Sportsmen Wrapped Up
In Game Dinner Plans
Final plans or the Oct. 8th
dinner were settled at the last
meeting of the board of directors
of the Matanuska Valley Sports
men. It was decided to set up
dining tables in the gymnasium
in order to accommodate an ex
pected attendance of 250 mem
bers and guests.
Last-minute assignments were
made for several new members.
E. V. Kirsch, Mr. and Mrs. Burk
holder and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Kyger were given chores as as
sistants in serving the dinner.
Mrs. Rip Harris is to supply
blueberries.
Letters reminding each mem
ber of his particular assignment
for the 119-dish meal are to go
into the mail this week. How
ever president Clare Stock urged
that no member stay home sim
ply because he is unable to ful
fill his game assignment. “Go
out and get something and bring
it, even if you can’t find what
you're supposed to get,” he said.
Board members also decided
to schedule the opening of the
indoor range on Wednesday eve
nings. All club members, includ
ing ladies and juniors, are invit
ed to shoot on that evening. The
first indoor shooting of the fall
season was held last week.

Christmas Is Coming,
Miss Lashbrook Prods
Wednesday is still craft day,
all day long, at the Extension
Office—and Christmas is getting
nearer. That’s the message Miss
Mary Lou Lashbrook has or the
women of the Valley this week.
Metal trays have been ordered
for hammered work, and should
be here soon. In the meantime,
Miss Lashbrook invites all wom
en to pick up their knitting and
drop in for the day. If knitting
is still a mystery to any Valley
women. Miss Lashbrook will be
glad to initiate them.
And how did Christmas get in
this? Why because all those ob
jects to be turned out on craft
day will be delightful gift-ables
come next Dec. 25.
