 Report on the ski tow situation was given the club members at the Grade School meeting by Proxy Stewart. Though no definite word has been received as to whether the Club is to get the large tow. pur- chase of which is contemplated from Army surplus, it was declared that there's an excellent chance of coming up with it, particularly as govern ment agencies are unlikely to be in- terested. It is now about to be of fered to government groups.
 The subject of charges for the small tow now in top running or der on the Second Meadow was toss ed about, with daily rates and ride coupons given consideration. Vice President Bill Hixson presented his view that the present tow should be operated at sufficient charge to de- fray depreciation and to pay out the cost of the new and larger tow. The Executive Board of the club was au- thorized to set rate scales with special lower fees for juniors.
 A program of ski instruction was outlined whereby President Stewart should conduct beginners classes and Dean Williams hold sessions for more advanced skiers. Glasses are to be held on Sunday afternoon through the season. Proxy Stewart tossed bouquets to the U.s s. Forest Service for hehabilitating the Second and Upper Ski Cabins, which were vandalized during the summer months.
 1 Chairman Williams announced a program of small informal races to be conducted by the Tournament committee, planned from Sunday to Sunday and open to all. Simple courses would be mapped for be- ginners, with progressively harder runs offered. The Clubs regular an- nual tournament schedule is tenta- lively set to open toward the end of February or first part of March.
 The Social committee announced a slate of three main events: A major party of undisclossd nature the end of this month, a Monte Carlo party in February and the annual Ski Banquet for March, fol- lowing the tournaments, when trc- phies will be awarded.
