Planned for Bazaar
One of the interesting booths
at the November 16 Catholic
Church bazaar will feature home
baked and made food items in
fresh eggs and chickens will be
eluding cakes pies, jellies—even
available. These items will be on
sale at reasonable prices. Also
being sold at the same booth will
be refreshments so that people
attending may not only buy that
good looking cake, but have a
slice of another just like it.
Of interest to the children will
be the giant fish pond where
every cast is a bit. Every young
angler will find an interesting
prize at the end of his line when
de pails back from his cast.
Nearly every booth will h«*"x

as a variety of linens. Many ap

be offered for sale. Tea towel

many additional items in this

One booth will be devoted en

another for that very popular
costume jewelry—another for re
ligious articles— and fun for all
members of the family.
Admission to the bazaar will
be free as in past years. The
doors are slated to open at 7:30
half an hour later than usual, to
allow time for the families to
complete their home chores be
fore leaving for an evening of
fun.
A number of valuable prizes
will be awarded during the eve
ning.

GREATER PALMER AREA RECEIVES
OVER $125,000 IN C-D EQUIPMENT
A1 V. Hagen, Greater Palmer
Area C-D director, states that
this area has received nearly a
quarter million dollars worth of
benefits through the Civil Defense
program. These material benefits
range from a $75,000 300-KVA
generating plant to small com
passes, first aid equipment, type
writers, fire trucks, electric stov
es, sinks, chairs, and many addi
tional items.
“If all C-D items in the valley
had large signs on them, resi
• dnts would be more aware of the
amount of help each organization
and individual have received thr
ough C-D”, the director stated.
“Just look around you, then ask
what C-D has done for you and
your favorite civic enterprise . . .
then ask yourself, ‘What have I
done for the community in the
framework of civil defense?’ . . .
then join the C-D community
work and get behind Civil De
fense.”
Hagen states that the area C-D
now has five sirens operating
or being installed, with one at
each of the following areas: Sut
ton-Alpine, Butte, Experiment
Farm, Wasilla, and the city of
Palmer.

Ed Smith, deputy director, has
been busy these days Hagen re
ported, getting the Butte com
munity hall lined up as a mass
feeding station under Civil De
fense. The community hall will
be benefited through C-D by an
electric stove, hot water heater,
pots and pans, and double kitch
en sink. The Butte area has two
quonset huts, blankets, sleeping
bags, first aid supplies, stretch
ers, all purpose gas and smoke
mask, and many additional items.
Smith said most of these items are
paid for by the community area or
group at four cents of the acquisi
tion cost. Mike Vasille, Butte C-D
area director states “ . . . now
