But then Frasier became a grandfather and Frasier, not to be outmatched, fathered two more cubs of his own.

Frasier heads a pride of 11 lionesses. Even during his inactivity, they still pranced about, purring contentedly and catering to their patriarch.

The charm of it all was Frasier was pushing the human equivalent of 100 years old. The muscles in his mouth had given out during his stint as a circus lion in Mexico, his tongue flopped about incessantly and suffered in varying degrees from rheumatism, arthritis and a sorrowful case of bleary eyes. Just before the fears arose that Frasier might be through, a doubting reporter spent a whole day watching the Frasier phenomenon.

He won the draw Thursday night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move. The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game.

In succeding games they alternate. Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged be tween the two camps there was no sipi of personal animosity between the two. When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded. And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand. As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to hand and said, good The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled.

It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms. Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000 Fischer finally turned up July by then, Spassky was upset and threatened to pull cut. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in absence instead of disqualifying the American. Euwe, himself a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Major Reservoirs Assist In Control Of Big Floods Study Group Backs Lyons Pest Site At a recent meeting of the Greene County Community Development Study Group the topic of a Police Post in Lyons was discussed. The thinking was the Post would be an asset ior Greene County.

The group said: people in Greene Coun ty are aware of the fact that the Lyons community is being con sidered as a possible site for the location of one of four District State Police Posts. Twice the site location has been voted on favorably by the Site Loca tion Committee over other possible locations which are in Knox County. Why then is not the issue settled? One reason is that the people of Knox County are backing their locations. Many people in Greene County do not even know what is going on. "This post is more than just a Police Post.

It will be a district post. There will only be three others in the state like it. It will employ around twenty- eight (28) people. It will have an annual payroll of around $250,000. It will be a training post as well as a regular police post.

It will contain a crime laboratory, garage, shooting gallery, lock up, and sleeping quarters for trainees. "It stands to reason that this will benefit the Lyons Community, but it also follow that what is good for Lyons, is also good tor Greene County. "If the Chamber of Commerce at Vincennes and other towns in Knox County can push for Sandborn, why can not the people of Greene County get behind the community of Lyons and make their support felt.
