AGIIATE OPENING CREAMERY
smyrna Mems Forum Hears Talk of
Z. NJ. Rust on the Subject-More
Discussion Tomorrow Eveninp

SSuoSiou IO-ilOTTOW Evening
Esley NJ. Rust, Smyrna's well known
coal dealer, who at one time was in
the creamery bushes. addressed the
Mems Forum of Smyrna, Thursday
night on the question of a milk sta
tion for Smyrna Some months ago
the Smyrna creamery was shut down
and dairymen and farmers Of Smvrna
are now obliged to haul their milk
to the Clayton creamery. The Scott
Powell interests who controlled both
plants, shut the Smyrna one down to
save operation expenses. Smvrna
farmers, especially those residing east
of the Boulevard, objected to this
without avail. The Smyrna Chamber
Of Commerce recently took the matter
up with creamery officials and now the
Mems Forum have started up agita-
tlon to reopen the plant in Smyrna.
Mr. Rust, regarded a practical man,
outlined to the Forum a plan that he
believes could be made both profitable
to the creamery as we'll as to dairy
men. His remarks We're well receiv-
ed. Discussion on the subject will be
resumed at the Forum meeting to-
morrow, Thursday evening, in the
Smyrna Fire Hall and milk producers
are invited to attend and join in the
discussion. President w. w. Wright,
presided at the meeting. The Forum
went on record as endorsing the Pub
lie Rest Room movement in Smyrna
sponsored by the local post American
Legion.
