l.
CHICAGO. Jan. 3I.-What clar-
lence Henry wants to know Is where
he goes from here.
The sensational 23-year-old Los
Angeles heavyweight disposed Of
bob Satterfield IN la Of the first
round III last nights scheduled To-
lrounder In Chicago Stadium.
Henry. the third ranking con-
tender for Joe Walcott's crown,
was like cyclone in action as he
Ibelted down the unpredictable
lSatterfieid three times. once with
la right and twice with jarring left
hooks.
Referee Freddie Gilmore finally
stopped II after Satterfleld arose
IshakiIy from the canvas for the
third time. blood steaming from d
Igash over his left eyebrow and
Henry logged In for more blasting.
II was young Henry's l4th con-
lsecutive win and his i7th knock
|out In 80 pro fights. He weighed
I187 and Satterfleld 1870.
Wants Marciano Bout.
Il want to fight Rocky Marci-
|ano," said Henry. a 1948 Golden
Gloves champion. But where do
II go from hereI do not know. /"
He meant that he will have to
|get on Walcott's waiting list, be-
hind Ezzard Charles and Mar
|ciano.
He had everything to lose and
really little to gain In his Satter-
field bout which was televised
nationally and attracted $3.50
fans. The gross gate was $23. .O32
and the net $l7.7l7.
1--WE want Marciano next, said
|Henry's manager. Frank (Blinky)
Palermo. And II the Interna-
|tional Boxing Club gives us the

Henry took Is minutes before
going to his dressing room after
disposing Of Satterfield. He se-
cluded himself In the stadium's
IBC ONCE telephoning his mother
in Los Angeles.
Satterf1eld Is Impressed.
.She has television but won't

'I always cali her. -
However, Henry also naas have

pened to a more deserving per son., they said, in reference to the many gifts offered by gener- ous local merchants.
 The child's mother had planned carefully for her baby and had worked hard to provide money for the baby's birth and the lit- tie things that babies need. Her pride in working out her own problems and her touching ap- preciation of every kindness done her, endeared the mother and her expected baby to all the workers at the cleaning establishment. They took pleasure in adding little garments and necessities to the mothers little stockpile. When she worried about what would happen to her children during the time of her delivery, Mrs. Frank Brown kindly offered to keep them in her home. She plans to keep the baby there also when Mrs. Alfred is released from the hospital this week because it is too cold in the cabin for a baby.
 If Mrs. Browns statement that Its no more than anyone around here would do". is a true one, it would appear that Palmer is a wonderful place for a little stranger to be born in.

Raging Three Day Wind hashes Valley
New City Water
 System Must be 0K'd On 2 Ballots Jan. 29

Most residents of Palmer will have to vote twice on the water indebtedness question whic h comes before them on January 29.
 City Clerk William Head ex- plained this week which electors will vote on each ballot. Electors on the first ballot are all persons who are qualified electors of the city of Palmer, regardless of pro- perty ownership. These electors are to vote on the matter of in curing indebtedness up to $300,- 900, which shall be paid from re- venues from the new city water system. A 50 percent affirmative vote or more is required to carry this proposition.
 Ballot number two will be re- stricted to those persons within the city whose names appear on the city assessment roll. These persons are all real or personal property owners within the city. This group is to vote on the issuance of $250,0O0 in general obligation bonds, bonds to be is sued only if required by the Uni ted States Government if it ap- pears that revenue from the wa ter system is not sufficient to pay for the system. An affirmative vote of 65 percent or more is re- quirad 70 carry this proposition.
 Those who are property owners shall also vote on the first bal lot.
 Although Alaska Public Works has already allocated $500,000 for Palmer's water project, an affir- native vote on both questions is a necessary pledge of faith by members of the community If construction of the city's new sys- tenn is to be started next spring.

