Five deserving homemakers of

scholarships offered by the Pig
gly-Wiggly store were Mrs. Rob
ert Mielke, Mrs.. Wendall Lewis,
and Mrs. James Hulbert, all of
Palmer. Mrs. Harold Dinkle of
Wasilla was awarded the scholar
ship offered by the Matanuska
Valley Farmers Cooperating As
sociation and Mrs. Henry Lieb
ing of Palmer received the sch
olarship offered by the Alaska
Dairy of Anchorage.
Short Course is held each fall
at the University of Alaska ajjd
Is a well-rounded program gear
ed to the interests of home
makers, offering instructions in
varied phases of homemaking
and arts and crafts. The course
is attended annually by home
makers throughout the Terri
tory, who return to their com
munity with new ideas which
they pass along to their neigh
bors and fellow club members.
Several Visitors—
(Continued from page 1)
senting the Cordova Airlines has
reqeusted the support of the
valley Chamber in -airline’s at
tempt to get air mail service in
and out of Palmer. The firm has
found it necessary to curtail
their daily flight service to Pal
mer because they have been no
tified by the Postmaster General
that they can not carry airmail
until such time as CAB certifies
them for the flights to and from
Palmer. A telegram from the
Washington postal department
said in part that “there was no
apparent need for air mail ser
vice to Palmer because there
exists a good road between Pal
mer and Anchorage. Council
members cited instances of air
mail taking two and three days
to Seattle from Palmer whereas
•air mail out of Anchorage arriv
es an Seattle the following day.
ft was pointed out that Palmer
is the seventh city in Alaska in
postal receipts. Other Chambers
will be invited to support the
local Chamber in their request
that airmail service be extended
to the Palmer area. It was also
pointed out that to carry on busi
ness in Alaska it is most neces
sary that mail be carried in the
fastest possible way.
Plan Float
Ur/C. C. Bailey was named to
head a committee to plan a float
entry for the Valley Fair Parade
of Transportation which will be
held September 2.
The Sitka Chamber of Com
«ne»ee notified the local Cham
ber that they are supporting
• them in their attempt to get the
federal milk program extended
• to schools in Alaska.
« 'S- Trumbore, representative
ox the Armed Services Advertis
ing Association, told members
ihis firm ijs preparing a booklet
•on Elmendorf Air Force Base
which will be distributed to air
men prior to their transfer from
• Stateside bases to the Anchorage
•■area. The booklet is being pre
pared to help the airman and his
family become acquainted with
this area before their arrival.
-Be said 5,000 copies will be
printed and distributed through
• out .Stateside bases. He invited
advertising from the Valley area
end invited the local Chamber to
prepare an informative article
on the facilities that are found
in this section. Mr. Trumbore
pointed out that information
now available to future Alaskan
residents is somewhat distorted.
♦We hope through this booklet
to inform the airman and his
family of the modern stores,
churches, schools, and entertain
ment, found in Anchorage and
of the surrounding cities.
Also a guest at the meeting
was O. K. Kincaid, former
Palmerite, now of Kodiak, who
is conducting the annual audit
of the Palmer school system
books.

year, reports showed. In 1955
88,283 dozen eggs were purchas
by the Co-Op. During the past
year this figure dropped to 42,471
riozen, the lowest total in the
jpast 10 years. High cost of pro
duction and Stateside competi
tion has sent poultrymen into
other fields of agriculture, many
-going into the produce business.
Produce farmers sold the Co
Op 82 tons of lettuce last year.
This year’s production of lettuce
has already passed this figure.
Carrots totalled 170 tons; cab
bage 27 tons; celery 25 tons and
potatoes 1100 tons.
Dividends were declared at
11.7 percent this year.
A reorganization meeting was
held at the Church of Jesus
Christ Latter Day Saints on
Monday of this week. Douglas
Driggs, mission president of the
Northwest States Missions was
in Palmer from Portland for the
^meeting.
