Credit Union
Officials Meet
William C. Goble, examiner for
the Bureau of Federal Credit Un
ions, met with officers and com
mittee members of the Matanuska
Valley Federal Credit Union the
evening of July 28 at Marada
Cafe. H. P. Gazaway, president of
the local credit union, presided at
the meeting and shortly after
dinner he turned the meeting over
to the visitor who briefly out
lined the findings of his exam
ination of the local credit union |
records.
Goble stressed the importance
of the credit union as a service
enterprise in the community and
made several recommendations
to those present for strengthen
ing the operation of the credit
union. He commended the trea-*
surer, Dexter Bacon, on the ex
cellent manner in which the rec
ords are being maintained.
In addition he encouraged oth
ers attending the meeting in their
credit union responsibilities and
gave suggestions for improve
ment.
Each year local credit unions
are examined by an examiner
from the Bureau who makes a
full written report at the comple
tion of his examination. Their
criticisms and suggestions help
each local credit union render
greater and more satisfactory
service in the community.

Lazy ML 4-H Club
Report for month of June:
The Lazy Mountain 4-H Club
has 15 members and five leaders.
We have had three meetings in
June well attended. After the
business meetings we had re
freshments, recreation and sing
ing.
Because the clubs would have
been so small had we had indi
vidual ones, we have kept it as
one club with divisions in cook
ing, sewing, gardening, and yard
improvement.
The cooking members have
been busy cooking many dishes
for our dinners, preparing re
freshments for our meetings and
baking for birthdays. At our first
meeting Miss Patricia Hockley
gave a demonstration called
“Let’s Set the Table.”
the sewing club started out
with two members, but grew to
six. The younger ones have beern
working on pajamas and aprons,
while the older ones have been
making dresses. They hope to be
finished by August and have a
fashion show later. At our third
meeting Grace Hurt demonstrat
ed “Sewing on a Button.”
Our gardeners have planted
many kinds of vegetables. Their
i gardens are all together and look
very nice. At a special yard im
provement meeting Bob Olsen
demonstrated “How to Trans
plant,” and at another special
meeting Dr. Winston Laughlin of
the Experiment Farm gave us a
I talk on gardening in Alaska. He
showed us four lettuce plants, all
planted the same day, but all
different because of different fer
tilizers used in the soil. Yard
improvement members have been
working on several projects from
making rock walls to planting
hedges. They have been to see
what other clubs are doing, and
other clubs have been to see
what we are doing to improve
our yard.
We went to the 4-H picnic in
June and enjoyed it. We have en
joyed our 4-H work very much
during this month.

In Annual
Cub Scout Camp-Out
The fourth annual Cub Scout
father-son camp out, held at
Duffs last Friday night, was
termed a big success, with a very
large turn-out.
A total of 27 fathers and 35
Cubs made camp Friday evening
and under the leadership of Jim
j Wilson of Palmer and Arthur
Roy of Ladd AFB, enjoyed base
ball and other organized games
before bedding down for the
night.
Early morning found fathers,
Stan Lowe, Ed Smith, and Prent
Gazaway busy as head chefs pre
paring hot cakes, bacon and eggs
for the entire group. The young
sters and their dads were back
in town by 8:30 a.m., a bit weary,
but most satisfied with the popu
| lar event that was even timed
right in regard to sunny weath
er.
The term, “litterbug”, for peo
ple who scatter debris on roads
and other outdoor areas caught
on rather quickly a few years
ago. Now, a synonym, “strew
ball’\ is coming into favor. Both
words are descriptive of trash
strewers who spoil outdoor areas
with their lack of consideration
for others.
