In accordance with tentative plans
mentioned last week, the canning fac
tory committee and secretary of the
Askov Community club have circu-
lated petitions in all parts of the
community and asked various solicit
tors to call on their neighbors to Sc
cure answers to various questions
asked. 1t is hoped that all these pc
titions will be turned in this week so
that some definite action can be start
ed. The answers to the questions on
the petition will in no way obligate
the signers, but merely serves to
supply the committee with definite in
formation as to the sentiment in the
community for the project. If there
are enough who favor the factory and
indicate their willingness to become
shareholders, then an organization
meeting will be arranged for just as
as soon as practical and definite
plan of procedure will be decided
upon. In the meantime the solicitors
are urged to circulate their respec-
tive petitions and get them in to the
secretary.
