WHC HAS THE RIGHT
fif TECHNICAL???
A toot of members recently,circulated a pe
tition. to recall a Board -,’hich they rere in
strumental in electing by a method rhich
they later declared contrary to the By-Lars
of the Association. This sounds ridiculous,
but let us examine the situation. The chain
nan rho allored the meeting to nroceed as
it did signed the petition for recall of
that Board on the grounds that it "as not a
legal election—tv; o members rho re re so eag
er to close the nominations rfth only one
candidate on the ticket signed the same pe
tition and re understand helped to circulate
the seine. This mind you is for the recall
of a Board rhich they claim nor does hot
exist. ^
f en it ras nointed out to some of this
group th.at they rere violating the By-Lars
in the method used to call this special
recall meeting, the reply ras, ,rrThy be so
technical-" It does seem to matter just
rho has the right to be technical, ^e al
rays thought this ras a free country.
The inconsistency of the rhole thing points
to something else deeper than the argument
over the Board. !7e are not'too slo" ritted
to see through a fer things.
Ever since this Editor has edited this pap
er she has from tine to tine pointed out pit
falls-in vain, '"e have cone right on v;itt
the sane jealousies, the sane selfishness •
and hatreds.
As this veil night be the last tine-your ed
itor' has a chance to s-eak her mir.d,- she in
tends to speak her piece. There are a fetr
things that many of us resent and haye re
sented for several years, but top on this
list lies this constant dealing in person
alities.’ There seens to be none group in
our community vho reserves the right to
ir.alco up an unwritten ‘"Tho's Tho'?" in the
Ilatanuska Yalloy, This grapevine system
of putting everyone in a catago'ry has done
trenendous damage to nany upright and hones1
citizens; why can't new people coning into
the Valley be allowed to accept people at
face Value7 They are intelligent hunan be-'
ings and are capable of forming their ovn
opinions.
And folks-This "feudin' and fight in’" is
not only doing harm to individuals, but to
the whole- community. How can we e:<pe«t to
have the things we ’-'ant in this valley if
wa keep this up? Ve act worse than a bunch
of kids—for kids*can "feud and fight" ono
cor L EGG5 OVERNIGHT— THEN
?UT THEM IN CC CL CASE5
Precool cases, fillers £c flats thoroughly
ar.d pack your eggs snail end dora.
Putting warm eggs ,ip a case is just like put
ting then in a fireless cooker. "The animal
heat has little chance to escape and the eggs
lose freshness fast. Cooling then first in
a moist, cool place keeps eggs’FTGSK.
Spreading eggs out on a wire tray is the
quickest rdy to cool them. 2ggs" can he cool
ed properly in 3 hours on a wire tray, or 5
hours in a rrire basket: but .it takes 11
hours in a solid pail and 19 hours in'an
egg case. Cool your eggs quicicly. They’11
be PR I Si HP and they rill bring you more money
^•ay and be best of r>als the next rith no back
biting. TTe can't.
Hhy bring this up in regard to this meeting?
Just because it has a lot to do with the
trouble. ITo one would have protested had
the election gone the ray this group ranted
it to go. A lot of the trouble lies in per
sonal prejudice. However, it goes even deep
er than that and tonight's meeting rill un
doubtedly uncover that and perhaps a lot more
He hope it is all for the good of the Valley.
