Mixing Bowl Club
By Jean Onkka
The Mixing Bowl 4-H Club met
July 6. The main issue of busi
ness was our bake sale. It was
held at the Rec Hall on July 20.
The money from the bake sale
will be used to purchase 4-H T
shirts and flag, and also for the
fair booth.
We had an illustrated talk on
machine stitching by Leona Luc
as. LeeAnn Hoffman also gave
an illustrated talk. Hers was on
making a hot pad. Kit Johnson
gave a demonstration on nut
bread, and we all enjoyed the
nutbread for our lunch. Indoor
games were played, since it was
raining.
The next regular meeting of
the club will be held on July 27,
at two p.m., at Mrs. Henning
Blunck’s home. All books should
be up to date at that time.
The program for the next meet
ing is to be as follows:
Demonstration on gingerbread
by Judy Hurley and LeeAnn
Hoffman.
Demonstration on muffins by
Jean Onkka and Waldine Lun
berg.
The sewing girls are to exhibif
the work they have done this far.
Wonder if They Spread
Crushed Rock First?
Nome’s city streets were dust
proofed for the summer last week.
The city council borrowed a dis
tributor from the CAA there, and
smeared 25 barrels of oil over
Nome’s main thoroughfares in the
campaign against dust.
The council discussed the grow
ing overcrowdedness in the Nome
school and agreed to talk of the
matter with the school board in
a special session. It is possible it
will be necessary to purchase tem
porary huts and mount them on
foundations adjacent to the pres
ent school plant, to take care of
the growing school population.

WASILLA — Mrs. Bud Brown

HERBERT G. BRYAN
WRITES OF ALASKA
WITH MIXED FEELING
“Land of Promise and Prob
lems” is the way Herbert G. Bry
an, former Rural Electrification
Administration representative for
Alaska, headlines a story about
the territory in the July issue of
the Rural Electrification maga
zine.
Mr. Bryan’s story deals with
the need for power here, the dif
ficulty of construction of power
installations, and the cost of such
construction. He dwells at length
on the high cost of power to the
consumer in Alaska.
He sees low cost electricity as
the key to Alaska’s rapid develop
ment. “It will mean the differ
ence,” he states, “between slow
growth over a century and rapid
development in a few decades.”
