No Closing of Schools Despite Low Attendance
The city schools will not be ordered closed for a week due to decreased attendance and colds among children. The current absentee list is not large enough to justify a shutdown, and such action would not materially improve conditions.

The Vikor Y P S plans a gathering at Solomon Lake church basement on Friday March 10 at 8 pm hosted by the Albert Hanson and J T Syvertson families. Everyone is welcome.
