■DAY* 1992
Memorial Service will be held at 9:00 a.m. Monday, May 25,1992
in the Clifton Cemetery, Clifton, Texas,
conducted by Pastor Ben Warrenburg, from
Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Norse, Texas.
A nation that sustains the course of history’s great
struggles owes it’s existence to the people who protect
it—tne men and women who stand ready to fight for it.
America can be proud of those who have served in
the armed forces throughout the past, and sadly, mourn
those who gave their lives. Memorial Day is a time to
remember, and a time to honor, the very people whose
greatest sacrifice contributed to the strength and growth
of this nation. May their heroic d^eds never be forgotten.

for the storage tanks and pesticide
storage building he has in mind in
a portion of CMA not in use. Tay-
lor told the Council April 14 he
would need a 12-to-13-year contract
to assured continued access to CMA.
On May 12, he noted that some
spraying services had 25-to-30-year
agreements at some airports, and
“would like as long a lease as pos-
sible.” Taylor said that “if the city
would do some of the preparatory
work, I’m willing to cone off a num-
ber of yean” in the lease's life.
Pool Appointments Made
Lydia Adams was the unanimous
Council choice to be assistant
manager of the municipal swim-
ming pool at Olsen Park. Last
year’s assistant manager is this
year’s manager, Margaret O.
Edwards.

the Council, following an executive
session to discuss personnel mat-
ters, were appointments of eight
lifeguards. They include Missy
Armstrong, DeeOnna Christian, Ja-
son Crow, Roacoe Miller, Kelly
Robertson, Christi Satherwhite, An-
gie Williams, and Lara Zuehlke.
The pool will open to the public
Saturday, May 30. Adhering to
Manager Edwards’ wishes, the
Council unanimously agreed to ban
flotation devices from the pool this
summer.
Tennis Proposal la Made
Mayer Hollingsworth promised that
the Council would check legalities in-
volved in a request by Jack R.
Gregory, Clifton Independent School
District (CISD) tennis coach and
teacher, for use of the municipal ten-
nip courts for a Clifton Tennis Junior
Development Program.
“Because of the increased interest
in tennis in Clifton, and because of the
success of the Clifton High School ten-
nis team this year in University In-
terscholastic League competition, I
would like to begin an annual sum-
mer junior development program for
the youth of the community,” Gregory
explained, in a letter to Council
members
Gregory’s proposed program pro-
vides for:
Three separate age groups, grades
1-5, 6-8, and high school beginners
Use of one or two courts at Olsen
Park.
Clinks taking place from 8 to 9*.30
and 10 to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 to
2:30 p,m. Mondays through
Thursdays
Cost per person. $40 for 12 hours of
instruction.
Possibly private or small group les-
sons evenings during the summer.
A junior tournament could take
place during mid-August, under
Gregory’s sponsorship.
Gregory hopes to make the program
an annual one, “much in line with the
summer program offered at Waco.”
"Each year, we have had more and
more kick going to Waco for this type
of instruction. I hope to be able to keep
the activity here in Clifton and to
build our local programs ‘from the
group up,’ ” Gregory explained.
