The Arthur Park Board with the assistance of local citizens on an advisory committee, is pursuing the construction of a new public swimming pool to replace the current pool which is badly in need of costly repairs.

Arthur school district has agreed to join in a feasibility study on the subject of forming a co-operative high school. Other districts in this group include Atwood-Hammond, Bement, and Lovington.

Here's a topic that should draw comments.

What do you think Arthur should do on this issue? Almost everyone will agree that the burning is a nuisance at best and a serious health hazard to some, but what to do about the leaves?

Just ban the burning and let everyone fend for themselves?
Provide for free pickup and disposal at the village expense?
Limit the burning to certain days and tell the sufferers to get out of town on those days?
Or some combination?
