It isn't too early to plan your
garden or how to renovate your
lawn. If you are a newcomer to
Palmer—or even a Sourdough,
perhaps you are not sure of the
variety of a certain vegetable to
plant, or just the kind and
amount of fertilizer to use. Most
home owners take pride in a nice
lawn; but how to acquire such?
The Extension Service has useful
information if you will just ack
us.
The Extension Service person
nel did enjoy their stay in Palmer
last week while attending the an
nual conference. In addition to
the valuable talks and discus
sions. the social contacts were
appreciated. Compliments are due
the Homemaker’s Clubs for the
fine pot-luck luncheon on Mon
day; and the Cheechako Club for
the buffet supper served the
women conference members.
On Wednesday night following
a dinner at the United Protestant
Church: the conference members
saw the play "Scattered Showers”
which was given by Mrs. Raipn
Moore, Mrs. John DeVries and
Mrs. Joe Gallant. Mrs. Tom Dav
is the director and Mrs. Charles
Schaefer discussion leader. Fortu
nately. the players plan to have a
repeat performance at the next
P-TA meeting. These days its
quite rare to sc-e a good play, and
so well given.
