An electric light plant and
equipment has been installed at
the Community House. It was fi-
nanced by the surplus money col-
lected at the Community Christ-
mas Tree and by other funds.
Some of the young ment are spon-
soring the work. It is an im-
provement that will be appreciated
by young and old, as all attend
many gatherings there.

Due to the continuous rain last

frozen in the mud.
