Mixing Bowl 4-H Club
By Jean Onkka
Miss Mary Lou Lashbrook was
present at the ninth meeting of
the Mixing Bowl Club, held on
Aug. 17 at two p.m. She gave
us many helpful hints, especially
about Fair work.
It was decided, at this meeting,
to have a Fair booth showing va
rious phases of 4-H Club activi
ties. Judy Hurley and Waldine
Lundberg will demonstrate bak
ing a chocolate cake. Jean Smith
and Darlene Brager will ice it.
Leona Lucas and Leeann Hoff
man will demonstrate the making
of a hot pad holder.
These Fair demonstrations also
were given at the Aug. 31 meet
ing of the club, which was guest
day. All mothers and friends of
Mixing Bowl girls were invited to
attend.
Items to be exhibited at the
Fair also were shown at the guest
day on Aug. 31.
Kit Johnson and Waldine Lund
berg will supervise the making
of our scrapbook.
On Aug. 24, the Mixing Bowl
Club held a workshop—"and it
was just that—work!
On Aug. 17, Darlene Barger
and Leona Lucas made spice
cookies and Jean Smith made
baking powder biscuits. Roll call
was answered by telling of some
experience at 4-H camp this year.
Seven of the Mixing Bowl mem
bers attended camp this year.
Buite 4-H Club
By Stanley Zaborac
The Club’s secretary and mem
bers were so busy planning Fair
work this week, that they held no
formal meeting. We met and
talked of our Fair plans and ate
the refreshments and drank the
Kool - Aid supplied by Keith
Smith.
We expect to have a good re
port of the Club’s activities dur
ing the Fair, at our next meeting.

PALMER DRESS SHOP
CHANGES ITS NAME
Here’s a case where common
usage has achieved the desired
effect. Hereafter the melodic but
empty title of “Variety Vogues”
won’t be twisting tongues in the
shop of that name. The shop has
a new name now, and it is, of
course, “Betty’s,” just as it has
been for most Valley shoppers for
many months now.
CORRECTION
Irwin Pliti was erroneously .*
named as chairman of Ihe 1950
Community Chest campaign in
the Malanuska Valley, in last
weeks Valley Frontiersman.
Marvin Slaughter is campaign
chairman. Mr. Plitt is in charge
of publicity for the campaign.
