Plans to prepare a calendar to ad
vertise ” Mat anus ka Maid1' products,
net with approval. At the sugges
tion of the Board, Mr, Jacobs was
asked to^investigate further the
possibility to arrange radio adver
tising of Matanuska products.
A letter was road from Dr.H.M.Colvin
with regard to possibility of non
Cclonists having tho privilege of
with-drawing from the Coonerating
Association at their discretion.
Ee states that any non-Colonists who
are not indebted to the A.R.R.C. or
the Association night probably have
a clause inserted in their marketing
contracts which would cover the with
drawal feature. He suggests that a
clause be added to the contracts in
such cases reading that the contract
3 should be in effect "until the
day of _, IS_ and so long ‘
Zthereafter as tho producer shall be
indebted to the Association or ARRC.
He also states that such non-Colonis
producers should bo given privilege
of renewing his membership.
