Hats off to the "Kilowatt 4
H’ers" at the Eklutna Housing
Project! A brand new club of
13 members is getting off to a
good start with Mrs. Jeanette
Draze, Mrs. Mildred Gnass, iMrs.

growth of the body when young
and for continuous repair at all
ages. It is important for three
nutrients, the mineral, calcium,
B vitamin, riboflavin, and protein.
Recipes and bulletins on use
of milk and dairy products may
be secured from the Extension
office.
