It seems to be getting mote
difficult each year to get
people to come out for club
meetings. Maybe it’s a change
of the times, I just don’t know.
I do know this, however, that
last Wednesday a North San-
tiam Chamber of Commerce
meeting had been slated. Not
even enough people turned
out for a quorum, and it was at
this meeirig that the nominat
ing committee was to present
their slate of officers. So what
happened? Nothing!
Chris King, who was chair
man of the committee did
name part of the list of of
ficers for the coming year.
There will be another meeting,
a general membership meeting
on Wednesday, July 7 at the
Riverview when it is hoped
there will be enough members
present to get the business at
hand taken care of. The com
mittee submitted the following
officers for .1971-72. They are,
Jerry Coffman, president; John
Kehls, vice president, and J. C.
Kimmel, secretary - treasurer,
with Hattie Golliet acting as
corresponding secretary. For
directors, those nominated to
date are Harold Wiltse, out-go
ing president, from Mehama;
Ed Davis for Mill City and
Jim Tedrow from Stayton. Still
to be nominated are men from
Gates, Idanha and Detroit.
Why not try to come out for
this next meeting, it is import
ant!
This Monday morning, as I
sit pounding out this column
I note by the calendar that it
is the first day of summer.
Hooray, and the sun is shining.
The weather report is not too
promising but at least we are
making a good start. The only
thing bad about the coming of
summer, is that now the days
will begin to shorten. It is a
slow process, but nevertheless
it is on the down side to
wards another fall and wint
er. Let’s hope that we do have
some nice days in between
before we have to dig out our
rain clothing again.

It is interesting to note that
our major timber operators in
this state are really doing some
thing about increasing the
growth of timber on their hold
ings. One firm which operates
in several states is making
capital investments of $248
