SCS (Soil Conservation Service) Collection

January 27, 1961

USDA Soil Conservation Service employee Pat Scheibl smiles from her desk in the agency's State headquarters office in Palmer where she was employed as a clerk-typist. Office furniture in her corner workspace includes a typical government wooden desk with desktop florescent articulated lamp, a modern electric typewriter (barely visible behind her), a tabletop office machine (printer?) under an opaque plastic cover atop a small dark table at the photo's left, and a modern style padded guest chair partially visible at extreme left. On the wall above her desk at right is a large poster illustrating "How Grass Makes Food For Growth" and a large map of Alaska is partially visible high on the wall at left. Pat is a longtime resident of Palmer, having arrived in 1935 from Wisconsin with her Colonist family participating in the government's Matanuska Colony Relocation Project.
