The Valley settler. (Palmer, Alaska) 1937-195?, 1951-11-30

ALL CO-OIos HAVE PROBLEMS
We have just received a copy of
the Pacific Northwest Coo opera t or,
the official paper issued by tho
Pacific Supply Coop Of Wal1a Wal1a
Washington. This is q very inter-
esting issue because it is the pre-
issue Of the Annual Meeting Of the
facts are g1von. ccordipg to re-
ports, the Pacific Supply did a
gross business Of about twenty-five
mi llion doll this year, nth
net margin Of about a million, or
little over four per cent on the
dollar. This big wholesale Coop
has had very large growth and is
the FODDER for supplies for many
northwe s torn co-ops. It has had
Its ups and downs as we'll as many
other Co-ops, but the management
fe1ls that they are on the right
track now because they have CHANGED
their financial struc ture. In
stead Of depending on q revolving
fund taken from the operating cap
1taI each year, they are now soil
ing preferred stock--which returns
four per cent interest. The Pa
cific people found that when they
were starting to grow, their finan-
c1a1 problems grew also. However,
it was believed that when an organ
ization Of this kind starts to ex-
pand it is abs olute1y necessary to
keep up with the new deve lopment.
This requires addtti onal funds to
provide for larger Facilities and
Inc reased invent ies. Also moro
money is required for operating
capita as the acc cunts rec G ivab le
bee one larger This is true in any
business. Whom, and if, any wel1
established business refuses to en-
large their capt tai struc ture and
phys zeal facilities, they are US
ually on the down grade. For, if
the bus ineSs is there to be got ten !,
and the established outfits refus e :.
to expand and get the now business !,
some one else wi II c ONE in and take
nearly all Of the business over. In

still, and hold it's own.
Our Matanusko Valley Coop, is
sub ject to all Of the things that
most other Co-ops are, and We have
to moot tho Same problems. To be-
gin wi tn. this Coop started out
with very little operating capital,
and it has never boon suffic 1ont
for the bus mess we are doing. We
have always managed to got along
and pay our bills and take most Of
the disc cunts that are allowed for
prompt payment or cash. But, a lot
Of things have been nog1oc tod that
should have boon done. Now we find
that after fifteen years Of use,
many Of our Facilities arc almost
fully deprec lated. This inc ludes
cleo trical wiring, ;water supply
pipes and most Of the steam limos.
We haven't been able to koep our
but ldings painted as wo would like
to and some are in bad repair. Now
perhaps s ONE Of our now mombors,
would like to know why this hasn't
boon done--so word Of explonat / on
wi IL proba bly, be welc ono, about
here. =. &'..+
We should remember that our
stockho ldors and produce rs are hav-
ing just about tho Same trouble
expanding too, and they too have
been short Of funds. The parallel
between the Coop and tho mombors
is lot closer than most roaliZo.
Whom tho. members prosper the Coop
prospors, too. In: the carly days
Of tho Coop, thore was g. very
small chance to soil tho farmers
products, and tho prices Woro low.
AS a result Of the shortage Of
funds, both the farmers and tho Co
op have had to get along on what
they could get from time to time.
However, some farmers have managed
to get moro working capital in pro-
portion to their moods than the Co.
op. A few Of our Valley farmers
mado a pretty good take during the
better years, and this is ovidenc ed
by tho fact that several Of our
best farms havo boon sold during
the last few years, and tho owners

"A pleted on a new crash rescue
boat whose hinged tailgate resembles
that of an amphibious landing craft.
The vessel is the pet of the rs men
who comprise the 110Oth Rescue Boat
Squadron at Boiling Air Force Base.
1t was their fast-given aid which
figured so prominently in recent
major airplane crashes in the Poto-
mac River.
A short time ago Rescue Boat
Mark I" was delivered to the Air
Force. The prototype vessel is spe-
cifically designed for saving flyers
who have crashed at sea. The Boston
Navy Yard designed and built the
craft and it was turned over to
Bolling's rescue unit at the Naval
Gun Factory here
Mark Is handled by a crew of FIVE
men, It can carry eight litter pa
tients. A top speed of 205 knots Is
produced by two diesel engines gen.
Grating 225 horsepower each. The
40-footer is equipped with radar
and complete radio communications
system which includes sea-to-ground
and Sea-to-air facilities.

