4-H Club Council
Talks Of Camp ♦
Long-range planning for a 4-H
club camp at King’s Lake some
time next July occupied most of
the meeting time of the 4-H Cli^
Council last week. Only tentative
plans were advanced at the meet
ing, awaiting a later survey of
facilities available at the camp.
Parker Lestsr told the Council
of plans for this year’s Valley
fair and asked that a 4-H Council
committee be appointed to help
with the revision of the premium
list. Mrs. I. M. Sandvik, Lynn
Sandvik, Mrs. Neil Miller and
Mrs. Chek Sandvik were named
to help bring the list up to date.^
Lutheran Church Given
Public Address System
Members of the Ladies' Aid
of St. John's Lutheran church
this week purchased still another
gift for the church. The Aid pre
sented the church with a two
speaker public address system,
which will be installed in the
auditorium.
Pastor W. L. Zt ile said it was
his plan to have one speaker in
stalled in the church proper and
the second in the church belfry.
Through this second speaker, it
is planned to present a short pro
gram of chimes and organ music
each Sunday morning. Musical*
interludes will be played just
preceding and following the
morning services at St. John’s.
Candidate For House Seat
Weekends In Valley
D. T. McMahon, former Valley
resident who is now a Demo
cratic candidate for election to
the territorial house of repre
sentatives, spent several days in
the Valley over the past week
end.
While here, he discussed with
Valley folks the “Write Your
Congressman" campaign he has
instigated to improve Alaska’s
highway system. Mr. McMahon
urges that Alaskans do every
thing possible, by means of let
ters addressed to members
Congress, to push for Congres
sional approval of the bill which
recently appropriated $11,000,
000 for completion of the Sew
ard-Anchorage highway.
The prospective legislator be
lieves that a modern highway
network is necessary to prepare
the territory for statehood.
