Cuff Stuff Rumors, those deadly unfounded allegations spread over cof- cups and backyard fences, too often accepted fact. The latest rumor making the rounds would have us believe a recent test of the water at Kanopolis reservoir revealed the presence of typhoid fever. Mel Gray, assistant director of environmental health for the stale health department at Topeka, would like to nip this rumor in the bud. He says the rumor is particularly prevalent in the McPherson area. "We routinely check the surface water at Kanopolis," Gray said.

"It is perfectly normal and for recreational use." He added that testing water does not disclose typhoid fever, anyway. Typhoid is an intestinal disease normally spread through a contaminated water or food supply, and is rarely found anymore in the United States.

Shotwell speculated that some type of fireworks had been put in the box. The on-again-olf-again trip to i wilderness ranch by Salina Boy Scouts is off definitely.

Mrs. Galiegos is the mother of Sharon Lynn Galiegos who was not quite five years old when she disappeared July 21, As the fifth anniversary of the child's disappearance approaches, Mrs. Galiegos wrote Sen. Joseph Monloya, to ask for assistance. Montoya said FBI Director J.

Edgar Hoover had been asked whether the investigation is complete and to furnish her with an up-to-date report. "I should be hearing from Mr. Hoover in the very near future, and I shall contact you at that time," Montoya's letter said. Mrs. Galiegos also asked for publicity of the case hoping Sharon might read it and notify authorities.

Kidnaped He An FU1 bulletin circulated after the disappearance quotes witnesses as saying a man and woman kidnaped Sharon and that they were driving an old model, dark green car. Sharon was playing with other children at the time and one was quoted by officers as saying the car had stopped and the woman asked Sharon to come with her, promising to buy her clothes ami candy. When Sharon refused, the playmate said, the woman dragged her into the car. Other reports indicated the woman was seen in the vicinity of the Galiegos home several times prior to the incident.

Books are kept open until about July 8 to clear pending Kansas anti-discrimination law which became effective today broadens existing statutes in two major areas--employment and public accommodations. Beth the old law and the newly amended form are aimed at on a basis of race, religion, color, national origin or anceslry. Under the old law.

prohibitions against discrimination in employment applied to persons employing four or more persons. The old law banned discrimination in hotels, mot-els, cabin camps and restaurants. The new statute retains the prohibition against discrimination in such establishments and adds "trailer court, bar, tavern, barber shop, beauty parlor, theater, skating rink, bowling alley, billiard parlor, amusement park, recreation park, swimming pool, lake, gymnasium, mortuary, cemetery which is open to the public or on any public transportation facility." Can Subpoena The new Jaw makes it possible the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights to obtain subpoenas, if necessary, in an investigation or for the production of evidence and witnesses at a public hearing. It also changes the composition of the Civil Rights Commission to require that at least one member be a person authorized to practice law in Kansas. The commission said it will distribute soon copies of the new and a notice to be posted by all covered employers and places of public accommodations.

Thursday, July WASHINGTON 'A government entered its sixth straight year of red-ink financing today but pointed with some pride to a sharply reduced deficit in the fiscal year just ended. Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowlrr announced that the fiscal I9fi5 deficit, on which the books closed at midnight, was an estimated $3.5 billion.

That compared with President Johnson's January forecast of a $5.3 billion deficit. The secretary foresaw a billion deficit for the new fiscal year. That implies a improvement since January. Gemini 7 Crew Picked Disaster Area An emergensy loan program will be stressed, according to G-ieorge. On June 22, Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman designated nine western Kansas counties for emergency loan assistance after a field check showed farnvers ami ranchers in these areas had suffered widespread 1 flood damage.

Freeman designated two more counties for emergency aid Wednesday, George said. "These loans will let the farmer replant damaged crops and replace or repair houses and buildings destroyed or damaged," George said. The loans also will replace farm machinery and livestock, repair irrigation systems, fencing, and restore other farm property. These loans carry three percent interest and cover a 33- year period. A Big Switch Last year the emergency aid was invoked because of widespread drought.

Other programs will be loans to build rural housing, to strengthen farm and non-farm enterprises, and to sponsor building community water systems like those at Falun and Roxbury. Congress expanded FHA funds threefold from 1965 to the new fiscal year, George said. The FHA had million to work with next year, the majority of it being on an insured basis. The local offices will loan the money and the government will underwrite the loan. Sixteen million dollars will be used in Kansas with about half coming under the insured basis.

By Larry Matbewi Weather Ofaserrer June was a good month for the ducks. They could ssvim around on floodwaters from overflowing rivers and creeks in the Salina area, feasting on the floating heads of unharvestcd wheat. The month began with a shower and ended with a shower. In between there were showers, thunderstorms and torrential downpours, with a little hail mixed in. It was a bad month for the farmers.

They had almost won their race against the elements in harvesting one of the finest wheat crops in history. Bui most are stUl waiting to get back into the muddy fields.
