MRS. PHIL EDELMAN IS NEW OFFICER OF
 LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

All but one of the 1851 officers of the Palmer Library Association were stuck with their jobs for 1852 when no one evinced any in- terest in assuming their duties at the annual meeting held last Monday.
 Mrs. George Geiwitz, the vice president, was the only one who was successful in finding a sue cessor. Mrs. Philip Edelman. thus becomes the only new member of the 1852 board.
 Ed Smith, who was appointed to fill Rev. Victor Alfsen's unex- pired term, as trustee, was elect ed for a three-year term at the Monday election.
 The officers who must continue to carry on their duties through 1852 are Mrs. Earl Graves, presi- dent; Mrs. Don Ingalls, secretary; and Mrs. Foster Sims, treasurer.
 These officers, who have work ed hard through the library's early struggles and had the cour- age to start the library building on faith, had hoped for successors also. Perhaps they have perform ed their duties so well that others are afraid to try.

uary 6, the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen will gather m then club room m the basement of Re Hall t0 celebrate theIr fourth birthday
 The fast regular meeting of the Sportsmen was held February l. I948 Reviewing their accomplish mentS since that date. the Sports men will have much to be proud of. With over 100 members. in cluding men, women. and young people, the Sportsmen have esta- bliShed reputation as champions of conservation. They have chan neled their enthusiasm for hunt ing and fishing into joint endea- vor to perpetuate the wild game so that Alaska can remain a para disc for responsible sportsmen.
 Through their indoor and out door shooting ranges. they have given their members opportuni- ties to compete in national tour neys and have given instruction to neophytes in safe shooting and elementary craftsmanship.
 As a social group they have mixed education with their good times. At regular meetings, mem bers have heard talks by men from the FWS and have viewed 1 many good films and slides on sports in Alaska and other parts of the world. Their two big social events of the year, the annual game dinner and the fish fry have become virtual institutions in the life of the Valley.
 The Sportsmen's club was the successor to the old Palmer Rod and Gun Club which was dissolV- ed when 1t was decided to enlarge the scope of membership and ac- tivities. Recreations suggested at the first meeting were trap shoot ing, rifle and pistol shooting, ski ing, fishing, and out-board motor racing. One of the first motions made resulted in utilization with the National Rifle Association IS a Class A club within fe Y months of organization.
 A conservation measure that came up at the first meeting was the planting of duck foods and 1 the establishment of a duck re- serve. Although the duck foods were planted, the reserve IS still a dream. Residents will remem- Der that in the spring of '49 the 1 ducks and other waterfowl stayed around the Valley for over a month without being moleSted. The Sportsmen had cracked down on the illegal shooting of ducks on their way north in the spring. Spring duck dinners became a part of the ruthless past after the Sportsmen organized their responsibilities in the interests o1 good sportsmanship.
 During the first year, efforts 70 provide the Sportsmen with g meeting place, an indoor rifle range, a trap shooting range, and an gut door high-powered rifle range ended in success on all four counts. Members met in the Grange Hall the first year, but by the end of the year they were setting up forms, pouring cement floors, and painting the walls ot the Rec Hall basement. Out oi this unused basement, they fa- shioned fine indoor rifle range and the club room. l. M. Sand vick's offer of land for a high powered rifle range had been ac- cepted in the Spring of l94S.
 A trap range was set up
 elow the Fair Grounds. Trap and rifle shoots were held at the l948 Fair. Since then the club has sponso sored innumerable Shoots" to stimulate interest in the good sport of craftsmanship There have been turkey shoots, merchants handicap shoot, All

but there's quite surge for Ike.
In a number of recent straw vote

Senator Kefauver doesn't pull

entire Midwest. Taft is well liked,
but Senator Kefauver might beat
him if he continues to gain sup

the G. o. P. would win easily.
"It probably will be Eisenhower,
because the Republicans want a
winner this time"
Coleman A. Harwell, editor,
Nashville Tennesseean: "A lot de-
pends on Kefauver's showing in
the Florida preferential primary.
Our Senator may not be popular
with the big politicians, but he has
a lot of public sentiment behind
him. We think he'll make the

For the G. O. P, the Tennessee

Eisenhower is a popular favorite.
