Few Changes In
Colony Day Plans
Little more was added to Col
ony Day plans at last week’s
committee meeting, which was
poorly attended. It was an
nounced that Les Ray will assist
James Hurley in planning the
games and sports events for the
day.
Members of the Valley’s two
Girl Scout troops applied for a
concession. They plan to sell
home-made candies and other
sweets, and also to sell postcards
of Valley scenes.
Activity for the Boy Scouts
was discussed, and it was sug
gested that they might attend
in uniform, to take over the job
of directing traffic, and perhaps
managing a parking lot.
Chairman Clare Stock an
nounced that a Mixmaster had
been added to the set of Revere
ware, as one drawing prize. This
prize is to appear on display in
the window of Grasser’s Hard
ware just before the ifaay 28, 29
and 30 Colony Day week-end.
DON’T DO THAT
Parents are urged to warn
the younger school children
of the dangers they face,
when they crawl beneath
the freight trains at the
crossing. Station agent C.
Nelson said several small
children had been seen
crawling beneath a halted
train last week. Train crews
are observing every precau
tion, he stated, but they fear
a child will be killed or
maimed, if the children can
not be taught to walk around
the train.
