lovely greenbacks go after
sturdy workers and friends
have hopped into the dunk
tank for them, sweated over
hot grills for them, and
danced and sang on the stage
for them?
You might ask Vincent
Christiano, Grist Mill treas-urer,
the Village "keepers of
the cash," or any of the
Committee members. This
year, in particular, those
hard-earned greenbacks will

badly cracked and the names
of the owners of many of the
houses printed on it were
gradually falling off. The
leaks in the roof will be
repaired, and Tom Reddy's

for a'grand opening" shortly.
