Big Game Dinner
Clair Stock, chairman of this
year's tame dinner, reported that J
assignments will be in the mail
soon so that .members can ind(-1
cate their choices. This year it is
expected that many new type*
of game and fish will be added
to the usual menu. Attempts are
being made to procure unusual
delicacies like antelope and octo
pus from other sportsmen's
groupi. The committee hopes to
get the biggest King salmon j
caught in Southeastern Alaskai
this year—one at least 85 pounds
in weight—for the centerpiece :n
this vear's buffet.
FWS Fish Restoration
Me] Munson and Roger Ellen,
representing the Fish and Wild
life Service, spoke at the last
meeting of the Matanuska Valley
Sportsmen club on the restocking
program planned by the service.
Depleted streams and lakes as
well as barren lakes will be stud
ied for restoration that will im
prove sports fishing in Alaska. A
recent fund of S75.000 was set a
side for this work, with $3,.000
planned for this year’s work in
Fairbanks, S. E. Alaska and tht
Anchorage aea.
Another phase of the program
will be an attempt to build roads
to lakes now inaccessible. The
FWS men pointed out that some
of these waters offer good fish
ing now: others will be stocked.
By this, a larger fishing area is
hoped to be established.
Much of this year’s work will
be preliminary research to deter
mine relationship of fish to speci
fic locales, condition of local fish
and their habitants. The local
sportsmen have been asked to co
operate in this respect.
A creel census is desired, the
men added, with information on
depleted and barren waters and j
the condition of fish caught in
this area.
The Fish and Wildlife will'
have two men working on this |

BY MARYLOU RIDEOUT
cetssrefiv slmllucmfwypvbgkqb
Wwk and many “nlw" things arr
happening Wo hopo you havo
soo tho fmo display in Kocloaky's
store window which v. as arrang
ed by Maine Hanks. June Mur
phv and Jane Weidman Mr. j
Weidman did the nice job of
printing the posters. The display
entitled. “Alaska's Homes are
Alaska's Future," depicts by the,
use of a large map. how wide I
spread active Homemakers' Clubs 1
are throughout the Territory. The
Homemakers' Creed, and the Na
tional Home Demonstration pos
ters are included in the display.
“Thanks" to these four for their
fine story told by this display.
Wc cannot deny “Alaska's Homes
Are Alaska’s Future."
What could be nicer during
this week than to have a new
Homemakers’ Club organize?
That is just what happened on
Tuesday' night at the home of
Gladys Jones. This "new" club j
with 10 charter members chose
to have night meetings, the first j
Wednesday of each month. The
regular club program was adopt
ed. The following are the officers:
Beatrice Huntley: vice-president.
Gladys Jones; secretary, Judy
Aarestad; treasurer. May Lou
Johns; and reporter, Le Ann
Dodds. Other members are Gwen
dolyn Lowe, Norma Benson, Pris
cilla Bacon, Helen Butcher, and
Claire Kopperud. The Extension

heartily "Welcome.” It was decid
ed to have the next meeting on
the third Tuesday. May 20. at 3
o’clock. Mrs. Claire Kopperud’s
home will be the meeting place.
4-H Boost
Just sort of miraculously the
excellent picture, "The Green
Promise." v.as shown on Tuesday |
to all school children. right in
the midst of taking 4 H Hub en
rollments There's no doubt that
I this wholesome story will start
more boy* and girls to think
about tho truo values of 4-11
work We hope the picture was
stimulating enough to cause more
to join 4-M clubs, but if a boy
or girl still just doesn t have' the
"pop" and enthusiasm it takes to
be a good 4-H'er. there's n i j
denying that after seeing "Tlv
i Green Promise” we know a bet
ter America is being built be
; cause of 4-H club work.
The Extension Service ,
| '‘Thanks’’ the P-TA for bringing .
this picture to Palmer.
