C of C Board Recommends
Many By-Law Changes
(Continued from page 1)
apppointment of a correspond
ing secretary, who will be placed
on a small annual salary. That
} secretary will be responsible for
[ the handling of all Chamber cor
j respondence. Correspondence
now often necessitates answers
to 50 to 60 letters monthly, and
the board felt that duty too
heavy to be carried by one sec
|retary.
The present office of secre
tary-treasurer will be retained,
and the office of second vice
president will be created, under
Tuesday’s outlined plans. Since
, ! the corrresponding secretary
| will receive a salary, that pos
ition shall not be considered an
. j office in the Chamber.
The matter of dues and fees
received close scrutiny on the
part of board members. It was
i decided to recommend the in
crease of Chamber dues to $12
annually, with the increase tc
be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1948
Hereafter all new members will
pay a $5 membership fee, in ad
dition to dues. After Feb. 1 oi
. each year, dues will be pro-rated
’ at the rate of $2 a month.
It was ruled that members
shall be notified by the secre
tary of their delinquency, if dues
I are not paid within 30 days after
they are due. Any member whc
. does not pay within 10 days
’ after that written notice may be
( dropped by resolution of the ex
ecutive board. He may be re
[ instated upon payment of his
, dues, plus the $5 membership
fee.
Absenteeism on the part oi
members of the executive board
also will be penalized, it was
ruled. Any member of the ex
ecutive board, either an officer
or a director, will be dropped
1 from his position if he fails tc
. attend three consecutive and
; regularly scheduled board meet
ings, unless he has notified an
other member of the board tha1
he will not be present. Vacancies
on the board may be filled by
election of remaining board
’ members.
Appointment of standing com
mittees, names of which will be
written into the by-laws, was
generally discussed at Tuesday’s
meeting. President Jack Maze
named tentative heads of com
mittees. His selections will b(
brought before a regular meet
ing of the Chamber membership
for approval.
Committees deemed necessarj
to carry on the work of th<
Chamber included:
Public relations, publicity
membership, finance, industry
agriculture, recreation, roadi
and trails and legislation. Th<
list still is incomplete, Mr. Maz<
said. He will welcome sugges
tions for other standing com
mittee needs.
School Gets Formal Dress
WAS1LLA—Frills and furbe
lows for finer functioning schoo
machinery are being installed a
the local schoolhouse. New ad
ditions to the plant include doos
closers, ventilators, fire hose anc
other fire-fighting equipment, ac
cording to superintendent Jame:
Pendleton.
New Appointments Made
At Experiment Farm *
(Continued from page 1)
bring people up here if we don’t
have a place to put them. Added \,
quarters are badly needed at all
of our stations.” *
The department at present is
seeking a man for the position of
agricultural engineer and three
men for positions on a soils com
mittee. These men will be en
gaged in making a survey, analy
sis and classification of soils.
A plant pathologist also is be
ing sought. His specific job at
first will be to work in the Mata
nuska and Tanana Valleys on po
tato ring-rot. However he’ll have
additional, long-term jobs in the
study of other plant diseases.
Mr. Irwin explained that the
diseases are here now, but are
not particularly prevalent be
cause areas of cultivation are
still widely scattered.
He said it was the hope of
Alaskan agriculturists that a full
time plant pathologist, beginning
his work immediately, might be
able to do much to “head off”
plant diseases before they are
firmly entrenched in Alaskan,
gardens.

Plane Tickets
Tickets on the Aeronca Chief,
plane to be given away next Me
morial Day by the city of Valdez,

bership of the American Legion
and the Legion Auxiliary in the
Valley, it was announced this

charter organizations of Valdez

will replace the Valdez hospital.
That institution was destroyed
by fire just a year ago.
A series of free flight instruc^
tions also a part of the bonanza
which goes to the winner of the

will be given $2,500 in cash
rather than the plane.
School Will Get
New Flagpole
i There’ll be a brand new flag
pole standing in front of Palmer
i school, when classes convene
again next September, superin-*
r tendent Carl Snelling announced
i this week. One item covered in
the new budget is an appropria
, tion for the pole.
, The weathered pole which
; stood before the building until
! recently was taken down during
‘ the Christmas holiday. The pole
■ was split and in danger of top
■ pling in a high wind.
WASILLA—An over-exuber
ant and outsize canine pet last
week sentenced Ray Bergman to
' crutches for a lengthy stretch.
Mr. Bergman, on his way home
- up an icy hill, was so fondly
' greeted by his dog that he lost ^
his footing and fell. He landed
L on one knee and cracked the
1 bones of the kneecap, necessi
1 tating a cast and crutches for
some time.
