HOMEMAKERS ARE \
ACTIVE In VALLEY

Organized work among the women,
of the valley is carried on under the
supervision of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of the University of
Alaska, which maintains a Home
Demonstration Agent in the district.
At present there are four organized
Homemakers' clubs in the valley:
Mountain View at Camp &, Butte
Club at the Butte, Palmer Club for
those women living close to the Com
munity Center, and the Sourdoughs.
During the first part of September,
at least five more clubs will be orgn-
lied, so that the program will be
available to the women of each
neighborhood in the valley.
The general purpose of Homemakers'
clubs, as the name might imply. is
to study the profession of home
making, in its various phases and
many problems, enabling the women
to learn not only the theories, but
practical aids to increase their skill
and efficiency in their work, and
thus to provide more leisure time for
the cultural phases.
At a program-planning meeting
Augusta attended by represent
atiyes from each club and neighbor-
hood, it was decided to make "Cloth-
ing for the Family the main project
for the coming year. This will include
sub-projects on the care and use OF
the sewing machine, garment con-
struction and remodelling and the
construction and use of guide pat
terms. Short projects included in the
years program are "Home Grounds
Beautification" and 3 u Dig eting
the Farm Home Garden. Since the
Importance of recreation is emphasiz-
ed in Home makers club work,
program for this phase was planned
also, the subject chosen for this year
being the study of folk music OF
different countries.
One of the purposes of Home
makers clubs is to sponsor andpro-
vide leaders for the All clubs which
are also supervised by the Univers-
itv of Alaska Extension Service,
through the Agricultural Agent and
the Home Demonstration Agent.
Through these clubs, boys and girls
10 to 20 years of age learn high STAN
dards and better agricultural home
making practices, and develop lead
ership aud cooperation through work
ing and playing together. They
.1earn by doing" At present there
are five All clubs in the valley, with
a total enrolment of approximately
IS. Projects being carried on are
varied: gardens, grain, potatoes,
calves, sheep, pigs, colts, poultry,
baking and sewing. Many of the
members exhibited their products
at the Matanuska Valley Fair this
wear. The summers projects will be
brought to a close and prizes and
achievement pins awarded at the
All club Achievement Day on Oct
ober II.

"Bear down on baseball! Say
more about the county league and
get 'em to planning for the 1886
season! We've got to play ball"
That's what lot of the boys are
telling me. Well, there isn't so
much / can do. Only remind you
all that we're going to have a
league this year and that it's time
for all the communities and towns
to start talking baseball and plan
ming and putting out winning
team. It's about as easy to put
good team as it is a poor one,
so why not try to have the best
in the loop? That's the only way
to strengthen the league, Win
ball games and please the fans:
No baseball meeting will be
called until about the 21st of
March and it is hoped that each
community and town planning to
put a team in the league in 80
will know its mind by then. This
beautiful spring weather Will
bring on the old urge and many
of the boys will begin tossing the
