Government may face suit over major export restrictions
The National Association of Wheat Growers warns a court challenge will be pursued if export controls on grains and soybeans are imposed. The group has surpassed its $150,000 fund goal to finance immediate action, while recent purchases show large grain orders by the Soviet Union and rising U S concerns about world production and export limits.

Outdoor Bicentennial Service at Creston St Peter’s Site
An outdoor Fourth of July service was held in a Creston township grove once home to the area’s first Lutheran church. Participants wore Bicentennial clothing while hymns in English and German were sung as Rev. Thomas Chamberlin officiated. The dismantled church site still bears old brick steps and an organ and pulpit were transported on a flatbed. Some attendees recalled early church days and asked for a repeat service.