MARCH OF DIMES CAMP PAIGN GETS
 UNDER WAY HERE

The March of Dimes iron lung coin boxes will be placed in stores and public buildings, offices and the school this week as the month long campaign to raise funds to help in the struggle against polio gets under way.
 March of Dimes chairman for the Palmer area this year is Betty Mears. She is being assisted by Nina Stock and Karla Duff. Hei- nie Snider is in charge of the campaign for the Wasilla area, and members of the local High way Patrol are placing the iron lung coin boxes in roadhouses along the highway.
 Ed Smith, chairman of the Val ley Hospital Fund Drive commit tee, asked this week that the hos pital fund milk bottles be taken off the market for the duration of the polio campaign. Business people in whose establishments the milk bottles and signs have been located are asked to put them under the counter until the March of Dimes campaign is over.
 Last year the March of Dimes fund from the Palmer area was sWelled by proceeds from tal- ent show sponsored by the Xii wanis Club and Beta Sigma Phi.
 This latter local service or ganization is planning again this year to sponsor some program to help this worthy cause. The Beta Sigs have been so busy with their many hospital fund activities that the March of Dimes campaign crept up on them unawares. How ever, committee was appointed at their Monday night meeting and their plans will be announced in a forthcoming issue of the Frontiersman.
 The national March of Dimes campaign is two weeks longer this year, extending from Janu- ary to 31. The reason for this double time is because the need is twice as great this year. There was a great increase in the num- Der of polio cases over the nation last year, and costs of treating polio have spiraled along with everything else.
 Local givers should remember that half of the proceeds from

DON'T LOCK CARS LEFT ON BLOCKED ROADS, ONKKA WARNS

ARC superintendent Oliver Onkka registered a request to- day that all motorists cooper ate with the Road Commission by leaving their cars unlocked when they abandon them on doads that are blocked by
 With the doors of the car locked, the road maintenance men cannot get in to turn the wheels and push the car from the road where it blocks snow clearing operations. Their on- ly alternatives are leaving the road blocked and uncleared or calling Wrecker to remove the vehicle. In latter case, many people are inconvenien- ced during the precious time lost and the owner of the ve- hicle will have to pay a tow bill before he can reclaim his car.
 Tt is not necessary to leave the keys in the ignition. said Onkka. Just leave the car door unlocked"

Col. CIasby and Choir
 To Present Swan Song Concert Here Jan. 27

Ed Smith, chairman of the Val ley Hospital fund raising commit tee announced this week that Col. William s. Clasby, chaplain for the Alaska Air Command, has consented to come to Palmer Sunday evening, January 27, with 16 members of his famous choir to put on program for the people of the Valley.
 The Palmer program will be the swan song for members of this choir who have appeared on many national radio programs and have brought their music to thousands in the United States and in the Pacific war theater. The singing sargeants are all due for rotation, so the choir will be disbanded.
 In Palmer, Col. Clasby and the sargeants will present a full tWo-hour program. Col. Clasby will deliver one of his inspiring lectures for 30 minutes, and the choir will take up the remainder of the program with their songs and skits.. No admission will be charged for this program al though a voluntary offering will be taken. The entire collection will be turned over to the fund for the new Valley Presbyterian Hospital.
 Col. Clasby and his choir have app1red on three NEG programs series over the Catholic Hous and have presented one series of pro- grams on the ABC network $ Hour of Faith. The most recent series of five programs over the Catholic Hour was completed De- cember 30, 1851. Late this fall, Col. Clasby and his singing sar- geants completed a tour of the Pacific area where they enter tained troops at Okinowa, the Philippines, Japan, and Korea. On this trip they put on Is shows in IA days, bringing their enter tainment to over ten thousand Servicemen.
 As a result of an NEG broadcast last May, people all over the Uni ted States offered a total of g. 80O,OO0 prayers for the welfare of servicemen. Everywhere the Col onel and his choir have appeared, in army theaters all over the Uni States and in the war areas. they have been received with enthu-

