PALMER LOSES TO
 EAGLES BY ' POINTS

Three fully-loaded buses con- taining the Palmer High School basketball team, faculty mem bers and other basketball fans journied to Anchorage last Fri day night for Palmer's first game in the railbelt conference.
 The Anchorage Eagles, using a man to man defense in the first half, found themselves on the low end of a 25-22 score at half time. The Palmer players showed the good results of the frequent practice session that have been held and although the Eagles managed to come back in the third quarter with some fast plays that ran their score up to 34 points and kept the Palmer boys scoring almost to nil, the fourth quarter saw the teams tied 34-34. From then until the end of the game Palmer fans were hopeful that the Moose players would be able to surge ahead. However, two baskets and a foul shot gave Anchorage the lead they needed to finish the game in their favor, 45-38.
 Don Ingalls,, Palmer captain, led his team with 16 points. Frank Putzel, Anchorage captain was also high man on his team, drop ping in 13 points.
 In the preliminary game be- tween the schools Jayvees, Pal mer's young team took the An chorage Eagles with a 44-38 tot al. Don Johnson, Palmer player and Dick Janigo of the Eagles team took top points for their teams by scoring IT points apiece. BOX SCORE

, CHRISTMAS PARTY PLANS PROGRESSING FOR VALLEY KIDS

Although collections for the community Christmas party for children in the Valley have been coming in rather slow, prepara- tions have been going along at a good pace and the party is as- sured for the youngsters.
 Mothers are reminded that members of the Moose Lodge will be or hand at the Valley Thea tre to help keep order and that because of limited seating space no mothers will be seated until all the youngsters have found a place. If there is any extra space they will be allowed to sit in the last three rows but may have to hold one, two or three youngsters on their lap.
 All youngsters in the Valley up to and including grade five are invited to attend. Santa Claus is expected to arrive shortly after the showing of several comic films. He will, in traditional fash ion, pop down the chimney of the candy house and emmerge from the door with a cherry hello for all the youngsters. Bags of good les that the Women of the Moose plan to prepare this week will be given to each child attending the party.
 Extra bags are expected to be distributed in the Valley to youngsters unable to attend.
 The attractive candy house has been redecorated this week and is in the process of being erected. A giant Christmas tree will also be set up this week and decorat- ed with hundreds of lights.
 The party will begin on Thurs day afternoon, December "A, at 2 pm.

Engineers Give S700 For chiIdren's Home Christmas Treats

A special Christmas gift fund of more than $700 has been raised by employees of the Alaska Dis trict Corps of Engineers in two- day drive for the Valley Chris tian Home for children.
 The money tossed into the Christmas sock by the District Engineer personnel will buy 'sWhat the youngsters want most" according to MT. and Mrs. Harold A. Richards who maintain the home for some 35 boys and girls from one to 18 years old.
 Located on the Wasilla-Palmer road, the Valley Christian Home is in a winter wonderland with ponds for skating and hills for coasting, but the kids have no skates and no sleds. So that's what the DE fund will buy, in ad- dition to all the fixings and trim mings for Christmas holidays.
 This special DE Christmas fund is over and above the regular ante of 25 cents which each District Engineer employee contributes every two weeks throughout the year on pay day. At present that money is set aside to pay for a well which will provide an ade- quate water supply. The well should be ready by spring at a cost of about $4,500.
 During the years since 1948 when the Alaska District Engin- ger employees began their SUD- port of the Valley Christian Home they have bought not only holiday gifts and food but such practical needs as washing ma chimes, dryer, bunk beds, plumbing, sink, kitchen range and cabinets, linoleum, sewing machine, building materials, fire fighting equipment, light fix lures, wall board and insulation, playground equipment, movie protector, 50 pairs of shoes and other clothing, books, toys - and payments on the mortgage.
 The majority of the children of the Home are part native. Some are orphans. Others have one or both parents unable to care for them due to illness, poverty or unfitness. Under Territorial law, the children are not available for adoption.
 There is no established per manent support for the majority of the children. Seven or eight have been placed in the Home by the Territory which pays S30 a month for each child. All other financial aid is contributed by various organizations, churches, and groups. Cost of operation is approximately S1,500 a month and S1,000 must go for food also.
 The staff of adults, including MT. and Mrs. Richards, receive no pay. The Home is affiliated with no one church or religion but was started by the Richards to provide homeless children with shelter and care and training in the basic ways of a Christian life.
 Older children go to school in Wasilla. The younger ones attend one-room school at the home for which the Territory provides some textbooks and furniture.
 The home, on 160 acres of land, consists of a large house, six room cottage nearing completion several outbuildings, a barn with few head of livestock, and the one-room school. Everyone shares in the work, and the children are happy and healthy. And like other kids, they are looking for ward to Christmas.
