New Look for Maskell Monitor Chief and Johnson Pioneer
Western Kansas readers see a new look as the Maskell County Monitor Chief and Johnson Pioneer switch to an offset press in Ulysses under Don Waterman. Veteran editors Jay Baugh and Rolland Jacquart reflect on long ties, with Baugh joining under new ownership and Jacquart’s departure after 41 years. A $50,000 United Telephone expansion in Dighton will bury 37 miles of line south toward Finney County, upgrading service and preparing for future growth. Remembering 40 years ago: Hugoton threshers arrive, and Scott City discusses easing Christmas parking meters. Federal Highway No. 83 designation shifts from Kansas Highway No. 22, per 1929 notes.

Filly Billys a feminine protection club for women
In New York a fashion and self defense trend offers Filly Billys, 2 foot long clubs weighing one pound and priced at $9. Available in metallic and bright colors with a gold chain, they are pitched as slimmer and more feminine than police nightsticks. Designer Marilyn Baltar recalls the idea after a store visit and a near-encounter on an East Side street.
