HONORS PIONEER
VALLEY HOMEMAKERS
There was standing room only
at the Homemakers Tea last
Wednesday afternoon when Val
ley homemakers joined in cele

Mothers’ mother-in-law, and
grandmothers sat in stunned sil

associate director for Home Dem

cing about the first home demon
station club, organized at Mat
anuska, and about the pioneer
mothers who arrived in the Val
ley at that time. No names were
mentioned but many clues were
given until finally the audience
began to speculate on the iden
tity of these pioneer women.
Finally from behind the “my
stery” curtain came daughters
and grandchildren of these wo
men. The guests-of-honor had
been told they were to give no
speeches—'which was well plan
ned, for these mothers were
speechless as “This is your Life”
unfolded. One daughter traveled
from Seward to surprise and hon
or her mother. Especially honor
ed were nine mothers whose
daughters came from other cities
to spend the day. They were: Mrs.
Jesse Kepler, Mrs. Fannie Wer
ner, Mrs. Loren McKechnie, Mrs.
M. D. Snodgrass, Mrs. Don L.
Irwin, Mrs Harry Duff, Mrs.
Harold Dinkle, Mrs. George
Plumiey, and Mrs. Archie Moffitit.
Thirty-four other mothers whose
families live in the valley were
called to be honored and all re
ceived gifts from Valley merch
ants. From Koslosky’s they re
ceived gift certificates; Palmer
Nursey, plants; Spring Creek
Lodge, dinners; Co-Op Trading

TEN BILLION MILES OF:
The time-tested, performance-proved
4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck
The 4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck, like all
vehicles in the ‘Jeep’ family, is time-tested
and performance-proved. It has the “go*
anywhere” ability to take you over the
toughest terrain, the extra versatility to
do many different jobs.
Before you buy any 4-wheel drive truck
remember this: only ONE has been time
tested over many years, only ONE has
been performance-proved through count
less miles of the most strenuous transport
service. That ONE is the rugged, 4-Wheel
Drive ‘Jeep’ Truck. No other 4-wheel
drive truck even approaches its amazing
performance-proved record. So, why ex
periment or settle for less than the only
time-tested 4-wheel drive truck in its
weight class-the 4-Wheel-Drive ‘Jeep’
Truck that gives you more performance
proved value.
Rugged ‘Jeep’ Trucks are functionally de
signed with time-saving features like
high-skirted fenders and a full-opening
hood that puts the engine within easy
reach for servicing. Put it squarely up to
your ‘Jeep’ dealer to show you what this
performance-proved Truck can do for you.
He’ll be glad to arrange a demonstration.
4-WHEEL-DRIVE
•An understood estimate of the
miles of transport service driven
by 'Jeep' family vehicles. Some
estimates place the mileage at
More than fifty billion.
