URANIUM’S EASIER TO FIND THAN CALVES
IN DAIRY-CONSCIOUS MATANUSKA VALLEY
Noticed any slightly pink Ki
[ wanis countenances lately? Just
S mention calf and watch that pink
1 deepen to a full-glow red. The
{reason? Ah, thereby hangs the
j tale.
In late February, Kiwanians an
| nounced plans for a new type of
j youth project—that of calf-rais
ing. It was exactly the kind of
contest they take most interest in
—it would provide worthwhile
objectives for a dozen or so young
people (that figure was an off
| hand Kiwanis estimate) and it
would give the coming Valley fair
j a boost by providing a new class
| of exhibits, come fall. It was, in
deed, a worthwhile project from
[every point of view.
! So, applications were taken, ap
! plicants solicited and found and
{the Kiwanis Club now finds itself
: with six young people who have
; met all tests and now stand ready
to take charge of a calf. There’s
just one drawback, though—no
calves.

Club members have left no
, stone unturned, but they haven’t
; been able to find a calf under any
of them. They’d even buy the
animals, if they could find one
single farmer in this whole wide
Valley who would sell any. (How
ever, gifts are preferred, of
course.)
Now committee members M. D.
Snodgrass, Alva Saxton and
James Hurley are voicing a con
certed plea to all Valley farmers:
"For Kiwanis sake, won’t you sell
us, lend us or give us any spare
calves you have cluttering up j
your dairy bams. We need six.”
Meanwhile, Robert Hartman I
(and he needs a sponsor as well I
as a calf), Betty Jean Clark, Den-1
nis Busby and Diane Short, as
well as two unnamed Anchorage
boys and girls, are preparing
empty stalls in family barns for
the arrival of a calf. They know
they’ll get one—Kiwanis prom
ised.
