WARNS CHILDREN ON
OF BULBS

Residents of Plentywood will just
have to be without street lights IN
many parts Of the city if youngsters
persist in shooting light bulbs from
pots" was the Statement OF Chief OF
Police Robert Rookie today to the Her
aid.
Efforts of the city lighting depart
ment to keep street lights burning has
proven practically an impossible jon
because of wanton destruction by
youths with sling-shots, air rifles and
stones, MIR. Rookie said, unless the
practice stops Immediately sections Of
the city with broken bulbs on posts
will have to be in the dark"
In many parts Of Plentywood light
bulbs have repeatedly been installed.
Within a few days they have been
smashed.
1T has not only proven to be q
costly proposition" the police chief
said, but has resulted in considerable
time being lost by city employees who
have regular duties to attend to with
out having their time occupied in re-
pairing damage the result of destruct-
i've measures by boys"
The chief Of police asks hat parents
use every effort to cooperate in rid
ding the city of the destructive evil.

in City This Winter

Skating has become the popular pas
time among Plentywood people, both
young and old the past week, brought
about largely with balmy weather and
GOOD ice, both making an ideal setting
for the outdoor sport.
