CO-OP HOTES
\ CONSERVE ON WATER
Due to the continued dry weather our water
supply is becoming critical. Mr. Allyn,
general manager of the M.V.F.C.A. requests
that all water users try in every way to
save on water so that we will not run out
entirely. This means that the present
supply is too low'to permit watering of
gardens and lawns. We do not want a re
occurrence of the difficulties'we had in
the;’.summer of 1942. Therefore, patrons
on the water line are asked to cooperate
in every way possible until this dry
weather breaks and our water supply re
turns to normal.
PLEASE RETURN EMPTY MILK

Mr. Kaveman asks that all persons who have
empty milk bottles on hand, please return
