Here’s The Way
Your Money’s Spent
Until the Community Chest
drive closes on Nov. 20, the Valley
Frontiersman will carry a weekly
feature prepared by one of the
member agencies of Community
Chest. The purpose of these fea
tures is to show Valley residents
exactly how and where their con
tribution will be spent.
The following material was pre
pared by a member of the board of
directors of the Palmer Library.
The Palmer Public Library has
been given a piece of property on
which it hopes to erect its own
building. It has recently announced
a building fund campaign to fi
nance the project. This campaign
takes the form of food sales held
the first Saturday of each month at
the Trading Post.
In answer to the question of
whether such a drive by a member
agency is contrary to the Commu
nity Chest purposes ,the answer is
that the Chest does not include
building funds or equipment (such
for extraordinary equipment such
as x-ray machines, trucks, etc.)
which usually is financed through
other means. The purpose of the
r
Chest is to raise money to make up
operating expenses of welfare
the difference between income and
agencies in the community, so that
these agencies will not have to go
from door to door—every month
seeking contributions to meet their
rent, utilities, salaries, supplies or
other operating expense.
The Chest is happy to endorse
the present project of the library,
which will result in increased ser
vice to the community.
The library membership at pres
ent numbers 165. Anybody is eligi
ble to join by paying one dollar for
a year's membership card, which
gives him the privilege of taking
books home. Books on hand include
fiction, history, classics, whodunits,
philosophy, humor, science, child
ren's books, and others. Periodicals
have been cancelled for want of a
reading room.
The library’s board of directors
include Mrs. Earl Graves president;
Mrs. George Geiwitz vice-president
Mrs. Don Ingalls, secretary; Mrs.
F. R. Sims, treasurer. Trustees in
clude Rev. Victor Alfsen, Miss
Louise Kellogg and Harold Thuma.
The library is now temporarily
housed in King's Garage on Valley
Street.
