THIS WEEK IN MILLS COUNTY A Milts county product is finding its way into a foreign port, it was disclosed here this week. Max Chandler, manager at Henningsen's plant in Matvern, said yolk now being matle is going to a pri- vm Rz vale industry in Hamburg, Germany. Everyone in Mills county shared the loss in some manner that was suffered in the storm in the Henderson area. No doubt thinking of the phrase about there being no respecter among the just and the unjust, Sheriff Don Rhoden voiced the opinion that if all communities were like Henderson "they could do away with my job." "I've had only one night call 'there since I've been sheriff," Rhoden explained. He's in his sixth year of office.

Those who have been following w'ith interest the work of interior remodeling and redecorating of the former Piper hotel which will be used for a nursing and rest home will be glad to know that an extensive fire alarm system is to be installed. It will be automatic with a panel indicator to pinpoint the section of the building where there may be need for response. It also will have standby battery system which will be thrown into use any time the electricity may be off. The operators of the home expect to be ready to accept the first patient between Aug. 1 and 15.

They are Mrs. Bessie Smith and Mrs. Mlidred Peterson from Red Oak and Mrs. Eyvonne 'Wederquist from Glenwood. Mrs.

Wederquist is a registered nurse. Mills County's Home Newspaper Since 1375 Entered In the Post Office at Malvern. Iowa, ns Second Class mall matter under Act o( Congress of March 18T9 MALVERN, MILLS COUNTY, IOWA. THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1956 NO.

4 Henderson Corn Fields Devastated as Hail Storm Brings Total Loss Saturday Night Hail, Wind Leave Big Area of Disastrous Loss in County Disaster struck with a heavy hand in the Henderson area of northeast Mills county Saturday night and left in its wake a two- mile wide path of ruined crops and flattened farm buildings. The blow came Saturday evening. A pleasant shower in the morning left crops looking more propitious than at any time in the past three years. About 6 p. m.

a black cloud formed over the southwest Iowa area. The air was humid and quiet. Then guests of warm and very cool air followed short intervals. In the Henderson area the storm with terrific force, nearly -1 inches of rain fell in loss than an hour, accompanied by the worst hail storm in 20 years. Heavy winds damaged buildings and helped the hail beat down crops until many farmers stated that they were the worst they'd ever soon.

Although the hail actually fell over a path five miles wide, till- worst damage was concentrated in a two-mile strip that cut across the north edge of Henderson. Alfred Hunimell. two miles southwest, reported a light hail and about a 50 pet. loss. From there on north the damage was progressively worse Wheat Referendum Voting to be in County on July 20 Completely devastated was the corn field above after the hail storm Saturday night.

It belonged to Tom Reiken who farms one of the Harry E. Paul places just north of Henderson. Before the hail the corn stood much higher than the young lady at the right and gave prospect for a big yield. In less than an hour it was completely gone. Several more budget estimates of various districts appear in this issue of The Leader.

Each will repay careful study on the part of citizens and taxpayers in the districts affected. Bill Scott, who has quite a repertoire of numbers in his mule- and-clown act, has found the current season a busy one for appearances. Already this season he has shown the act at rodeos in Skidmore, Savannah, Tarkio, and Whiting, la. Bill will appear this week end at Burlington Junction, at Lenox on Aug. 1, 2 and 3 and Dayton on Labor day.

The Whiting appearance wasn't entirely all that was in the script.
