Notes
By Frances Hulbert
The way to get a job done is
for everyone to pitch in and
work together believe the Chee
chako Homemakers’ Club. Since
they were on the room committee
for Homemakers Tea, they held
a work meeting at the United
Protestant church basement the
evening before, set up the chairs,
tables and arranged the room.
Everyone had a good time, they
report, work was made light, and
everything was in readiness for
the event the next day.
The new bulletins just received
‘•Rhubarb Culture” and “Trans
planting Hints” prepared by Ex
tension horticulturist Harold
Pill&'bury, are very timely. In
quire at the Extension Office.

How Standard's products helped build
Alaska's modern highway system
Alaskans can be proud of the rapid growth of their
highway system. In just ten years, most of the main high
ways north of the “panhandle” have been paved.
Fuels and lubricants from Standard helped build the very
first miles of highway in Alaska ... and most of the miles
that followed. From on-the-job experience Standard’s
scientists developed special, low temperature starting
fluids, motor oils and greases which help keep machinery
working long past the regular building season.
Standard* also supplied most of the asphalt products
i used by engineers to help give Alaska more miles of safe,
smooth, skid-resistant highways at less cost.
More and better highways hold an important key to
| Alaska’s future progress. To help speed that progress,
Standard is working with highway engineers on improved
construction methods for the roads that will open new
areas of Alaska’s great resources for development.
