DOOLAN Ruby J. Doolan, 62, of 1347 25th St. died of a respiratory ailment Sunday at Broadlawns Medical Center. A 3 buildings at seed corn plant By KATHIE KINRADE Register Staff Writer A fire at Pierson Seed Producers about 4Vz miles northeast of Os-kaloosa, destroyed three buildings Monday afternoon and threatened to spread to others before firefighters brought the blaze under control. Royce Pierson, who owns the com pany with his father and brother, said damage to the buildings probably will total $1 million.

The seed processing plant, a grain dryer and a grain bin complex were destroyed, he said. Fire Chief David Miller said the fire started about 3:45 p.m. in the large, barnlike processing building. No cause has been determined yet and the fire will be investigated by the State Fire Marshall's office, Miller said. Strong winds spread the flames to a nearby grain dryer and a bin complex, destroying both of those structures as well, Miller said.

Firefighters sprayed water on several nearby buildings, including the main office and main warehouse, to keep the flames from spreading to them, he said. Miller said a propane tank was in the path of the fire until winds pushed the blaze in another direction. No one was working near the build ings when the fire started and no one was injured, Pierson said. Flames reached 100 feet into the air, according to Mike Jaeger of Os-kaloosa, who arrived on the scene before firefighters. The wind carried sparks to a field southeast of the company and started grass fires, Jaeger said.

Firefighters from the Oskaloosa and Pella departments brought the fire under control about 6 p.m. and were continuing to put out spot fires and cool surrounding buildings Monday night, Miller said. Pierson said the fire will not ham per business this spring because two grain dryers and the main warehouse were not affected. Long-distance betting in S.D. SIOUX FALLS, S.D.

(AP) South Dakota State Racing Commission representatives checked out a building here last week that will hold a system to bring greyhound races to fans via closed-circuit television. The racing commission has approved a satellite racing system that will allow people to go to the Sioux Falls location, place their bets and watch the races televised live from Sodrac Park, which is located in North Sioux City. The number of customers and the amount wagered at Sodrac plunged last season because of competition from a new track at Council Bluffs, according to Scott Scepaniak, the commission's executive director. "As of last year, Sodrac Park's handle fell drastically because of the opening of Council Bluffs. They lost over 50 percent of their attendance along with over 50 percent in the amount of money wagered," he said.

Gordon Ribstein of Brookings, a member of the racing commission, and Scepaniak examined the site for off-track betting for Sodrac Park. The state has allowed pari-mutuel betting for many years. But the Legislature approved off-track betting three years ago. "This would be the next best thing to being at the races without driving 77 miles down route 1-29 to get to Sodrac," said Irv Epstein, Sodrac's owner. The Sioux Falls satellite racing center should be ready by mid-summer, he said.

In addition to the lottery applications, the council promised to give Weiler $27,000 to help the company move its beverage bottle manufacturing plant from Omaha, Neb. The council also promised to loan Unicor $50,000 to help it establish a cardboard manufacturing plant. Agreed to tie the interest rate charged by the city to residents for paving and sewer projects to the rate of Government National Mortgage Association certificates. For years, the city charged 12 percent the maximum allowed by state law.

The council voted to stop that practice in March after residents complained that 12 percent is much higher than prevailing interest rates. Under the new formula, the interest rate on projects assessed during the last three months would have been 9 percent. Postponed until May 19 a hearing on whether the historic Garver House at 721 16th St. should be demolished so the Celebrity Care Center can expand. The nursing home and abandoned house are owned by the same people, but council approval of the demolition is required because the buildings are located in the Sherman Hill Historic District.

That's the message Hawkeye boosters are trying to convey as they try to entice people to move to this Fayette County community. Hawkeye has a population of 512 but has room for more. About 20 houses are vacant. That could change Saturday, when a dozen homes that are for sale or rent will be open for inspection during "Hawkeye Hospitality Day." Lure People The town is putting a new twist on economic development: Lure people to Hawkeye, then, perhaps, businesses will follow, said Mel Eliason of the Hawkeye Betterment Committee. "We talked about several things we could do to help the town.

We decided to try this approach," said Eliason, 59, manager of the local grain elevator co-op. Visitors to Hawkeye on Saturday may tour homes priced from $5,000 to $45,000 or rummage through items at the community's all-day garage and craft sales. Hawkeye service clubs and other local organizations, numbering 14 or more, will have exhibits emphasizing aspects of the good life here. "We feel that someone could work in Waterloo, around 50 miles away, live here and be ahead financially in spite of the commuting. They would have all the advantages of smalltown living," he said.

