TURKEY AT BENSON FARM

Local dogs will have to get on the ball if they don't want their traditional prerogatives usurped by lesser domesticated fry.
 Such was the opinion of Mrs. Russell Felzien as she gave an ac- count of her recent reception at Mrs. Hennlng Benson's farm north of town.
 She drove up in the yard, she said, and a big dog came out 70 the car wagging his tail in joyful greeting.
 Then a little dog came out wag ging his tail in the same friendly fashion.
 A turkey gobbler followed as she started to alight from her car. The turkey gobbled angrily in frenzy of falsetto, gesturing with wings that scraped ground with ominous determination.
 Mrs. Felzien naturally thought the bird was only bluffing so she continued with her alighting. But then the turkey put up his dukes. With a left and right, he struck with his claws. He flew at her and went on striking.
 Mrs. Felzien admitted retreat to her car.

local Men Freed By Big Brownie

Marvin Slaughter, who heads the Alaska surface water investi- gations for Geological Survey, re- turned to Palmer for the week end last Friday with an exciting bear story pointing up hazards of summer field trips.
 Ii seems that Sunday, July l, Slaughter and Bob Bronson were in the Lake Clark-Lake Iliamna region across the inlet from An chorage. On the advice of Elmer, an d trapper who claimed he'd never seen a bear in all the 10 or 12 years he'd lived in those parts, they had left their rifles behind as they walked upstream looking for a gauging station site.
 About a mile and a half up the Tanalian River, they suddenly came upon big brown bear no more than 100 feet away. He was quite a young bear, not over seven or eight hundred pounds, but he charged on the instant

first tree he could find It was only four or five inches in diam eter. and its branches folded un- der the weight of heavy logger's boots. Up Slaughter hurried and when he reached the top, he was still climbing.
 Bronson's tree was 30 feet dis tant He climbed halfway up be- fore discovering it was rotten. Down he plunged to find another tree. Luckily, the bears attention was focused on Slaughter. The small girth of his tree discour- aged the bear, and after a few moments indecision, he skulked away out of sight into the brush.
 The two men stayed treed for Is minutes more. Then they hied themselves back to home base.
 That mile and half back was a long, long walk, Slaughter said a week later.
 Armed with rifles, they return ed to the spot next day; but no bear was in sight.

All the forces of nature con- bined to help make the first an- nual picnic of the Matanuska Val ley Breeders Association a huge success.
 Tuesday, July 10, was the day selected for the convocation of the dairymen and their families at Barry's, on Finger Lake. High light of the occasion was the din- ner held at about one o'clock. For once Alaskan picnickers were forced to find shady spots for ta- bles. We usually write to our folk Outside how we select nice warm places to set our tables whenever we eat outdoors. But this time was an exception. We are hardly stretching things when we say it was almost hot. Anchor age reported a high of 02 and someone said that Palmer had 83. Anyway, it was nice to sit in the shade and enjoy eating the delicious food brought by wives of the dairymen.
 The men in general charge of the dinner were Parker Lester, Eugene Kirsch and Arvid John son. Of course, they were ably assisted by several of the women. It had been previously decided that we were not to talk shop, 10 make this real getaway" from the usual and everyday. The idea was carried out even to the serV ing of cream for the coffee-cans of evaporated milk were used! But we drew the line on marga- rine-none vas used on our rolls.
 We just felt like being lazy, so after the dinner, instead of in- dulging in sports as had been planned, groups just sat, or lolled around and visited. Some daring souls took boat rides on the lake and the young fry went in swim ming.
 Many folk visited together who hadn't had such chance for years. Harmony and good will prevailed over the entire group of some 80 dairy folk. Dairymen have proven to be the best CO., operators in the world, and thls group which has gotten together to handle it's dairy breeding prob- lems, is no exception.
 Artificial insemination is used in most of the herds of the Valley now. First heifers are just now coming into milk production, and are showing themselves to be superior animals. The Red Dane breed is being established. They seem to be hardy, docile and easy feeders. With careful, continued breeding practices, the Matanus- ka Valley may some day be able to. show to the world an example oEcommunity, cooperative dairy breeding and an established loca breed, which will stand out, fal above the common and ordinary
 The future of dairying in this section of Alaska rests largely in the hands of these folk wnc gathered for their first annual picnic at Finger Lake Tuesday.

Opponents May Meet
In Copper Tax Dispute
BY the A.seeia.ed Press

Congressional leaders moved to-
day toward compromise on a tax
some of them contend is cutting
down imports of vital copper
needed in the military buildup.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
of Connecticut told reporter he
had suggested that a group of
Senators who want the 2-cents-a-
pound import tax on copper lifted
meet with another group. headed
by Senator Hayden, Democrat. Of
Arizona, who have resisted past
efforts to suspend the levy.
The copper tax, suspended for
nearly 10 years during the World
War II era, went back into effect
last July l when Congress failed
to extend the suspension.
President Truman said recently
he would ask Congress to vote a
new suspension. Opponents of
the tax claim it has shut off i'm
ports from some Latin American
countries because they could make
more profit selling the metal to
other countries.
Senator Mcmahon Speculated
that supporters Of the tax who
want to protect American mining
in peacetime might agree to a
sliding scale under which the tax
would become effective only If
copper prices 60 down.
The need for copper in the de-
fense program was emphasized
again Saturday when the Govern
ment barred non-essential use of
the metal in 800 civilian products,
beginning next March /.
