HOME MAKER'S
 NEWS
Nugget Club

To observe the 18th anniver- sary of Home Extension work in Alaska, the Nugget Homemakers' club of Palmer have noted some of the many ways the Exten- sion Service has helped them.
 Those of us who were new to the Territory have been able to make a better adjustment to life in Alaska because of things the Service has taught us-how best to use locally available materials and foods; how to do for our selves many things we hired others to do in the States. The Service keeps us abreast of new trends in homemaking sewing, cooking, cleaning, gardening. We learn the easiest, most economical way to do these things.
 Our children have been taught homemaking and farming skills through All work, and have been guided to wholesome use of their spare time.
 The Homemakers' clubs pro- vide US with recreation as well as training for better homemaking, and there we have been able to meet and make friends with other women whose interests are are similar to our own.
 Life in Alaska would be more difficult and less interesting without the Extension Service.
 Palmasilla Club
 The Palmasilla Homemakers' club wishes to congratulate the Extension Service on the occa- sion of it's 25th anniversary this. month. As beneficiaries of the Extension Service, we take pride in being a part of such an or ganiZation.
 When the Palmasilla club was organized in 1850, we had no idea that the Extension Service COW cred such a wide range of sub-' jects. We have thoroughly enjoy ed demonstrations on such var iety of projects as ceramics, cleaning furniture, greenhouse culture, and kitchen tools and ap- pliances. We have had help with our cooking, claning, Sewing and care of our children. There have been discussions on the newer fabrics and colorS in our clothes and homes. When the holidays roll around, the Extension Ser vice is right there with recipes, decorating tips and things to make These are just few of the things that have held our interest in the past five years We are looking forward to the many new things that we know will be offered in the future.
 Riverbend Club
 We decided that the best way to express our appreciation to the Extension Service on it's 18th anniversary in Alaska, would be for each to write as briefly as possible what the Extension Ser vice and Homemakers' clubs have meant to her. The following statements do not represent the entire membership, but I am very sure that they express the senti- ments of the entire membership.
 When we moved into the Val ley almost five years ago, River bend club was the means through which I met and learned to know many of our neighbors. I especi- ally appreciate the helpful ideas brought to us by the Home Dem onstration Agents-the fine craft room provided by the Extension Service and the useful things which I have learned there. Many of my favorite recipes have come to me through the Exten- sion Newsletter. Esther Kirsch, secretary.

 T do appreciate the Extension Service and the .HOmemakerS' clubs. In 1887 when my family moved to the Matanuska Valley from North Dakota, Riverbend Homemakers' club was establish ed in my community-making our adjustment to the new en- vironment much easier. In the busy days ahead to meet with the dear, friendly Riverbend club members was joy indeed and to learn of the timely things which the Extension Service had for us in homemaking and farming. To be a member of Homemakers' club; to work to- gether; entertain together; through the passing years has put down good roots in AlaSka'S homes, thanks to the Extension Service at our command for un- tiring help and research in build ing good homes and happy out look on life.

 Homesteaders Club The Extension Service stands ready to help us all, men and women alike.
 For women there are recipe folders including: pies, candy, canning, use of Alaskan berries, weeds, mushrooms, fish and wild meat. By no means does Exten- sion Service help only the cook. There are also special classes on knitting, rugmaking, sewing for beginners, advanced tailoring, ceramics, and housekeeping.
 For the men of our community there have been public meetings on meat cutting, which could be exceptionally beneficial for hunt CTS, and proper insulation of AL aSkan homes to benefit the home builders.
 1t is impossible to touch on every subject of interest because of the wide scope. The Extension Service stands ready to assist each of us at any time. You have but to ask.
