The building of the farm workshop was decided to be out of the question until building materials were again available. Fencing costing up to $150.00 was approved. It was suggested that the land above Big Log be planted as a memorial to PMSS students who had served in the war. in May, 1946, a new tractor was purchased. During summer the dairy barn floors were cemented. New stanchions were installed, with individual drinking cups for each cow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
