Approximately 200 people jam
med the Maggie School auditorium
following the dinner to lake part
in the discussion.

nating a name for the valley faded
lo develop, however, as Ihe sub
ject was shunted aside by the pres
sure of other iiuslness.
Club spokesmen said Ihe mailer
had been postponed until a future

Indicating that local land prices
are too high, lie advised resident;
with property to sell to bring their
requests down to a lower level to
encourage more people to settle in
the valley.
In the discussion following his
address, one farmer answered that

thai under the circumstances a
mice that would look excessive to
a prospective buyer would be rea
