HOMEMAKERS
HISTORIES
The Goldusters Club was or
ganized in the spring of ’52. At
that time there were approxi
mately 10 members.
To most of the members,
homemaking was a fairly new
experience. With the help of the
homemakers program and the aid
of the home demonstration agent,
much has been gained from at
tending the meetings.
Our club project for the year
is making various articles with
felt materials. We find it most
interesting as there are so many
things that can be done with
felt. Nothing is wasted, as the
smallest scraps can be put into
use. These articles will be dis
played and sold at the Fair.
The club holds a special craft
meeting the fourth Thursday of
every month. Work is now be
ing done in copper.
The club now consists of 20
members. We feel that our club
is of a real importance to us.
NURSES HOLD TEA FOR
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Nine high school girls, mem
bers of the senior and junior
classes, were guests at a tea
sponsored by the Matanuska Val
ley Nurses’ Association last Sat
urday afternoon at the Health

high school girls interested in
nursing and medical technology.
Mrs. Dexter Dacon poured.
Four nurses spoke to the group

cluding Miss Ina Tompkins, Miss
Jeanne Shaver, Mrs. Dorohty

ton. Mrs. Helen Maze accom
panied the guests on a tour of
the new hospital.
All Valley nurses were also
invited to attend the tea.
Miss Patricia Cromett, em
ploye of Koslosky’s Department
Store, left for Minnesota this
week Monday. She plans to re
turn with her parents who are

aska highway.
OFFICIAL TO STUDY
CIVIL SERVICE
POSSIBILITY IN ALASKA
A representative of the 11th
Regional Office of the Civil Ser
vice Commission will visit com
munities in Alaska sometime
during the period from May 24
through June 11 to study the
possibility of extending the com
petitive system to Alaska, accord
ing to information made avail
able to Delegate E. L. Bartlett
this week by Director C. D. Her
tzog of the Bureau of Field Op
erations.
Dale Bartlett for a long time
has urged that federal employees
in Alaska be brought into the
competitive Civil Service system.
At the present time the vast maj
ority of such personnel in Alaska
is employed under the so-called
Schedule A or excepted positions
which do not afford certain job
protection and other rights grant
ed to personnel in the States
who come into government ser
vice through the competitive sys
tem.
The representative who will
make the study is expected to
meet with officials in Washing
ton prior to his leaving for Alas
ka, and Del. Bartlett hopes to
meet with him before he goes
to the Territory.

Important Notice
OF CHANGE IN METER READING AND PAYMENT DATES
Date for reading your Electric Meter will now be the LAST
DAY OF THE MONTH rather than the 20th. PAYMENT MUST
BE MADE BY 10TH OF MONTH FOLLOWING. You will skip May
20th for reading your meter, and READ IT ON MAY 31 ST.
BILL MUST BE PAID BY the 10th of JUNE or you must pay
the $1.50 penalty.
This change was made by vote of the members at the annual
meeting held April 3rd, because many of our members find
it inconvenient to pay the bill by the end of the month, in
as much as most salary checks are issued the 1st. Therefore,
we trust this change will make it more convenient for pay
ment without paying the penalty.
IN THE FUTURE NO FURTHER NOTICE WILL BE SENT YOU FOR
DISCONNECT OF METER OR NON-PAYMENT OF BILL.
OUR DISCONNECT DATE IS THE 15TH. IF BILL IS NOT PAID
BY THE 15th, your service will be discontinued without
further notice.
Regardless of money if you cannot pay the bill, send us your
meter reading so that we do not have to make estimated bills,
they are very unsatisfactoy both for you and office records.
Those accounts who receive meter reading cards will have
them by the last day of the month. Please send or bring them
to the office as soon as possible thereafter.
