community, Eugene G. Rogusz
ka of the Division of Aviation
announced recently.

miles east of Ninilchik.
All pilots are cautioned that!

Kiwanians Aid Young
People in 1962 Year
Achievements of the Kiwanis
Club of Palmer for the 1962
year, ns listed in the annual re
port of president John Weisen
bergor, appear to have been
“youth-oriented,” since many
activities were related to young
people in some way,
FFA and 4-11 Club members
were aided by' awards made for
outstanding achievements, as
sistance given in planning the
fair program, and financial
contributions for fair prizes and
for delegates' expenses in at
tending the state youth leader
ship council at Fairbanks, Wei
senberger said. Kiwanis assist
ed the Boy Scout program by
helping with spring cleanup in
the city, the Scout fair booth,
Scout fund drive, and Scout
camp. The club contributed to
ward transportation of child
ren to the ski area, and prepar
ed 650 bags of Easter candies
which were distributed to the

local churches to be given to
children. Four awards were
presented to outstanding eigh
th grade graduating students.
Perhaps the least publicized
of all activities, Weisenberger
said, has been aid to needy
children, which includes pro
viding eye glasses for three
children, food and clothing for
needy families, and school lun
ches paid for in behalf of
needy children, as well as
Thanksgiving and Christmas
baskets for needy families.
A special committee on parks
prepared a detailed plan of de
velopment for the Palmer city
park, enlisting the services of
an architect who designed a
permanent building, and also
made up an attractive brochure
of the plan.
Considerable worK, under
Kiwanis sponsorship, was done
to carry out the long-range
plan. Local miners donated a
full work day, and owners the
use of heavy equipment for
land clearing and road build
ing. Other individuals furnish
ed labor and equipment.
The two major fund-raising
projects of the year were the
annual Minstrel Show and the
Homemakers’ News
Cheechakos
Miss Myrtle Bang, home
demonstration agent for the
Matanuska Valley, was guest
speaker at the Jan. 8 meeting
af the Cheechakos homemak
ers’ club. Her subject was the
wash and wear abilities of syn
thetic materials. Mrs. Jean
Skiile was also a guest at the
meeting, which was held in the

The next meeting of the Chee
