last praptprly meeting,o'1' the Associa
. tion as a whole shored much improvement
over previous reports. -This ras partic
ularly true of the Co-op Garage rhich
shored" one of the greatest improvements
of-all. ‘ . ~
The proposal .of a portion of the Dairy
men to split the Co-op in three separate
Co-ops vas tabled for another meeting so
that ail members would have time'to give
the matter careful consideration. This
is a necessary procedure under the By
laws b::' the Association. It ras,however,
pointed out that the plan rould hardly- bo
feasible undef- the present arrangement
where heating, refrigeration, storage and
etc. overlap to the extent"that they do
in the buildings concerned.

ly by members present and a few sugges
tions were offered. ■

FOR IflCGRPORATIOn OF
PfiLHlER
Increased interest in the Chamber of Com
merce activities is in evidence since
plans for the Incorporation of the tom of
Palmer ftave been under discussion. At the
last meeting November 5, twenty-six per
sons were present including guests.
During the business meeting Mr. Maze,chairr
man of the Incorporation Committee ..brought
up the proposition'of the new Fire licit
as proposed by Col, J.-1. Johnson and Ills
staff at the special meeting a week ago
A1 Hagen made ’a motion to accept the offer.
Much discussion followed as to whether the
Chamber should, take the-responsibility of
acceptance or leave it • to the 7tro Associ
ation. A1 Hagen pointed out that tc plans
as presented oy Col.Johnson had i much lar
ger Scope than, just xhe.-.J.va Fall and there
fore, the Chamber of Commerce vac hie log
ical organimat-on to handle the matter. As
Col, Johnson end members o' his parry hjd
pointed out the. 1ccation of the .Ti-h Hell
which would also .>cjv,sg the train, cr.-.v for
the Rail Hue, would bo located in tha most
convenient sitc, but this plan mist conform
with'Vians for the grcwch of Palmer,
*
Some of the members tranced ’bo knoc, if this
meant that the Chamber find the land and
hire the Fire Chief. Mr. Haze explained
'that Col Johnson and the R.R. ^Sngineers
wapiti help'with the planning of the town
and wished to..know, our plane so that rail
road' expansion wovid tie on with thssn;
,r
A vote wad then'taken to write a letter of
appreciation and .thank Col J. P, Johnson
for his offer of help.
The problem of the Fire Chief was again,
raised for discussion with some feeling
that a part time chief who could have pome
other work in town would be sufficient.
Axle Martin warned against a mow3 of this
kind pointing cut that ell tor often part
time jobs became stepping stones to seme
better pa-id job.
Jan Kbslosky spoke in favor of concentra
ting1 or the hall and letting the matter"of
the Chief rest with the lire iijra-tnent.
Mr. Maze also .spoke n of -,nia plan.
