Two Make Seven Week Dog Team Trek I'm Arctic

PALMER, Alaska, P)-A Pal mer missionary and friend set out last week on 1,000-mile seven-week swing by truck and dog team across Arctic wastes to Dawson, Yukon Territory, and re- turn. Temperatures in the area frequently drop to 70 below.
 The trek will be made by Ever ett Bachelder, of Palmer's Valley Christian Home for Children, and Lee Barry of Seward, an em- ployee of the Alaska Railroad who was granted three months leave to accompany the missionary worker.
 The two will go by truck to Mile 40, beyond Tok Junction, and make the rest of the journey by dog sled. From Mile 40 they will travel to Tetlin and Chicken, then through the Jack Wade country to Dawson. Their return route either will be via the Alaska High way or the Yukon River to Fair banks.

Monday. January 29. 1851

United Nations forces advance along a 40-mile western front against stubborn resistance. They are reported nearing the main Chinese Red defense lines where 6O,000 Chinese communists are massed. Macarthur was told Red Chinese casualties since Jan. 1 were 10000 dead, and 10000 wounded. Officers express belief the present Hull is a prelude to a renewed full scale assault.
 At Lake Success the Arab Asian bloc adds a cease-fire first stipulation to it's peace conference plan for Korean settlement, and U. s. continues to press for her demand that Red China be named an aggressor.
 In Washington, Gen. Eisenhow- CT is to report to Congress this week on his Atlantic Pact tour. 1t may exert decisive influence on the troops-to-Europe issue. French Premier Rene Eleven schedules a formal talk with President Tru- man in his quest for closer Amer ican-French cooperation under the Atlantic Pact.

 Site Needed
 T propose that our Grange set about the exploration of all fac tors necessary to promote drive for a school of agriculture for Palmer. We should appoint a committee to work with similar committees from all other organ izations and prepare a plan to secure the necessary site of 40 acres or more for, such a school and prepare a bill to present to the legislature.

A definite move to locate a University of Alaska school of agriculture and applied science in Palmer, is. under way, M. D. Snodgrass, former member of the Territorial legislature, disclosed today.
 Strong packers of the plan said they have agreed that the Mata' nuska Valley, highest producing agricultural area of Al a s k a, should be the site of a college which will train students to de- velop the growing potentialities of the Territory.
 Setting forth the advantages of Palmer and the Matanuska Val lev as a site for the college, Snod- grass said:
 'TM Matanuska Valley offers an excellent site for a branch of the University of Alaska for a school of agriculture and applied science.
 we should begin to give more thought to scientific practice and use of what, we have, and estab- fish our center of education closer to the center of population. The

Red Cross Fund
 Drive Nears Goal

The Red Cross drive rolls to- ward the finish line this coming week.
 Homes which have been missed will be canvassed.
 Clubs will have speakers. Busi- ness places will blazon posters.
 ''We know it is a cause to which all should be glad to contribute, " Walter E. Huntley, chairman, de- clared.
 Adjacent farm districts already have been covered by the Boy Scouts. Three cars carrying the Scouts in a one-day drive brought in $208, the Rev. Victor Alfsen, Scoutmaster, reported.
 High car, driven by Mrs. A. L. Bixby, netted $100. Scouts who won the top honors are Lane Johnson, Doug Bixby, Eden Sand vik and Laddy Huntley.
 Two other carloads of Scouts worked equally hard. In the car driven by Huntley were Tommy Sharp, Johnny Mears, Larry Johnson and Errol Hamann. In the Rev. Alfsen's car were Darrell Frank, Neil Herman and Ronny Aklestad.
 We do not know what emer- gency is ahead but we know when disaster strikes the Red Cross will be there and it's up to us to do our share to keep the Red Cross prepared" Huntley said.
