Toastmasters Talk But
Neither Pay Nor Work
Most recent of Valley organiza
tions to spring up, and only a
quasi-official one, is the Toast
masters, which meets for fun and
self-improvement twice each
month. “It’s the best organiza
tion in the Valley to belong
to,” one of its members boasted.
“There're no dues and nothing
to do.”
The purpose of this unofficial
group, with no membership list,
is merely a desire for self-im
provement, in 'public spegking on
the part of those who attend.
Members also are familiarizing
I themselves with parliamentary
procedure and practice. Each
person who attends one of the
twice-monthly dinners, held at
the Rec Hall, must give a short
address on a supplied topic. Fel
low Toastmasters offer group
criticism and suggestions for bet
terment at the conclusion of the
address.
Officers of the Toastmasters in
clude Thomas Day, president;
William Rempel, vice-president,
and Charles Wilson, secretary.
The group meets on the second
and fourth Wednesdays of each
month at the dinner hour.
It was stressed that the organi
; zation, as yet, is unaffiliated with
the national group known as
Toastmasters. It is possible that
they may become a chapter of the
national group at a later date, a
spokesman said yesterday.

Chandler Committee
Te Query Cities
On Inner Problems
Assignments for a series of
question and answer letters and
visits were passed out at last Fri
day evening’s meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce incor

should be queried on the follow
ing points:

city;
(2) Length of streets and side
walks maintained by the city;
(3) Water and sewer system
ownership, and charges for wa
ter rental;
(4) How were the water and
sewer systems originally obtain
ed by the city;
(5) City population and popu
lation of the surrounding trading
area;
(6) Relation of the present size
and population of the city to its
size and population at the time of
incorporation;
(7) Status of the city (type of
incorporation);
(8) Percentage of license tax
refunds returned to city, broken
down by type;
(9) Other revenue sources for
the city.
For purposes of comparison,
some committee members were
assigned the job of finding the
assessed valuation of the propos
ed city of Palmer( according to
tax roll figures of the incorpor
ated school district), the estimat
ed value of Palmer’s present sew
