Mary, in 1915. The old Cornelius place was located about three miles northeast of Four Corners.
 It wasn't until school teach CT stopped off in the Valley en- route to her first Alaska post on the Koyukuk River that Al Wal ter put an end to his bachelor career. He was about 50 then and the school teacher, Miss Anna Cornell, was Al. Miss Connell never reached her Eskimo school. Quickly Walters sealed his fate. His wire. to Miss Councils family was terse but definite, T have met your daughter, and she is mine."
 MT. Snodgrass remembers Mrs. Walters as a good farm wife. She raised chickens and put up about everything they needed on the farm. To the Daily Mail, Mrs. Walter bragged about her Alas kan strawberries five inches around, turnips weighing 25 pounds, nine pound beets and the finest oats in the world. The Walters had one son named Rus sell. The family left the Valley in the fall of 1883 after selling their farm to Harold Thuma.
 The fourth bachelor waited even longer than Walter to mar ry. Adam Werner had started homesteading in April, 1914. It was 1929 when he married a pret- ty young English girl whose mother had also married in the Valley.
 Some Stayed Here
 Although the Walters left Alas ka behind, the three other fami- lies cast their lots with Alaska and stayed to watch their early dreams come true. The Jimmy St. Clairs are living near Seldo- via now, but the Cornelius fam fly and the Werners brought their families up in the Valley. Roy Cornelius and Adam Werner died several years ago, but their children carry on here, and are beginning to establish families of their own, the third generation in Alaska. Mrs. Werner recently

Picture of Valley Od-Timers MT. and Mrs. Al Walter Evokes Memories of Pre-Colony Pioneer Days


 rated a picture and a long story about his tomato growing in the Charleston, West Va. Daily Mail.
 The arrival of the story here recently started off an epidemic of reminiscing about days when the Valley numbered a dozen or so families as settlers.
 The Daily Mail story concerned Mir. and Mrs. Al w. Walter who live in Charleston now. Mr. Wal ter is 80 years old and grows to- matoes which were ripening the middle of May on plants measur- ing five and half feet tall He had all the local experts baffled by his non-spraying method of growing tomatoes. He claimed that he'd learned how to dispense with such unnecessary fu S through his growing experiences in Alaska, i.e., the Matanuska Valley. There, he claimed, folks often had to pour boiling water on the ground to thaW it out for planting. Reasoning that pests m the ground caused tomato blight, he applied the Alaska scalded earth technique to kill the pesty things. His successful application of the theory astounded the eX- perts.
 Old acquaintances of the Wal ters in the Valley had little to say about these tomato theories, but they added great deal to the newspaper articles information about the Walters in the Mata- nuska Valley.
 According to M. D. Snodgrass, Al Walter started prospecting around the Chickaloon district around 1910 or II. At first he came down in the Valley to visit his brother who had homestead ed the present Henry Harrison place a mile or so out of town on the Wasilla road. Later Al pur- chased the farm where the Harold Thumas now ive-house and all, and settled down to grow crops.
 He was a big farm operator here in the Valley, Snodgrass re- called. One year he grew 40 tons of potatoes. Every year he'd sell his potato crop in Anchorage. He was the manager of the first farmers coop. There weren't many growers in the Valley then, according to M D., but they or ganized and operated out of Mat anuska, where they used big warehouse for storage. One year, these farmers harvested a bump CT crop of 5000 tons of potatoes. There was no big army post near Anchorage then, and they sold only 600 tons of the total-the rest of the potatoes routed. That nearly broke the Valley.
 Early Valley Romance
 Most of this time, Al Walter had been bachelor. In the early Valley days there were only dozen families settled on home steads. There were few like Cap tain Axel Olsen who brought his whole family, his cattle, and his tools hauling everything by sleigh over snow-covered trails from Knik to their homestead near the Matanuska Experiment Station. There were several bach elors, and the early Valley mar riage of four of them still stand out in the memories of the old timers as outstanding events. Jim ,,a1, Ct Clnir 1aaot hi ic 11rifo arOl1nd

 Mrs. Marshall Hoppin of Anchorage made the delivery of freshly cleaned and mended gar ments which were stacked to the roof in the back seat and floor of her car The ACCA has given up the second hand clothing store will understand what she meant.
 Mrs Mary Cornelius returned to the Valley about two weeks ago after completing IA months of nurses training at school and three Seattle hospitals. She is staying with her daughter, Mrs. Ralph Moore. After the Fair, she says she will have to go back to take her exams and look after her folks. Captain Axel Olsen is 35 now and he needs attention. He and Mrs. Olsen, who continues fairly we'll" are living near Se- attle.

