Bob Lynd declared that incorporation overlooked the human angle. He explained by pointing to the hard work of the volunteer firemen since it was organized. He claimed that the firemen would resent not. being paid if all other civic officials were. Frank Berry mentioned that Parkland is a community of homes and small businesses. The chief industry is education, which is not taxable. Other observations and queries flew thick and fast for half an hour, after which the friends and foes of incorporation called a truce and retired to the basement for coffee and doughnuts. The Business Club staged the forum to bring out information, and hasn't gone on record as either favoring or opposing incorporation. The four speakers were not necessarily voicing their own opinions, but were upholding the sides which had been assigned to them.
