C.P. American
! Plans -are now underway for tfie
r j erection of flood lights at the high
a school football field. ~'l'he necessary
s elghY poles have been secured and
- are now being prepared for u_se.
t 'The holes have been dug ready for
• the erection of the poles tvhen
randy. The big job for. the cour-
t mitt.ee at present is the raising of
t the money ' necesstizey to install the
lights, acording to a statement last
- night by Art Rupp, who is hnndliryq
• f_!to .job.
The building at the gt•and stand
~ at the field was undertaken by the
Lions club as their first project. This
structure is now finished and paint-
ed, according to Mr. Rupp. Much
s credit for the fine job of painting
~ ~ is due to Floyd Loefler, master
i painter, who donated Ute use of his
e! spray machine and equipment and
' I who did much of the work.
t~ bigging the holes for the pules`
proved a much harder job than was
t anticipated vn gecount pf the hard
' ground. Efforts ko dig the holes by
' hand failed and it- was necessary t'u
~ sectu•e a compressor and air hammer
a to drill holes for powder ko loosgn
t up the hardpan sufficiently to en- 1
' able the hates to ~bc sunk to the
~I proper de~ith.
The project of providing lights at
~ the high school field, while sponsor-
s ed by---tlte Lions club, is not just a
s, Club project but a community one.
1 On account of the fact that they
t games must now be played by day-
( light and that most of those who
like to attend such games are work-
tag' at that time, It is felt that if
1~ the field were. lighted and the
games--played in the-~vgning the
I attendance would be much larger
y and -mw•c profitable for the school.
I, Mr. Rupp states that he and the
cdinmittee are o_ pen to suggestions
:, as to the best means to raise the
money necessary to corriplete the
e
3I project.. A tentative eattmate places
}the cost of the.ttood lights--and th'e
r:I installation at around $804. Anyone
