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

(VP) Seventeen persons were

Germany since the outbreak -o
war. A total of 123 person
have been killed and more tha
158 injured. Last Sunday 1!
persons were killed when r

RED CROSS CHUN
REAPPOINTED BY F. R.;
Washington, Dec. 14. (VP)
President Roosevelt re-appointed
Norman "I. Davis today as
chairman of the American Red
Cross.
The action, announced at a
meeting of the board of incor
porators, was praised by Chief
Justice Hughes, a Red Cross
vice-president, who expressed
gratification that in a "period
of emergency" the Red Cross
chairman is "a man whose long
experience in international and
domestic affairs makes him a
statesmanlike leader."
In connection with the meet
ing it was announced the or
ganization has reached new
peacetime membership peak of
7,047,251.
Three new members were
elected to the board of incor
porators Edward A. O'Neal,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation; Dr. Thomas
Parran, Jr., surgeon - general;
and John L. Lewis, president
of the CI O.
Hughes, commenting on the
efforts of the Red Cross to dis
patch relief to war-torn Europe,
said that "we have been thrill
ed at the immediate response
that was given to the need of
those afflicted, brave and cour
ageous people who nave been
so brutally attacked."

Oregon's Scenery
Neglected, Claim
Portland, Dec. 14. (VP) If
a choice had to be made be
tween Oregon's timber resources
and scenery, Representative
Daniel A. Reed of New York
would take the scenery.
The member of the joint con
gressional forestry policy com
mittee told the Portland cham
ber of commerce "Oregon's
scenic beauty is not as well ad
vertised as it ought to be
it should bring a flood of tour
ist dollars, not to mention its
great spiritual value."
