17 Gardens Grow
On Lazy Mountain
By Vosella Hughes
There are radishes, turnips,
cabbages and other vegetables
coming up this year on the side
of Lazy Mountain where, until
last year, there was nothing but
dense forest.
Seventeen boys and girls of the
Lazy Mountain Garden Club are
utilizing some of Max Sherrod’s
land for their 4-H project. Gar
dens are coming along nicely de
spite the dry weather. The rea
son? All 17 junior gardeners have
instituted their own method of
irrigation. They use a small hand
pump fire extinguisher to water
their garden plots.
Members of the club are:
Marie Bennett, Charles and
Mary DeWitt, Alice Hobson, Ken
ny and Vosella Hughes, Eliza
beth John, Marvin and Nicky
Nickoli, Nija Nicolai, Amy and
Margie Olin, Carol, Esther, Paul
and Walter Pederson and Wen
dell Wilson. Supervising the club
is Miss Gertrude Vandermeer.

DINKEL RANKS SWELL
TO CLUB PROPORTIONS
_ • ■ ■ - " ' - - " ■ ■
WASILLA — There’s a new
4-H Club in Wasilla. Its member
ship is exclusive, but its projects
are many and its problems are
less than most. For instance, club
members expect to have no diffi
culty in calling members together
for 4-H meetings.
The new club is Dinkel-led,
officered by Dinkels and lists
only Dinkels on its membership
roster. The five Dinkel children
have organized a club of their
own, with Mrs. Harold Dinkel,
1 their mother, as leader.
Ages in the club range from 12
to 17 inclusive, with only a 14
year-old missing from the group.
When the five finish their pro
jects of livestock raising, poultry,
baking, gardening and clothing,
they expect to be able to effici
ently fill the Dinkel larder and
clothe the Dinkel torsos.
The new club still has no name,
but there’s little doubt what’s
meant when reference is made to
the five Dinkels. Offices in the
club have been shared by the
brothers ‘and sisters. They divid
ed the chores up this way:
Donald is president, Laddie is
vice-president, Joyce takes care
of the secretarial work, Flo Alice
reports the news and Jean leads
the songs at club meetings.
Although this is the first year
the Dinkels have formed an ex
clusive 4-H Club, it is by no
means the first club work under
taken by most of them. Flo Alice
is beginning her ninth year,
Donald his seventh and Laddie
his sixth in 4-H Club work.
