Lecal Man Fined
 Following Accident

Stanley F. R. Horton, 21, plead ed guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicat- ing liquor on August g, and was fined SIPS and had his drivers license revoked for one year when he appeared before U. s.

 A second complaint, signed by Allen E. Klump of the Division of Forestry, charged Horton with driv.1g vehicle without owners (government) consent. T hi S charge was later dropped by mu- tual consent.
 Horton is at present confined in the Federal jail in Anchorage following his failure to pay the SI25 fine levied on the first
 charge.

1OOO-YEAR-OLD ICE IS HARD, CLEAR HIT AT POAcHEPS DINNER

The Elks' "Poachers Dinner Saturday night was a big success and the concurrent serving of two uniquely Alaskan delicacies was hailed as the beginning of an an nual custom to be observed hence forth at Lake George Breakup time.
 The first delicacy-salt water salmon-Was on the bill of fare, but the second was a surprise: one-thousand-year-old ice from the glaciers feeding into Lake George. The Elks' secretary, Clair Stock, had fished out a cake of the ancient ice as it came floating down Knik River Its gIass-like purity and it's hardness made it the superior of all other ice. Actually, it was the quintes- sence of ice-an ice long used to it's solid state and stubbornly re- sisting the change to another Used to cool refreshing beverag- es, the ice long outlaSted the waters that threatened it. Some of the guests took their ice au naturel, without a coke or 7-Up chaser.
 Many thought the thousand ear-old ice should have commer- cial possibilities locally, but even though these are not exploited the ancient treat will be offered an- nually to Palmer Elks and their guests.

This book, published by William
H. Wise & Co., New York, spon-
sors of the famous garden ency-
clopedia, is as factual in approach
as that "bible" of amateur land
IScapers.
Leaning heavily on information
developed and tested in the lab
|oratories of the Portland Cement
Association" this handbook should
save many future foundations
from crumbling and many houses
from rotting away.
Mr.. Eckhouse concentrates on
waterproofing problems and
therefore devotes a large portion
of the book to basement problems.
Indicative of his sensible point
of view is a statement such as:
Before taking any steps to pre-
vent dampness and leakage, first
consider the various purposes for
which the basement may be used
Then decide if the expense of re-
pairing a leakage or dampness
condition is warranted"
New home builders can take a
tip from this if they weigh the
advantages of having basement
at all.

When a new book on home

chock full of practical informa-
tion instead of glib short cuts and
pretended miraculous cure-alls, it
rates attention.
There always seems to be a seri-
Gus shortage of useful informa-
ton about houses. You can find
more in most libraries about how
to take care of a dog than on
how to take care Of the place you
call home.
One Of the least understood
and therefore neglected parts of
house is masonry. This is prob
ably the Oldest form of construc-
ton. It seems so solid and per-
manent we don't give it a thought
until its real frailties show up.
In running across a volume such
as "The Wise Handbook of Ma
lsonry and Waterproof1ng," by
Robert D. Eckhouse, the house
holder discovers a source of down.
to-earth know-how that ranges
from sidewalks and driveways,
fireplaces and barbecues, roofs and
dry wells through all phases of
dampproofing and waterproofing
houses and Easements.

Macarthur Runor Excites Match Cover Fans
By Charles 6. Brooks

Rumors that Gen. Macarthur
has a new personal MATCHBOX
cover design have swept the Ma.
tion's collectors like wildf1re in the
last several weeks.
If so, it's still a closely guarded
secret. Not even Edgar Perkins
publicity director for the Rath-
kamp Matchcover Society. has
been able to confirm it.
Matchbox collectors - phil
lumenists. they call themselves
everywhere redoubled their efforts
this year-a year that marks the
125th anniversary of the match.
Locally, the match collectors
have organized themselves into the
Nacamco, which, translated into
non-collectors' jargon, means the
National Capital Matchcover Col
lectors. a subsidiary of Rathkamp
They are a dedicated group.
i Meeting at 2 pm. of the third
Sunday of each month in the Will
lard Hotel, some so members of
Nacamco spend the afternoon
trading covers and discussing the
important variations of seemingly
similar matchcovers.
Lots of Work.
For example. Mr.. Perkins points
out, a matchcover is different,
even though the design and quail
Iity of paper may be the same, If
the striking abrasive Of one is
only sixteenth of an inch
shorter than another.
That's like stamp collecting. in
a sense" Mr.. Perkins holds. And
it takes lot of work. Most COL
lectors spend more than 10 hours
a week at their hobby.
This year is an important year
for Americas organized match
cover collectors. The Rathkamps
will hold their 18th annual
convention from September S
through 7 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Hundreds of collectors will meet
to form national collecting poll
cies and to pore over countless
duplicate covers for trading pur-
poses.
They have a definite, unwritten
creed. Mr.. Perkins says. For ex-
ample, the organized collectors
agree to answer all mail from
other collectors.
Dirty Covers Taboo.
Furthermore, a good collector
doesn't pick up old covers from
the street. It's entirely unethical
to trade a dirtied matchcover
anyway. And one of the reasons
they organized was to prevent
small, individual collectors from
being swindled with dirty covers.
Attorney Charles P. Gray, of
the Federal Trade Commission, is
an excellent example of an out
standing matchcover collector.
Mr.. Gray, "a, who lives at 4513
Roxbury drive, Bethesda. esti-
mates his collection includes ST.
900 different covers.
And I could run it up to 500,-
900 covers in 60 days. if I wanted
to put up that much money and
time" he declares. In the IL
years he's spent at collecting, Mr..
Gray thinks he's traded covers
