Offer to Pay Way of Teacher to Camp
The Soil Conservation District repeated its offer to pay Marion County teachers tuition to the Iowa Teachers Conservation Camp this summer. Chairman Philip Sommar said any county teacher may receive the aid. Ruth Ver Ploeg was a guest at the meeting and Delores Boat and Doreen Ward assisted Joan Farrer as hostesses.