Military Retirement

On July 80 you published letter from
observer" who states that military men
retiring at so, So. and "a years of age
should not be allowed to do so as ''they
owe something to the Government"
Does observer" feel that 40 years
service still leaves an Academy graduate
indebted to the Government for paltry
four years of college? What does he
think Of the GIs who served a couple of
months and can now be educated, have
Job preference. and buy homes for less
down payment and less interest than an
Academy graduate-or civilian?
Personally. feel that my husband.
who has now served is years since he
was educated by the Government. has
long since repaid his debt. Fifteen years
of no home life, long absences even dur
ing peacetime, frequent shifting of our
home from East to West, North 10
South, and very inadequate pay, long
ago became monotonous for his family,
who would like to live normal lives.
Perhaps observer" would like the
debt served out by an officers children
and his children's children. Otherwise
I'm afraid most men in their COS are
going to continue to retire-and feel
that they have completed their servitude
to the taxpayer.

Differs With CoIumnist
Tired Navy Wife.

Dorothy Thompson's two recent ar

vocative style. But there are some simple
matters Of fact on which must differ
very strongly with her.
Miss Thompson ascribes political as

day Arab world to the example set by
Israel's terrorist bands and to what she
considers Western mistreatment of the
Arabs during the last 80 years Of "divid
ing, ignoring and insulting the Arab
world" Actually any history Of IslaR
and the Arabs Is simply studded with
cases of political assassination and polit-
ical violence.
Neither Zionist influence nor Western
attitudes can be held responsible for the
wholesale assassination Of the Name

the present Egyptian dynasty. I re-

Pukistun

A. H. Tabibi's letter July Is questions
the veracity of the Associated Press re-
port on 'Pakistan-Afghanistan border
incident"
Among the independent and eminent
correspondents who have visited Pakis-
tan's tribal areas in the northwest, I
may mention the names of C. L. Sulz-
berger Of the New York Times, Percy
Wood Of the Chicago Tribune and w.
Gordon Graham Of the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. None found any burning
desire amongst the tribesmen of our
northwest frontier for "Pukhtunistan."
AS one tribal leader said to Mr.. Brown,
What is this Pukhtunistan? In any
case. we do not want it. We are citizens
of Pakistan and are content with what
we have. Why does Afghanistan want
to interfere with us?"
The truth is that "Pukhtunistan" does
not exist on Pakistan soil or anywhere
else except in the fevered imagination
Of a handful that constitutes the ruling
family and ruling class of Afghanistan.

hammed Ali's partisans concealed on
the walls.
What has Zionist example to do with
the assassination Of Sir Lee Stack, or
of Boutros Ghali. the Coptic Christian
Minister Of Egypt, who was slain by a
Moslem fanatic, or the recent dynastic
tragedy in secluded. self sufficient
Yemen, where the 85-year-old Imam
was killed by one of his own sons.
Political assassination is unfortunately
not restricted to any country nor to any
era. 1t struck down Ghandi in India
and Abraham Lincoln in our own land.
Only few months ago. President Tru-
man and the Governor of Puerto Rico
narrowly escaped assassins' bullets.
Nor can I see how the Western ma
tlons or Mr. Jabotinsky and his followers
can be accused Of responsibility for the
real causes behind the recent political
assassinations in the Arab world, which
are to be found in the dynastic rivalries
between the Hashemite family and Ibn
Saud or the family struggle for power
between the Husseinis and the Nash
ishibis in Palestine or the conflicting
ideas on Lebanese independence cherish
