Men from all parts of the LARGE NUMBER EXPECTED AT CHAMBER MEET - A large number of business and professional men arc planning to attend the monthly dinner meeting of Massena Chamber of Commerce this evening. The affair will begin at 6:30 o'clock in American Legion rooms. Under the heading ot old busi- ness, two important topics are ex- pected to be brought up, that of the new hospital for Mjassena and the placing of a number of Mas- sena direction signs at the vari- ous crossroads in Northern New York. At the last meeting of the or- ganization in November, Dr. C. F. Priarie, head of the hospital com- mittee, made his report that 600 names had been signed by tax- payers on petitions for a new hos- pital for Massena; He said that as a meeting between the Chamber of Commerce committee and the town board, the board said it would not consider construction of a hospital with PWA funds, as had been the suggestion of the Chamber group, unless 200 taxpayers had signed their names to petitions in favor of it. Dr. Prairie said that he was more than'satisfied with the re- sults of the circulation of petitions. After the Chamber meeting, the topic of the new hospital was brought before the town board again and that group said it would prepare a project to send to PWA for approval. Members of the Chamber will be anxious to hear what progress has Association's Policy Prompted Meeting on Home Rule, Mayor Says Mayor R. A. Newton said today that a movement sponsored by the Mayors' Conference of which Massena is a member was the reason for the special meeting on what he terms as the home mlc proposition. The Mayer made a statement today concerning the meeting wnicli has caused much comment in Massena during the past several weeks. PUBLIC RINKS ADVOCATED FOR WATER COMPANY Free skating rinks for the smal- ler children in the winter, safe places for them to swim in the summer, would be a good use for the surplus funds in the water de- partment. That is the contention of Mrs. Ethel M. Thomas, president of the Democratic Senior Women's Club of Massena. Mrs. ThOmas points out that skating is popular in Massena but it is not possible for a great many of the smaller children to skate on the two rinks where ad- mission is charged. These children are forced to play in the street, to , . , A , ... skate wherever ice has formed been made by the committee ap- over a pu ddle. C. W.

L CHASE GETS POSITION WITH BIG LAW FIRM pointed to see about a number of Massena direction signs being placed at various crossroads in Northern New York. Many local residents have complained that there are very few signs in other sections of the North Country showing the way to Massena, It was pointed out at the November meeting that the signs may be ob- tained from the state free of charge. Since tonight's meeting will be the first in two months, it is ex- pected that many new topics .will be brought up for discussion. Abe Cohen is chairman of the fticket committee.

For your understand- ing, I will quote the wording of that provision: ,'A new constitu- tional provision prohibits the legislature passing any law requir- ing a city or village to operate a municipal electric, gas or water service at cost and permits the earnings of such- a municipal system to be used to reduce taxa- tion on real estate.' \The reason for calling the spe- cial meeting was this. On Thurs day morning, I called Assembly- man Warren Daniels, asking him if he-would support the above measure. He suggested that I call a special meeting of our board and Lester H.

Squires comprise the Massena committee in charge of promotion of butter sales. They visited the stores and distributed the literature and window cards put out by the Farm and Home Bureau, Mr. White spoke at the Monday Luncheon Club and Lions Club meetings yesterday in behalf of the campaign. A huge surplus of butter is on hand throughout the nation. This must be reduced within the next two or three months before the normally heavy butter producing season begins, or it will have a serious effect on the price paid for milk. Farmers arc being especially urged to use butter rather than substitutes.
