Vandervalk, who
nightly rounds on a
horse, applied to the sheri ft
for permission to install a tail light
on his steed. ...
The tail light, he explained,
would keep cars from hitting him

"It's the first time a case of this

The Obsei ■ er, v.'io has a daily
,'olurun in this paper, has suggest-
ed that the readers write about
what ought to he done and what
should not be done, and I think
that was a mighty good sugges-
tion.
However, observing the low and
receding tide of the moral phase
of human life, I cannot forget or
ignore tiia" problem, regardless ol
how much fun I am having. Hut
here goes, for once, iu regard to
ou water supply, making no
boa: t or claim for my economic in-
1 genuity or my business acumen:
I think we should hold on to our
present water supply and leave
the pipe in the ground, ll
heads are better than .one, pio-
bably two lakes would be better
than one. But I have not the space
here for a lenghty argument on
mv suggestion.
From what I can gather from
the discussions among our t ity
Dads, the main purpose of build-
ing the new darn was to provide
facilities for amusement, fishing
and sports. If that is it, I think
all of the water should be left in.
The fish may need it, and boating
would be much better at high tide,
to say nothing of the drowning.
I cannot think of an appropriate
rhyme for this spasm. I hope na
one will IVel insulted.
