The regular monthly meeting of
the Illinois Valley Chamber of
Commerce was held October 13th
at Todelope cafe. This was one of
the best meetings of the year. We
had as our guests for the evening
the faculty of the Kerby schools.
Principal speaker was L. C. Mof
fitt, county school superintendent.
Mr. Hagen, principal of Kerby Hi.,
Mr. Johpson, principal of Kerby
elementary, Mr. Henneberry, music
teacher, and Coaches Pope and
Peters. All were enthusiastic over
the fine group of local youngsters
and asked that we, the adults of
the Valley, get behind our children
and give them real support toward
a successful school year. Mr.
Moffitt reported that a new school
bus for Kerby had been delivered
and is now in use. He also stated
that additional land for the new
high school has been purchased ad
joining that already donated for
this purpose, making a total of 13
acres. He displayed the prelim
inary plans for the high school
building, and also the plans for
the school building to be construct
ed soon at O’Brien.
Garland Benge, advisor of the
senior class, announced they are
sponsoring a big school carnival
next Tuesday evening, October 26.
He urged all to attend and show
the kids that we are behind them.
Our next meeting, to be held
November 10, will be the most im
portant meeting the chamber has
ever had. At that time we will
receive our charter, designating
that we are now a member of the
C. of C. of U. S. A gala affair is
being planned, with Mrs. Valeria
Rauber as chairman. Tentative
plans for the evening include en
tertainment, dinner and dancing.
Watch for further details.
It was called to the attention of
the chamber that numerous viola
tions of the speed and safety laws
have been noted in connection with
our local school zone and school
busses. In the past, we have us
ually blamed these incidents on
out-of-state tourists, but these last
violations have definitely been by
local people. It was decided to
send a strong letter to the State
Police, asking for a patrol car
to be assigned to this Valley to re
mind the people that the laws must
be obeyed. All of us should re
member that it is much better to
lose a few seconds rather than en
danger the lives and safety of our
children.
Remember, money spent in the
Valley makes the Valley grow.
