CON RESERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW E. HANKS

have been informed that an Agricultural Mobilization Com mlttee has been set up for Alas ka. Don Irwin, director of the Agricultural Research Admins tration, is chairman.
 Committees are being formed in each state and county to assist farmers in producing crops that will best aid national defense.
 I am glad to see a committee set up in Alaska. Farming up here could be plenty vital if shipping really got tough.
 How can this program affect our farming here?
 There is a growing shortage in feed crops in the States. Corn is Tn short supply. Winter wheat and barley crops are also short. If were in the dairy business, I would do my best to make sure l had an ample feed grain supply growing this year. Mill feed might be hard to get or else lot high CT in price.
 You can increase your acres lot by doing good job of fertil- izing. Get that manure out on the land. For the latest word on com mercial fertilizer look over Dr. Allan B. Mick's pamphlet. It is available at the Extension Ser vice office.
 Plan that crop rotation to make the best use of every available acre. I know it will pay out and if the present international situ- ation gets worse, the Matanuska Valley may have to supply food to a lot more people than it does now.

 Of French Canadian stock, MT. Marine was born in Chippewa Falls, Wis, in 1874. With his fa- ther he worked in Northern Wis consin woods in search of new timber stands for the Weyerhaue- ser Timber Co.
 With Weyerhaueser Timber in terests he moved west to Couer d Alene, Idaho, then with the spirit of a frontiersman came North in 1916 to Knik, Alaska, and with his brother Ben, freight ed into the mining area. In 1917 he was teamster at the Matanuska Experiment Station, staying until the station was transferred to Fairbanks in 1882.
 Then he purchased land in the Valley and operated model farm.
 He never turned away a neigh Dor nor spoke i'll of a friend" i" was the tribute paid him.

Takes Lead

Jumping the gun on cleanup week, the Palmer Automotive Service and Storage Go. installed a new automatic rolling door and is applying aluminium paint, plus new sign.
 Might as we'll get rolling early on good move for good town" said Al King.
 Around the Matanuska Coop Lodge, ground was being freshly raked, winter debris cleared off and spring planting plans made, in early preparation for cleanup week.
 Civic efforts were being con centrated to have the city in fit form for the Colony Day celebra- tion. Big question was: will the sun or the citizens fill the mud puddles?

Army Reserve Corps Service EVoIuo+ions Now ln Process

A service evaluation program for the Organized Reserve Corps Is under way, Maj. Gen. Julian W. Cunningham, Commanding General, U. S, Army, Alaska, an nounced.
 The program is designed to ob- tain up-to-date information on the reservist's occupational, physical. personal affairs, and dependency status. All such information will be made current, allowing for the removal from ORC rolls of per sons who are no longer qualified for active military service.
 All active reservists, both off, Ger and enlisted, must participate m the program and are subject to physical examination. Inac- tive reservists near a military post or other government agency with medical facilities will be re- quired to report for an examina- ton.
 Physical Exams
 In this area physical examina- tions will be under direction of the Surgeon, 1st General, Dispen- :sary, Fort Richardson. The Ad- .Jutant Generals Section, Head quarters, U. s. Army, Alaska, is in charge of classification. of re- servists. The names of reservists who fail to comply with instruc- tions are to be referred to the Department of the Army for ac- tion.
 In recent calling of ORC per Sonnel to active military service to meet scheduled quotas it was found that records of the qualifi- cations of reservists did not in tclude all pertinent current infor- mation.
 Status Changes
 Changes which may affect the status of reservist include: mari tai status, number of dependents, physical condition, present civil ian employment, length of over seas service, and similar factors.
 Copies of the ORC Evaluation Program announcement are being sent to all members of the active and inactive reserve by Lieut.. Col. J. E. Mahoney, Senior Army Instructor, Organized Reserve Corps, Headquarters, U. s. Army, Alaska Included in the announce ment is detailed questionable to be completed, instructions for personnel who do not live near a military post, and an explanation of procedures to be followed by the reservist.

HOL l. Y WOOD - The
short but not bic film
career of Charlton HestOn,
one Of television's major
contributions to motion pic
lures, was given a big
bright push towards star
dom recently when Cecil
b. DeMille engaged him for
a starring role i'm his circus
epic, "The Greatest Show
on Earth" He was obtained
on a lOanOut arrangement
from Hal Wallis Produc-
tiOns.
Currently hailed as ga
new tough guy who will go
places" HestOn will play
the role of Brad the circus
manager, handsome trouble
shooter and fighting force
behind the circus. DeMille
wrestled with the problem
of casting Brad for nearly
year, hoping to get a new
conner for the spot who is a
sort of combined Clark
Gable and Alan Ladd.
That III e o n may have
these qualities is indicated
i'm the critics reaction to
his performance in Ozark
City" The portrayal
promted a rare burst of en-
thusiam from The New
York Times - "HestOn has
something more than ap-
pc ranc e to recommend
him he has a quiet but
assertive m g n e t S m, a
youthful dignity and a
plainly potential sense Of
timing. 1t looks as though
Mr.. HestOn has been hope
fully h e a d e d down the
course of Alan Ladd."

The Axe Is
The Path
By RUTH TAYLOR

"The axe is the path into the
forest"
When the first intrepid voy-
ayers braved the unknown. seas
to seek refuge on our shores,
they found here virgin wilder
ness. There were no paths but
those created by the wild beasts
and still wilder savages. With
their axes they hewed out homes
built their villages and erected
their stockades. With their axes
they hewed pathway into the
forest, felled trees for bridges
across turbulent waters, pene-
trating deeper and deeper into
the woods until they crossed the
mountains and re C h d the
plains. With their axes they split
the timber for the wagons that
freighted them to other forests.
These they conquered in like
manner until at last they came
to where the waters of the blue
Pacific Tapped the western shore.
'sThe axe is the path into the
forest"
The free man must ever forge
ahead into the unknown. The
axe is the symbol of his own
strength, of his ability to utilize
his own talents to carve out his
own path into a new world. The
path he hews, others will fol-
low, to go on where he leaves
off. His is the responsibility to
make his part of the path run
true and smooth, that those who
follow after may speed to their
own task.
''The axe is the path into the
forest"
We are in the forest of war.
Only as we WELD our own axe,
Justify and wisely, will we find
the path out. Only as we work
as those earlier pioneers from
dawn until sunset, will we carve
our pathway to the mountain
peaks from which we can see the
plains of peace beyond. Only as
we lop off the non-essential
branches. cut down the poison
growth of hates, suspicious and
prejudice, level the trees that
hide our vision, can we be
worthy followers of those who
made this country of ours. AS
they who preceded us, welding
their axes, built a nation of the
free, so can we, welding our
axes, build a free world. The
power is i'm us. We need but the
will to act.
"The axe, now as always, is
the path into the forest"

Many are not aware that the conges-

Delaware state law, and shortage of
machines by the totalisator company,
which stems from Defense building re-
strictions. The Delaware state law pro-
vides that Daily Double betting may
only be by means of machines. Last
fall Delaware Park negotiated for an
adequate supply of machines, and as
recently as this spring was assured that
they would be available. Now, how

ware Park has done the only remaining
thing, which is to open this popular
form of wagering earlier than custom
ary. The management can put its
clerks on duty earlier, and open its win
dows earlier, and is glad to do so. OBJ
viously, the congestion occurs toward
the end of the Daily Double wagering
period. Those who come early can be
served promptly. All this is due to
Delaware Park trying to give racegoers
what they want, and for that reason it
has restored the Daily Double after
nine years. Again we thank you for
patience and trust that the good racing
available compensates for this incon-
venience, which we hope will be tempor-
airy.
