PAGE FIVE I NEW EFFORTS TO DISCAROJELIEF Farmers Buy Colony Trading Post and Warehouse Dicker for Civic Center. are requested to bring salad or vegetable. "Care of the hair" will be the topic and Marjorie Van Gordon and Lois White will be leaders. Anyone interested is cordially invited. Palmer, Alaska, Dec. 14. VP) Out of the frozen hopes of an unseasonal early fall snow storm, farmers in Uncle Sam's Matanuska colony- announced today another step toward eco nomic independence. ' The Matanuska Valley Farm ers' Cooperative reported the purchase of all inventory stock in the colony trading post and warehouse, which together do an annual gross business of $220,000. Negotiations were announced under way also for the Co-op to take over all units in Pal mer's "civic center." The government-financed Alaska Rural Rehabilitation corporation has been the operator since the col ony was founded as an eco nomic and social experiment with distressed farm families from the mid-west four years ago. Would Drop Relief. The latest moves followed the Co-op's assumption in July of the creamery, produce and meat departments, and the statement by Co-op Manager L. C. Stock that "we must completely di vorce the project from govern ment relief." "I anticipate that it will take five years more to place this project on a firm founda tion with the proper volume of farm produce required to make the farms self-supporting and on a paying basis," he add ed today. Mrs. Ivan Wilson, Matanuska Weekly editor and prominent farmer's wife, commented: "The farmers do not want relief, but an opportunity to become in dependent and self-supporting. The transfer, when completed, will terminate a long struggle and dissatisfaction between farmers and the A.R.R.C." Optimism Rises. The cooperative developments came as the settlers' optimism was rising after a snowstorm that threw a scare into the colony in October. Livestock was reported in good condition and one of the mildest winters in many years has prevailed except for a few hours below zero. Only two or three inches of snow remains in the fields. About 40 head of bull calves and old cows were butchered after the feed shortage scare of October's storm, but farmers say it was only a beneficial herd pruning. The total esti mated crop loss was placed at only about three per cent after crops which were uncut were grazed over by livestock. 41 GERMANS DIE IN SEVENTH RAIL CM Hagen, Germany, Dec. 14.
