Agent Finds Need
For More 4-H Work
Christmas Meeting
Set for Tuesday
There will be a meeting of
representatives from all local
businesses, fraternal, civic and
church organizations on Tues
day, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. The meet
ing, to be held in the Extension
office, has been called by W. C.
Mau for decision on community
Christmas plans this year.
Last year’s committee had set
Nov. 17 as date for this meeting,
but it was felt the community
has lost interest in this Christmas
project, Mr. Mau explained.
Tuesday’s meeting is called so
that all organizations may ex
press an opinion on the matter.
SATURDAY DANCE
There will be another dance in
the gymnasium following Satur
day’s basketball game, it was an
nounced today by James Gray,
Jr., high school principal. Valley
residents are invited to join with
Palmer students for an evening’s
dancing to recorded music.

• The Extension Service plans
an all-out effort toward building
up 4-H work in the territory,
Miss Marilyn Johnson, district
worker, announced this week.
Miss Johnson was in Palmer
Monday to attend the meeting of
the Homemaker’s Council.
"We need a higher enroll
ment in 4-H work here, and we
need members who will slay in
the work for a longer period
of time," she stated. "We are
handicapped by limited per
sonnel, but we plan to enlist
the aid of Homemakers clubs
this year to boost 4-H club
work."
Miss Johnson said there was
no immediate prospect of more
Extension workers being as
signed this area. She plans to
work out a program for the year
in which Homemakers clubs can
co-operate for the creation of
greater interest in 4-H work.
The new district worker ex
pects to be in the Valley for an
indefinite period on the second
and fourth weeks of each month.
She cannot devote more of her
time here, for her work covers
i the entire Kenai peninsula and
Valley areas.
Miss Johnson comes to Alaska
from Valley City, N. Dak., where
she was extension agent. She has
been with the Extension Service
for the past three years. She is a
graduate of the State Agricul
tural College at Fargo, S. Dak.
