FUBC Group Favors Local Gas Ownership A resolution favoring municipal ownership of a natural gas distribution system in this area was passed unanimously at a meeting of the Chilliwack local of the Farmers' Union of B.C. here Monday night.

The action was taken after Reeve W. T. Richardson spoke and M. V. Kournossoff urged that it be distributed here municipally.

George Cruickshank, district agriculturist, was present at the meeting and assured the membership his department was ready to co-operate with them at all times. J. J. King gave an account of the recent trip to the Peace River area and outlined arrangements for bringing feed grain here. Farmers were so keen on the project that the first trial shipment was all spoken for and had to be allotted in small quantities.

J. Berg and Mrs. Jinkerson, Chilliwack. Six visitors from the Agassiz local were present at the meeting and were welcomed by Mr. Kournossoff, who congratulated them on the success being attained by their organization.

Mr. Kournossoff said if it had not been for the phenominal growth of the Agassiz local, the Chilliwack group would not have expanded as it did. The friendly rivalry which existed between the two communities was such that the Agassiz local's growth had provided an inspiration to the union here to seek additional members. New members joining the Chilliwack local at this meeting brought the total to well over 150. Pelly Rites Held Here Saturday Funeral service was held Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
