August action foretells busy Buffalo Center sports scene
The Buffalo Center region anticipates a busy August with football preparations under Coach Claude Post for the 1972 Bison season, opening Sept 8 against Thompson Cubs, plus grand opening of Robo Automatic Car Wash by Albin Nelson and Lindy Quaine. Fishing at Big Detroit Lake yielded northern catches, a 41% pounder by John Preston of Mankato, while walleye eluded the group. Local resort upgrades at Long Bridge Resort near Detroit Lakes draw visitors. Ray of Dell-Ray’s Superette shows off a sunburn from poolside. Governor Reagan’s remarks on fashion and education amuse readers in a light political note.

Abortion plank topic at Iowa convention faces strike
The draft platform repeats a two year old abortion plank asserting that pregnancy terminations are medical concerns not legal ones. A move at the convention may strike the section leaving the platform silent on abortion. Mitchellville updates include Mrs Carter resigning after 29 years as superintendent of the state training school for girls and Harold Sadderis also stepping down. A legislative study panel criticized institutional policies as girls there were reportedly cut off from newspapers radios and mail. Woodward hospital audit shows irregularities and possible grand jury review is urged. Bates named to state conservation commission to fill an unexpired term ending June 30 1975.
