Hospital Nursery
Makes New Record
With 8 Lodgers
Babies Collier, Pruitt and
Granger moved over in the nur
sery at the Valley hospital late
last week and early this, to make
room for four new arrivals. The
nursery population of eight is a
peak record for the hospital, ac
cording to the memory of its
present staff.
One young lady who’s going to
miss out on her share of birth
day cakes in the years ahead, is
the baby daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Harris of Wasilla.
The little girl was the only Leap
Year baby for the Valley. She
checked in with a birth weight
of seven pounds, four ounces.
The three youngest Valley-ites
all arrived within one 24-hour
stretch, beginning in the early
morning hours of March 2. First
was the baby son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sigurd Kuoppala of Eska.
He was born at 1:25 on the morn
ing of the second.
The at 11:20 a.m., Mrs. Jennie
Nicolai of Chistochina became
the mother of an eight pound,
four ounce baby boy.
The final arrival of the day
on March 2 checked in at 4:45
that afternoon. He was the eight
pound, 12 ounce son of Mr. and
Mrs. Claremont Oborn of Copper
Center.

A Correction
A1 Hagen, chairman of the
board of directors of the Valley
Volunteer Fireman’s Association,
reported this week that two
slight errors were made in the
compiling of the recent Bingo
game financial report.
Advertising for the Valley Set
tler, charged at $12 in the report,
actually cost the Association
only $5. A meal charge of $2.25
for Oscar Kindgren should have
read Oscar Kindgren and A1

A Few Words
To The Wise . . .
(Sponsored by the Valley Minis
terial Association)
A terrific explosion took place
in a Welsh mine. Many miners
escaped, but some were killed.
A rescue party heard a man’s
voice. He was buried under a
mass of debris, but being tightly j
wedged in by mine props and
comparatively uninjured, he
seemed perfectly happy.
A long pipe was pushed
through to him, down which
milk was occasionally poured.
He sang and whistled to pass
away the time. “There is no need
to hurry,” he said. “It’s true I
am in pitch darkness and pinned
in on every side. But I’m all
right—save those first who are
in a worse plight. Don’t trouble
about me.”
With the greatest difficulty, \
however, he managed to get a :
box of matches out of his pocket, j
He lighted a match. Then im
mediately he cried out in agon
izing tones: “Mates, for goodness
sake, hurry up and rescue me.
I’m in an awful position. Rocks
and timbers are hanging over
my head ready to fall on me!”
It is not likely that men will
seek a Saviour unless they feel
the NEED of one. Only the con
viction of sin and the fear of
judgment can make them realize
their danger.
Only the light of God’s Word
illuminated by the Holy Spirit,
will bring men to realize the
guilt and PERIL of sin.
KENNETH R. HUGHES
School Trustee
Is Re-Elected
Glen Woods, retiring member
of the Palmer board of educa
tion, was unanimously returned
to his seat on the board at last
Monday’s school election. Mr.

Valley residents visited the polls
in the gymnasium lobby to cast
their votes for Mr. Woods.

Membership Driv^,
Names Leaders
Valley 4-H Club leaders began
National 4-H Week, which ex
tends from March 1 through
March 7, with a 4-H Council
meeting last Monday evening.
Plans were formulated at that
meeting for the extension of 4-H
work in the Valley, and for an
all-out drive for increased club
memberships.
Organization of several new
clubs is being considered for the
Valley and for the Anchorage
area. One new club leader, Mrs.
Zinn of the Richards children’s
home, volunteered to lead a cluix
Former leaders who named
the projects they planned for
this year’s work included:
Gloria Smith, sewing I and
II; Flo Alice Dinkel, sewing I;
Mrs. Agnes Sandvik, sewing
and room improvement; Mrs.
Zinn, gardening; Mrs. Lou
Sandvik, baking II; Mrs. Mat*
garel Miller, sewing I and II.
Mrs. Harold Dinkel and Lynn
Sandvik also will lead 4-H clubs

Extension office personnel are
anxious to organize a poultry
project, but to date have ob
tained no leader for it. Any Val
ley resident interested in head*
ing a 4-H project, or any family
which has children interested in
becoming 4-H club members, are
asked to stop at the Extension
office for detailed information.
