the Pres- At Grace Lutheran Church, the byterian Women's Association will, Rev. H. D. Boyer has announced improvement of the program. Not City Property But it was pointed out that the popular softball diamond south of Highway 21 on the eastern edge of the city is not on city-owned property it belongs to the Omro Area Industrial Development Corp.

Whether that means the diamond might someday be removed entirely is not definitely known. Lighting was stressed as the main improvement needed. Eve ning games now must begin at 6:30 in order to finish before dark, and many players have difficulty arriving that early, it was said. If the city does provide lighting next year, improvements to the field itself could be left to volunteer workers. Everyone agreed public support of the program is healthy enough to obtain the volunteer help.

It was cjso pointed out thai vol unteers could help erect the light ing system, thus limiting the city's cost to paying for poles and equipment. Second-hand lights were another cost-cutting suggestion. Complaint Heard Also Thursday, the Council di rected its services committee to confer with Clarence Rankin, mu nicipal garbage collector, after hearing a complaint that burning perishables were creating an odorous smoke nuisance. Perishables are supposed to be buried in a huge ditch already dug for that purpose, but some people have been burning garbage before it is covered, it was said.

Koeneman as traffic officer, and authorized the police and fire commission to take what steps are necessary to maintain adequate protection.
