Notebook I
Word received from the Neil
Millers this week indicates they
plan to attend summer school in
Pocatello at the Idaho State Col
lege. Former residents of the Val
ley, the Millers are now living in
Arbon, Idaho. Their son Tim has
just completed his year’s training
for ACS and has been assigned
Anchorage for a two-year per
manent station.
Seven valley homemakers re
cently held a cleaning-bee and
spruced up the Extension Service
loom, silverware and dishes all
of which were in a rather sad
state following the fire a few
months ago. Those who offered
their time and work were Vera
Rorrison, Amy Irvin, Bernice
Linn, Dorothy Moore, Mary
Lundberg, Helen Brundage and
Pearl Trowbridge.
Members of the Valley Hos
pital Auxiliary met this week
and assisted in paper work at the
hospital.
William Sweetman, dairy hus

to determine whether or not in
creased milk sales at less profit
per unit may develop in a larger
consumer demand to contribute
to the stability of Alaska’s dairy
industry; third, a substantial in
crease in milk sales in Palmer
and Seward schools may improve
the possibility of Alaska’s being
included in the Special School
Milk Program along with the 48
states.
The Special School Milk Pro
gram is perhaps the most popular
farm program ever developed. It
pays to the state school lunch
program three to four cants for
each serving of milk to school
children below college level. Ex
tending this program to Alaska
could make $75,000 to $150,000
available annually for school
children to encourage increased
milk consumption. It would make
an additional $5,000 to $10,000
available for milk in a school sys
tem the size of Palmer’s.
It was pointed out that the milk
that will be made available to the
Palmer school students must be
consumed on the school premises.
