kIWANlS CANCELS
ST MINSTREL SHOW

Because of unavoidable circum-
stances the Palmer Kiwanis Club
has had to CANCEL all plans for
a minstrel show this year, it was
announced this week by Rosco
Taylor, show chairman. Several
reasons combined to make the
decision necessary, Taylor said,
including a number of activities
throughout the community which
would limit the time and avail
ability of show workers.
We certainly do hope to resume
the minstrel shows again next
year and as an incentive the Pal
mer Kiwanis Club is offering a
prize of $50 for the best minstrel
show script delivered to the club
before November ! of this year.
A standing minstrel show COM
mittee was named and includes
Jim Wilson, Charles Logsdon,
Marvin Slaughter and George
Crowthers.
The Kiwanians extended their
thanks and appreciation to all
who offered their assistance fo1
this years show and extend an
invitation to participate in future
Kiwanis shows.

WITHDRAWAL WILL
GO INTO Effect
IN MARCH, 1858

The Presbyterian Board of Ma
tional Missions gave notice at the
meeting Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Valley Hospital Asso-
citation March Is to terminate the
present contract with the Asso-
citation for cooperation in the op-
Grafton of the Valley Presbyteri-
an Hospital in Palmer a year
hence on March Is, 1853
The relationship between the
Mission Board and Association
began in June, 1850, on the invi-
tation of the Association. Since
that date the Board has contri-
buted approximately 1922, 900 to
the new hospital building, this
amount being protected by a
mortgage; has made an annual
grant toward operating expenses;
given special gifts and sewing
supplies, and has assisted with the
securing Of personnel. The Board
has been represented by two of
eleven members on the hospital
rboard Of directors: the minister OF
the United Protestant Church in
Palmer and the assistant secre-
tary for work in Alaska, at pres
ent the Rev. Bertram Rutan and
the Rev. Brian Cleworth respec-
lively.
The reason for the church
boards decision to terminate the
contract was announced as the
result of the vote in the annual
meeting of the Valley Hospital
Association on February Is to
accept a contribution from the
Liquor Dealers Association which
would be raised by a rattle.
The Mission Board requested that
this contribution not be accepted
because Of the official stand on
liquor and gambling of the Pres
byterian Church which has Civ
en- the church benevolence funds
invested in the hospital. The vote
to accept by majority of five,
125 to 100, made it impossible for
the Board, as an agency of the
church, to continue the existing
relationship, it was announced,
and for this reason, the years no
tice was given as required by the
contract.
