Without doubt, one of the most successful phases of the Matanuska Valley colonization of 1885 is the Matanuska Valley . Farmers Cooperating Association which was organized during early colony days as the market ing and purchasing agency for newly arrived colonists. Tn the years since the farmers themsel- yes took over control of their Coop it has built into an asso- citation that markets over a mil lion dollars worth of agricultural produce each year as well as d similar amount of other business. Being a cooperative business, it is owned by farmer members who acquire their equity by pat ronage of the various association departments.
 When the colonists arrived from the states of Wisconsin Minnesota and other nearby states, they found an unsettled land; lived in tents until their farms were built. Tn addition to their farms however, the new set tiers needed stores, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and processing plants. These were built and op- erated by the Alaska Rural Re- mobilization Corporation until 1940 whn they were sold to the newly formed cooperative asso- citation. The ARRC played a ma jor role in the development of the Matanuska Valley - recruiting the settlers and furnishing the equipment and commodities needed. The amount spent on each farm became part of that farmers loan, repayable over 30-year period at three percent interest.
 The ARRC sold the community facilities to the Coop Associa- ton for approximately one-half million dollars, also on 30- year, low-interest loan. These payments have always been met by the Association. At the pres ent rate of repayment, the loan will be paid off ten years ahead of schedule.
 Withstanding many difficulties at the start, the Coop has pros pered and made considerable progress the past Is years. Dur ing the war when many busines- ses experienced a boom, the Ma tanuSka farmer found that he must compete with stateside pric- es in order to sell his agricultur- al products. Following over

LOCAL COOP, AREAS BIGGEST BUSINESS, GREW WITH VALLEY

wears work, the Coop was able to get the Army's policy changed to allow for spoilage and trans portation differences. Since that time they have become a valued customer and have helped the farm economy of the valley inn measurably.
 Leading department in the Co., Op business is the dairy indus try. This is the largest phase of the Coop and produces pasteur ized and homogenized grade-A milk, whipping cream, butter milk, cottage cheese, and ice cream. The latter product has for the past two years, taken top prizes in national ice cream con- tests; in 1854 winning first place with three flavors and in 1855 receiving winning certificates by grading at 92.5 on three submit ted flavors. "The "Matanuska Maid" ice cream was entered in competition against large nation al ice cream producers. An ex- pansion program started in 1853 includes a $75,000 addition to the Palmer plant; the construction of the third of million dollar Ma tanuska Creamery at Fairbanks, Alaska. sPresent expansion work will add an addition to the far north creamery and the construc- tion of a $125,O00 plant in Spen- ard, just outside Anchorage, All aska. The latest acquisition in the dairy department is an automa- tic, individual ice cream slice wrapper. This is the first ma chine of it's type in this area and means that instead of the old method of pouring soft ice cream in molds freezing in the sharp room and then slicing, sliced ice cream may now be purchased by the customers already sliced and wrapped in individual pieces. This machine will be displayed during open house at the creamery during the Colony Day celebration.
 Tn addition to the milk and it's by-products business, egg pro- duction for the Coop rates high. "Matanuska Maid" eggs are much in demand in spite of keen competition of airborne eggs from the States. Produce from the Valley Coop finds a ready and popular market, with tons of potatoes, cabbages, carrots, lettuce, celery and other vege- tables handled yearly by the As sociation's produce department.
 During the past 10 years, sales
The frontiersman., 1955-05-26

have increased 45O percent. Re- tail and wholesale business is conducted at the Warehouse, Trading Post Garage and Bulk Oil plant.
 At the Warehouse, feeds, fertil- izers, seeds, hardware items, household appliances, hunting and fishing supplies, and barn equipment and supplies, make it the most complete farm store in Alaska.
 The Trading Post carries a full line of meats, groceries, dry goods, clothing and shoes. The Garage has a well-equipped ma chine and repair shop and sells a large percentage of the valleys farm equipment.
 Today there are 125 producing members of the Association. To become a member the farmer contracts to sell his agricultural products through the Coop. When his application is accepted he becomes a member for a pro- bation period of one year, follow ing which he acquires the right to vote in the associations af- fairs. In addition to the produc- ing members there are 1000 con- sumer members who participate in the same way as producer members, except for voting rights.
 A board of seven directors are elected by the membership dur ing the annual meetings. Presi- dent of the present board is John Nash, who is a valley poul- try farmer. Clifton Grover, dairy farmer is vice-president; secre-

Isle Expedition

OSLO, Norway. July IA (P.-A
Norwegian archaeological expedi-
tion headed by Explorer Thor
Heyerdahl Of Kon-Tiki fame will
sail for the Pacific in September
in the first serious attempt to
solve the riddle of Easter Island.
At a news conference yester-
day Mr.. Heyerdahl said the one
year expedition will round off his
work to seeking to confirm his
theory that many South Pacific
islands were settled from Peru
and Ecuador.
Easter Island, q tiny as
square-mile volcanic rock poking
up from the Pacific about 1880
miles OF the coast Of South
America. is known for its mys-
terious stone statues, some OF
them 80 feet tall. The statues,
hewn from the volcanic rock by
some prehistoric people. weigh
up to so tons each.
Mr.. Heyerdahl said no traces
have been found Of the sculptors,
apart from the quarry where the
statues were carved and some
stone axes.
He said two previous expedi-
tions, one British and one
French and Belgian, have visited
the island since O Dutch seafarer
discovered 1t in 1922. But none
Of them did any digging to trace
the vanished race Of stone
carvers.

CHICAGO. July II AP)-
Legislatures In four more States
cracked down this year on char
ity rackets, said to be fleeing
the public of up to $12o million
annually.
Income tax statistics show
that an average American fam
lily doles out about sss a year to
charities ranging from lonely
street corner beggars to Nation
wide drives.
An Associated Press survey
shows that Maine. Utah. New
Mexico and Oklahoma either
adopted new charity laws or
made existing laws tighter this
year. At least five. States al
ready had laws to monitor char
fly operations. Proposals for
charity laws in eight other
States were either defeated,
killed in committee actions. or
!are pending.
1 Most of this years legislation
followed a pattern set by New
York last year. After hearing a
lcommittee report on charity
abuses, the New York Legisla-
ture adopted law requiring
charity organizations to register
with the State Department of
Welfare.
Study By Foundation
The Russell Sage Foundation
told the New York Legislative
committee that between $100
million and $120 million was
taken every year by charity
rackets. The foundation arrived
at the figure after a study of
the Nations philanthropic
organizations.
Oklahoma passed q similar
law this year requiring charity
groups to register with the Sec
retary Of State and file finan-
cial statements. However, Okla
homa lists a host Of exemptions
including churches, the Ameri-
can Red Cross, educational and
fraternal groups. New York
exempts only church groups.
Another law requiring chari-
ties to register for the first time
was put on the books in New
Mexico. The same law also re-
quires professional fund raisers
to register.
Maine made an existing law
tougher. Professional solicitors
must now register with the State
If they are making collections
away from the city where their
organization has its home Office.
They also must list their pay and
the purpose Of their fund drive.

Probe Spurred Action.
The New York investigation OF
charities was credited with spur
ring many legislatures to act
against unethical or illegal oper-
ations. More than a score OF
States wrote New York asking
for copies of the charity law.
Under the New York law. the
Attorney General was given the
power to sue for revocation Of
the violator's registration license,
but the main power Of the law
was in possible exposure. The
department Of welfare makes

this feature of the law would
force charities to clean them
selves up.
Bills with features similar to
the New York law failed to pass
in Kansas, Indiana, Michigan,
Texas, Iowa and Wyoming. Bills
are pending in Wisconsin and

Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
