"Is this park more important than our livelihood and farm?" he said. Calvert said that due to drainage considerations, and the location of a cemetery and Indian mounds near Hershey Avenue and elsewhere, running the highway along the west edge of the park might not be feasible. Calvert told the council that if the project proceeds on schedule, construction on the stretch of highway between Grandview Avenue and Mulberry Avenue will begin this spring. into the county for more than two miles.

George Sisson, DOT road design engineer, told the council that the entire two-mile tract for the road would have to be surveyed and the rights of way would have to be sought from different people Much of the right of way for the road's section west of town, which is to be graded and built first, already has been purchased. Calvert told the council "that the federal highway commission would frown otrlraving the highway pass he said. "Last summer it was back on the drawing board because they had to go around some Indian mounds they found on the bluff." Calvert said that the replanning this summer corrected errors that had been made in the original plan due to terrain features which weren't seen in aerial photographs. The Stanges feel betrayed by what they see as an unnecessary shift in the city's early plans. "I was born and raised on that farm," Don Stange said.

"It's a good Jittle farm1 By JON CARLSON Staff writer Plans for building the U.S. Highway 61 bypass around Muscatine will proceed without pause even though the proposed highway will cut a small farm west of town nearly in half. The farm's owners, Ray and Don Stange, appeared before the Muscatine City Council at its in-depth session Thursday night to ask that the highway's route be moved to avoid at least part of'their property. The hTghway as currently planned would pass through the center of the Stange farm, putting about 15 acres under concrete and they'll have to ask: 'Why can't it be delayed one year more, or Calvert, deputy director of the department's highway division- told the council that the department's uncertain financial status in the present and the future could make any further delay more or less permanent. Muscatine Mayor Evelyn Schauland, who has often represented the city in talks with the DOT, said that she could not abide wittrstopping just months before its construction was proposed to start.

The loss of 30 acres nearly halves the 80-acre operation. Change might delay road The council, fearful of losing the chance to have the road built immediately, denied any hope of changing the highway plans. George Calvert oCjthe Iowa Department of Transportation told the council that if the highway is to be moved, its construction will have to be delayed at least a year. Years of negotiation between city and DOT officials lead to the project's tentative scheduling for next year.

Calvert warned that if the city pressing the department and its commissioners to build the bypass quickly chooses to delay it, the entire future of the project could be threatened. "The commissioners are only human," Calvert said. "If they see it's voluntarily delayed one year, violent," Schauland said. Feel promise broken But the Stanges said they feel the city effectively broke a promise when it moved its original highway plans west and into their farm. City officials told residents west of town years age that land up to the east edge of the Stange farm should be annexed to the city to make room for the bypass within city limits.

But the addition of Fuller Park to the city in the mid '70s pushed the highway west out of the city limits and through the center of the Stange farm. The Stange farm is located between Iowa Highway 22 and the extension of Lucas Street, just southwest of the park. Attorney Robert DeKock, speaking for the Stanges, asked the city to consider giving up the western 250 feet of the park, so that the highway could run straight south along the Muscatine city limits and not jog out I Ll 1 u.s. ana Israel vow to work toward Mideast peace STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -The Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded to two Americans and a Swede today for research on the human brain. The prize went to Dr.

Roger W. Sperry of California Institute of Technology and Harvard professors David Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel of Sweden Sperry received one half of the prize this year worth a record 1 million kronor, the equivalent of $180,000 for discoveries concerning "the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres (brain halves)," the Karolinska Institute of Medicine announced. Hubel and Wiesel shared the other half for discoveries concerning "information processing in the visual system." The NOftel committee silt he showed how a lack of visual stimulation in infancy "for example through errors in the lens system of the eye may lead to a permanent impairment of the ability of the brain to analyze visual impressions." Reached in Boston, Wiesel's reaction to the announcement was "Oh no, I was afraid of that Maybe I should go and hide." The prize for medicine was the first to be announced in this year's Nobel series. For the eighth consecutive year Americans won a share of the coveted medicine award.

Sperry, born in Hartford, in 1913 is a Harvard alumnus who worked at the University of Chicago from 1946-53, at the National Institutes of Health and, from 1954, as professor of psychobiology at Cal Tech.

In 1954, he joined Johns Hopkins University, and went on to the Harvard Medical School in 1959.

He became professor of neurophysiology at Harvard in 1965. He has served as the George Packer Berry professor of neurobiology at Harvard since 1968. He won the Albert Lasker Medical award in 1979.
