4-H CLUB WINS
CONTEST PRIZE
Last May when “Beautify Pal
mer’’ was the slogan for every
civic minded club in the area,
“the Goldduster Homemaker Club
organization in the area which
would share in the beautification
program and make application
for the prize, telling what they
had done.
Only one club made applica
tion for the prize, the Beaters
4-H Club, and their sponsoring
organization, the Riverbend
Homemakers. For their project
they now receive the prize and
congratulations for their indus
trious participation.
As a project to help beautify
the city area 20 4-H members
and six homemakers met at the
home of Mrs. George Brewster
May 16 at 10 a.m. and started
out. Members were divided into
three groups which manned three
trucks driven by homemakers.
Xhiring the following two hours
approximately six miles of gar
bage-littered roadway, along the
Pishook and Farm Loop roads
were covered by the operation. A
halt was called when the trucks
were loaded with litter, mainly
empty beer cans. Following the
clean up, the squad gathered at
the Brewster home for a picnic
Hunch served by the Homemak
ers.
TThe Matanuska Valley cele
brated Colony Day on May 26
and featured a parade of floats.
Using the litterbug idea, The 4-H
Beaters entered a float, display
ing .some of the litter collected
along .the roadside with appro
spriate slogans such as “Could
'This Be Yours?” “Are You a Lit
terbug?” and “Do You Recognize
This?”, displayed on the trucks.
First prize in the junior division
was awarded for this float.
A wWJsm May rolls around again
we can look to this fine example
of benefiting the community
through club work and club co
operation a spokesman of the
Golddusters Club said this week.

HUNTERS HAVING
BETTER LUCK
Alaskan hunters have been
faring much better this past
week, according to statistics be
ing kept at the Fish and Wild
life checking station on the Glenn
highway.
To date hunters have reported
kills of 338 caribou, 112 moose,
52 sheep, 2 goat, 8 bear, 6 grouse,
and 29 ptarmigan.
A good many of the moose re
ported have been taken in the
valley vicinity, with a few be
ing reported from the Willow
area. Caribou kills have been
rather scattered, according to
FWS personnel who are main
taining the check station.
NCE there was a giant who was four times as large as a normal
\J man. Yet he kept running around shouting about how big
the normal man was getting—how the normal man was bigger
than anything else around, including the giant.
That was rather foolish, wasn’t it? Yet that is just what a real
"giant,” the profit utilities, are doing.
Profit utilities serve almost 80 per cent (79-1%) of all the
consumers in the country. Rural Electrics serve just 7.7% and
public power sources serve 13.2%.
Remember this the next time you hear propaganda shouts about
how public power and Rural Electrics are getting to be "a
monopoly.”
