Many Thanks Given In Recent Time Os Need Appreciation on the part of the Town of Walkerton, their various departments and the public as well is extended to all who help«sl in the many various ways in cleaning up the town, restoring electric pwer and aiding in the property damage during the Monday windstorm. Many volunteers assisted the Street Department in clearing trees to the side of the streets, moving branches and other obstacles from the area to assist in traffic following the storm. All so. Several experienced persons assisted the Electrical Department as they went about restoring power and getting the wires and utility pole.“ in condition to carry juu e again. The Civil Defense jiolu e were a great assist in town as tht X’ answered the call xxith constant help in the time of need.

ages would have been worse to the school buildings. The students Were kept in the buildings in the s 'f* 4 places from broken glass and other damages that could have come. Only those were allowed to leave whose parent called for them. This type of action in a more serious situation could jnve many lives as no one pushed the panic button, but with the cooperation of all students, gave the orders as to the action to be taken which was carried out by all. Simply flaying "Thanks" in a situation such as this dot’s not express the thoughts that are too hard to express in word». The completion of the cleaning up and repair will continue foi some time but will be completed as soon as possible. POLICE NEWS Poli-e Chief Clifford Ward has asked that all bicycle ridem observe the traffic rules and regulations the same as cars. This is law in Indiana that the riders observe these rules for their safety. In Walkerton, very little attention is given to safety rules and this is something that needs to be straightened out. Ed Brent is. 1401 Ohio St., reported that the hub caps were s<tolen from his car this past week. They were full 15 inch caps. John Stahly Jr., route 3, who was arrested last week for reckless drix’ing. came to court this week and paid a fine and costs totaling $18.75. Someone has opined that the four-hour work day never will be fully established until somebody figures out a satisfactory rearrangement of the coffee breaks. Vote On May 8
