Dear Editor:
I like you and the paper a lot,
but a funny slighted hurt comes
inside me when I read “Many
Go To Town.’’
Why do people say they go to
town when they go to Anchor
age? I live out of Palmer, and
when I go to town I go to Palmer
'cuz Palmer is my town. Perhaps
there are things about Palmer
that could be better, but with all
her faults I love her still.
I think the “going to town”
idea was born during early col
........ ~
onization days. I’d hear Anchor
age employes, for instance, say,
‘ Are you going to town this
weekend?” That may have been
reasonable then, as we really had
no town in those days, but we
certainly have now.
I’m not being disrespectful to
Anchorage. T;his may make a lot
of folks laugh because I’m so
fussy, but, then, laughing is good
for people.
Shall we still say we’re going
to town, referring to Anchorage,
when Palmer becomes the capital
of Alaska?
Yours truly,
Mrs. I. M. Sandvik

Overflow Crowd
At 4-H Roundup *
A capacity crowd perched on
boxes and doubled up on chairs
at last Wednesday’s Spring
Round-Up for 4-H club members
at the Extension office. A total
of 58 prospective club members
and leaders was present at the
meeting, which was conducted
by Miss Marilyn Johnson, home •
demonstration agent.
Miss Johnson told the group
that thus far only one new 4-H
club has been organized in the
Valley this year. That club is at
Richards Children’s home on the
Wasilla highway.
She outlined for the children
some of the goals of 4-H work,
stressing the fact that its primary
purpose is training for living.
Present projects planned for
Valley 4-H club members this
year are a garden project, open
to boys and girls alike, and sew
ing and baking projects, in both
beginning and advanced classes,
for girls. Parker Lester, district
Extension agent, told the boys
it might be possible to have a
pig club this year, but a calf
club will have to be postponed,
because good calves are not
available.
Leaders who have already vol
unteered to help with the 4-H
work include:
Max Sherrod and Mrs. Neil
Miller, garden club; Mrs. I. IVT.
Sandvik, advanced baking; Mrs.
Archie Moffitt, Mrs. Guy War
nica and Gloria Smith, sewing.
Another leader is needed to in
struct in elementary oaKing.
Children interested in the clubs
signed registration cards at the
Wednesday meeting. These cards
must be signed by parents, and
then may be returned to Mrs.
Hernice Johnson at the Extension
office. 4-H club members who
were not present at the Round
Up may come to the Extension
oiffice and get a registration
blank from Mrs. Johnson. No
clubs are yet closed to additional
members.
