A
DARE program
Students
learn about scruples
through role-playing
[NOV.
25, 2000] Lincoln
students have a rare opportunity, thanks to the Lincoln Police
Department. Students who participate in the DARE program in sixth
grade, seventh grade and high school are eligible for college
scholarships. That is one of the reasons why Officer Montcalm has
presented the DARE program to the seventh grade students at Lincoln
Junior High School for the past three years and why he plans to
continue.

Is a cruise vacation in your plans?
[NOV.
25, 2000]
Now
is the least expensive time to take a cruise, find a regional
promotion or a last-minute deal. Up until late December — but not
over Christmas or Thanksgiving — is your best bet to find a good
deal. Consumers can expect to pay reduced rates that are better than
2-for-1 specials. A seven-night cruise that normally costs $899 a
person in the summer could be $499 during this period, with the
third and fourth person sailing for $99. That’s a potential
average of $300 for a one-week cruise.

Mason
City Parade of Lights and Trees set
[NOV.
25, 2000]
Mason
City's Parade of Lights has grown each of the years it has been in
existence. Sponsored by the C. L. U. B., this light parade
has grown from a few decorated vehicles to anything that walks,
talks, barks and moves by its own power. Adding to the Light Parade
will be a Parade of Trees, now in its second year. Decorated
Christmas trees featured throughout the 120 N. Main St. Civic Center
and adjoining museum will warm spirits for parade goers.
