"Build Alaska—Buy the Best—Buy Matanuska Maid—Alaska's Best"
4-H Medal Winner
Tells cf Tiials
And Tribulations
It takes a lot of hard work and
oatience to make an attractive
lawn around a homestead cabin,
declares 4-H member, Florine
Neal of WasfUa. She should know
... as the result of her hard work
and patience this year she was
awarded a district gold medal
for achievements in her 4-H Yard
Improvement Project.
Miss Neal, 15-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Neal,
lives with her family on a home
stead about six miles from Was
illa. This year she began her yard
a wood pile from the lawn area.
She said it looked pretty hope
j less at first, but with the help of
| family, debris and rocks were
I picked up and the appearance
| greatly improved. Then followed
! hauling top soil, and the fun be
gan with the planting of flowers
and lawn, transplanting of trees
from the woods and exchanging
plants with neighbors.
For a while things went well
for her . . . the lawn grew and
flowers began to bloom, then the
geese and calves found them in
viting, too. The 4-H winner says
about that time she would have
-given up in discouragement if it
hadn’t been for the inspiration
and encouragement of her 4-H
leader, Mrs. Paul Martin.
Florine replanted patches of
grass destroyed by the animals
and fertilized additional spots so
that the yard continued to be a
spot of beauy. She plans to con
tinue her yard improvement pro
ject next year. In addition to her
project, she is also a member of
the Big Lake Homesteaders 4-H
club and carired projects in food
preparation and clothing.

Fire Marshal Urges
Fire-Safe Christmas
Every year, from a few days
before Christmas until the week
following New Year’s a plague of
fires rage up and down the .coun
try. Many of these fires result
from the extra hazards which ex
ist only during the holiday sea
son, and from carelessness that
would not be tolerated at any
other time, points out Hilton E.
Dearinger, Alaska Fire Marshal.
These tragedies are all so need
less if you will take a few minu
tes to follow simple fire safety
rules that make for a fire-safe
Christmas, he adds.
CHRISTMAS SAFETY - begins
with the tree:
Do buy a fresh tree. Bring it
indoors as short a time before
Christmas as possible.
Place tree in water-filled, non
tippable container . . . add water
daily to lessen drying.
Do not place tree near Fire
place, heater, or stove; nor where
it will block a stairway or exit.
Use metal apd glass ornaments
which will not burn.
Do not use lighted candles on
tree or smoke near a tree.
Use only electrical equipment
with UL seal.
Check for frayed wire's, loose
connections, and broken sockets
before you light sets carried over
from year to year.
Do not overload electrical cir
cuits with lights or decorations.
Turn the tree lights out before
leaving the house.

SALES REACH
HALF-WAY MARK
Approximately $18,300 has al
ready been raised in the 1958S
Christmas Seal Sale of the Al
aska Tuberculosis Association
and its 17 affiliated committees.
The figure is almost one half the
total amount realized in the 195T
sale which was $38,385.
At the present time the town of
Bethel leads all other local com
mittees in Alaska in having sur
passed its final sale of a year ago*
by $67.17. E. G. Skeen is Seat
Sale Chairman in Bethel.
Mrs. Eugene Kirseh, Palmer
Seal Sale Chairman reports that
local receipts to date amount to
$478. Palmer's final 1957 Seal.
Sale amounted to $773.50.
Christmas Seals have become a
traditional part of Christmas in
America. The sale is part of a
nationwide campaign started 50
years ago in the United States
and 25 years ago in Alaska to
help the voluntary movement
against tuberculosis. Ninety-four
percent of all monies raised in
Alaska stays in Alaska. Proceeds
from the sale of seals are used for
activities in research, health edu
cation, rehabilitation, case find
ing, and patient services.
