MENDENHALL4-H CLUB
NOW RAISING CALVES;
PROGRESS REPORTED
Filled with pride of ownership
and charged with performing many
duties in caring for their young
livestock, enthusiastic members of
Mendenhall 4-H Club, at their re
cent business meeting, answered
roll call with fine progress reports,
concerning their new calf projects
that are now well under way.
Thou?h no cries were heard over
spilled milk, plenty such spilling
incidents occurred when, from
their youthful owners, frisky baby
calves received their first lessons
in learning to drink milk out of
buckets. But it didn’t take the boys
long to prove Vho is master in the
4-H stable.
According to reports, all calves
are doing well, are vigorous and
healthy, have good shelter, and re
ceive all the good care they re
quire to grow and thrive into pay
ing club business.
The boys who have their calf pro
jects started are: Bob Ogden, Du
ane Reddecopp, Jack Makipen,
John Tanner, Henry Allen Jen
kins, and Gary Jenkins.
Richard Gaines owns a young
s'eer which came through the
winter in excellent condition. This
promising animal is aoout nine
months old and will go on pasture
for its sole feed during summer
as soon as the grass comes up.
This fall, after fattening the ani
mal on corn for a few weeks, Rich
ard can expect top market price
for prime beef. This is fine pro
gress for the club, one that shows
a lot of patient work on the part
of the young owner.
Jack Weisgerber raises his own
plants for his vegetable garden. In
his hot bed, cabbage, cauliflower,
Brussel sprouts and lettuce are up,
ready to transplant. His brother
Don also chose a garden for his
project, as did Dave Norton. Peter
Wood, Jr., is happy with his baby
goat, and John Steward with his
mother rabbit. ,
Bob Ogden, President of the club,
introduced a special visitor, Ellis
Reynolds, representative of Centen
nial Flouring Mills Co. of Tacoma,
who explained his company’s part
in our 4-H program.

NEW FILM STYLE,!
AT 20TH CENTURY
“Slattery’s Hurr.cane,” Twen
tieth Century-Fox’s exhilarating
adventure - romance, starring
Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell j
and Veronica Lake is coming to I
the 20th Century Theatre tonight
for a three day run.
Much of the picture was filmed
on location at the Navy Air Base
in Miami, Florida, and Director
Andre de Toth skillfully blended
the daring exploits of the Navy’s
hurricane hunting pilots, shown
for the first time on the screen,
with a dramatically plotted love
story.
Widmark’s role as an ex-Navy j
pilot who has a way with women
is a decided contrast to his lormer j
screen villainy and the change of
pace gives him an opportunity for
romantic scenes with both Miss;
Darnell and Miss Lake, who add;
much to the entertainment quality,
of the picture.
The stellar supporting cast in
eludes John Russell, Gary Merrill, j
Welter Kingslord, Raymond Green-j
leaf, Stanley Waxman and Joseph j
De Santis. “Slattery’s Hurricane”;
was produced by William Perlberg j

by Alaska boy scout council presi
| dent George A. Parks, former Gov- j

mented him on his • devotion to 1
