CEMETERY CLEAN UP
As we approach fall and winter it is time to think about the Ely cemetery.

It is important that planters and other grave decorations be removed from grave sites. This will facilitate clean up and lawn maintenance in the spring. Artificial floral arrangements tend to deteriorate over time and scatter around. The wire used in them also then becomes a hazard for the lawn mowers. Planters, flower pots, and still usable arrangements will be in better condition for next spring if they are stored in some kind of shelter over the winter.

The cemetery committee agrees that in many respects the cemetery has looked better this year thanks to both the conscientious crew and the cooperation of the public.

Next year it is hoped there will be an information kiosk in place and some newer water lines and spigots in place.

The City of Winton is inviting residents interested in joining a Winton Historical Commission with the purpose restoring the old Winton Jail. Please call Anne Jackson, Winton City Clerk, at 365-5941.
