In reading “The Alaska Consti
tution Reviewed by Panel” in
your paper on page 4 Mrs. Mick
illustrated how the different dis
tricts (Burroughs?) were clearly
outlined.
Did anyone per chance notice
that a large slice of Wasitla’s
voting district is given to An
chorage I understand that by the
signing of the Territorial Consti
tution the delegate's eyes were
moist. I bet cookies to doughnuts
that if Alaska were a state and
this burrough had to pay for the
snow removal ,not only the dele
gates but everyone in the Valley
would be cryiijg. My heart’s out.

bility,” at the center of Aurora

Notes
By Marylou Rideout
Ever wish for new furniture?
Sure you have, but wishing was
all you did since the budget
could not cover the expense of a
new piece. But miracles do some- j
times happen and without much i
money you can have an old piece i
of furniture remade as good as j
new by attending the Extension
Service Reupholstery Workshop j
^pril 9 - 20. You bring the batter- j
ed and worn piece and leave with j
a piece as good as new. Quite
miraculous.
There’s hope for any piece
with the help of Extension Spec
ialist, Mary Robinson. Many have
signed up, so if you plan to at
tend do so immediately. You
will need to send for necessary
materials, so be safe, not sorry
and order now. If you do not
know what your chair, or piece
will need, the Home Agent will
be glad to help you.
Upholstery coverings are ex
pensive so the Home Agent will
be glad to measure your piece
and help you estimate the amount
of covering material you will
need. The Extension Service has
fabric samples for upholstery.
Their sample will be sent back
this week so don’t delay.
