In action taken Monday night, the council voted to forbid the use of culinary water for pools, estimated at about five in the city. The city swimming pool was not included in the ban.

The decade now drawing to a close began in the midst of a war that was the longest and most expensive in our history, and the most costly in human lives and suffering. Because it was a divisive and painful period for all Americans, we are tempted to want to put the Vietnam war out of our minds. But it is important that we remember - honestly, realistically, with humility. It is important, too, that we remember those who answered their Nations call in that war with the full measure of their valor and loyalty, that we pay full tribute at last to all Americans who served in our Armed Forces in Southeast Asia. Their courage and sacrifices in that tragic conflict were made doubly difficult by the Nations lack of agreement as to what constituted the highest duty. Instead of glory, they were too often met with embarrassment or ignored when they returned. I call upon state and local governments to join with me in proclaiming Vietnam Veterans Week, and to publicly recognize with appropriate ceremonies and activities yesterdays service and todays contributions of Vietnam era veterans. -- Paper Drive Set For Saturday Salina Lions will scour the city, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, to collect newspapers in their monthly paper drive.
