The meeting was called to order
by Pauline Smith. Ten members
were present. The girls told what
they had baked during the past
two weeks. The boys gave re
ports of their gardens.
Then we sang songs. Pauline
Smith demonstrated whole wheat
drop cookies.
While the girls baked their
cookies, the boys weeded their
gardens. Mabel and Betsy worked
on their needle books.

The meeting was called to or
der by president Larry Bentti.
The roll call and minutes were
read by Sally Reed. After that,
we talked about 4-H camp.
Our next meeting is July 7,
when two demonstrations will be
given.
We forgot to mention that Mrs.
Trowbridge is Mrs. Estelle’s as
sistant.
The eternal triangle usually
goes along smoothly for a time,
but eventually becomes a wreck
tangle.
| The Fourth?
Ho-Hum - -
Never has any editorial in th<
Valley Frontiersman been mor<
thoroughly and more literally
taken to heart, than was las
week’s appeal to use discretior
on the highways, in the air
and on the lakes and streams
where vacationers flocked foi
entertainment.
By July 5, there hadn’t been £
major automobile accident in this
part of Alaska, no plane mishaps
were reported, and there weren’1
even any cases of medical treat
ment for firecracker-seared fin
gers. In short, it was the safest
Fourth of July, without a doubt,
that ever went down in the his
tory of the Valley.
It was so safe, and so altogether
uneventful, that this week’s col
umns in the Valley Frontiersman
are lean and news-hungry, in so
far as Valley events are con
cerned. Most momentous happen
ing of the four-day holiday was
the July 4th arrival of twins at
the Valley Hospital.
Territorial Highway Patrolman
Stanley Laird didn’t even make
an arrest for a traffic violation,
until late on the evening of the
Fourth.
Congratulations, Valley resi
dents—we think somebody ought
to design a special merit badge
for all of you for such level
headed celebrating. Let’s have
more holidays just like this one.
The greatness of any man is
shown by his regard for the rights
of others and his belief in the in
violability of the human person
ality.

FARM DOINGS
IN THE VALLEY
By Lew Hanks
: Hugh Johnson and Dick Me
' Curdy of the ARA left this week
' for the Kenai Peninsula where
Mr. Johnson will institute an ec
| onomic study of farming in the
area.
Parker Lester reports he ex
pects to move to nev, quarters in
the Recreation Hall about July 6.
He will leave on the seventh for
a week’s trip to Seward and
other points on the Peninsula.
Allan Linn has been mowing
pastures on the farm to control
foxtail. He says that although
the cows will hardly touch the
stuff when growing in the pas
ture, after it is cut the herd
seems to clean it up pretty well,
along with the other dry grass.
For good management—graze,
mow and fertilize those pastures
in rotation.
Dr. William Sweeiman has re
turned from his trip to the East.
Homemakers Clubs

cently installed on the Glenn
farm.
Your correspondent was well
pleased with the information on

water holding capacity of the
soil that he was able to obtain
from Mrs. Glenn and from ob
servation of the sprinkler set-up.
