Warning
Some of the young boys in Abbotsford have been using the lights at the athletic field for targets for their air rifles, and at least one of the lights has been broken.
Parents of young riflemen are urgently requested to notify the children that this is an expensive pastime do everything possible to prevent such acts of vandalism.
The athletic field and the lights were put there for the benefit of the young people of this community, and they should have an interest in the welfare of the park and not destroy it. -Executive Committee Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Accordion lessons here

Water still top priority for Colby City Council
The Colby City Council made some moves at its regular May meeting for eventual upgrading of the city water system, but the group agreed the realization of that improvement is still a long way off.
Colby must have more water if it wants to attract more industry or to provide for expansion of existing firm, such as Packaging Corporation. The increased water supply will provide enough to satisfy requirements for sprinkler systems for plants above a certain size.
The first snag is still the most basic. Well drillers hired by the city have not found adequate water sources within city limits, and the search has expanded to out-of-town areas. It had not progressed very far as of the May 5 meeting because the ground had simply been too wet following a week of rain to send drilling trucks out.
Meanwhile, council members discussed the auxiliary issues that must be acted on once the water is found. One of the main items was the construction of a 10-inch east-west water main, going under the Soo Line railroad tracks. That project is a must, because both Packaging and the industrial park area need the large flow provided by the 10-incher to run sprinkler systems. The largest main connecting the two areas now is six inches wide.
“We can’t just sit here waiting and wondering. We need that 10-inch main, so let’s apply for it and get the ball rolling,” said Ald. Kenneth Dix.
