Boy Scout Camp Opens June 27
 For Local Scouts

Plans for the annual Boy Scout camp at Kings Lake were dis cussed during the regular meet ing of Troop 654 last Tuesday. There are a few changes in re- quirements from past years, and a number of new boys who have never been to camp were present, so many questions were answer ed.
 This year the Anchorage Boy Scout office has asked that the camp fee of $25.00 be paid in ad- vance of the starting date fer camp, June 27. Therefore, each boy was asked to have his camp fee reach Scoutmaster Harry Winner not later than the next troop meeting June p.
 A medical examination by a physician is required of each boy attending camp. Forms for these examinations were given out at the troop meeting Tuesday. Any scout who did not received one should contact MT. Winner, eith- CT at his home or at the Agri- cultural Experiment Station building in Palmer.
 Dr. C. C. Bailey, who again this year will donate his time, has requested that scouts wishing to have medical examinations at tend in group. He has set Tues day afternoon, June g, from l pm. to 2 pm. as the date and time. Scouts should report to his office in the Wright Building at the specified time. The office will be locked, Scoutmaster said, and Scouts are requested to knock on the door for admission. All scouts who wish Dr. Bailey to give their examinations are requested to be there on time.
 Boy Scout camp opens Sunday afternoon, June 27. All scouts should plan to arrive at Kings Lake Camp about 3 pm, Vim mer said. Transportation is usua- Fly furnished by parents, how ever, if any of the scouts need transportation they should con- tact Scoutmaster Winner and ar engagements will be made for their travel.

COrcP CREAMERY IM FAIRBANKS
 OPENS TOMORROW

The formal opening of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co., operating Associations new quarter of a million dollar milk processing plant in Fairbanks will be held tomorrow from 3:30 to 500 pm. Fred Zieke, Coop general manager, and Mrs. Zieke Keith Walker, manager of the local creamery, and Clayton Els singer, controller, will attend the ceremonies. Because this is the peak planting season, Coop board members were unable to get away to attend the dedica- ton.
 The one-story concrete rein forced steel building was remod- eled under the supervision of Lee Link of Fairbanks. It is located at 124 Second Avenue in the far north city and will be used for recombined milk processing and the manufacturing of ice cream.
 Get Ice Cream Contract
 The new Fairbanks plant are apparent successful bidders for supplying around 90,000 gallons of ice cream on six-month con- tract from July l to December l, according to Clayton Esslinger. Tn addition to the new ice cream contract, milk from the new plant will be shipped to air bases in the north. This will replace shipments that have been going out from the local plant to the Fairbanks area.
 The famous Maranuska Maid brand will be used on products produced in the new plant.

I Telephone Numbers To Be Changed Soon

The City of Palmer telephone system is undergoing a partial re- organization and some public in- convenience is going to be ex- perienced, Parker Lester, chair man of the telephone committee said this week. There has been a new 101 circuit lead covered cable installed from the telephone office north to the Pioneer Apart ments and all subscribers served by this cable will, by necessity, have their numbers changed.
 The City telephone department is adopting a new four-digit num- bering code, which will speed up operations in the office and lead to better service, Lester said. As soon as possible a new directory will be mailed to all subscribers, and then persons making calls will be asked to call by number only. To call by name will only occasion delay, he pointed out, for the telephone operator will have to refer to the directory and look up the correct number before placing the call.

Chamber Hears of Little Susifna
 ''Playground' Area

Ralph Farnsworth, member of Ne Matanuska Ski club broach- ed the possible formation of a corporation among residents to promote skiing in the Valley re- zion during the June 15 meeting of the Matanuska Valley Chamb- CT of Commerce. Citing the fact that thousands of skiers will be seeking a new area this coming season, because of the closure of Arctic Valley Ski Bowl, Farms worth stated the natural place for them to turn would be to the Little Susitna area, where skiing has been carried on for a period of years but with very little ad- vancement in the line of improve ments during this period of time. The local club has installed a ski tow and what other minor inn provements limited funds would permit. (.
 Such a development would re- quire capital investment. "Skiers prefer to ski-they don't want to operate lodge or ski tow, he pointed out. They will pay for these services, but they do not want to operate them, he added.
 Chamber members agreed that the tourist potential would war rant further study of his propos- al. One member pointed out the year-round potential in that re- zion, mentioning attractions for camera clubs, hunters fishermen, prospectors clubs, riding clubs,

Ring Rot Causes Rule Tightening

Requirements for certified seed production will tighten as re- suit of the discovery of ring rot in two lots of certified seed pota- toes this spring, Charles Logsdon, executive secretary of the Alaska Certified Seed Growers Associa- tion, said today.
 Working with the association is the university's agricultural experiment station which will start research to find more exact methods of detecting ring rot disease in fields and in bins.
 Slight infections may cause no recognizable symptoms until the potatoes are cut for seed. This is what happened this spring, Logs don explained. The seed is all right for commercial planting this year, but farmers should not save any of this material for next years planting.

MATANUSKA VALLEY MILK PRODUCTION TOTALS 6,5l4,3I3 POUNDS IN 1853

ues at retail price according to the Department of Agriculture which assisted Andrews in his survey. Of the total, the Valley leads production with $650,106 income from dairy products.
 Milk cows in the territory to- tailed 1,430, with 980 heifers and heifer calves. In the Matanuska Valley there are 881 milk cows; 347 heifers one year and over; 312 heifer calves, and 38 dairy bulls. Panama Valley by compari- son have 107 milk cows; 29 heif- CTS one year and over; 30 heif- CT calves and dairy bulls. In the Kenai Peninsula the totals run very much the same as in the Panama Valley.

