Essays Win Dollars
For Palmer Pupils
unese essays were aajuagea
best of 15 submitted in the Com
munity Chest essay contest which
ended last week. Both Helen
Mae Stenvall and Virginia Boul
ter were awarded $10 prizes,
contributed by Les Hay and the
Valley Frontiersman, for their
essays. Second prizes in each di
vision, given by the American
Legion, went to Roger Woods
and to Joe Lentz.)
By Helen Mae Stenvall
“The idea, as I understand it,
of a Palmer Community Fund
is to eliminate the paying of
money to the several different
organizations at so many differ
ent times, by putting it into one
general drive. This is a good
way of getting money for the
needy Palmer projects and is a
much better way of organization
for obtaining money. People will j
be more willing to give ten dol-1
lars or more at one time than
giving a dollar here, two dollars
there, at so many different times.
Also there are people who may
not be able to afford the sum
requested, but still are willing
to give what they can afford.
This is the spirit of giving that
this Community Fund will de
velop.
“Palmer will benefit immense
ly by a Community Fund. The
importance and value of it may
be realized through the differ
ent organizations it will serve:
As a means of welfare and happi
ness for a child through the Alas- j
ka Crippled Children’s Associa-1
tion; as the training and develop- ]
ing of youths morally and physi- j
cally through the Scouts; as a j
means of health and life through '
the Health Council; for the aid
and well-being of a suffering
family through the Disaster
Fund; and as a means of educa-!
ting and entertaining the minds
of the young and old citizens
through the Public Library.
“This will indeed help Palmer
by making it a better, safer,
healthier and happier community
in which to live.”
By Virginia Boulter
“The community Fund will
help Palmer in a lot of ways. I
think everybody should give
something to it. It might be the
means of helping your own fam
ily someday.
“The community Fund helps
build a better community by
supplying money to help the dif
ferent organizations which in
turn build better citizens and
work for the good of people. It
helps both the ones who receive
money from the fund and the
ones who give by teaching them
not to be selfish.
“Many of the organizations for
our own good will be able to do
more good because of the help
given them by the community
fund.
“The Library will get new
books for everyone to enjoy. The
Health Council will be able to
do more for the sick people. The
Boy Scouts can do more toward
training boys to be good citizens.
The Crippled Children will re
ceive help and then, too, some
day if your own home should
burn or an accident happen in
your family, the community fund
would come to your help. i
“By having a community fund !
the town will work better for
the good of everyone.”
