Abby Theatre entered; $20 in cash taken The Abby Theatre here was entered some time Saturday night or early Sunday morning, and $20 in cash was taken. The burglar entered the building through a rear door after breaking an upper panel to reach the inside lock. County Offi cer William Nelson and Sheriff Frank Dobes are investigating.
The loss was discovered when Robert and Floyd Hodd came in to the theatre Sunday morning for routine cleaning.
Tax rate for 1952 lower The village board adopted the proposed budget of $28,500, the same as last year, and will raise the sum of $15,000 by local taxation. For Clark County, the rate of taxation is .0448498; and for Marathon County, .0427693. Both rates are lower that last year as the Clark County rate was $49 per thousand and Marathon County’s $46 per thousand.
However, since assessed valuation of real estate was raised ten percent, most people will pay slightly more taxes this year.
Taxes are not payable until Jan. 2, 1952, when A.J. Shmirler, village treasurer, will accept tax payments at his barber shop on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursday of each week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Abbotsford schools will have two weeks vacation Christmas vacation for the Abbotsford schools will be from Friday afternoon, Dec. 22, to Monday, Jan. 7.

Colby will hold prom at Sword this year The Colby School Board agreed this week to allow the junior class to hold its 1982 Prom at the Sword instead of in the high school gym as in past years.
The board unanimously approved the request of class officers and advisors after reading a detailed letter from the group and talking with class representatives at the Monday board meeting. There are several advantages to having the Prom at the Sword, according to the letter. Junior Class Vice President Dave Bungaard and advisors Kay Weis and Pat Thies elaborated on some of them Monday.
One is expense. The group felt that one of the reasons interest in going to the function is declining is the expense of going out to a restaurant before or after the dance. The plan put forward included a catered dinner at the Sword for an estimated $12 per couple. Admission would be $4 per couple.
Having the dinner and dance in the same place would also make it more convenient for those attending. Another big plus is the atmosphere. Last year the class spent over $500 decorating the gym in an attempt to make like someplace else. Bundgaard said only about $100 would be spent on decorations if the event was held at the Sword, since the atmosphere there is appropriate as is.
There seems to be support for the idea. Bungaard said the class sent out survey cards to parents. Of 50 cards returned, 48 were in favor of the idea.
