Forty acres of the Stau-
dacher farm have been pur-
chased by the newly formed
Perkins Foundation for de-
velopment by industries and
businesses on a non-profit
basis, according to Burr Dod-
son, president of Perkins
Foundation.
The tract of land is one-half
mile west of Highway 177 on
Kipe Street.
Dodson said the primary goal
at this time is to raise $7,000
from the sale of stock to de-
velop this land.
"At the present time we have
sold about $4,000 in stock. We
need to sell another $3,000
worth of stock and are seeking
participation from as many lo-
cal people as possible," he said.
He added the Foundation ap-
preciates the support it has al-
ready received from the com-
munity.
"The foundation will have a
meeting this Monday evening
following the Lion's meeting and
some important announcements
will be made," Dodson said.
"The public Is invited to at-
tend."
The meeting will be held at
7:30 p.m. Monday in the Per-
kins Lion's Den.
"The Perkins Foundation is
made up of 15 area men era-
powered by its articles of in-
corporation to assist the bus-
iness community, industrial
community, their employees,
residents and all aspects of the
growth and betterment of the
community," Dodsen explained.
All the members of the found-
ation are graduates of an In-
dustrial Development Training
Course conducted by Oklahoma

presentative for e.G. & E., was
instrumental in arranging for

panies Industrial Department to
