School at a J The Lowvilie Farmers Coopera- tive, Inc. will open a new farm supply store on January ,22nd. The building which was pur- chaser by the cooperative 2 years ago, was known as the Dekin bl- ock. The building was partially de- stroyed by fire last March and thus plans for remodling were hastened. The first floor including the store and offices has been finished in knotty pine through- out. The finishing and painting were done by Gordon Schrog and Azor Kennell, while the construc- tion was performed by Rich Bros.,' local contractors: The increased demand for farm supplies and the small space' al- lowed for such materials in the mill quarters necessitated the use of this supplementary .building. The second floor will be used for storage. A conveyor has been installed to elevate materials to the-second'floor of the 68 by 70 foot building. Manager, Floyd Loson, tells us that patrons are invited to visit the new quartere on January 22nd. Plans are to serve pancakes and coffee throughout the day and favors for the men, women, and. children will be offered. In addi- tion; door prizes will be awarded every hour on the hour.. Field specialists from the G.L.F. will b'e present to discuss use of materials and agricultural meth- ods. The following directors invite you to attend the opening: Presi- dent, Louis Archer, Clarence Boll- ivar, Harold Boshart, Charles Gor- recent meeting.

Kiwanis Votes Against State-owned TV The Kiwanis Club of Lowvilie went on record at their meeting Tuesday evening as being \unfav-. orable\ toward the proposal that New York State construct and maintain a television network for the exclusive use of educa- tion. A committee headed' by Harold Jacques investigated the proposition from every available source in the past three weeks and found that while the worth j of such a plan can not be ques- tioned, the money that must be expended to go into such a pro- ject might, do more good in cor- recting .and improving the pres- ent educational system. The Ki- wanians' concensus indicated that they felt that, private enterprise could provide as far reaching an educational program, as could the state going into the business. Following a dinner at the Hotel Bateman the Kiwanians' presi- dent Victor Kaufmann remark- ed^on the. historic significance of the day and called on Rev. Roger Williams,, guest clergyman, to of- fer a prayer seeking guidance and strength on inauguration day. Charles Turner led the program which was an open forum on the basic premises of Kisvanis Inter- national and the objectives to which the organization- will aim in the coming year, its theme be- ing \Freedom Our Sacred Trust\. Leonard Harris, announced that there will be a paper drive on Sunday and urged that the people of Lowvilie leave their waste pa- per by the side of the street tied up so Kiwanians can collect it. All Kiwanians were asked to par- ticipate in the drive Sunday af- ternoon'.
