Cheecbako Homemakers’ club at
its March meeting held at the
home of Mrs. Lloyd Morley. Dur
ing the short business meeting
the club endorsed educational
legislation before the Territorial
Legislature; discussed briefly
ideas for the fair booth and made
contributions of clothing and
other articles to the Salvation
Army. After the close of the busi
ness meeting the members sewed
on and finished six pairs of sur
gical leggings which they con
tributed along with T-binders to
the hospital. It was a pleasure to
have Mrs. D. Johnsen as a guest.
The April meeting will be-held
at the home of Mrs. Jerry Pazer
uski.

Golddusier Club
'The Goldduster’s Homemakers'
club held their March meeting
at the home of Mrs. Marian Per
singer. The ever.iTTg was spent
in discussion of ways and means
to successfully build up our trea
sury in some original manner to
support the many programs we'd
like to. A well planned schedule
by the Extension Office is fol
lowed in our monthly meetings
but because the majority of the
taiembers have pre-school chil
dren we are unable to take ad
vantage of the work shops and
Crafts offered mostly during the
day.
It wras unanimously decided to
Jaold an extra craft meeting the
last Thursday of each month at
the home of Mrs. Faith Krause.
Mrs. Winnie Martin was our first
guest instructor on March 24 and
taught us the fundamentals of
braiding wove rugs. All of us
were inspired after seeing her
'beautifully designed rugs. Our
mext guest will be announced at
our regular meeting on April 13,
"to be held at Mrs. Betty Crow
thers’ home.
