The Mayor, as well as Councilmembers Makowske, Ranallo, and Marks, 2 reported the above impression of the September 20th tour sponsored and 3 paid for by the St. Anthony Chamber of Commerce and conducted by 4 Margo Ashmore, co-editor of the Northeaster. The tour also prompted 5 the following suggestions to: 6 *have similar tours for new residents during which booklets 7 containing the historical comments made by Mrs. Ashmore during the 8 Chamber tour and which she is publishing in weekly articles in the 9 Northeaster, could be given to the tour participatns to show them the 10 quality of the community they're moving into; 11 *give the informaiton to the City's Historical Committee to supplement 12 the research they are developing; 13 *contact City businesses for contributions to fund the costs of 14 printing the booklets and other committee expenses. 15 Councilmember Ranallo said he had been quite surprised to learn that 16 during the period when St. Anthony had been a part of the Northwest 17 Territory, the City's boundaries had extended all the way up to 18 Wisconsin.

He said 33 he had told them he perceived such a program would require more 34 commitment in both money and manpower than any small community could 35 ever give. The Chief said he had suggested the program might be 36 modified to supplement the program his department already has in place 37 for visiting St. Anthony schools and discussing drugs along with various 38 other issues with the students. 39 Councilmember Marks told Councilmember Makowske he had been present for 40 the same report on the D.A.R.E. program on which Chief Hickerson had 14
