And be sure they’re kept away from such
things as kerosene, onions, potatoes and
fruit for eggs absorb odors readily.
The hack porch or the kitchen is no place
to keen eggs. The cellar is probably the
best "lace, unless you have a cave. An
egg is two-thirds rater and the shell is
worous.- If eggs are left where it is hot
and dry, the air will draw moisture out
of them.
If they are kept where the air is cool and!
moist,,, your eggs will stay full and FFESK.
ON THIS PETlflON
The ooinr'laint and charges upon which the
petition printed on page 1 of this issue
for- the recall of all but one of the Foard
of Directors of the ’Tatanuska Valley Far
mers Cooperating Association are in brief:
Complaint *T">. 1 states that the six mem
bers were illegally Elected in violation
of Article VII, Section 6, in that they
were not elected by secret ballot. (The
word secret is not contained in Art. VII
Section &)
At the time of this election its legallity
was declared by the Chairsian of that meet
ing and as much as these six men were not
in authority (not having as yet been sworn
in) during the election, they can hardly
held responsible for this action.
Complaint No. 2 charge,s that a resolution
•as adopted requesting that the Board ask
!r. Melvin Allyn -and Mr. A. H. Havenan to
reconsider their resignations. According •
to the minutes as recorded by two stenog
raphers, no action was taken on this—and
5v'en if there had been, such action would
lave been illegal in that this was not on
the agenda of this special meeting. (By
the way Mr. Allyn always signed his name
A. Marvin Allyn)
Complaint Mo. 3 charges that R. Brock
was elected to the Eoard in violation of
the Amendment ro. 6 Art. Till Section 2 of
the By-Laws.
There are different opinions as to the in
terpretation of this Amendment,
Complaint No. 4 charges that the Board was
instructed to sell certain housing units and
other equipment, which they had not done.
This charge is sii-htly unfair in several
ways—but it will be recalled that this
action had no definite time limit—as a
natter of fact it was so stated that this
ras to be done when feasible and over a
long term program. Ref. Valley Settler,
Tol. 11 No. 4, pp, i, Col. 1.
In conclusion
the Petition strates:
lHBHZC", the folowing signed
-.embers of the :'AJATUSKA 'PJ.L”Y FAR.’MIS
COOPZRATTMG ASSOCIATION have hereunto set
their hands.”
Aside from the date and a.statement as to
other business that may come before this
special meeting—the rest of the page is
blank. There are no signs of anyone1a
"hands'1 being set. Therefore, a meeting
is being called by an anonymous m’ri*»n or
persons.
