"Cattlemen are demanding production efficiency, especially in rate of gain and feed conversion," -says Dr, Keith Zoellner, Kansas State University extension beef specialist. "Purchasing production tested bulls that are superior in those traits should help improve a herd's efficiency and production potential." Seven cattlemen received recognition at Beloit for having the high indexing sire group within their respective breeds. High indexing Angus pen was a tie between Valley Angus, Lincoln, and George Borell, Dighton. The respective sires were Shipp Rowley P29 and Pillar of Conanga.

(Oscar) Mclntosh, Barton county oil assessor, Tuesday morning before the first grand jury in Ellis county history began its first full day of investigation. Mclntosh, who circulated petitions calling for the grand jury to probe 1974 Ellis county oil and gas property assessments, told the Hays Daily News that he will challenge the makeup of the grand jury. Fifteen Ellis county residents were impaneled Monday afternoon by District Judge Steven P. Flood. Because he believes the jury is im- New gallery at Lindsborg 'LINDSBORG Young Artists' Gallery, a new gallery for art sales and shows in Lindsborg downtown area, will open this weekend.

"The Young Artists' Gallery will offer work by young artists, for show and sale and will include ceramics, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, prints, and leather work. In general, the artists are those not yet recognized professionally, and are not well-known yet," gallery director Phyllis Shaft stated. "We are using a second-floor walkup above the Lindsborg Flower and Gift Shop. Most of the artists in the initial show, many of whom are Bethany College students and alumni, have been working to get the Gallery ready in time. "Hours will be from 1 to 5 pm, except Mondays when the gallery will be closed.

On 3 days, Thursday through Saturday, we will open at 10 am." properly constituted, Mclntosh said, "I will refuse to testify." He apparently was the first witness subpoenaed by the jury. He said Tuesday he received a subpoena Monday night. "I am on my way there now," he said about 8:15 am "But I didn't bring any of my material." Mclntosh in a 14-month campaign to probe the Ellis county assessor's office, said several months ago he found "patterns of favoritism" in the way local assessments were made in 1974. The grand jury began its work Monday afternoon after Judge Flood issued the oath and read his charge to jurrors. Flood told the grand jury that it is not required to probe the 1974 assessments as requested by Mclntosh's petition, nor is it limited only to that area.

"There is no provision in the Kansas law for convening a grand jury to investigate a specific area other than criminal conduct generally. It would be appropriate for you to investigate this area if, you wish, keeping always in mind th't your only duty is to return indictments for specific'criminal conduct, not to adjust tax assessments, for whatever reason," Flood said.

Church shower helps family which lost home RICHTER (HNS) It was like no shower ever before at the Richter Methodist Church. Nol like any baby shower or any bridal shower. It was a "household shower' 1 for the John Craig family, Pomona HFD 1.

whose home and ali contents were destroyed in a fire. The Craigs are not well known in the Richter community, but they do live in the area and the 4 Craig children, ranging in age from 3 to 10, have attended services at the Richter Church. So when their home burned, the Richter United Methodist Women decided to extend a sympathetic hand with a shower. The people in the community came in carrying the brightly colored packages that always accompany a shower. The homemade goods stood wailing on the table the saucer-size sugar cookies, the knobby chocolate chip with the nuts hidden deep inside, the crinkly coconut and the dark rich chocolate brownies.

The punch had been made using whatever had been brought orange juice, Central- Northwest News lemonade and kool aid. When it was lime to open gifts, the Craig children, with help from their 5 aunt, hardly any older than they, and with mom and grandma trying to $u- pervise, attacked the table with family 5 gusto. The paper flew revealing a blanket, a skillet, a pillow, lots of towels, dishes, a lamp, a jar of homemade jelly, a toy or 2 and clothing. Too soon this Impromptu Christmas was over, especially for 3-year-old La- lisia. She hadn't been able to open hardly anything at all.

But there were cookies and punch to follow and soon she was happy again. And while the kids munched, Mom said a quiet "thank you" or 2. VOTE NO Salina USD 3O5 School Bond ELECTION May 11 Paid by Supporters of Education Pol. E. H.
