Barn Equipment Co Orders Thirteen Sacks of Castings For Gates

The Franklin Barn Equipment Company ordered thirteen sacks of castings weighing 70 pounds each to be shipped by parcel post this week. Castings arrived Monday morning and will be used to manufacture farm gates. G R Stuhler says castings are needed as no other source is available, keeping factory production afloat. Two Manchester gate makers have closed due to a casting shortage. Rev Leonard Duckett received a call to the Monticello Presbyterian church pastorate and plans to start in June after completing Auburn Seminary. Monticello recalls Duckett as a former Coe College gospel team member. Last Friday morning the first Monticello high school basketball team earned the numeral M with six players honored: Cushman, Laude, Rockstad, Shelley, Cilley, McLaughlin. Speeches by Cross, Florence Moses, Mary Jarman, Dunlap, and Cushman accompanied the ceremony. With Cushman departing, five lettermen remain and the team looks strong again.
