PAGE FOUR Comments ¿ Week FIELD LIGHTS GET MUCH AID Lights for night sport events on Vernonia’s city pail were given much impetus Monday evening ay the city council which will provide $250 for the installation. Certainly that mount should make much easier the jot of obtaining the additional $250 necessary to bring about the installation. Lights will be a great aid to increased spectator attendance at softball -and foot ball games by making possible the attendance of those employ ed during daytime hours. The time of employment has previous ly prevented many from seeing athletic events they would other wise attend. The request for donations remains as the only method of gaining the additional $250. When that request is made, a fav orable response will greatly increase the chance of obtaining lights. If that resjionse is sufficiently favorable it may be poss ible to have a lighted field for the playing of this summer’s softball games. Vernonia surely can afford lights when they are already in use at Rainier and St. Helens.

ON THE SUBJECT OF THROWING BRICKS It seems that some difficulty has been experienced by city police officials in bringing justice for an offense of throwing bricks from the top of one of Bridge street’s buildings at cars passing by in the street. According to law, those apprehended for the deed can not be punished in the city court but must be brought before the county judge following an action by the district attorney. Those who performed the deed are juveniles. Explanation of the law was made Monday at the council meet ing at which time it was stated that city police had sought ac tion from the district attorney at a previous time for other un lawful acts by juveniles. To date no such action has been taken and with the latest act of violence it seems that two moves are necessary. One of these is that the law regulating trial of juv eniles be changed and the other is that the district attorney be approached with sufficient force to shake off his lethargy and bring legal action.
