* And So They Say: Jody Sanders: “I’m looking forward to April when the Kansas Anthropological Society will have a dig near Alton.” Robert Osborn: “I was late for work on Tuesday morning because it took me so long to find my raincoat.” Leighton Marshall: “They didn’t put the flags out for my birthday, but everyone wore something green.” * Approximately 140 4-H members and leaders from Rooks and Phillips Counties had attended the Sander Brothers (Freeman, Delbert,andGeorge) Livestock Judging School and Contest. Six classes of livestock were judged in the contest. The Sander Brothers furnished Angus heifers and fat hogs, Hereford steers were furnished by Larry Dix, and sheep were furnished by Bernard and Rodney Carsten. The top three placings in the older division went to Ted Odle and Richard Eggers (tie), followed by Alton Hazen and Rodney Carsten. The three high in the younger division went to Donnie Lowry and Gale Maddy, with a three-way tie for third between Larry Riffel, Mark LeSage, and Mike Muir.
