and girls as they grow older. It does this
by training then, to make more intelligent
use of the assets of rural life. It has
served as a means of bringing large numbers;
together in urban areas rhero they become
better acquainted with boys and girls in
their counties and states. No longer do we
find the gawky country boy or girl so rid
iculed by their city cousins. The tables
are being reversed and today the 4-H Club
member has the advantage over the city cou
sin in many respects.
The Matanuska Valley needs the 4-H Club
work; If you doubt the value of its influ
ence , just consider members who have boon
active in the work for a number of years.

whose achievements speak for themselves.
Enrollment in 4-H Clubs is now in full
swing. See that your boy or girl gets in
to one. Leaders are also needed. If you
can help in any way, your service will be
greatly appreciated.
SUNb BORG DISCUS: ES STATEHOOD
George Sundborg, Dxecutive Assistant to
Governor "ruening and Consultant to the
Alaska Development “card, discussed Valley
problems with the 3card of Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce and a few others
!'onday noon at a Luncheon.
Ir discussing the Jones Act in relation to
Alaska, Idr. Svndborg explained'that the
Jones Act provides that goods carried be
tween ports in the United States must be
Carried in U. S. Vessels, but where the
merchandise was carried partly on the rail
road of a foreign country to a wort a ves- |
sel of that country could nick it up and j
carry it to the U.S. This is permitted
ever where except to Alaska. T1. o bills have
been introduced recently to remove this
discrimination.
Mr. Svndborg ras asked about the expense
of a County government set-up in the Terri-i
tory where population is so scattered. I!rj
Sundborg replied that the County system • '
would not be necessary. The State, he ex-i
plained, might be able to continue to keen,
up the Court system. A state would have
control over the fisheries -and there would ;
be no Federal Control over fish taxes.
””0 have a long way'to go before we are
ready for Statehood,” Hr, Svndborg said.
"'e should have a Commission to study and I
work out the problems of Statehood. Hawaii
has such a commission working on Statehood,
Don Irwin suggested that committees from
C. of C’p in Alaska hold joint meetings to
form such a commission.
~n regard to marketing problems of the

Valley, Hr, Snndborg said that we need a
better system of marketing and. price con
trol, noro uniform standards of grading
and a concentrated advertising program.
