Mrs. David Warren Auxiliary Speaker Tells Members About Episcopal Mission • In Alaska Mrs. David Warren gave an inter esting talk on the Episcopal Mission for Indians at Fort Yukon, Alaska, at the Thursday, April 8, meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Mrs. Warren, who served for one year as secretary to the director of the mission, was intro duced by Mrs. George Mack. It was learned from her address that the village of Fort Yukon in the interior of Alaska, while buried in darkness and frozen many months of the year, is not so very different from our own church. Whereas the women attend their auxiliary meetings by moonlight, the work of the auxiliary is similar to St. Paul’s Auxiliary. In the church, a log cabin structure, ser vices are conducted in the Indian dia lect in the morning and English in the evening. Highlights of the year for the In dians are the traditional dog races on Easter Monday, the breaking of the ice and the coming of the steamboat bringing luxuries which the planes could not bring during the cold months. Then comes vacation Bible school followed by snow in September and at Christmas the sun appears on the horizon for about one hour at noon. The missionaries have brought the best thing to come to Alaska by the white man and that is the Christian religion, which is now replacing their religion of fear. i Mrs. R. P. Badham, president, an nounced that Mrs. Richard Dixon will serve as bazaar chairman for this year, assisted by a co-chairman, Mrs. Roland Vaughan. She also announc ed that Mrs. Ralph Parrish will serve' as treasurer, replacing Mrs. Richard. Dixon. Mrs. William Swets will speak on “Consecrated Hands” at the May | meeting, it was announced. The annual meeting of the Woman’s | Auxiliary will meet in Greenville j tdls.pril 28 and 29. Competition Is Keen For 4-H Judging Team!

Tidewater Field Station, Holland, Virginia, reports: “Growers who treated their 1953 peanut soil realized a net return of $7.09 for every dollar spent in treatment; By controlling southern com rootworms, increased yields of 5 to 7 bags per acre were obtained in the counties surveyed. “Equally important, though, was the improvement in the quality of the peanuts from treated soil. 3,250 acres in Nansemond county alone showed a 25% yield increase and an increase in quality of from 2 1 to 3)f per pound, or approximately $40,000 for the comity.” Although these results were obtained in heavy soil, treatment of light soils promises to pay for itself many times over too. Aldrin is by far the most popular soil insecticide on peanuts.