George Richmond, 63, a native of Hawkeye who retired here after a career in telephone company management, lauds the work ethic in the predominantly German Lutheran community. "It's remarkable, all the organizations they have here. Every one of them is active," he said. New Community Hall When the Hawkeye community hall burned down a few years ago, townspeople pitched in with donated labor and materials to build a new one in time for a New Year's dance, less than three months later, said Leon Dietzenbach, 37, vice president of the Citizen Savings Bank here. Hawkeye Mayor Glen Boie said it's never been difficult to find help for a community project.

Hawkeye boasts a five-acre park with tennis courts and a baseball field, a library, elementary school, the new community hall, four churches and about two dozen businesses. Information promoting the town and "Hawkeye Hospitality Day" has been circulated throughout the region, reaching even the Chicago Tribune and radio personality Paul Harvey. Eliason said the move of older residents to a new 16-unit retirement 2nd ward resident ran petition drive Continued from Page IM election, while Dorrian and Councilman Richard "Ric" Jorgensen voted against it. Councilwoman Elaine Szymoniak was not at the meeting. Dorrian said he voted no because he wanted the 2nd Ward to be represented as soon as possible.

"The majority of the people in the 2nd Ward don't want a special election," he said. Priebe was elected to the council in 1979 and served until 1983, when he did not seek re-election. He said Monday night he will not run for office again. "It came as a surprise," he said of the appointment. "I don't have any qualms about serving." Priebe, 69, lives at 2929 Guthrie Ave.

and is a retired sales coordinator for Quality Control Equipment Co. He may take the oath of office as early as today. Martin said he conducted the petition drive because "the people of the 2nd Ward are entitled to the same process as the entire city of Des Moines." Martin was referring to the special mayoral election forced by citizens after the council appointed George Nahas to fill the vacancy created by Pete Crivaro's death in December. Martin said Flagg did not ask him to circulate petitions, although he said he contacted Flagg about them. The petitions were notarized by Flagg's secretary.

People who have expressed interest in the council seat include: James Hancock of 3622 E. Eighth director of correctional services for the 5th Judicial District; Lucretia Mi-chaela Funaro of 2303 Avenue Frederick M. Hubbell, an employee of the Iowa Department of Economic Development; Robert Donly of 3840 N. Union a member of the Des Moines Plan and Zoning Commission; Odie Piper of 2909 E. 36th Court, head of the union that represents the city's blue collar workers; and Richard Christian of 2810 Tiffin also a plan and zoning commissioner.

Hawkeye Donnan 1 (s a i r-rr- i Irnltl Id Randalia home complex is one of the reasons. why Hawkeye has several vacant homes. Hawkeye Betterment Committee Richmond has been tabbed to head the town's fledgling non-profit Eco- nomic Development Corporation, which seeks new businesses and sup- -ports existing firms. The Hawkeye Betterment Committee, an out- growth of the Businessmen's Associa- tion, concerns itself with building the population. All of the community work is being done on a shoestring budget, accord- ing to Richmond.

He said the best thing Hawkeye -has to offer is attractive living condi- I tions. "It's like my granddaughter said to me one day, 'Grandpa, it's so peaceful and quiet Buss known as a conservative Continued from Page 1M the river before it could be fixed. Buss was born in Genoa, 111., but when he was 6, his family moved to Rochester, where his father had a carpentry business. He came to Des Moines in 1922, working for five years at Chevrolet Motor Co. before opening Buss Neon Sign which he owned and operat- ed for 25 years.

Buss also worked as an assistant manager for Porter Neon Sign and was a salesman for Bradley Printing Co. He continued to work there on a part-time basis after fail- ing to win re-election to the Council in -1977. Served on Commissions Buss also served on the Des Moines Parks Commission and the city's -Plan and Zoning Commission. Throughout his council terms, Buss was a fiscal conservative noted for his practical approach to city govern- ment. He stressed the need to upgrade Des Moines' sewer system, widen its north-south streets, and re- habilitate its existing housing.

"If they want someone with com- mon sense in spending the taxpayers' money and who has experience and time, they should vote for me," the semi-retired Buss said of voters in a 1977 interview. Buss, who lived at 3724 16th belonged to the Highland Park Businessmen's Association and was a member of St. John's Catholic Church, 1915 University where a funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Thursday. He is survived by his wife, Adeline; three sons, Robert of West Des Moines and Jack and James, both of Des Moines; three daughters, Donna Bergstrom of Bettendorf and Margaret Tingwald and Phyllis Lemons, both of Des Moines; 13 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
