Fromm steps down after eight years as Flagg Township assessor
Fred Fromm will leave the Flagg Township assessor post at year end after eight years in office. The 66-year-old former District One state policeman did not seek re election in April. He extended office hours to aid residents and said most complaints vanish after explanations. He expects the job to become full time due to growth and increased supervision requirements. Fromm plans private life activities and occasional courthouse bailiff work after retirement.

Women from Dallas to Yuma urge designers to target older full figures, better fabrics, comfortable shoes, and easier pantyhose.
