Evacuation in Kentucky as chlorine threat grows
In Louisville's Portland district a chlorine laden barge stranded at McAlpine Dam prompted mandatory evacuation of about 4800 residents and relocation of hospital patients. A wider northwest area faced voluntary evacuation while plans to move chlorine to other barges unfold under constant patrols and a catamaran-towed transfer system. Authorities say the leak risk remains remote but salvage work dominates the crisis.

Court Action Puts State Education Board in Tizzy
In Topeka Kansas the federal court reapportionment of the Kansas Senate leaves the state education board districts unsettled. The state law fixes board districts to four continuous senatorial districts and only the legislature can redraw them. The attorney general's office says no plan to shift authority from the legislature to the court. Possible paths include a special session to redraw districts or waiting for the 1973 legislature. Mrs Shanahan orders notices of election prepared for local officials.

Ingenious Christmas Lights Beat Cold in Southwest Kansas
In Southwest Kansas, resident Acy Hall wrapped outdoor Christmas tree lights around fruit trees to generate heat and protect an apricot and peach crop as snow fell. Neighbors observed the display, noting the wintery scene while weather chatter and a palm-Sunday forecast add local color. A second neighbor and a farm-magazine tip about snow and fertilizer also surface as holiday-season small talk.
