4-H Club Council Plans
Achievement Day, to Be
Held In Early November
Plans for the coming Novem
ber Achievement Day occupied
the business hours of the 4-H
Club council last week. Because
<ihe fall calendar already is crowd
ed, a definite date had not been
fixed at press-time, but the event
is planned for early November.
The Achievement Day program
will be held in Palmer’s Gymna
sium. The planned program in
cludes an evening of stories and
demonstrations, a report from
each 4-H Club in the Valley, a
pin-awarding ceremony and 4-H
Club movies.
Miss Mary Lou Lashbrook,
home demonstration agent here,
reminded all club members that
they have only until Oct. 20 to
complete their project books. Club
members cannot get credit for
the year’s 4-H work, nor can
they win a pin, until these books
are finished, she said.
The completed books may be re
turned to club leaders, or may be
handed in at the Extension Of
fice.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stewart of
Palmer became the parents of a
nine-pound son this week. The
•baby was born at Valley Hospital
Sorry, But It Just
Ain’t So
Questioned concerning a recent
rumor that there are plans in the
making to pave Wasilla Highway
next season, Oliver Onkka, local
Alaska Road Commission foreman,
said today that he knew nothing
of such a proposal. He added that
he seriously doubted the truth
of the rumor, since the ‘Wasilla
road is too wiggly to pave in its
present condition.”
Easements are being sought
now, to eliminate some of the
curves in the road, but more will
be needed before paving can be
considered, the foreman thinks.
He is hopeful that there will be
an oiling program for the road
next season, but looks for nothing
more.
The rumor reported that paving
would begin at the junction of
Glenn Highway and Valley Street,
travel down Valley to the Wasilla
Highway, and then continue clear
to Wasilla from that point.
