 necessary requirements anc made 13 articles of clothing Her entries at the Fair includ ed slip, a dickey, a skirt, anc a blouse. She won one blue rib bon and three reds.
 The Dinkel family believes iil All work as proved by the fact that four of the six children are 4-H'ers. Mrs. Dinkel began her All work as a club leader eight years ago when Flo Alice joined her first All club.
 LYNN'S RECORD
 Lynn Sandvik, son of MT. and Mrs. I. M. Sandvik, arrived in Alaska as small child. His par ents were also Valley colonists.
 When the boy was old enough for All club work, he joined the Garden Club and planted nine different varieties of plants in a one-quarter acre patch. Lynn had theory. The best way "to make the best better was to stick to gardening until he had mastered the business Sc he persevered with garden ing and did not switch to an- other project and has steadily kept up with gardening for sev. en years. @.
 Each year he increases the number of varieties and the size of the plot. This year he planted 27 varieties in a three and a half acre plot. ....
 Garden Sales
 His excellent products, exhib- ited at the Matanuska Valley Fair, won him a trip to Port land for the best garden dis plan. He had 23 varieties on ex- hibit. Lynn has received $24OO from his garden sales during the seven years, plus $6O in prizes and an additional $500 as an estimated value for the garden products he has grown his family has enjoyed.
 Significantly, Lynn's work be measured only in dollars. For example, in his sixth year of gardening, the youth received eight pounds of l Finnish potatoes direct from Finland and planted them. He tended them carefully and when i harvested found they yielded about 50 potatoes to hill. From the eight pounds he harvested over 300 pounds. This record | beats any other he has heard of. Such work earns. the youth i, the title of ''Alaska's youngest experimental farmer" and is a ! job from which the entire terri | tory can benefit.
 Besides gardening, Lynn! joined the poultry, rabbit, and REA Clubs and acted as a All | Club leader for younger chil- dren in his community.
 DICKS ACHIEVEMENT
 Fifteen-year-old Richard Dan 5ler has been an outstanding A. H. Club boy in Seward. His work Illustrates the courage dis played by many of these youth 'ul 4-H'ers throughout Alaska. Fo make success of poultry 'aising, the boy had to clear 'tumps from his land and level t off with pick and shovel. He hen built chicken house and enced the yard in with mesh wire. ,...
 Because he couldn't get al ,rooder, day-old chicks from or setting eggs from m Alaskan hatchery, he hunted round town until he found five citing hens and AZ eggs. "Su- le" and Albert were set arly in June. A few days la- CT a neighbor who offered twol lens and 32 eggs made it pos ible to set three more, aI-

Chugiiak Comment
By JUSTINE M. PARKS

CHUGIAK-The new com. munity on the Palmer highway
 between Eagle river and Eklut. ma is Chugiak, Alaska. There is a postoffice, coffee shop, trad ing post and lodge, in addition to nearly 30 homes there.
 The growth of this communi- ty has been very rapid. Three years ago, when the land was first opened for homesteading, there was only the Briggs hog ranch, Nyberg's yellow house, Fire lake roadhouse, an empty cabin at Mile 1872 and a roof less cabin at Mile Is. Now there are cabins on almost every 5 acre tract from Mirror lake to Fire lake.
 One of the community's ma jor problems at present is that of a school. There are 24 chil- dren in Chugiak of school age. Light and power is also a prob lem, but it is hoped that the Rural Identification Association will be supplying power to the area by next year.
 Last February a Community Club was organized with Paul Swanson of Mile 1912 as presi- dent. The club meets once each month at homes of the members. The group discusses community problems at these meetings, which are concluded with a social hour.
 Chugiak Community Club met last Sept. 20 at the home of MT. and Mrs. Vernon Haik at Mile 20. The school problem was discussed at this meeting. The next regular meeting of the club will be held at the Moosehorn Trading Post. MT. and Mrs. James McDowell will be hosts to the group. That meeting is l scheduled to be held on Octo- Der Is. All residents of Chugiak are urged to attend. I
 MT. and Mrs. Pete Merriman of Fire lake lodge are in Port land, Ore, on business trip. The lodge is closed while they are away, but Mrs. Merriman writes that they will be return ing soon. l
 MT. and Mrs. Perry Hilleary ot Mile IA have leased their house and are spending the win ter Outside. They expect to be back in six or eight months.
 aeese Tatro has been very busy in the last week doing dog Ing chores up and down the road with his new ID-5 trac- tor. One of the new projects is a drive through >Chugiak park. Another is a basement for a Building which may later be used for a school house and community meeting place.
 Chugiak offers its sympathy to all recent sufferers who have | begged down in the mudhoIe at Mile 19. Sympathy may not help much when it's midnight and the mud is inches deep but at least there is consolation Tn the fact that one more dan gerous curve has been eliminat- ed from the Palmer highway lr
 The entire Chugiak district rom Eagle river to the Knik bridge is in the Eklutna WildIife Refuge. Passing motorists enjoy watching the black bears and :; the moose near the highway in ; this area. Hunters are reminded { that only wolves and coyotes { can be taken in the refuge. e Coffee Insures Everything

