The students who received top ratings are: Karen Lindsay and Wade Dickerson, duet acting; Elsie Paul and Pam McGhee, orations; Gail Holloway, poetry; and the play cast, Pam McGhee, Gail Holloway, Elsie Paul and Rhoda Webber. Other students to receive recognition for their state numbers are: Shayla Sprague, informative speech; Kevin Gillaspie, extempore; Mike Schainost and Glen Wools, duet acting; John Newman and Shayla Sprague, prose.

More than 280 entries from 43 high schools made up the Emporia program. Nature trails designated INDEPENDENCE Table Mound Hiking Trail and Post Oak Nature Trail on public land near the Elk City Reservoir have been designated as National Recreation Trails by the U.S. Department of Interior. Jim Gaskell, coordinator of the See-Kan Resource Conservation and Development Project in southeast Kansas, said the department had notified him of the designation. The See-Kan board has been instrumental in getting the trails marked and cleared, he said.

The two and three-quarter-mile long Table Mound trail passes along vertical rock walls, cave formations, picturesque boulder fields, majestic red cedars, through forested hills, and across three small creeks. Camping, picniking and parking facilities are provided. Post Oak trail is a self-guiding loop about two-thirds of a mile long. In contrast to the more strenuous Table Mound trail, Post Oak is designed for all ages as an outdoor education and recreation experience. A variety of indigenous plants, trees, and scenic vistas are noted by the 18 numbered stations along the trail.

Police chief quitting Parsons attorney to pursue the matter. To expand industrial park FREDONIA The city commission has decided to exercise an option to buy 10 acres of adjoining land for expansion of the city's industrial park. CHETOPA Lancaster Jr. resigned as Chetopa's police chief, effective May 6. He gave as his reason "my little batch of pride," referring to action of the city council designating him acting chief instead of chief following changes in its makeup after the April 3 city election.

"It opened the back door" for the new mayor, Jim Gilmore, to fire him, Lancaster said. Lancaster also took exception to a council policy requiring the police backup car to be kept at the police station or city water plant rather than permitting a backup officer to take it home. He said a claim he is making for back pay was not connected with his resignation. The city owes him about $4,000 for extra work when the police department was shorthanded, he said, and he has hired a Society deadlines: Meeting summaries, 48 hours after events; calendar announcements, three days in advance of meeting; and wedding accounts with photos, seven days after ceremony.

(AP) The board chairman of Coleman American Companies Inc. and a former executive officer of the firm have been indicted in an alleged multimillion-dollar fraud scheme. Charged in a 13-count indictment returned late Tuesday by a federal grand jury were James F. Coleman, 43, Hutchinson, and Sherman Jay Titens, 46, Overland Park, former chairman of Coleman's executive committee. FBI spokesmen said the case involved about $19 million in student loans received by the company between Nov.

During the period covered by the indictment, Coleman American's business interests included worldwide business education activities; financial services, including the First American Industrial Bank and the First American Leasing in Denver; Coleman American Moving Services and, at one time, ownership of radio station KAYQ in Kansas City.

"It certainly is one of the longest fraud investigations conducted by the FBI in Kansas City," said William J. Stolhans, supervisor of the whitecollar crime squad. The indictments charge that in 1974, 1975 and 1976 defendants processed student loans through Coleman American home study courses at an annual rate of $4 million, knowing that students who had dropped the courses were still being carried on the books as active students to retain the' bank loans. The indictments also charge that Coleman and Titens conspired to fraudulently inflate and overstate the general financial condition of Coleman American to increase the market price of the company's stock. Authorities said students received bank loans averaging about $1,000 when they enrolled in a Coleman American correspondence course.

Funds from the loan, insured by HEW and with HEW paying the bank interest on the loan, went directly to the company. The indictment charged Coleman SALE SALE SALE Fri. Sat. Only APRIL 27 28 HUGE GERANIUM PLANTS Reds Pinks in Peak Condition Ready to Grow reg. $10 $12 EACH $325.
