Chamber Seeks
Shot In Arm
For Membership
A revival of municipal incor
poration and a switch to evening
meetings were suggested as two
methods of artificial respiration
which might revive an apparent
ly-expiring Chamber of Com
merce. at last week's regular
meeting.
Carl Rasmussen's motion to
un-table the incorporation peti
tion died without a second, but
the second plan met with gen
eral approval of those members
present.
Upon the suggestion of L. C.
Stock, business men and mem
bers were asked to come to the
next meeting with feasible sug
gestions leading to the promo
tion of more business for the
town of Palmer.
It was further suggested that
a suitable program of highway
advertising, for both Palmer and
Wasilla. would assist in bringing
business to Palmer. A commit
tee made up of Mr. Rasmussen.
Russ Felzien and Bob Johns was
named to plan signs to be lo
cated along the highway leading
to Palmer.
In conjunction with this plan,
it was decided to study a pro
posal to erect signs on Palmer’s
principal streets. It was sug
gested that the Co-op board be
asked to meet and select names
for streets in the Co-op area,
prints.
The question of suitable Valley
pictures for forwarding to Wash
ington. D. C. offices again was
discussed. It was decided to ask
all members and all interested
local photographers to submit
prints at the July 20 meeting. A
first and second prize of $10 and
So will be awarded the two pic
tures selected as most repre
sentative.
