Sale of Potted Plants and Flowers
To Replace Annual Grange Flower Show
Sunday, August 10 has been set
as the date for the annual bazaar
and tea by the Northland Pioneer
Grange home economics depart
ment. The flower show, which is
usually the feature of this annual
event, will not be held this year
because of the late season. In
stead, potted plants and flowers
will be offered for sale.
The bazaar and tea will be held
in the Grange Hall. Tea will be
served from one o’clock in the
afternoon until the crowds thin
out some time in the evening.
In charge of the sale of potted
plants and cut flowers are Mrs.
Clyde King, Sr., Mrs. Ralph Ware,
Mrs. M. D. Snodgrass, Mrs. Harry
Duff, Mrs. L. P. Rorrison, and Mrs.
George Small. Proceeds from the
sale of these items and the needle
work articles offered in the baz
aar will go toward the Grange
building fund. Any small potted
plants or cut flowers will be wel
comed by the committee. It is
hoped that a variety of fine of
ferings will be available for dis
criminating shoppers.
On the bazaar committee are
Mrs. Bob Buzbv, Mrs. A1 Kirsch,
Mrs. Eugene Kirsch, Mrs. Lila
Newville, and Mrs. Ralph Good
rich.
Mrs. Leonard Kyger. Mrs. C. E.
McKenzie, Mrs. Tom Lepak, Mrs.
Russell Dow, and Ruby Holstein
will be in charge of the tea.
Concentrating on the over-all
arrangements is Mrs. William
SERVICE BUILDING
PROPOSED FOR CITY
The possibility of the start of
a city service building for Pal
mer was brought out during a
discussion of the need for such a
buildin0 at a special Council
meeting held last week.
Following the recommendation
of Charles Wilson of the planning
board, it was thought the most
economical location would be on
the lot on Wasilla Road donated
to the former Valley Fire Asso
ciation by the ARRC and later
deeded to the city. Water and
sewer lines are available there.
The proposed 24 ft. x 40 ft.
structure would be of a perman
ent type basement, with concrete
top, in anticipation of additional
building in time to come. Temp
orary roofing was discarded be
cause of condensation and insula
tion troubles.
The basement would house the
city jail, telephone center, storage
space for city equipment, a fur
nace room and space for council
meetings.
Rough estimates offered by
Councilmen Sandvik and Sevems
indicated such a building would
run pretty close to $15,000 but as
Sevems pointed out, at that
price, it would be a cost job.

rtosKins, wno is cnairman ot tne
Grange home economics depart
ment this year. Mrs. Hoskins voir
ed the regents of all the wom_n
of the Grange that the regular
flower show will not be held.
Many of the flowers in the Valley
that are usually at their prime
early in August are a week or two'
late this year she said. Delaying
the annual event would interfere
with the flower show held dur
ing the Fair, which will be held
this year on August 29, 30, 31, and
September 1.

A week ago Tuesday, the
Bureau Beavers had a swimming
party and hot dog roast at Falk’s
Lake. We swam first, then had
hot dogs, cake, and punch for
our lunch. Everyone came home
with a little sunburn.
Our regular meeting was held
at the home of Judy and Bradley
Inman. There, Judy and Brad
gave a demonstration on making
butter cake. We discussed plans
for our booth at the fair, and the
meeting was then adjourned.
