Village Clean-up C
Waged at English
A small group of older youth
in English Bay has organized a
4-H. Builders club, and will con
centrate on home and community
improvement. The usual 4-H club
member carries an individual pro
ject to completion, but in this
newly organized club the projects
will be accomplished on a group
basis, and the first of its kind
in Alaska, says Mrs. Gladys Mus
grove, district Home Demonstra
tion agent, Homer.
After discussing several things
which would improve their com
munity a project in yard clean
up campaign is being tackled in
three stages. 1) Garbage pails
foi each home in the village, 2)
garbage pits in easily reached
locations adjacent to “cluster” of
homes, and 3) a village clean-up
day.
The first stage of the campaign
was completed by eight members
who worked diligently to cut dis
carded oil drums in half, attach
handles, and paint a bright 4-H
club green. After the cans were
dry, one was delivered to each
home in the village. This com
pitted, the group met with four
members of the village council,
Sarges Kvasnikoff, Herman Moo
nin, Alex Moonin and Dan Anah
onak, concerning the proposed
garbage pits.
Using a large map of the vil
lage showing the homes, paths
and ground contours, the youth
and the council members dis
cussed the best location for the
pits, and the council members
offered their guildance and super
vision to get the job done.
The third stage of the c a m -
paign, the Clean-up Day, will in
volve both the older 4-H Build
ers and the regular 4-H club, the
English Bay Hustlers.
Members of the newly organ
ized 4-H Builders are Steve, Nick
and Chrisent Tanape, Vincent,
Kathy and Irene Kvasnikoff and
Seraphim and Ben Ukatisii. Steve
Tanape was elected chairman of
the group, and Ben Ukatish, sec
retary.
Recreation for the village, and
storage facilities for the homes
are also slated to be tackled by
this group who desire to improve
their community.
Mrs. Musgrove recently came
back from English Bay where she
helped organize the club and
worked with the native young
sters in the village clean-up ef
forts.

March of Dimes
Directors Named
Mrs. Ganelle Swanson of Kenai
and Mrs. R. J. Hardin of Sol
dotna have been appointed area
campaign directors for the
March of Dimes this year.
Monday, November 13th, all
area directors for the South-cen
tral District met at Anchorage
to confer with Felix Montes.
Alaska Director of the National
Foundation, and Burr Gibson, Na
tional Fund Raising Director.
Other state officials of the Na
tional Foundation also attended.
This pre-campaign meeting
gave area directors a chance to
plan and prepace for the annual
March of Dimes which takes
place in January.
The National Foundation has
dropped part of its original name
(For Polio) because of the fact
that it is now directing its work
toward congenital birth defects
and rheumatoid arthritis as well
as continuing assistance with
polio.
Seeks Brothers
A request for assistance in lo
cating her two brothers, Robert
and Donald Mease, has been re
ceived by the Office of the Gov
ernor from Mrs. Ruth Jones, 2115
Ropon, Lewiston, Idaho.
Mrs. Jones said her brothers are
“bush pilots, somewhere in Alas
ka.” She asks that anyone know
ing them ask them to write to her
at the aforementioned address.
Alaska Sets New
High in Highway
Fuel Consumption
Alaska is tied for third place
in the percentage of increase in
highway fuel consumption in 1961
as compared with 1960, accord
ing to figures released by the US
Dept, of Commerce.
T. I). Sherard, chief engineer
for the Alaska Div. of Highways,
noted that the Commerce Depart
ment’s preliminary estimates show
Alaska tied with Arizona with a
5.:i per cent increase. The only
two states to show greater in
creases were Delaware. 6.6 per
cent; and Nevada, 5.6 per cent.
The figures show also, Shetard
noted, that consumption of fuel
for highway use in Alaska is
nearing the amount consumed for
other use such as for airplanes
and boats.
Alaska is the only state in the
nation in which consumption of
highway fuel doesn't far exceed
consumption for other purposes.
In most states this is by a 10 or
11 to 1 relation, the chief engin
eer noted.
He pointed out though, that
despite the fact that the average
Alaska vehicle consumed less gal
lons- of fuel in 1961 than the av
erage vehicle in every other state
except Hawaii and North Dakota,
highway fuel consumed in 1%1
was 49,991,000 gallons, compared
with 52,031,000 for non-highway
use.
The non-highway fuel consump
tion actually dropped slightly
while the consumption of high
way fuel in the 49th state was
increasing by better than 5 per
cent, Sherard noted.
He said that these facts, plus
the fact that the percentage of
increase in vehicle registrations
in Alaska leads all 50 states this
year over last year, show an in
creasing dependence by Alaskans
on their state highway system.
