BUTTE 4-H CLUB
By Stanley Zaborac
Still more 4-H Club fair booth
plans were discussed when the
Kutte Club met at the I. M. Sand
vik home last Tuesday evening.
Club president Kent Sandvik re
minded members that only one
more meeting remains before
Fair-time, and that Butte Club
members have a number of chores
to complete before that time—
they must encourage the .last
ounce of growth in their best
head of cabbage, polish their heif
ers’ hooves and horns with nail
polish, groom their chickens so
that every feather lies in place,
and finish rugs and model planes.
At Tuesday^ meeting, Mickey
Zaborac showed the drinking
fountain he uses for his hens.
* All members reported that they
will be prepared to show some
part of their 4-H work by snap
shot in the Fair booth.
Miss Mary Lou Lashbr<pok,
home demonstration agent, visit
ed all Butte club members last
week, giving suggestions and en
couragement for the completion
of their work. The Butte Club is
hoping for 100 per cent comple
tion of club projects this year.

ONLY 2 RECRUITS SIGNED
FOR NATIONAL GUARD
Apparently there will be no
National Guard platoon in Pal
mer. Tom Murton, scheduled
to be officer in charge of a pro
posed 42-man unit, said today
that an intensive recruiting
campaign had produced only
two Guard members. Since the
minimum requirement is 37
men. and the normal platoon
is 42 men strong, Mr. Murton
suspects plans for Palmer's Na
tional Guard will be abandoned.
However there has been no of
ficial announcement on the
matter, as yet.
Seward's Rail Link
To Be Kept Till '52
If Funds Will Stretch
The city of Seward can be as
sured its rail link with Portage
will be travelled until the end of
1952, “subject to the availability
of funds,” the Seward Seaport
Record reported last week. The
Seward Chamber of Commerce
was so advised in a letter signed
by Lt. Gen. W. E. Kepner of the
U. S. Air Force.
However Sewardites are con
cerned about the note of pessi
mism in the “availability of
funds” clause. They feel rehabili
tation work on their end of the
rail link must begin at once, if
the road is to be maintained
through the heavy snows of the
coming winter. _

YOUTH'S DROWNING
AT SEWARD BRINGS
DRIVE FOR TOWN POOL
Residents of Seward today are
taking steps to avert a repetition
of the tragedy which occurred at
Little Bear Lake last week, when
young David Shea drowned in
one of its muddy holes. Little
Bear Lake is a favorite swimming
spot for young Seward-ites, but
is extremely dangerous because
it is pitted with deep holes.
David’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Shea, asked friends to send
no flowers to his funeral. In
stead, they asked that the money
go toward a fund for a swimming
pool to be built for Seward’s
youth. A sizeable fund already
has been built for the memorial
pool.
WASILLA—Mrs. Oscar John
