Cecil County Community Council
March Meeting Held At Calvert---Farmers Day,
County Tour, County Show and Other
Live Topics Discussed

SELL AEuCh 1OuLSS are dUuuQduL
around Philadelphia, many of them
over tapping. Eventually there will
be some system worked out to cut
out the extra cost which such
| duplication involves.
Electrification is another subject
the Dairy Council has had an I'm
terest in and has secured Legislation
in Pennsylvania to require public
service lines to be built to farms IL
three within mile from the last
station request it.
After, this most interesting ad-
| dress several questions were asked
and then our speaker was given
hearty vote of thanks.
Business was then taken up start
ing with the reading of the minutes
of last meeting, which were APP
| proved as read. This being the
time for the election of new officers
the secretary was asked to cast the
ballot for the reelection, of the
present officers as nominated at last
meeting. This was done and the
same officers are reappointed for the
coming year.
The three topics to claim our at
tention and which seem to be an
excuse for our continuing to exist as
an organization were Farmers Day,
County Tour and County Shows.
It was decided to hold the first of
these at Port Deposit on August 7th,
hoping to make it greater success
! than ever before. The President
/. was asked to confer with the
| County Agents and appoint the
Committees necessary. Suggestion
was made that we have fewer
speakers and a longer noon hour for
sociability. Also that we have COM
munity singing under a good leader
rather than an orchestra.
No special action was taken to-
ward planning the County Tour.
This is generally mostly planned by
our County Agents and they will be
very glad to arrange for one if it
| is desired The June meeting will
be time enough to discuss it more
thoroughly.
A County Show was next talked
of but as there were SO few repre-
sentatives present it did not seem as
if we could make any plans. II a
| County Show is wanted it must be
supported, and with that thought in
mind it was decided to ask the
different communities thru their or
CARNATIONS to find out just how
much support can be expected II
show is held. At the June meeting
1t will be decided according to the
reports from the local communities.
So if you want a show speak up.
There was a feeling expressed at
the meeting that the Sesqui in Phila-
delphia would possibly attract SO
many from our county that they
would not care to attempt a small
show this year, and that we had
| better not have any than go at 1t
half heartedly.
The president next gave a very
brief report of the state meeting
held in Baltimore, which he and his
wife attended. AS Mrs. Melbourne
did not attended as appointed, it
was decided to pay the expense or
Mr.. and Mrs. Balderston. Some
other members were down for at
least part of the time.
Mr.. Bartelson and Miss Grimm
gave a few announcements OF short
courses being arranged and asked
our cooperation in making them
successful. Miss Grimm also an
nounced the organization OF
Womens Club at Aiken.
There being no other business the
meeting adjourned to meet again in
June.
BERTHA BALDERsTON.
Secretary
