Lack OF Quorum
Stalls RaWsOn
Council Meeting

The wheels of Rawson's municipal
government came to a standstili at
the first meeting of the new year
Monday evening when it developed
that there were not enough of the
newly elected councilman to complete
a quorum. Those present took the
oath of office and Mayor Glen Crew
announced a special meeting of
Council for tonight, Thursday, to
complete reorganization.
At tonight's meeting it is expected
action will be taken to fill two
openings on council caused by the
refusal of two elected councilmen
to assume office. Percy Westall
will serve instead as a member of
the board of township trustees, and
Dow Wilson will be unable to serve
his term of office.
The three members of council who
were sworn in Monday night includ-
ed Miller Fink, Orville Peterson and
Ernest Zuercher. A fourth member,
John Haefele, was unable to attend.
Other elected officials sworn in by
Mayor Crew were Virgil Borkosky
and Earl Meyer, board of public af-
fairs members; Kenneth Rame, trea-
surer; and Helen Benner, clerk.
Mayor Crew was the first to take
the oath given by Percy Westall, who
acted as temporary chairman in the
absence of former Mayor Dick Eidt.
A third member of the board of
public affairs, Don Williamson, was
not present and will be sworn in
later.

the discussion in connection with con-
sideration of a proposal for an UNI
official vote on the matter made by
newly-elected councilmen Arden Bak-
er and Gerald Swank.
In the opinion of many residents of
the town no vote is necessary,
Councilman Delbert McGinnis told the
meeting. This group firmly believes
that results of the councilmanic cleo
ton definitely established the fact
that a majority of local voters favor
selling out all municipally-owned
electric power facilities, McGinnis
said.
Discussion of a town-wide vote had
come up in connection with council
Qualification of the various approach
es the new city fathers may use in
deciding whether to buy current
wholesale for distribution to local
patrons, or sell out all facilities.
An unofficial vote would provide
the earliest action providing council
With an indication as to how local
voters regard the matter, but there
are many weaknesses to such action,
among them the fact that no one
could be bound to such a course and
there might be slight voter participa-
ton, it was pointed out at the meet
ing.
Another approach to the problem
and which could provide an official
vote would be that adopted by the
outgoing council, before it learned no
business could be transacted which
would carry over into the term of the
new council.
Under this type action, the council
would vote to either sell out or buy
current wholesale. Then, opponents
10 action taken by the council could
through referendum petition request
l town-wide vote cn the matter.
Initiative petition action, a third
approach to the question, would be
slower than either of the two above
nentioned procedures, because under
such a program the matter would not
come before the towns voters until
next falls general election, it was
explained.
At the close of the new counclFs
first official brush with the highly
controversial question, little had cone
out of the discussion except the clarl-
ication of the various courses OF ac-
ion open to the body.

SpOrtSmen Renew
Winter Song Bird
Feeding Program
Free Grain Supply Re
plenished At News Office
After snowfall

With snow and ice blanketing the
ground for what may be d sustained
period, the Button Community
Sportsmen's club early this week re-
newed emphasis on its customary
winter feeding program for our
feathered friends.
Anticipating a rush to The News
Office BY bird lovers for renewal of
their supply Of free bird feed, Mas
ter Feed Mill representatives
promptly filled the grain container,
Tuesday.
Householders are asked to join the
program and establish bird feeding
stations in their neighborhoods, keep
ing them well supplied through the
winter with the free grain and sup
p~lementing it with table scraps, etc.
The winter feeding Of song birds
has been an established program in
Button for nearly a decade, with
the Sportsmen's club providing the
free grain.
Winter feeding Of birds, in addi-
ton to being a humanitarian pro-
gram, is beneficial in maintaining the
bird population and consequently is
n pest control measure.
Gilbert Montgomery, supervisor of
the feeding program, points out that
unless residents Of Bfuffton partici-
pate in feeding the birds i great
many viii starve before winters end.
