Herman Turners Given
Farewell Gift from
Church Sunday School

lowing the work party on the
United Protestant Church lawn,
members of the church Sunday
School staff presented Mr. and
Mrs. Herman Turner with a
handsome Universal coffee mak
er as a farewell gift.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner, manager
of Spring Dairy Farm will leave
the Valley about September 20.
They will go to Cordova, where
Mr. Turner has been assigned for
mission work. He will have

is expected that an expansion of
mission activities will follow the
leasing of several buildings from
the Alaska Native Service.

mission work on remote islands
of the Territory before coming
to Palmer.
