Feminine Flair Evident In Lane County Fair woman's touch wais evident this week throughout the Lane County Fair which opened Wednesday in Dighton, ticking the 1970 county fair season in Sothwest Kansas. The woman's touch has been bat of Mrs. Guy Wayne Johnson, a young Lane County lousewife who found herself in the position of being in charge of the three-day fair. Virginia, as she is known by her friends land co-workers, has served the past four years as Counity Extension Home Economist. Twice during those four years she found her self wearing a second hat, that of trying to fulfill tasks nioirmatly done by a county extension agricultural agent.

Such was the case with this year's county fair. Lane county, at the moment, is between ag agents. Agent Jim Pliler left in laite May to engage in hog farming in Southeast Kansas. A new agent has been hired, but he will not begin has new duties in Dighton until the first of September. He is Kenneth Allen, now an agent at Phillipsburg.

While Mns. Johnson is in over ail charge of the fair, she quickly points out various fair committees have "done a real good job. They took care of all the livestock. Otherwise, without them. Also receiving a pat on the back for assistance beyond the call of duty is husband, Guy.

He has served as his wife's right hand, doing all the heavy work sihe findis needs to be done. A Lame County farmer, he has land north and south of Dighton and also raises cattle. Adding to the woman's touch has been Extension Secretary Mrs. Blanche Stu! and her summer assistant, Ellen Roberts. The latter is a college freisih- man and is a former Lane County 4-H'er.

Activity in this year's fair began Wednesday witlh the placing of exhibits and some judging. First day's highlight was the annual fair parade in downtown Dighton, followed by a ivening rodieo. Judging occupied daytime activities Thursday with Lane County 4-H'ers starring last night in the annual Style Review and Best Groomed Boy Contest. Today, the final day, began this morning with the annual 4-H livestock sale, followed by the checkout of exhibits and cleaning up. of the fairgrounds.

The Israeli Cabinet reached agreement at its fourth meeting on the U.S. which encountered strong opposition fron. rightist elements who had threatened to quit Prime Minister Golda Meir's coalition government if it accepted the American proposal. The Israeli announcement said the decision on the cease- fire was reached after "taking into account the clarifications provided by tine government of the United States." This was taken to mean Washington's reported reassurances to Israel that it would continue to maintain the Middle East balance of power and prevent any of the warring parties from reaping military advantage from any cease-fire. The Israelis fear the Egyptians will use a limited cease- fire to beef up their military de- flemses along the Suez Canal prior to renewing the fighting.

In Cairo, a spokesman for President Gamal Abdel Nasser warned Egypt's Arab critics to avoid "division in the Arab lines" over the American plan and Nasser's acceptance. In new air action, Israeli planiss staged a reprisal raid today on Jordanian army positions following rocket attacks by Jordan-based Arab guerrillas on Israeli settlements.

has been set by the board 'as the date and time for a public hearing on the proposed budget. Location of the hearing will be the Holcomb High School. As proposed, the Holcomib budget is the only tax supported budget within Finney County to show a sharp increase over last year's budget. Last year's expenditures were $398,046 raised by a 14.94 mill levy. The projected $601, 998 budget will require a levy of 20.22 mills.

Reason for the sharp increase is the $600,000 bond measure voted into existence last fall by residents of the district which takes in the By The Telegram Among tihe niew students completing requirements for enrollment at Kansas State University, are Jill Kleysteuber of Garden City and Ricky Hibler of Pierceville. Both students en- roled in the College of Arts and Sciences. ern one-third of Finney County. The $600,000 will be coupled with some $50,000 on hand to build additional classrooms, physical education facilities (including an enclosed swimming pool) and offices. Andy Galloway, superintendent of schools, explained the first year levy for the new indebtdness is high mainly because enough tax money must be raised to pay off the first 18 months of bonds on the project.

He said the levy should drop to five mills by next year. Contracts for the major Holcomb school project are expected to be let in mid to late August, he added. While the new indebtedness calls for a 6.34 mill increase, one other levy has been removed from the proposed budget. That was 2.85 mills for capital outlay which expired. Some $83,.

596 raised by that levy will go towards the new project and for other school needs. The district made its final payment last fall of $14,000 to retire bonded indebtedness incurred through a grade school addition a decade ago. Helping the tax situation for the district this year is an almost $2 million increase in district valuation, up from last year's $15,923,715 to this year's $17,292,775.
