Council Grove Republican from Council Grove, Kansas • 1

some odd ends Council Grove Swim club members broke a record recently, but it wasn't in I the water. They sold 1,500 pounds of scrap aluminum to a beer' distributor in Emporia to break the record of pounds set earlier by the local team. In case you wondered, 1,500 pounds of aluminum equals 500 beer cans. These were picked up on city streets, along roads leading into Council Grove, or saved by various individuals and turned in to the swim club. During the two years the team has been collecting scrap aluminum, pounds have been sold.

This equals 65,608 cans. With August almost here, football season can't be far away. The first practice session at Council Grove high school is scheduled Aug. 17, according to Darrell Harkness, coach. Players are to pick up physical examination cards in the high school office, and they must have completed their physical before Aug.

17. Information on when equipment will be checked out, will be anounced later in this newspaper.

Lahoma Dennis In Challenge To GOP Women Miss Lahoma Dennis, Topeka, first vice president of the National Federation of Republican Women and the first Kansan to hold a national office in that organization, told a large crowd at a luncheon meeting of the Morris County Women's Republican club today that the NERW president had chosen "Challenge" as her theme for this year and then she proceeded to do just that. "Doesn't your country mean 16 hours to you," Miss Dennis challenged as she called on the local Republican women to work to assure a large majority for candidates of their party in November. She told those attending the luncheon meeting that it was the Republican Party that built this great state and that it is being called on now to solve problems that have gone without solution during three terms of a Democrat governor. Speaking briefly also were State Sen.

John Crofoot, Rep. Pascal Roniger, and County Republican Chairman Henry A. White. Here for the meeting also was Mrs. Tom Van Sickle, Fort Scott, president of the Fifth District Republican Women's club.

Miss Dennis, speaking with the conviction that has marked her rise as one of the most capable and prominent women in Kansas Republican party efforts, stated that after "the fiasco in Miami last week," the Republicans now know what the alternative (McGovern) to Richard Nixon as president is. In urging every effort to assure his defeat, she said that he "already is trying to go back on his promises and earlier statements," and she called for party workers not to let the public forgket what he stands the public forget what he stands refused to serve their country and. for efforts to cut the programs of defense of this nation. She asked that her listeners remind people that this is not President Nixon's war and that when his opponent is talking about bringing servicemen home, he's not pointing out the President already has done this for more than a half million men, and in an orderly fashion. Problems of school finance, higher education and many others have gone without solution under the present governor, she stated, and she added that when he tries to take credit for accomplishments he is careful not to point out that they have been done with the $96 million dollar balance that a Republican gover nor had left in the treasury.

She charged that there are more employees on the state payroll now than ever before in history. She hit also at the tax lid, noting that at five per cent increase each year, the total for the tenure of the present governor would be 30 per cent. She called on those attending the meeting to be informed and speak up, to volunteer and become involved and to give help finance the important work of the party.
