the drive for a park mainten-
ance fund five weeks ago when
4G0 letters were mailed out to
citizens of Mills County telling
of the need for the fund.
A goal of $1200 was set to
assure sufficient funds for em-
ploying a park caretaker on a
year around basis, or at least
through the entire growing sea-
son.
The park Is a county-wide
project and has been used by
many groups from a wide area.
Committee members are still
hopeful that more contributions
will be coming in during the
days ahead to reach the goal.
Checks should be made out to
the Park Fund and presented
to a member of the park board
or fund drive committee or they
may be turned In at Mills Coun-
ty State Bank.

census taker Is assigned, the

been prepared for the 1960 Cen-

tricts into which the country
has been divided for the census
Every census taker will be fur-
