Kiwanis International
Activity Record Shows
Varied Participation
The Kiwanis Club of Palmer
was one of 4200 Kiwanis clubs
throughout the United States and
Canada which, during 1955, turn
ed in their greatest record of
community service. This state
ment was made by James Wilson,
president of the local club in an
nouncing release of final 1955
activity figures from the general
office of Kiwanis International in
Chicago.
George Crowther, past presi
dent of the local Kiwanis club,
will attend the Kiwanis Inter
national Convention to be held
in, San Francisco June 17-21 as
^representative of the Palmer
club.
Last year, Kiwanians who
channel the greater part of their
energy into eight community
service fields, participated in act
ivities ranging from the purchase
of an artificial eye for an under
privileged child to attracting a
new industry to a hard-up com
munity. The eight fields are: Ag
riculture and conservation: pub
lic and business affairs, support
of churches in their spiritual
aims; boys and girls work: Key
Clubs; Circle K Clubs; under
privileged child; and vocational
guidance.
Though fund raising is a mi
nor part of their operation, they
collected $5,844,371.81 in 1956,
which contributed to youth ser
vices of various kinds. They
raised $4,296,300.60 for hospitals
and hospital facilities; they con
itrifeuted $1,508,121.20 to neady
churches; and they distributed
$243,046,97 to deserving students
fchrough scholarship loans.

Garden Club Plants
Hospital Flower Beds
Again this year members of
the Palmer Garden Club have
Oaken on the project of planting
the flower beds at the Valley

orites as snap dragons, mari

os well as pansy plants. Mrs.
Mike Ulrich, while convalescing

MIGRATING GEESE
MARKED WITH DYE
When Sara Miller, 11 of Teller,
Alaska, claimed she saw a pink
goose last week her father, Al
bert Miller, relayed the informa
tion to the Cooperative Wildlife
Research Unit at the University
of Alaska.
Dr. John Buckley, head of the
unit, didn’t greet the report with
skepticism. He was glad to hear j
it. He said that U. S. Fish and j
Wildlife Service personnel co-1
operated with the California de- j
partment of fish and game to j
provide a means of tracing geese j
on their northward migration to
breeding grounds. They dyed
Lesser snow geese pink, later mi
grating snow geese green, and
Ross’ geese yellow.
Miss Miller’s pink goose was
the second one reported in the
territory. Dr. Buckley said that
he would like to hear about
others.
Area Getting Good }
Baseball Diamend
A good-sized ball park is be
ing created in that area across
from the old hospital, and from
the Central school playground.
The park is the result of a group
of young people in Palmer who
were seeking an area where a
ball diamond could be built.
Through the cooperation of the
School District and the City of
Palmer, the ground is being j
readied.
The youths donated time and
labor in building a backstop to
specifications. The City donated
grader and dozer work and the
school district gave the ground
and will spend about $200 for
carry-all work to complete the
ground work. The area is now
level and free of weeds and
brush and will be open to the
public for use, at no charge.
The skating rink area is still
there and this fall boards will be
returned and banked for easy
flooding.
