Sonfo's Deputies Prepare for LocoI Kiddies' Party Dec. 24

The Valley merchants have been responding nobly to Santa Claus's call for help on his big party scheduled for December 24th for children of the Valley. He's asked all those who have not contributed and still wish to do so to contact Bill Head, this years treasurer, or Al Hagen.
 This annual affair sponsored by the Valley merchants has become big enterprise. To make up the $50 sacks of goodies needed for the party there will be 200 pounds of Christmas candy, 250 pounds of mixed nuts and pea nuts, six boxes of apples, and four crates of oranges.
 In addition to the goodies, the children will be treated to eight comedies, including Little Lulu, Donald Duck, and other favorites. And, of course, Santa Claus will be there.
 This years party will be re- stricted to children up to and in cluding the 9th grade in school. Parents are asked not to attend the two o'clock party. This is de- signed for the children and there is room only for them. At four o'clock and at six o'clock the en- tire show-except for Santa Claus will be duplicated for all oth- CTS who wish to attend. This is all FREE as part of the Valley merchants invitation to be their guest for the day.

22 DAIRYMEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
 RETURN OF S40,00

Responsibility of 2l local dairy men for the return of nearly S32,000 plus interest and court costs to the Coop was deter mined last Friday in judgment handed down by Judge Anthony Dimond in Third District Court.
 The decision was reached in long delayed hearing which was originally scheduled for Septem- Der 25. The 21 dairymen were asked to show cause why they should not be named technical parties to a suit brought against the Coop in September 1946 by C. R. Monaghan, formerly of the Valley.
 Judge Dimond's action Friday marks the end of long contro- versy over distribution of 1945 Coop profits. That year the dai- ry department was the only one to make a profit, and it was the dairymen's contention that their earnings should have been deter mined by dairy department in- come and not by the overall in- come from the entire Coop en- terprise. C. R. Monaghan pooled his own claims with those of q other dairymen and brought suit against the Coop in September, 1946. In a decision handed down January 14: 1948, Judge Dimond agreed with the dairymen and awarded them $31,904.84. The rmoney was obtained in March of 1948 and distributed among the g dairymen on the basis of their individual claims.
 That same month the Coop ap- pealed the Third Court decision. Last May, Judge Dimond's deci- sion was reversed in the San Francisco Court of Appeals, and restitution of the money plus interest and court costs was or dered. The question following the
