Anyone knows that a four-leaf
clover brings Good Luck. And so
it is with 4-H; from time to time
good things come to Palmer
which is “luck” to leader and
members. A week ago, Mrs. Don
oveil, Seattle, spent two days in
Palmer, training 4-H clothing
leaders. And what a course sihe
offered. The theme was “Getting
the Most Out of Your Sewing
Machine”. Step-by-step Mrs. Don
oveil gave the various clothing
construction processes; so that
leaders have a better back
ground, and can better teach
sewing to 4-H members.
Twelve 4-H leaders and assist
ants attended the classes, Ruth
Rupp, Margaret Lindeke, Melba
Copas, Agnes Sandvik, Laura
Berry, Sarah Brewster, Marie
James, Midge Yerbich, Frances
Dinkel, Cloycine Driggars, Mar
jorie Hoskins, Laura Mommsen,
and two prospective leaders Tiel
ke Mielke, and Oreen Zanona.
Others attending were Aileen
Uzelac, Mary Lundberg, Evelyn
Mielke, Priscilla Bacon, Betty
Crowthers and Agnes Zaborac.
Without doubt there will be bet
ter 4-H seamstress and 4-H’ers
who understand their sewing ma
chine better and how to care for
their machines. In this modem
day, it is known that young peo
ple can learn to sew with a ma
chine more easily and quickly
than with a needle. Remember
your first day at a sewing ma
chine? Did you feel defeated be
fore you began? Many did, but j
not this generation, if they learn
‘the 4-H way. For those who did
not have the opportunity to at
tend the course; it will be repeat
ed by the Home agent before
clothing projects begin.
