All youngsters who have

parents an opportunity to
both shoot and teach their
children to shoot.
The range itself is located

will be done by members of
the club and other volunteers.

idea of "Trade At Home."
A lengthy discussion took
place during the last chamber
meeting in regard to business
advertising to entice residents
of the area to trade at home.
A representative from a print
ing firm was present to ex
plain his various advertising
plans that he thought might
apply to the local need.
This plan will be consid
ered by the advertising com.
mittee, which is a group com
pletely separate from the

vertising sponsorship by the
Chamber a committee com-
posed of Sams Valley and
Gold Hill business people
was formed.

vertising committee are Nor
man Matteson and Mrs. Vir
ginia Plummer, of Clark J.
Walker agency. Others on
this committee are C. Nor
man Gail, Richard Abbott,
Wesley McDonough, Lloyd
Calkins, and Darrell Ross.
Business people who are in
terested in cooperative ad
vertising should contact this
group for further informa
tion. Mrs. Plummer slated that
she is having a sign installed
that will read "Welcome
Tourists." And she will pro
vide tourist information. She
asked that anyone who has
information that will help
travelers lo contact her.
Mrs. Plummer requested
that the chamber look into
the possibility of having the
city of Gold Hill lease the
Southern Pacific property
from Fourth St., to the bridge
and to have same developed
with rest rooms and trailer
space for tourists as a rest
area.
No action was taken by the
Chamber on this issue. It will
be on the agenda for discus
sion at next meeting.
