a five-man committee made up of
local men. This committee will at­
tend meetings held in the various
cities of this section, pertaining to
the new army camp. They will put
forth every effort in an attempt to
get first hand information oa the
project.
This committee will make recom­
mendations to the city council and
school board concerning action •£»
be taken when the various prob­
lems arise.
Dave Winn has been appointed
to represent the city council, Wil­
liam Autenrieth to represent the
school board, Norman Gail as rep­
resentative of the recently organiz­
ed Commercial club and Autenrieth
and R. G. Wigle to represent the
Gold Hill Grange. These four mem­
bers will select the fifth member
of their-committee.
At the regular meeting of the
Commercial club held Monday eve­
ning in John Chisholm’s office a
discussion was held on the canton­
ment. Many of the problems which
will arise here in Gold Hill were
discussed at this time.
