Kentucky Rifles

Like the pillow and the ak, other
tools used in winning the wilder
ness, Kentucky rifles were made
at local forgeS. Sometimes the bar
rels were welded together piece
by piece, lengthy and laborious
process. Triggers and trigger
guards were beaten out on an an
vii and shaped with a file. Iron
workers who learned this trade in
Pennsylvania spread out over the
colonies ana set up gunSmith shops,
often in small settlements near
their frontier customers. The early
rifles employed flint lock to ig-
mite the powder charge. Models
made after 1920 used the small
sure-fire percussion caps-copper
primers containing mercury full
inmate. But toward the close of
the Civil War breech-loaoing guns
and metallic cartridges were in
troCuced, ending century of SUI
premacy for the Kentucky rifle.

In memory of Mrs. Carrie L,

She Is Just Away
[ cannot say 49, and ! will not say
That she is dead she is just
b away
With a cherry smile and wave
of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair
1t needs must be, since she lin
gers there,
And you-O-you who the widest
yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return.
Think of her faring on as dear
In the love of There, as the love
Of Here,
Think of her still as the same,
say:
She is not dead she is just away.
