News of Hill City
By Allen R. Riddick
This week we are most happy to report that cafes are doing their best to refrain from catering to minors. Special Patrolman Willis Wilson reports that some teenagers do try to crash the gates, but after being told they very graciously make their exit. This we find, is a full time job, because some youths are the type that will do right, so long as they know they cannot get away with wrong. We are compelled to stay on our toes to keep checking taverns and other places that minors have no business frequenting.
This summer we promised our Department of Recreation that this winter would find us with a new project in our game room, and that project would be a single bowling alley, along with others activities of the game room.
We hate to go back on our word, but it seems we won't be able to carry out our promise for some time because of the shortages of materials.
Plans are on foot for our annual Halloween celebration. Last year we had many more participants than we had facilities to handle. So this year we are taking no chances. Many had to be turned away because of a lack of space. Last year we had the use of McKelvey School Auditorium, which was not large enough for the crowd.
This year we have to use a second school auditorium because of regulations.
The Hill City Military Band will lead the parade this year which will be the cause for a bigger crowd and will serve to create the type of atmosphere that will make the celebration what it should be on that particular night.
