$7 Maroa Board Meets Tonight W. D. Keyes, ousted superintendent of the Maroa Community Unit District schools, probably will get a reply to his formal request for a public hearing from the Maroa Board of Education tonight. A regular 1 meeting of the board is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the high school.

It has not been decided yet at radio station WSOY whether the station tape recorder will be taken to the meeting. If it is, however, it is certain there will be no repetition of the incident last week when news reporter Harold Jensen and the recorder were ordered out of the meeting. The Maroa Board and its attorney T. H. Armstrong Saturday backed down on its stand against recording devises and said that all types of communication equipment would be welcome in the future.

Tonight's meeting is slated to be largely routine. The board will consider Keyes' request for a hearing and has indicated it probably will set the date in May. If this is done, there probably will be considerable objection from Keyes, who wants the hearing scheduled before the April 10 elections. Jensen and WSOY Lauded for Stand WSOY News Reporter Harold Jensen this morning reported that the radio station has received support from all around the country on its stand against the Maroa Board's ban on tape' recorders at its meeting last week. Particularly a gratifying, Jensen said, was a letter Dick Chever-1 ton, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, president of the Iowa Radio-TV News Association.

Enclosed was a copy of a letter sent by Cheverton to the Maroa Board criticizing its stand. The board has since backed down and said it will permit tape recorders in the future. Hadden Rites Funeral services for Benjamin Hadden, 80, of Rural Route 1, Oakley, will be at 2 p. m. Tuesday in the Cerro Gordo Methodist Church with burial in Bement Cemetery.

Mr. Hadden died Saturday in Chicago while visiting a son, Denzil. The Freese Funeral Home, Cerro Gordo, is in charge. First Methodist Extends Drive Solicitation of funds for the proposed addition to First Methodist Church will be continued, Chairman Dean Madden announced last night after reports at the scheduled final meeting of fund collectors showed the church to be short of its $300,000 goal. About $33,000 still is needed for the building fund.

Pledges amounting to $37,321 were added last night. the pledges to the fund have been $92,000 from the drive workers, $15,000 from the women's group, $86,000 in special gifts and $2,455 from the high school youth group. The junior high age group has given $750 to the drive and the children of sixth grade and younger collected $165 in cash in a special "earn and give" week. The church anticipates raising some of the additional pledges from members of the congregation who are out of town on winter vacations, Chairman Madden says. MRS.
