MECHANICS OF PUBLICITY
PROGRAM, ETC.

In order to get the publicity pro-
gram going to bring home highway
facts to the people, those present de-
cided that Al Erickson, state adver-
Using director, should act as the con-
tact man between the Governors
committee and the press and radio.
Another suggestion was that eff
forts should be made in the next
legislature to secure permanent sta
tus for the Governors committee,
along with an appropriation, that the
committee can make a continuing
study of the states highway needs
from year to year.
On request from the "newshawks"
present, Schotte said every effort
would be made by the committee to
get proposed highway financing bills
in legislative form by October 1,
that widespread discussion could be
had by the voters with legislative
candidates before the November cleo
ton. In this connection, it was re-
vealed that all prospective legislators
will be contacted between now and
election time to "sell' them on the
merits of the proposals being drafted
by the Governors committee.

usual rating Of 100 for legitimate
maple syrup. The fake syrup was
SO poor. he said. that it could

The phony syrup was found on
roadside stands in the county,
but apparently had been pur-
chased by the stand operators in
good faith. Mr.. Metzger said. He
added no action was cnntem-

Minimum STANDARD
In Family Projects

The Montgomery County Rec
reation Board today will submit
q report to the County Council
supporting the development Of
private" community pools. with
minimum standards recon-
mended by the board.

ton Director Forest v. Gustaf-
son to provide assistance and
aid in planning to the self help
pool groups. The board also
urged him to coordinate the
community pool planning with

stressed that the community
pools while meeting the needs
among limited groups, can
never meet all the needs for
swimming facilities in the

and the recreation director have
a detailed plan for a public
swimming pool network ready to
be put into operation. The
board urged that the program be
set in motion by the county

To do this, the board said, it
recommended the use of current
tax income for the construction
of swimming pools for public use.
Plan for Family Pools.
The community pools are
planned for use by member FAM
lilies and their guests. A mem.
bership in such a pool associa~
ton costs about 500 plus Fed.
