OF Frank Rowe Tuesday evening.
The meeting was called 10 order
by the chairman, Myron Schatten-
helm.
Under the direction OF the State

cussed. The general opinion was
that AAA should be limited in It's

ton should be at the disposal OF
OPA, WA and other governmental
agencies.
The subject OF fire protection In
the township came up for discus
sion. Supervisor Tooze was pres
emit and said that In order to take
any constructive action in the mat.
ter. It would be necessary TO petit
ton the town board for such pro-
lection. The board could not ex-
coed $4,000 for equipment.
Officers should have been elect
ed, but as the futile Hill grouh
was only recently organized, 1t was
decided to retain all officers fer
another year. Mrs. Ruth Smalley
was elected assistant recreation
leader and Mrs. Schattenhelm, cor
responding secretary.
Albert Amrhein Of the Southwest
Ypsilanti group was present and
asked that delegates be elected TO
attend the state annual meeting Ia
Lansing. Myron Schattenhelm was
elected delegate and Ralph Jane
son, alternate. AT the request OF
the county board, local groups will
vote on current issues in which
they feel the Farm Bureau should
have a voice.
This group voted 10 keep the 10
cent tax on oleomargarine and q
collection was taken for the club
mobile fund for soldiers, $50 be-
ing contributed. After the meet
ing adjourned, a cooperative lunch
was served by the hostess, Miss
