Still Other Events
Planned For Colony Day
(Continued from Page 1)
the station is planning to bring
radio equipment to Palmer on
Sunday in order to broadcast an
hour of the day's events. It was
decided to ask that the broad
cast be made between the hours
of 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., if at all
possible.
Valley residents helping to
plan details for the Colony Day
celebration will meet again next
Monday evening at 9 o'clock in
the Palmer Fountain. All who
are assisting in the day's events
are urged to be present, for this
is probably the last general meet
ing to be held before the two
day celebration gets under way.
WINS RADIO
Mrs. Ruth Hermon won the
alarm clock radio which was
given as door prize at last Sat
urday’s Moose dance held in the
Neal Wright hall.
Intermediate Scants
Change Meeting Day
Beginning at once, members of
t h e Intermediate Girl Scout
troop led by Miss Mietzi Bleck
will switch meeting dates from a
weekly session on Wednesday to
a meeting on alternate Tuesdays
of each month. The Scouts’ next
meeting will be on Tuesday, June
1.
During the summer months,
Intermediate Scouts will meet in
the basement of St. John’s Luth
eran Church, rather than in the
school, as at present.
At the June first meeting,
Scouts are asked to come pre
pared for outdoor work. They’ll
need, as the day’s working equip
ment, rakes, hoes, spades, ferti
lizer and topsoil. The Scouts will
spend the day, beginning at 10
o’clock that morning, at their
project of landscaping the school
grounds.

saving all through life.

Many Teachers Plan
Holiday At Home
(Continued from page 1)
Mrs. J. K. Dunlap and Mrs. Mar
garet Cope also are planning va

as secretary to the fair board.
Miss Mietzi Bleck hopes to
combine gardening and art this
summer. She is planning to in
struct in some outdoor art
classes, of which she will have
more to say within the next few
days.
J. L. Dickson has no definite
plans that will take him away
from Palmer this summer. James
Gray, Jr., also plans to spend
most of the summer in or near
Palmer. However he has some
tentative travel plans for a trip
to Nome, Pt. Barrow and along
the Chain, which he hopes will
materialize. He also expects to
do further research in prepara
tion for writing his master’s
thesis.
Mrs. Virginia Pine plans to
spend the summer at the fishing
camp of the Herbert Caulkins

Miss Mary Marsh is sailing on
the next Aleutian. She plans a

is looking forward to a boat
trip to Seattle and then a long,
idle summer at her home in
Minnesota.