VALLEY BANK IS DESIGNATED ED, G. MEMBER

The Matanuska Valley Bank have received notice from A. J. Loda, special assistant, board of directors, Federal Deposit Insur- ance Corporation, Washington that deposit insurance for the local bank became effective Mon day, June IA.
 "We take this opportunity, Loda stated, ito welcome your bank into the family of insured institutions and to assure you that it will always be our desire to be of service"
 Since July 28, 1947 when the Matanuska Valley Bank opened to business, a continued growth has been shown. On March 29, 1852, Robert A. Baker of Anch- .orage purchased the outstanding stock, and with his associates, re- organized the institution with ad- ditional capital funds. Since that time deposits have more than doubled and new services were offered when the bank was de- signated by the government as a United States Series E Bond agent, and as U. s. Depository.
 'As another step in offering the very best in banking servic- es to the people of the valley, it Is indeed a pleasure to announce at this time, our membership in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation" President Baker stated today.
 In addition to Baker, present officers are: Harry J. Hill, vice president; Richard M Jones, cashier manager, and John H. ClaWson, secretary.

An agricultural survey for 1853, conducted by Dick Andrews of the Agriculture Experiment Sta ton, indicates an overall figure of 1O,141,592 pounds of milk were produced in the territory during the past year. Of this amount, 6,045,313 pounds were produced and sold in the Matan- uska Valley, plus another 469,00O pounds which were used on the farms.
 The total value of S1,016,877 of the overall production, was computed at the price received by the farmer through processors. This tends to devaluate farm production compared to some past surveys which comuted val

WIENER ROAST PLANNED FOR
 ENTIRE VALLEY

The first community wide pro- gram to be sponsored by the Pal mer Area Recreation Council will be the giant weiner roast to be held Friday evening, from 5:30 to FOO on the lot opposite from the old hospital. Brush which was cleared from the lot will be ignited for the bonfires. Everyone in the valley is invited to attend and families are urged to attend, and take all members of the fam fly.
 Each family should take their their own lunch or weiners, bev- erages will be sold on the lot by members of the P.AR.C. and playground personnel. Money from the beverage sales will go toward the summer playground now in operation.
 There will be no playground program the evening of the vein CT roast, but tentative plans call for a talent show at the weiner roast. Youngsters now attending the playground will probably participate.
 In the event of windy or rainy weather, the roast will be post poned. Members of the city fire department and members of the Forest Service will stand by dur ing the burning.

NEW PLANS AT
RACING PARK
Aims at Maintaining Position
at Delaware Park in
Racing Sphere
TAX POSITION OF STATE

The Directors of Delaware Park
have completed a series of i'm
portant moves aimed at MAIN
tanning the position of Delaware
Park in the thoroughbred racing
sphere, and the tax position of
the State of Delaware which
draws most of its racing patrons
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Maryland. The announcement
was made by Donald P. Ross,
President of the Delaware Steep
lechase and Race Association, who
said the new steps had become a
necessity because of the increaS-
ing competition from race cours-
es in New Jersey and Maryland
which are nearer to the centers of
population supplying racegoers to
Delaware Park. In 1854 there
were almost half a million Della
ware Park racegoers, two-thirds
of them from outside the borders
of the state, and they rolled up
$1,640,449 in revenue to the tax
Golfers in Dover. In IL years of
Delaware Park operation, the tax
return to the State of Delaware
has been $14,477,242.82. The new
steps are:
1. The remaining of the richest
race in the world for fillies and
mares, hereafter to be known as
the Delaware Handicap, so as to
bring greater fame and honor to
the second smallest state in the
Union, as the Delaware Park fea-
ture has already become nation
ally known, and next season for
Smyrna times., 1954-12-09

eign entries are a strong possibil-
ity.
2. The establishment of a new
$4,000 stake for fllies and mares,
designed as prep for the Della
ware, the new feature to bear the
name New Castle" and thus per-
petuate a name historic in the
states tradition.
8. The placing in sequence on
the three final Saturdays of the
Delaware Park meeting the $780,
900 Delaware Oaks for fillies, the
$4,000 New Castle for fillies and
mares, and the newly-named $780,
600 gross value Delaware Handi-
cap also for fillies and mares,
thus making available almost a
quarter of a million dollars for
the distaff side of the thorough
bred family, the three events thus
placed being unique in America
and perhaps in the world.
A. The establishment in the Del
aware Handicap of nominator-
breeder awards in amount $4,000
which, under a bonus arrange
ment, can become $4,000 or $780,
600, contingent upon whether a
given horse has also previously
started in the Oaks or the New
Castle,-thus assuring large and
competitive fields of the best
horses popular with the public.
The plan is new in racing.
5. The building up by proper
promotional methods of big
day" such as the Kentucky Derby,
with the Delaware Handicap in
the place of honor on the final
Saturday each race meeting, and
thus available for coast-to-coast
television such as attends other
classic thoroughbred events in New
York, the midwest and the Pacific
coast.
The foregoing steps have been
discussed in close confidence for
many months by officials at Della
ware Park who have seen for
some time that the racing "ipc-