As Others See Us
Washington Post

It is doubtful whether the efforts of the State Department to spread international understanding of American ideals are much enhanced by the invasion of civil rights currently counenanced and fost cred ill the name of security by the Government of the United States. The probe into the personal po- tical opinions of motion picture industry employees being conducted by the House Committee on un- American Activities must seem especially anomalous. Americans have more reason to feel grateful than ofs'nded that the London News Chronicle char acterizes this committee as the most American feature of life in the United States
 Commenting the committees current inquiry, this British paper observed: The inquistors appear to have opened their by announcing their findings. And when attorney protested at something, they had him thrown out By tolerating it's methods and it's aims, by loosng the heresy hunting hounds to bay at frightened civil servants by restricting the movements of Communist journal iss in the United States, Americans themselves practicing these very evils of which they the Kremlin and it's satellites" What reply we wonder will the Voice of America be able to make?
 At the Herald Tribune Forum the other evening William Atwood of four correspondents who reported life behind the iron curtain made this ominous observations Tn the northern countres-say Czet zetloSlovakia, Finland and Austra-I'd say free speech is complete it is in this country In fact
 would say that would be safer-in terms of his job and his reputation-for a Czech attack the Soviet Union than it would be for American to defend 1t today But the story in the southern countries is somewhat different The comparison is scarcely very complimentary to land which has traditionally prided itself above all else upon its respect for the principle of freedom of expression.

AID FOR THE NANAJOS

The problem of poverty stricken Navajo indians has now been set tled-though not to the satisfaction of the white residents of New Mex GO.
 The state of New Mexico receives a total of s7,OOo,Ooo from the Fed eral government to aid persons on relief, and the Navajos were sup posed to get some Of this money
 However, their plight resulted largely frcm the fact that they don't vote. Citizens on relief do vote, so most of New Mexico's 22,- coo rel.efers have been whites.
 The showdown came when the Federal government warned New Mexican officials that unless they took care of all thelr citizens-the Navajos as well as the whites their relief grant from the U. s. Government would be withdrawn.
 It didn't take long after that to decide to take care Of the Maya jos!

Exchange Commission and also at tempted to jail several big income tax violators, such as Andrew Mel lon and Charles E. Mitchell of the National City Bank In fact, a good part of Roosevelt's political cam paign in 1886 was based on attack ing Wall Street
 Now, however, Republicans point out that the head of a Wall Street house with one of the worst re- cords of all has become head ot the combined Army and Navy They have nothing against Forrestal per sonally. In fact, most Republicans like him. But they also think that it is time the Republican party dis pelled the Democratic myth that
 the COP is the especial friend Of the big bankers.
 Fer that reason they may go rather carefully into Forrestal's cal eer and show up the fact that banker with a Wall Street record has now heen elevated by the Dem Ccrats to be head of the Army and Navy-at a time when the Army and Navy fer the first time in his tory are consolidated.

FROM EXILE TO AMBASSADOR

It was only a few short years ago that French Ambassado.' Henri Bonnet was leading most prosaic life. He was schoolteacher. Then came the first world war and schoolmaster Bonnet left his books to fight as an infantryman on the Western Front-four years of it. He won the CroiX de Guerre and then came back to do some thinking as to how wars could be prevented in the future.
 That was how Bonnet happened to join the League of Nations Sec retar.at where he worked on var ious international projects until l940 when Hitler'5 forces swarmed over France, and Bonnet escaped to England one jump ahead of the Nazis.
 Bonnet then became part of the French Government in Exile. The Germans in those early days of the war were trying to bolster mid west isolation in the U. S., and Bonnet was rushed to New York to help counteract their propa- ganda
 There he went back to school teaching--this time, political sci ence.

Republicans who Will have to pass upon the qualifications of James Forrestal for the all-import- ant job of Secretary o1 National Defense, have been checking into his background and have stumbled onto some highly interesting facts.
 Back in the first years of the Roosevelt Administration Forrestal was exposed by the Senate Banking Committee probe for having got around a s84o,Oo0 income-tax pay ment by setting up personal hold ing corporation.
 This Senate banking probe also exposed Forrestals banking firm Dillon, Read and Co.-as one of the worst highbinders on Wall Street when 1t came to floating bad leans to Germany and Latin America.
