What Extension Means to Me
By Wasilla Homemakers
To me, Extension Service
means that one day each month
the women of our community
meet together in their homes get
ting new ideas for better home
making with expert guidance
from the Home Demonstration
Agent. The friendly exchange of
recipes, local happenings, and the
newest arrivals, make this meet
ing one of the highlights of a
homemakers social life.
Extension Service means that
my husband is informed on bet
ter farming methods, soil conser
vation practices, and generally
keeping up to date in all farm
ing developments. Again with
expert guidance from the Agri
cultural Agent.
To me, Extension Service
means that our boys and girls
will be guided to a more health
ful and useful life through their
4-H activities, thus helping to
build better homes, more stable
communities, and a better Na
tion.
Sutionette Club
We wish to express our appre
ciation for the work and cooper
ation of the Extension Service in
this community. For 25 years the
Horpe Demonstration clubs have,
been active in Alaska, helping
homemakers make better homes.
As one homemaker put it, “The
home is the foundation of a na
tion and when that home is man
aged by a well-informed home
maker who cooks well-balanced
meals, clothes her family with
well-fitted garments, and fur
nishes her home with care and
good taste, we have a strong
foundation. If within this home
the rights of each are respected
and we teach and live the love
of home, country, fellowman and
God, we have the homemakers
ultimate goal. A nation with
these homes will be prosperous,
respected by other nations, and
a blessing to the world”.

SCOUTS AND LEADER
PRAISED FOR
FIGHTING FIRE
Explorer Scouts of Troop <19,
Wasilla, were complimented this
week by members of the Bureau
of Land Management for their
role in volunteering assistance to
control a forest and brush fire
which occurred in the Wasilla
area on May 11.
The letter, written by Roger
R. Robison, regional forester, was
directed to Clarke Lethin, Scout
executive and commented in
part on:
“The excellent assistance and
cooperation given by Ray Berg
man and Explorer Scouts of
Troop 719, Wasilla, in taking the
initial and continued action on
the forest and brush fire at Cot
tonwood Creek on May 11.
“Had not this quick action
been taken by the Scouts on their
own initiative, the fire might
well have reached the buildings
in Wasilla.
“Such action is commendable
to the public interests and I as
sure you is sincerely appreciat
ed by the fire personnel of the
Bureau of Land Management. ”
