Incidentally, the treasurer would appreciate hearing from those of you who have not paid the $2.50 Wiation for the lightp. The most controversial aspect Of the evening was the endeavor to arrive at a satisfactory figure for dues of the coming year. The board recommended $18 -- to cover the increase in the scavenger service. The motion was made from the floor to make the dues $20 a year and to set aside the extra $2 for the road improvement fund. This will enable the treasury to have some money in the pot when Mr. Ladd leaves. The motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the election of three new board members., Those elected were Joan Krater, Ray Grote and Glen Uhles. It was suggested that the ladies of the organization have an auxiliary to raise funds for supplementing the pfasury. Those interested should 'call Mrs. Jean Gagnon, 510-R-2.

Ways To Kill Your Home Town Here are thirteen sure ways to ruin your home town. They were compiled by the Sedalia, Mo., Democrat.- It Is interesting to read them and see in how many ways we, as individuals, have been unknowingly helping to tear down, rather than build up, Mc- Henry. 1. Don't pay taxes. Let the other fellow pay his. Vote against taxes. Then fuss because the streets are not kept up. 2. Never attend any meetings called for the good of the town. If you do, don't have anything to say. Wait until you get outside and then cuss those who made the suggestions. Find fault with everything that was done. & Get all the city will give you and don't give it anything in return. Write unsigned letters to the, editor demanding more for your tax money. 4 Talk cooperation, but don't do any work for your city unless you get paid for it. - And by all meituis refuse to serve unless they make you chairman. 5. Never accept, an office. It's easier to criticize than to do things. Accuse anybody who serves in an elected office of being a publicity seeker, (or a crook). 6.

When others willingly and unselfishly give their time to make a town better, howl because that town is run by a clique. 7. Don't back your fire department or your police department. If the firemen work to bring the insurance rates down, tell everybody that is what they are supposed- to do. Don't thank them or the policemen for endangering their lives that you might have a safer town in which to live. Demand special treatment; raise cain if anybody expects you to obey traffic and parking laws. 8. Look at every proposition in a selfish way. If you are not the one who gets the most good but of it, vote against it. Never consider what it will do for the town as a whole. 9.• Don't do anything for the youth of the town. Criticize them as potential delinquents. Keep your feet on them.
