BORDER METHODIST CHURCH

What Is more beautiful than the
sight of Christians crowding the
little white church on the corner
on a fresh spring morning; going
TO church to praise and thank
God for the many blessings he has
given them throughout the week.
Sunday. March ~, we such
morning at Border. The church
was crowded with people happy
to be in the house of the Lord.
Rev. Chas. Sections scripture

Fool Yourself" Man is created

but how far can he carry his
freedom. Many thing that he Is
free to do are not wise to do. To-
day man has the freedom to de-
velop the atomic bomb, but IL
they use il TO destroy man, what
will be the cost?
God is the almighty judge OF
freedom. The cost of becoming a
Christian is the forgetting Of all
that is past and giving your heart
TO Christ and living a new life.
There Is more Joy in heaven for
a sinner who repents than a So
called Christian who needs not
repent. Can you say that you are
good judge. Remember, don't
fool yourself"
We at Border are asking your
prayers for Mrs. Dosey Glanton

CHAMBER GUEST
 URGES FORMATION OF MST0 0RICAL SOCIETY

Herb Hilcher, author of Alas ka Now" and other books, was guest speaker at the May 4 meet ing of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce. Through oMt his talk Hilcher pointed out the need for the formation of his- torical societies in Alaska. "We must start collecting memorial pages now or our Alaskan his tory is going to be lost", he said.
 Hilcher is a charter member of the recently formed Cook h. let Historial Society and express ed his interest in getting group started in the Matanuska Valley, either as an independent society, or as an affiliate of the Anchorage group.
 He pointed out many advan- tages a, community has in know ing the history of their locale. Tourists are interested in histori- cal points of interest, many of which you people of the valley have right here, he stated
 If 8 hiStorial society could be formed here, he said, a prepared historical pamphlet could be sold for a small fee, directing the vis- itors to the interesting spots around the valley. It would make a good Sunday drive they could see where the colonists first ar- rived; the towns of Matanuska and Knik which once thrived during the early days; Wasilla and the interesting mining areas.
 The development of agricul- ture in the valley; the story of the Coop the Eklutna village the Eklutna power project Lake George these are but a few of the wonderful points of inter est you have in the valley, he pointed out.
 We would be happy to help organize such a group, Hilcher stated, and urged that with the wonderful source of information available through M. D. Snod- grass and Don. l.. Irwin, both longtime valley residents, such group be formed and work be started.
 Chamber members showed in- terest in his proposal and it is ex- pected that some action of his suggestion will be taken within the near future. All persons in- terested in the formation of such a society are asked to contact Everett Adams, chamber presi- dent.

All Girl Scout leaders, assist ant leaders and committee mem bers and mothers are reminded that Mrs. Marjorie Bailey will be in Palmer Monday night at ' pm. to assist in getting the camping program mapped out.
