SpORTSMEN ANNOUNCE
NEW DINNER PLANS

"A number of innovations are
planned for the October rs Ma
tanuSka Valley Sportsmen annual
Wild game dinner it was an
nounced this week.
Eugene Kirsch, program chair
man, has been busy preparing
what he hopes will be very en-
Joyable entertainment. The com
mittee states, Something new
has been added to this depart
ment".
Mary Louise Johns, decoration
chairman, is trimming over with
new ideas and plans, and the
committee says they are sure
everyone will be enthusiastic
with the results.
The cO-chairnen believe they
have found a way to keep the
food warm! They have requested
that all roasts, or other hot dish
eS, be carved or cut into serving
portions before being taken to
the hall. All hot dishes should
be wrapped in foil as these foods
will be served from the dishes.
There will be no meat cutters
this year. By eliminating this
chore the committee hopes guests
will be able to eat much earlier
than past years. All members are
asked to have their food at the
hall before s pm, and to take
plenty.
Tickets are available at Maud's
Flower Shop and members are
reminded they are entitled to
take guest. The dinner is to be
held in the Central School gym

gest portion Of the bill BY the
insurance company.
There are two definite reasons
why the hospital IS 80 extremely
short of cash at the present time,
according to Allan Mick, Associa-
ton president. First, he explain
ed. insurance payments from the
companies are tagging about 60
days and secondly, there has been
a big influx of self pay patients.
This term ,self-pay patient is
ambiguous, Mick pointed out, in
that in many cases these persons
who are not covered by insur-
ance and are directly responsible
for the payment Of the bill, do not
have the money with which to
pay it. Consequently, the costs of
the patients care falls on the hos
pital until such time as the pa
tient can make payment 1n the
meantime the costs of operating
the hospital continue and bills
must be met as presented.
Creamery employees were r.
ported To have felt that it was
important to keep our customer
the hospitaD, and that II was a
community duty to see that pa
tients received their whole milk
each day" Eighteen employees
took part i'm the contribution.

1pation in the annual Music Fes-
tlval which this year is to be
held in Fairbanks.
1t was voted that the Festival
will be held in that city and that
all schools whose funds permit
will participate. A large group
OF smaller schools were Of the
opinion that because of the high
cost OF transportation of chorus
and band students, it would not
be feasible to participate i'm
Fairbanks this year, and it was
suggested that a smaller festival
be held elsewhere for these
smaller schools.
School representatives are
promoting a one-act play contest
and Palmer will be the first host
school for the contest. Each
school will be invited to enter
a 20 to IS minute one-act play
with from one to 10 in the cast
IN either the comedy or drama
divisions. They pointed out this
will offer an opportunity for a
ggreat number of students to do
good work.
Representatives. were in at
tendance from high schools In
Fairbanks, Kodiak, Palmer. An
chorage, Seward, Cordova, Was
lila, Valdez, Seldovia, Eielson Air

of a squeeze might be developed
for IL tricks. For example, one
Of the defenders might hold his
SIDES only shoppers in both
clubs and diamonds. AS you
can see the cards were so
distributed.
To set up the squeeze posi-
ton, Mr.. Champion planned to
concede the first trick. He could
then win the expected spade
continuation and cash all of
his trumps and the other high
spade. That would get every
body down to four cards.
Dummy would have four dia-
monds to the ace-jack. Mr..
Champion would have a dia-
mond and his original three
clubs.
On the lead of the last trump
at trick nine. Mr.. Abel would
have to play a card from a
holding of the kind and queen
of diamonds and Q-P-l0 of
clubs. Any discard he chose
would give Mr.. Champion the
rest of the tricks.
A very fine plan-except that
Mr.. Muzzy fouled the whole
thing up by shifting to a dia-
mond when he was permitted
to hold the first trick. This
knocked out q vital entry to
the board and ruined the
chance for a squeeze.
Mr.. Champion went down one.
He shook his head sadly. "You
make about one good play a
year. Muzzy." he remarked.
why do you always have to
make it against me?"
II tell you why / shifted to
a diamond" said Mr.. Muzzy
"On the first trick Abel played
a high spade. the eight spot.
knew that was a signal asking
for q shift to the higher Of the
other two plain suits"
Mr. Champion groaned. If
you'd watch the cards, Muzzy." "
he beloved. you'd have real
lied that Abel wasn't flashing
a high spade. The eight was
the lowest spade he had. It's
not your shifting to q diamond.

Removal as
Only Answer

Governor Orval Faubus said
this week that he sees no solu-
tion TO the Little Rock school
integration crisis unless the nine
Negro students stop attending
the school.
He said: II have been thinking
about this problem constantly,
studying IL from every angle,
and | can see no other alterna-
tive than a voluntary withdraw
al of those children"
The Army has announced
later IN the week that all Fed
erai troops will be Withdrawn
from Little Rock in view of
the bcttered situation.
This action has come in direct
opposition TO Faubus' earlier
statement in which he said. "the
Federal Government will have
10 keep troops guarding Central
High until the end of this school
year because opposition Is
stronger now than when they
came in"
Faubus claims that feeling In
Little Rock Is running high,
that there are boycotts and
counter boycotis around the
state between Negroes and
whites. lie also contends that
the National Association for the
Advancement OF Colorcd People
had picked Little Rock as a
place TO push the integration
fight and has used II as a "show
