ENERGY CONSERVATION FUNDS AVAILABLE TO ELDERLY Sylvia Hougland, Secretary of Fourth State Death Toll Now Over 100 In India, Fighting Follows Assassination Of Gandhi New Delhi, India (AP) Authorities in India now say the death toll in fighting resulting from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination is over 100. The United News of India reports 60 dead in the capital of New Delhi and 55 killed elsewhere in that country. Hospital sources in New Delhi have confirmed the deaths in the capital and say there are more than 600 injured in that city.

Officials have clamped a round-the-clock curfew on the capital and issued shoot-to-kill orders against rioters. Curfews are in effect in 30 Indian towns. Crowds viewing the body of the slain prime minister became so unruly that police had to use tear gas to restore order. Funeral services for Gandhi are set for Saturday. Secretary of State Shultz is to lead the official U.S.

delegation. The Soviet news media hinted the CIA may be involved in the Gandhi assassination. Reports in newspapers, Radio Moscow and the official news agency Tass blame the murder on "India's opponents abroad." The reports also allude to alleged CIA connections to Sikh separatists. Gandhi was gunned down outside her New Delhi home Wednesday by some of her Sikh bodyguards. PREDICTS GASOLINE PRICES TO FALL Topeka (AP)The Kansas Corporation Commission reported today that gasoline prices were at their lowest level in 19 months during October.

Fuel allocation analyst Lyle Goltz said the average price for self-service, regular leaded gasoline was $1.10 per gallon at 72 stations surveyed. The average price for self-service, regular unleaded gasoline was $1.16 per gallon. Self-service prices for the past three months have been the lowest since March 1983, when regular leaded sold for an average of $1.04 per gallon. Goltz predicts prices will fall even lower because of a large supply, and because of price cuts for crude oil. He said announced price cuts of about $1.50 a barrel mean retail gas prices should fall another three cents a gallon.

The news is not as good for users of diesel fuel and propane. Prices for those products rose about one-half cent per gallon during October, reaching levels of $1.26 per gallon for diesel fuel and 92 cents per gallon for propane.

The city says the outhouses are in violation of a 1977 ordinance, and recently filed a petition against the owners in Rush county district court.

But the owners are contesting the case and have hired a lawyer from Hays to represent them. Attorney Gene Anderson says he plans to file a response in court by Friday, and doesn't expect the matter to go to trial until January or Februar Anderson says the city's case is based on theories that the outhouses violate a city ordinance and are a public nuisance. Defenders of the outhouses say they were in existence long before the ordinance. And, they also claim that the outhouses are no more of a nuisance or health hazard than the municipal sewage lagoon northeast of the city. Only a few of the outhouse owners are without indoor plumbing.

But some say the buildings are useful for visitors or travelers because the community has no public restrooms. TO EXECUTE WOMAN FRIDAY IN VIRGINIA Richmond, Va.

The Lady Braves placed third in 3A in 1974 at Tonganoxie, posting a 13-1 record for the season. And, in 1972, Council Grove lost in the opening round of the 5-4-3A state tourney here.

Wednesday, the court in San Francisco denied a temporary injunction against the county election board. County residents fear a political takeover by followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree. upset win here last Friday night. The Braves are 1-1 in district play and Clay Center 2-0. A Council Grove victory would leave both schools at 2-1, with the local eleven advancing in the playoffs based on results of their head-to-head confrontation.

There is another factor, however. If Wamego would beat Chapman and Council Grove wins Friday, three teams would be tied at 2-1. The tie breaker then is margin of victory in each team's three district contests (maximum spread of 13 points allowed in each game, even if you win by more than that). On this basis, Wamego would be eliminated from the picture, and Council Grove would have to beat Clay Center by nine or more points to have the best margin. Clay Center, 7-1 overall, tied for first place in the North Central Kansas League.

The Tigers run a pro set offense, with split backs, and spread out a flanker and split end. Speed and quickness is an asset, and several players are back who played last year when Clay Center made it to the semi-final round of the state playoffs before losing. On defense, the Tigers favor a 4- 2, which the Braves don't see too much. It is a strong defense against the pass. "They have been consistent on defense," Buchanan said.

Gay Center gave up two touchdowns against both Abilene and Chapman, but held their other six opponents to less points. Council Grove has no new injuries, but there has been some illness in the Braves' camp this week that could result in changes in starting lineups. The Braves are 4-4 overall, while the combined junior varsity and freshman-sophomore record was 5- 3 for the campaign. ANOTHER GREAT-GRANDCHILD FOR HOWARD INGMTRE Mr. and Mrs.