A fitting climax to the Christmas season was the arrival last Friday of the Valleys first 1852 baby, little girl who need ed some rejoicing at her birth.
 Little Carmen Dadrie Alfred was born at Valley Hospital about $50 p. m. January 4. Although the hospital frequently has been compared with a stable, it was a much warmer and more comfort able place than the little cabin at the foot of Valley Street where the baby's mother, Mrs. Minnie Alfred, has been living with her seven-year-old son, Arthur, and a 15-month-old daughter named Sharon.
 Mrs. Alfred came to the Valley from the Fairbanks area last July when her husband, Amos Alfred, went Outside. MT. Alfred has not yet returned to Alaska so he was not here to rejoice at the birth of his new daughter.
 Mrs. Alfred found employment at Browns Shop upon her arrival in the Valley, and worked there right up to the time that Carmen was born. Her co-workers at Browns were jubilant at the news that Mrs. Alfred was the mother of the first Valley baby of 1852. Tt couldn't have hap.

CAA MAN SERIOUSLY ikJUKED IN ACCIDENT AT CARIBOU CREEK

Two men were injured, one seriously, in an auto accident which occurred about five o. clock Monday morning at Mile 107 on the Glenn Highway at Caribou Creek.
 According to the report of the local Highway Patrol, three men, all CAA employees, were return ing to Anchorage when the ac- cident happened. Approaching the Caribou Creek bridge at too great speed to make the curve there, the car plunged over the 25-foot embankment and landed right side up on the frozen creek. A passing motorist reported the accident to members of the ACS station at Sheep Mountain. After notifying the Highway Patrol the servicemen in charge of the sta ton went to the scene of the ac- cident and brought back the men to the ACS station where they would be warm. It was 20 below at the time of the accident. One of the accident victims, Robert Smalley, had to be transported carefully. He was paralyzed from the neck down although fully conscious. Dr. C. C. Bailey, who arrived at Sheep Mountain a short time afterWard commended the manner in which the service men carried the injured man out Dr. Bailey immediately took Smalley to Providence Hospital in Anchorage where the CAA man was found to be suffering d possible fractured back. The in- jured man was taken to Seattle by plane Monday night where he will be under the care of a neuro surgeon at Virginia Mason Clinic.
 The driver of the car, Paul w.. Kasten who is CAA branch man. ager at Umiat, was taken to Val ley Hospital where he received treatment for cuts and bruises. A third occupant of the car, Arthur c. Kirmer, Jr. was uninjured in the crash. He is CAA technician in Anchorage.
 The 1949 sedan, which was badly damaged in the wreck, be- longed to Srnalley. He is an el- ectrician maintenance man for CAA in Anchorage and is unmar- ried.

Temperatures Rise With Bitter Blow but Colder Weather is Predicted

the hills north of Palmer for two days, the big blow long expected by experienced residents descen- ded on the Valley early Tuesday morning with all its fury.
 There was little accurate in formation about the wind veloci- ty in the Valley, and old timers differed in their opinions about the force of the first big blow of the 195l-52 season. Johnny Reed though that This wind is about as bad as it gets, but ac- cording to Bob Klem, it was just a draft compared with the big wind storms of 38, '39, and 40. Those were winds that blew roofs off and houses down, he said. Reports on this weeks wind indicated that it had succeeded only in tearing down a few chim- neys, including the top part of the Palmer School smokestack which IS hanging by thread of iron.
 Out at Kings Lake, where Bill Head was drifted in all day Tues day, a close check on his anemo- meter showed that the gusts were travelling at speed of 40 miles an hour with some of them reach ing gale velocities up to 65 m.p.h. At the Palmer Airport, Les Green reported his anemometer av- eraging about B miles per hour. but he added that this was not fair indication of the force of winds in Palmer because the gauge itself is in a protected spot. When Green put plane out on the runway Wednesday, the wind gauge registered 40 m.p.h. at that time.
 By mid morning today the winds in the Valley had died somewhat although they could still be heard roaring up in the hills. By noon all the roads had been plowed out, and weary ARC men went home to get little rest before the wind decided to make another invasion of the Valley ARC superintendent, Oliver On kka, said that some of the. men have had only a few hours sleep since the Highway Patrol report ed Glenn Highway blocked about midnight Sunday night. After working on the highway all day and part of the evening Monday, those operating the big snow blower had to return to the Drift Inn area on the highway where it was "drifted in. When the wind struck the Valley early Tuesday morning, all the road equipment vas put into operation to keep the roads open in the Val ley. From the reports of farmers coming into town, the ARC men had done a mighty good job of 1t. All the roads except the Scott road were cleared by last night at 7 D. m. Then the wind picked up renewed fury and the road commission men had to do their work all over again.
 Seven men including Onkka have been operating ARC equip ment to keep the roads open. Another has stood by at the gar age constantly to keep the equip ment going. Seven pieces of road equipment have been kept in al- most constant operation through out the wind storm: a Stirling big-nose V blow, a road main tainer, two cats, two Harrington trucks with blades, and one TO- tary snow-go. From Sunday eve ming until last night one piece of road equipment registered 500 miles of operation on a 22-mile stretch of the Glenn Highway from Palmer to King river.
 In Palmer few of the roads were blocked except the usual spot on Fairview Avenue opposite the Fair Grounds fence. Streets and yards were blown free of P1nase turn to page 5)

