Members Say Thursday
Meeting To Be Held
(Continued from page 1)
They agree that normally
meetings are called by order of
the president of the board. How
ever they maintain, since they
charge the election was illegal,
that there is no board of direc
tors and that the April 29th meet
ing is a meeting of stockholders
only.
At that time a chairman and a
secretary will be elected from
the floor, so that business may
be conducted in an orderly fash
ion.
A spokesman for the com
plaining group further declared
that the group’s position is un
assailable, since an amendment
to the by-laws requires that elec
tion of officers be held by secret
ballot. The board in question was
elected by acclamation.
They furthermore protest the
reference to an anonymous no
tice, which board members have
dubbed their notice of special
meeting. By-laws do not require,
they say, that the names ot peti
tion signers be typed on the no
tice of meeting. The signed
original petition has been re
tained by leaders of the com
plaining group ana win oe pre
sented at the April 29 meeting.
The spokesman for the peti
tioning group emphasized the
importance of the April 29 meet
ing, which “absolutely will be
held as scheduled,” he said. He
urged all Co-op members to be
in attendance.
Seniors, Eighth Grade
Prepare For Graduation
(Continued from page 1)
32 eighth grade students will be
graduated this year, providing
pupils complete the remainder
of the year's work and pass ter
ritorial examinations.
Mr. Dickson said no date had
been fixed for eighth grade grad
uation ceremonies. However,
they probably will occur at a
scheduled assembly sometime in
May, when parents and friends
will be invited to attend.
These are the students Mr.
Dickson named as Palmer grade
school graduates this year:
James Caulkins, Larry Cox,

Costner Is Selected
As Grower*s Agent
(Continued from Page 1)
plan are still to be worked out.
Valley growers agree, through
the Valley producers, to grade
and pack their own produce,
which is to be subject to the in
spection of representatives of the
marketing agent. If there is no
immediate market for the pro
duce, the grower must store it
himself.
They further agree to deal
only with Mr. Castner as their
sole marketing agent. However,
specific exceptions to this stipu
lation may be worked out with
the agent before individual con
tracts are signed.
Growers also agree, that if
there is a surfeit of produce for
which there is no market, that
produce will be left in the field
rather than harvested and
pack d and then allowed to spoil.
A field man will be appoint
ed to help co-ordinate the work
of growers and marketing
agent. In addition, a liason
committee will be appointed
from the membership of the
Valley Producers to make cer
tain that each member is being
treated fairly.
Mr. Woods said that the board
of directors of the Matanuska
Valley Farmers’ Cooperating As
sociation had been asked to -$ix
a figure for the lease of produce
storage facilities. No action has
yet been taken by the board, but
Mr. Woods said he considered it
likely that the Valley Producgrs
would be able to lease the
MVFCA’s potato storage facili
ties.
In explaining the organization
of the Valley Producers, Mr.
Woods said it had not been pos
sible to incorporate under busi
ness laws and still maintain a
democratic procedure. Therefore
the Producers are incorporated
under co-operative laws as a non
profit organization. Each mem
ber is entitled to one vote ars6
holds one share of common stock.
Each voting member must be a
grower, but associate member
ships are open to non-growers.
Growing quotas were tallied
and balanced at the Saturday
meeting, in order that any one
crop would not be over-sub
scribed, in view of existing n;#ir
kets. In the case of over-sub
scription for a crop, each grower
was cut back an equal percent
age.
Rototiller in Operation

The new BototUIer farm machine, produced by Graham-Paige
Motors in the giant Willow Run plant, prepares soil for planting in a
single operation, making unnecessary the three operations of plow,
disk and harrow. The five-horsepower tillage unit, which churns and
crumbles the soil to a depth of nine inches, lias attachments which
adapt it to a score of other farm tasks such as bulldozing, seeding,
mowing, snowplowing and other operations.
