TLO ALICE DINKEL
It is fortunate that the first girl to re-!
present Alaska at the 4-H Club Congress in
Chicago is a member with a recoijJ as out
standing as that of FLo Alice Dinkel from
Fasilla. Ho Alice cane to Alaska with
her parents^to the Valley in the early
part of 1937. She is one of 6 children.

10 Then she joined the Baking Club with

mother was in the hospital much of the ’
time during her second year in this club,
Flo Alice planned and prepared all the
meals for 7 people. In addition to this
she had time to enteh baking exhibits, on
which she won prises, at the Fair.
Her next choice was the Carden project, '
•■hich she carried on for 4 years, beginning
with a plot about 10* x 20* square And end
ing with one nearly an acre in sizo, all
of which produced products rating prises
at the Fair. During the fourth year she
made $100 on her potato crop.
It is pnly natural that the desire to pre
serve these fine garden products should
have led Flo Alide to choose Canning for
her next project. This project she car
ried on fot 4 years, canning 150 jars th6
first year, 175 the second, 200 the third,
and 283 the fourth. The first year she

one.. She also Entered the Sears Roebuck

past year she canned'over 20'varietiesJ
including vegetables, fruits, and'meat,
and exhibited 21 jars at the Fair.

so far. She says she is looking forward•'
to her third year of clothing rork (next

younger sister after completing the re
ruiremonts and made 13‘articles of'cloth
ing. She exhibited a £iip, dickoy,skirt,
ar.d blouse at the Fair, winning one blue

ilo Alice is a real 4-H*er and an asset