Local sporfsmen Suggest August 20 Opening on Moose, Caribou Seasons

ilS SSdSOH Ol August LU lIlSledu of September l was recommen- ded in the FWS hearing on fish and game regulations for Alaska held last Saturday evening in the Sportsmen's quarters at Recrea- ton Hall.
 The presence of nearly 100 sportsmen and women showed the importance attached to con- servation by local hunting and fishing enthusiasts. It also gave the Fish and Wildlife Service a- gents in attendance a good eros section of Valley opinion on the questions involved.
 Ed Chatelain, FWS biologist, conducted the meeting. He was assisted by FWS agents from the Anchorage area including Harry Pinkham, Jim Branam, Don Cross, Robert Scott, and Bob Burkholder. Beginning with game animals on page 12 of the 1852 Regulations Relating to Game and Fur Animals, Birds, and Game Fishes in Alaska, Chate- lain covered each section deal ing with hunting and fishing in Alaska.
 Through majority vote of those present the following changes ,.,era recommended.
 MOOSE. Season to be set ahead to August 20 instead of the pre- sent September 1 opening and no December hunt and no per init hunt in the Palmer area. The closing of the season on Septem- Der 20 or September 30 would be at the discretion of FWS.
 CARIBOU. Season to be ad- vanced to August 20 instead of the present September l opening. Only those caribou with brow or eye guards are to be consider ed legal game.
 MIGRATORY BIRDS. Season to be advanced to September |, the earliest date allowed under treaty obligations of U. s.
 CLOSED AREA. Designation of the present Palmer area limits to be changed to except the drain age of the south side of the Mata- nuska river above but not in cluding the Wolverine River. (The closed area applies mainly to the December moose hunt.) No hunting limits on either side of the Alaska Railroad tracks would be reduced from the present one fourth mile to 100 feet.
 The local recommendations re- garding moose had been agreed upon by the membership of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen at their last meeting. Roy Brock made the recommendation at the hearing. Leo Lucas added that If there are more bulls in this area, it wSuld be better to have the ex- tension early in the season when the meat is better. Most of those present were opposed to the per init hunt since it attracts many who otherwise would never think of hunting.
 Docs the stipulation about a moose with four antlers O. better mean that only those that have their antlers can be shot?" asked Brock, trying to clear up a stock question among hunters. Chate- lain's answer was an unqualified "Yes".
 The recommendations on cari- bou were designed to prevent the charged after last years hunt. Saving the cows and calves was considered the best way of pre- venting this slaughter. Although Chatelain observed that the liml- tation of forked antlers or better would eliminate the calves, there was some disagreement among local hunters who pointed out that many calves have forked horns by the opening of the hunt ing season. They believed that the
