1974. "It will give them time to work it over," he said. Kennedy of the Bancroft town council asked if any changes in town zoning maps may be made after the county ordinance is put into effect and was told that town councils have the final say. There was considerable discussion about the administrator who will be appointed by the Supervisors to oversee the ordinance. "Will he be an employee of the Board?" asked Mike Schmit, Plum Creek farmer.

He was assured the administrator would be a county employee and would be under the supervision nf the Board. Cink made a motion to "scrap the agricultural part of the zoning ordinance" and it was seconded several times. Newbrough said any such motion was out of order. Another supervisor present, Ivan Parrott, said that although 100 or so farmers present were apparently against the ordinance, many hundreds of others not present were for the ordinance which would give them protection against an undesirable industry or commercial enterprise setting up adjacent to their land. Near the end of the hearing, an unidentified woman asked if there was any recourse by those against the ordinance to prevent its passage.

She was told it was the duty of the county board to consider the objections and then to take action after the County Commission has made its final decision.

IT IS SAFE to assume that the majority of Algonans in the older generation did not like the idea of a rock concert in town in fact some of them were downright angry. "Yah, you'll think it's okay to have a rock festival," one veteran policeman told a young businessman, "but wait till you have nine of them hippies sleeping on your front lawn." S6me of the town's younger generation seemed indignant over the fair board veto arguing that anything but a rock concert would be okay at the fairgrounds.

One thing is certain: everyone seems to have an opinion on the subject. Charges In Three Crashes On Tuesday Three accidents were investigated Tuesday by the Algona police. The first one occurred at 7:35 a.m. when Merrill Friedrich turned his 1972 Ford Pinto wide on the Commercial street corner to avoid the curb and struck a 1969 Chrysler on Commercial by Mary Ann Kirschbaum of Sexton.

There was an estimated $700 damages to the cars and O'Donnell was charged with failing to yield the right-of-way. At 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday, a two-car crash at the section of Main and Locust streets resulted in two Algona girls being treated at the Kossuth County Hospital for cuts and bruises. Cars driven by Kathryn Peirce and Jane Ann St. John were headed north on Main. Mrs. Peirce turned her 1970 Oldsmobile west and was struck from the rear by 'the St.

John 1973 Rambler. Brenda and Michelle St. John, eight and nine-year-old daughters of Mrs. St. John, received bruises and cuts and were taken by ambulance to the hospital where they were treated and released.

said those attending the meeting of June 9 were board president Berl Priebe, Dean Jergenson, Claude Seely, Orville Thoreson, Dennis Cumberland and Paul Bernhard. Three others were absent. Mertz did not attend the meeting because he said he was not invited. McClure said an invitation wasn't necessary. When an attorney for Mertz requested a second meeting so he could appear on his own behalf, McClure declined, and later said it was up to the board president to call a special meeting.

McClure listed six reasons why the request was denied. When presented with the reasons, Mertz said he had done everything and talked to everyone McClure told him to and was under the assumption that he would be given approval at the fair board meeting. Mertz has hired the Winkel, Nitchals and Winkel law firm to help him with arrangements. Mertz said they have contacted the state attorney general's office about the concert.

Quite different from here, yes, especially the fact there will be no BLUE JEANS, but the social life with lots of en- tertainng and teenage parties and the fact the Novais home is on the beach, sounds exciting as does the chance to get to know our neighbors to the south better and to further her education.
