SUNNY AND 51 TODAY.
RAIN TONIGHT.
SUNNY AND 52 TOMOROW.
65 AND SUNNY FRIDAY...SEASON OPENING DAY FOR THE 61 DRIVE-IN
THEATRE.

LAST WEEK, A CORNER SHOT OF THE PROJECTION ROOM AT THE
DRIVE-IN.    THE 35MM PROJECTOR AND FILM PLATTER SYSTEM.
BOTH NOW IN THE TRASH.    
THE OLD!

TODAY, A PHOTO FROM SAME CORNER.
THE NEW!
WE OPEN FRIDAY WITH THIS NEW DIGITAL PROJECTOR.    NO 35MM
MOVIE FILM.    MOVIES ON 35MM FILM HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR RIGHT AT 100 YEARS.   NEXT YEAR, NO 35MM  FILM AT ALL FOR THEATRES,  DIGITAL ONLY.
I HAD TWO CHOICES....BUY THE NEW PROJECTOR, OR CLOSE THE DRIVE-IN.
THE MOVIE IS ON A HARDDRIVE IN THE PROJECTOR.
A 4,000 WATT BULB PROJECTS THE MOVIE ON THE 66-FOOT SCREEN.
CLEARER THAN EVER BEFORE.   BRIGHTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
BETTER THAN EVER!  COME SEE  IT!

THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD MONDAY NIGHT AGREED WITH
SUPT. HUCKSTADT TO CUT $500,000 FROM THE NEW BUDGET.      IT WILL
BE A SHUFFLE OF EMPLOYEES INTO RETIREMENT POSITIONS.   NO
ONE GETS A PINK SLIP.     WHY THE CUT?   BECAUSE THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS NOT AGREED ON FUNDING OF SCHOOLS FOR NEXT YEAR.

SPORTS:   MAQUOKETA GIRLS SOCCER TEAM BEAT DEWITT 3 TO 0
LAST NIGHT.
