Valley Groups
Organize New
Cemetery Association
The new Palmer Cemetery As
sociation, made up of 27 Valley
organizations, held a meeting
Monday evening at Moose Hall.
Although only nine representa
tives of the organizations were
present, a discussion was held
concerning the high grass in the
cemetery. Members advanced the
possibility of some farmer cut- i
ting *he grass for hay. Anyone de-1
siring the grass is asked to con
tact William Bouwens, recently
elected association president.
Purpose of the new association,
is to clear-up and grade the area I
and institute perpetual care that:
will make the cemetery a beauty
spot and not the eye sore it is
today, members stated. With the ■
new fence and flag pole and the j
aid of organizations holding large |
areas, another year should see a
change in the appearance of the
cemetery, they added.
August 10 has been set as the
next meeting night and all mem
bers are asked to be in attendance
with additional ideas for beaut
ifyir.g the area.
The following organizations
were represented at the meeting:
St. Michael’s Catholic Church, :
William Bouwens; Moose Lodge, |
Ralph Moore; American Legion, <
Ray Lancaster: American Legion <
Auxiliary, Mary Steelman: Home- ;
makers, Mrs. Ed Johns; Seventh <

must be done in this area, Brown
stated, or in no time we will

best auxiliary fields in the Ter

which keep the field clear of
overcast and become of its stra
