which were performed free thru
the generosity of the physicians.
Persons seeking aid from the
Welfare Council in the form of
advice, in finding a job, or in
some other form of assistance go
through their representative, U.
S. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton,
who calls' the council to action
whenever it is needed.

prosperous year for almost every

low annual membership fees and
the Community Chest as the only
two sources left from which to
pay for light, fuel, supplies, other
details of upkeep, and BOOKS.
This year the Library Association
has asked the Community Chest
to include $167.76 in its budget
for these purposes. It is a very
small sum in return for the serv
ices it renders the community.
The Library Association board
members have given unstintingly
of their time in administrative
detail; ordering, cataloging and
repair of books; cleaning, shovel
ling, carpentering and painting.
Many interested Valley friends
have volunteered professional as
sistance and supplies for the
building. Volunteer librarians are
on duty two or three hours each
week to keep the library open
from 2-4 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m.
Mondays through Fridays. Last
summer the library was kept
open three hours most of the af
ternoons.
The present Palmer Library
Association board members are
Mrs. Earl Graves, president; Geo.
Geiwitz, vice-president; Mrs. Don
Ingalls, secretary; Mrs. Foster
Sims, treasurer; Hugh Johnson,

the Valley, the council has asked
the Community Chest for only
$400 for its budget this year. This
amount is based on the past
year’s expenses. The Welfare and
Disaster Council is the custodian
of a community disaster fund
which it keeps on hand for a dis
aster of community-wide propor
tions. A committee from the
council is in charge of the wel
fare unit in the Valley Civil De
fense organization. If next year’s
needs exhaust the budgeted am
ount, the council could dip into
this disaster fund and try to pay
it back next year.
Members of the Welfare and
Disaster Council responsible for
administering its funds are: Mrs.
Ben Hudgins, president; Mrs. Ar
line Day, vice-president; Mrs.
Matt Perkins, secretary-treasurer;
Clifton Grover, Dr. F. R. Sims,
Eugene Kirsch; Mrs. Herbert

Snow on the mountains and
skim ice on the puddles should
convince everyone that winter is
not far off. The regular Monday
Kiwanis luncheon meeting was
lively with discussion of jobs that
must be done before the big
freeze.
Hospital Repairs
So convincing was the talk that
Roy Brock, Richard Washburn,
Jim Hurley, Ed Smith and Presi
dent Hugh Johnson soon found
themselves scrambling all over
the Valley Hospital, poking, pry
ing and daubing, in initial efforts
to help “fit” the hospital for win
ter.
Another crew is needed Satur
day, President Johnson said, to
help bank the walls with sawdust
and patch up holes around the
building. The Kiwanians would
welcome all the help they can get
Ed Smith and Miss Louise Kel
logg. Officers are selected each
year at an annual meeting to
which members of the library as
sociation are invited.
Librarians who have donated
their services during the past
year include: Mrs. Sims, Mrs.
Clarence Bell, Mrs. Newell Tal
cott, Mrs. Don Mealy, Mrs. In
galls, Miss Edna Wehking, Mrs.
Byron G. Felkner, Mrs. C. Ivan
Branton, Miss Florence Eby and
Mrs. Graves.
in the way of trucks to haul saw
dust. men with shovels, and oth
ers with hammers. The work de
tail will begin at 8 a.m. at the
hospital, and, with a little help
and good luck, should be finished
by noon. Any men willing to help
should call Hugh Johnson at the
Experiment Station or Ed Smith
at Ketchikan Spruce Mills—or.
better yet, just turn up Saturday
morning ready for work.
City Streets
The untenable condition of Pal
rner’s city streets also came in (or
discussion at the Monday meet
ing. Kiwanian (and Councilman)
Lloyd Severns reported on the
difficulties experienced by the
council in getting equipment to
do the work. The Kiwanians vot
ed to extend their services to the
council if or when they can be ol
help. Jim Hurley was appointed
as contact man with the council
on this problem.
