 Fairbanks Creamery With SI5,000 Addition

A $15,OO0 addition is being planned for the Matanuka Val ley Farmers Cooperating Associa- ton branch creamery at Fair banks, according to an announce ment made this week by Stewart Ourrant, Coop general manager.
 Increases in military business as well as in ice cream sales m the far-north city have made the addition necessary, he pointed out. The addition will house in- creased cool-room space for the milk and sharp-room spara for ice cream.
 Tn addition to the expansion of the Fairbanks branch, Durrant said Coop officials hope to be able to contract for the construc- ton of the new $100,000 Matan- uska Dairy building in Anchor age within a short time. An nouncements of plans to con struct new and larger build ing in the Spenard district of the Anchorage market area were made in mid-February. The dis tributing plant will consist of a large sharp room, refrigerated sections and vegetable storage space. The new building will sup plant present quarters which have long ceased to be adequate for the growing Anchorage area market.

The city street department is busy this week trying to keep up with the rapid thaw which hit the valley. Russ Eel zien of the street department and Ted Buzby of the water department are working to- gether with the thaw machine, opening culverts and attempt ing to keep the water moving. The freeze-ups during the night are making their job double-difficult.
 Members of the city council said this week that they are making every effort to keep the run-off away from private property but because roads and bar pits are still frozen there is little that can be done to remedy some of the situa- tions.
 Homeowners who have cleo trically operated furnaces are reminded of the danger if water comes into the base ments. It is recommended that before stepping in the water the homeowner be sure the power is shut off.

E. ADAMS HEADS
 COLLEGE FUND DRlv E: IN VALLEY DIST TRlCT

Everett Adams, Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce president, and manager of the Palmer Piggly- -Wiggly store, will act as valley chairman in a cam paign to raise funds in the val ley for the Methodist College which will be constructed in An chorage.
 Visiting Palmer on Wednesday of this week were Henry Cuffel, Ross Kenneman, William Cruth- CTS and D. +. Woodring of An chorage, all actively engaged in the college campaign in the An chorage area.
 Speaking to a group of Palmer residents, the men pointed out the many benefits the new col lege will offer not only to the territory and Anchorage area, but to the Matanuska Valley as well.
 Cruthers announced that as of Wednesday total of $273,0O0 had been raised in the Anchorage campaign. We Alaskans are be- ing asked to raise $50O,000. That is all we will have to contribute toward this $5,OOO,00O college, he pointed out. Tn addition, in time to come the Methodist Church will add another $5,OOO,- GOO in buildings and other con struction. What better investment could an Alaskan make? It has been estimated that in 1857 there will be 1900 high school gradua- ates. At the present time figures show only about 20 percent of this group is going on to college. With this non-sectarian, liberal arts college in Alaska we feel 50 percent of the high school graduates will go on to further their eddcation, and will even tually become the leaders of their communities. Right now 95 per cent of the students going out to the States for their higher education do not return to Alas ka. We therefore lose this trained and competent leadership in our communities"
 "Culturally, socially and busi- ness-wise, the college will mean a great deal to the people ot Alaska" Kenneman pointed out to the group. "A college raises the level Of education in the com nunity. Many young people who cannot afford to attend college outside would be able to stay al home in or near Anchorage and attend the four-year liberal arts Alaska Methodist College, A col lege opens up a whole new so- cial life and social contacts. II furnishes recreational facilities for active and spectator sports and a chance for students to ge' together and play together" he stated.
 In Palmer soliciting will be done by a committee composed of members of the community who will make personal calls pr the residents of the valley. The Alaska Methodist College com mittee is non-sectarian and many of it's members have no connec- ton with the Methodist Church They are persons who are inter ested in fostering higher educa- ton in Alaska. Tn the states, the Methodist Church organizations will sponsor the subscription of funds.
 This is the only fund raising campaign that will be held. How