can be used while the boat is speeding
to a shore hospital.
The Air Force has received five
Mark rs for test purposes. The idea
in mind Is development of medium
sized rescue boat for operation In
lakes, bays, rivers and other protected
waters.
The 110Oth has been commanded
since January, 1949, by Capt. Walter
G. Kelley, q, of 1901 HALEY terrace
Sc, who saw rescue squadron work
in the Pacific during World War II.
His rs men include two other officers.
1st 1t. William J. Kearney, 81, of
202 Elmira street S.W., adjutant, and
W/O William Van Steenwyk. 81, of
Boiling, engineering officer The
skipper of the Boiling Mark I is
T/Sergt. william p. Gross. 80, of the
base.
Altogether the l1O0th has 10 boats
ranging in size from % feet to AZ
feet. There also are complete crash
kits for emergency use, which include
axes. saws and acetylene torches for
cutting into crashed planes.
In addition to plane disasters, the
men aid sailboat enthusiasts whose

tailgate, or hinged transom in the
stern, can be lowered into the water
This provides a working platform for
bringing survivors aboard. 1t elimi-

the last war, when it was found that
portage Of injured airmen could COM
plicate their injuries If they were
hauled over the sides, as in earlier
type rescue boats.
Since the tailgate of Mark I can
be lowered to Is inches below water,
litter can be so placed under an
injured man to slide him gently up
the tailgate ramp and into the aft
cabin. where he can receive emer-
gency treatment. So survivors won't
be injured by the propellers, two
aluminium tubing guards are mounted
on hinges on each side Of the stern
and when the tailgate Is dropped,
they are automatically lowered.
Once brought aboard, survivors can
be given a quick physical examination

victims The 11OOth works in close
cooperation with the District Harbor
Police.
A 24-hour watch seven days a week
Is maintained from the headquarters
and alarm tower at Bolling's dock.
When an alarm is received by radio
or over the base ash-alarm phone
system, it is flashed to the men on
duty. AS some of them are getting
ready, others are loosening the moor
Ing lines on the boats for a quick
getaway.
The boat shippers. meanwhile, are
briefed on the procedure to be fol-
lowed In making the rescues. Inas-
much as each disaster brings its own
complications, the procedure cannot
be standardized but must be devised
at the scene. In their work, the men
wear life-preserver vests and also
have on hand specially treated rubber
anti-exposure suits, such as those
worn by Arctic pilots.

Running Water Protects
Farm Family Health
By HERBERT c. ANGSTER

The farmer is every bit as CON
WINGED that his way of life is the
only way as the city dweller is GER
tain that urban life is best. That is
a matter of opinion. What is not 4
matter Of opinion is the inevitable
responsibility of the farmer to do
for himself what metropolitan agen-
cies do for the city person.
Provides Home Sanitation
One of the most important Of these
responsibilities is maintaining good
sanitation conditions. The farmer
must maintain a private water sup
ply, a private system for disposing
of waste, a private milk supply, and,
for the most part, a private food
supply. Because of this, the farmer
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-06-15

must have thorough grasp of in
formation on these matters where
the city dweller need know nothing
of them except, generally, the price
of the service or commodity for
which he pays.
Installing and maintaining an eff
fective electric water system is not
the overwhelmingly expensive un-
dertaking most farmers think it is.
The initial cost Of installation will be
rapidly gained back through in
creased profits, proven by tests to.
come with running water. Mantle
nance Of the system over the years
is a matter of pennies in cost. On
dairy farm, for instance, one extra
pint of milk daily will usually pay
for the electricity needed to supply
the herd for that day.
