HOME MAKERS CLUB
 NOTES
GoIddusfers

The Goldduster's Homemakers' club held their Christmas party at the home of Faith Krause. Ex- cept for a short business meeting, games, gift opening, and a mass sampling of Christmas goodies provided the evenings entertain ment. Many of us will probably have to resolve to cut calories in the New Year, as a result.
 Five of our members will work with the X-ray mobile unit this week.
 Our January meeting will be held at Beverly Leiser's at the Palmer Nursery next Wednesday, January 12. An interesting pro- gram is planned.

GAME HEARING DRAWS GOOD CROWD

A large group of area sports men (and women) gathered in the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen quarters on Tuesday of this week for the annual Game Hearing, conducted throughout the terri tory by members of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Among recommendations made by local sportsmen was visible identification badge showing the license number of the hunter. Such badge to be worn while hunting.
 Other recommendations would prohibit the use of hard-nose am- munition; publish names of game violators; close Echo and Faulk's lakes to all but miners 16 years old or younger; open Wasilla Lake from May 28 to March IS; and no closed season on fox in the Matanuska Valley and permit taking fox by any means except poison.
 Holger Larson, FWS enforce ment officer who was in atten- dance at the meeting, told sports men club members that certain wild animals may be kept in cap tivity if sponsored by organiza tionS.

George Washington Univer-
sity faces three major tasks be-
fore closing this basketball sea-
son, and william and Mary, for
one, will testify that the CO.
Ionials are ready to clean up all
the jobs with dispatch.
There apparently is another
fine season awaiting the Colon
ials next year, but first comes
the business at hand-beating
North Carolina State for the
first time in is years Saturday
night in Raleigh. smashing West
Virginia on the way to the
Southern Conference champion
ship and grabbing the MEGA
tournament title for the first
time in history.
q A large order? Yes. But the
Colonials have the weapons, and
moreover, are in the proper
frame of mind.
All-Time High for CIV.
A 1876 victory over William
and Mary last night at Uline
Arena-an all-time scoring total
for GW-was no indication of
the Colonials' feelings for the
outclassed Indians. The Indians
were merely a symbol for the
Mountaineers, who upset CIV
last week, and those who con-
duct the Associated Press poll.
The loss to West Virginia. GW's
fourth of the season, dropped
the Colonials from fifth to 10th
place in the weekly poll.
II can't understand it," Boyd
Baird, the W8SM coach, said last
night. 'fEverytime CIV loses a
game it drops five. places in that
poll. It doesn't happen to the
other teams. So far as the con-
ference tournament is concerned,
CIV is seeded second, but they
deserve the top spot. They're a
better team than West Virginia

West Virginia was seeded No.

Spec Gets Beef Back
In Bid to Recover

ORLANDO, Fla. Feb. 24.-Spec
Shea stepped on the scales in
the Senator'S clubhouse yester-
day and when the metal extern
sion balanced delicately at a
formidable 222 pounds - "a
pounds over his weight of a
year ago-there were expressions
of satisfaction all around.
The jolly Irishman checked in
at 1913 pounds last spring and
his bosses promptly issued glow
ing predictions. II never felt
better in my life," Shea exclaimed
at the time and Clark Griffith
happily shelled out $40. Seems
he had bet Spec wouldn't report
under 200 pounds.
Shea was a key figure in q
starting staff which Griff labeled
his best In 80 years, or since
Washington boasted its 1924
world championship club. Shea,

Rinehart Outlines
Program for More
Maryland Race Days
By the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. "a
Eldred Rinehart, Maryland Rae
ing Commission chairman, sought
today to convince legislative
leaders they should recommend
more days of racing that would
produce $750.000 in additional
revenue for the State.
Rinehart outlined to leaders of
both parties a program that
would provide more days for all
tracks. -
His proposal would increase
the total of mile racing days
from 100 to 108, of half milers
from so to so and harness tracks
from 80 to 96.
The chairman said 1t was a
program that should have been
adopted years ago as beneficial
to both the tracks and the State.
Each of the mile tracks would
have SO days each instead of
dividing 100 days with one of
them getting "a days every third
year and the others 80.
Each of the half-mile tracks
would run IL days instead Of 10.
This would eliminate the neces-
sity for lack Of racing on Mon
days and Tuesdays at the start
Of a meeting,
The harness tracks would be
allotted % nights this summer
and "a thereafter. They would
get no allowance for rain can
cellations as they do now.
Rinehart is proposing that the
State Fair Board be given $10,-
900 more from the additional
revenue and the Horsemen's
Breeding Association. Share of
State revenue be increased from
$4,000 to $1,000.
