The previous plan to form an all-subdivision commission to consider a police protection district was abandoned when the sheriff's committee voted not-to accept a squad car from Wottder Lake if it were manned by volunteer deputies. ' The purpose of this new allsubdivision board is to adiieve closer cooperation between the subdivisions in mattehs which involve the whole area; and to exchange know-how aiid information about the solution of mutual problems, from which all can profit. The lake re-stocking program, the squad car, and by-laws came up for discussion et the meeting Thursday night.

They also decided to take action to get driequate RR warnings at the unprotected grade crossings of the C&NW and the McCullom Lake road and at Ringwopd. The election of ofticers is slated f6r the next meeting which will be attended by official delegates. In order to initiate the organization of the board, the presidents of all the subdivisions met to consider the need for an advisory board.
