PROSPECTS DIM
FOR CITY STREET
GRAVELING IN '52
As of this week it looks like
the gravel work on city streets
will have to wait until next year.
All summer the city street de
partment has been waiting for
the promised loan of a gravel
loader. The loader has been brok
en down and prospects for its
prompt repair appeared dim to
councilmen discussing the situa- j
tion at the City Council meeting
last week.
Mayor Carl Meier was in favor
of purchasing a loader that might
be immediately available. Oppon
ents to his plan pointed out that
the city had no bnoney to purchase
such a piece of equipment and
felt it unfair to saddle a new
council (to be elected October i)
with such a debt. In the end, ac
tion was postponed pending Chet(
Sandvik’s trip to Anchorage, j
where he was to get information ,
on prices and immediate avail
ability. No action was taken when
he returned with his report at a
special meeting held Monday
night. According to the mayor, j
the prices started at S20.000.

Short Course for Homemakers
Most active organized groups
have their yearly state or nation
al conventions, and not to be left
out—so do the Homemakers. In
Alaska the Homemakers have a
chance to get together—not ac
tually a convention but a refresh
er course for women engaged in
homemaking. This Short Course1
will be held at the University of
Alaska. October 24 to November
1.
This is the third year for the
course. Previous courses were
ver-> successful and with Mrs.
Lydia Fohn- Hansen again the
planner, the course should be as
helpful to those attending as pre
vious ones.
When Mrs. Fohn-Hansen was
in Palmer during Fair time, she
said the program will meet the
wishes of those who attend as
far as possible. She hopes to have
fur sewing as one of the features;
possibly something of interest in
mosses and linchen and ivory
carving. These will be in addition
to the homemaking subjects.
Those attending the Short
Course will have the opportunity
to see the University and meet
other Territorial homemakers.
Mrs. Justine Parks of Chugiak,
is general chairman of the Short
Course and Mrs. James Hurley is
a committee member. These two,
along with the Extension Ser
vice will be glad to answer any
questions concerning the Short
Course.

Used to Bake
That's a favorite phrase men like to quote. What was
it that old-fashioned baking had that men will never
forget? We'll tell you ... it was taste appeal. How did
mother get it? Just like the Palmer Baking Co. does
with plenty of good, fresh pure ingredients. TRY
SOME SOON. MEN LOVE IT.
