NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
Farm Auction Sale
Two enterprising Valley farm
ers and long time residents,
Harold L. Thuma and P. J. Hem
mer are sponsoring a farm auction
sale. This project is conceded by
most Valley farmers as a good
idea. It will give them a chance
to buy or sell livestock, machin
ery, and perhaps some furniture
for the wife. ,
The sale should be of particular
interest to farmers and home
steaders on the Kenai who are
interested in getting a start with
livestock.
There will be butcherstock,
family cows and calves. The sale
will be on a cash purchase basis
and all items must be paid for
before leaving the auction
grounds.
The first sale is scheduled for
Saturday afternoon of the 18th of
October at the Palmer Stockyard
and slaughter house.

The. Extension Servicfe will
start accepting applications for

HEALTH COUHGIL
HOTES
The cost of public health, as of
everything else in the Valley, has
gone up this year. This is due
not only to an overall increase in
costs, but also to an increase in
the number of people served in
an ever-growing population. The
Health Council therfore has had
to ask the community for more
funds this year and urges both
old and new residents who are
interested in maintaining the Val
ley’s high standards of health tc
support this public health pro
gram by supporting the Commun
ity Chest in its drive October 6-18

Another special is the fur sew

garments. If you are at all inter
ested in learning fur sewing bring
the following material with you:
fur to be renovated, thimble, or
dinarv needle, tape line, scissors
razor blade, straight tape (lite tape
for lite fur, dark tape for dark
f fur). There will be some fur thal
j may be purchased but if you have
! something of your own to make
I over that will be all that is neces
. sary.
The railroad fare will be z
■ round trip for $24.30. This is the
single fare, a receipt entitling you
to a return ticket which will be
signed by Mrs. Fohn Hansen dur
ing the last days of the course.
