A report of the 1957 activities of the Chamber was reviewed. One of the main accomplishments of 1957 was that the Chamber was instrumental in having Highway 84 paved. A letter of condolence will be sent the bereaved family of the late Thames Pryde, MLA. A minute's silence was observed in his memory, At this meeting the Chamber was fortunate to have as its guest speaker, A. Eisenstadt, New York Oity, who is a business engineer, or in other words an efficiency expert. His talk was very in- teresting and informative, dealing with modern methods of carrying °on a business. To prosper in any business, whether it means the administration of a factory, store, farm, . or matters pertaining to the Community, "cohesion" must be had for its success. An inter- esting question and answer per- iod followed. Herb Turkheian, representing the ZURICH Citizens NEWS, out- lined briefly the program of the new weekly paper. . He also -ex- pressed his appreciation of the wonderful help the Chamber had been in organizing the project. "Without your help," Herb stat- ed, "This paper would never have been promoted as successfully as it has been." Concerning the new weekly newspaper, Mr, Eisenstadt said that he was very much interested in the way the Zurich people have come to the fore and shown their determination to have a weekly. Every place should have a paper, even though it be only the size of foolscap and hand printed, he said. Through the medium of the newspaper any place has a chance to prosper but without it, may and probably will slip back into obscurity. He wished to convey his congratulations to the people of Zurich on their initiative in making it possible for every home in the district to have and enjoy the weekly paper it now has at its disposal.

Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Solden to discuss "Producer Mar- keting." A marketing board will make more orderly marketing and a steady price the year around, and we think marketing boards will increase prices. The board will set a minimum price to cover the cost of production which farmers have not been getting on some commodities. The Forum thinks the board should have control of products, Co-operatives play a part in raising and stabilizing prices. Sev- eral co-operatives in this district pay regular prices on cream and eggs and at the end of the year pay a substantial dividend. The government should stand behind the marketing board and give them theautho.rity for enforce- ment. Progressive euchre was played after the discussion. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Weido, when it will be review night. 0 Personal Items Requested by Citizens News Did you have visitors during the past week?
