Acton Roxy to Close for Summer and Farm Driving Warning
Local readers learn that the Acton Roxy theatre will close for the summer to protect profits amid modest May attendance. A call for co operation between merchants and theatres is made as residents shop out of town and a broader downtown promotion is proposed. Separately farmers are urged to keep under 16 year olds from driving tractors on highways to prevent accidents, with fines noted and an exception when crossing the road.
