Library Begins
Building Campaign
Wilh Food Sales
With a lot supplied and the goal
of a new building before it, the
Palmer Library Association last
week formulated plans for financ
ing that building. As the first step
toward a building cornerstone, it
was decided to sponsor monthly
food sales. Therefore, on the first
Saturday of each month, the as
sociation will hold a sale at the
Trading Post, beginning at 11 a.m.
Mrs. E. F. Graves of the associ
ation explained that the need for
a building fund is urgent. "We
have been a sort of step-child to
the Co-op and to King’s Garage,’’
she said. “We feel that the sooner
we are under our own roof, in a
permanent location, the better it
will be for the library and for
the people it serves.
"The funds we obtain each year
from the Territory, and from our
membership, are barely enough to
support our running expenses.
They leave nothing to put toward
a building fund. We have done our
best to keep from asking the com
munity for money. We have fire
insurance to meet each January;
we have an electric bill each
month: we have rebinding bills
and book bills to pay. We must
buy new books or we defeat the
purpose of the library."
Mrs. Graves concluded her state
ment with a direct appeal to mem
bers of the Library Association for
contributions to the monthly food
sales.

Chamber Members
Stay Away
By The Dozens
Nothing more constructive than
casual conversation and the busi
ness of luncheon occupied mem
bers of the Valley Chamber of
Commerce at last week’s regular
Wednesday meeting. Six members
and a guest, Mrs. Rose Tolins, sat
down at the luncheon table to
gether.
Since lack of a quorum prevent
ed definite planning, or even a
proper business meeting, no dis
cussion of a future program was
conducted. Several items of Cham
ber business will be brought be
fore the membership, as soon as a
group large enough to form a quo
rum can be brought together at
some future luncheon meeting.
The next Chamber of Commerce
meeting will be held at noon next
Wednesday. Luncheon is served in
the former library at the Rec Hall.
