An editorial urges Monticello residents to recall the true meaning of Thanksgiving. It cites a low turnout for a Fast Day soup meal organized by the Monticello Ministerial Association to aid world hunger, and questions whether concern and generosity have diminished in the community.
The piece cites two congressional bills aimed at trimming taxpayer travel and limousine use to save millions. Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley questions why such spending-cut measures stall in committee, suggesting lawmakers prefer luxury over thrift.
The piece blends seasonal cheer with a reminder of loneliness during the holidays and notes a light early winter storm bypassing Monticello, Iowa. The author reflects on winter's variability, urges inclusion of the isolated, and ends with Thanksgiving wishes and a quip about editors.
The writer recalls a 30 year old Des Moines experience and a mass rally at the Statehouse for Iowa's Right to Work law. He notes orderly crowds, government officials speaking, and a broad sentiment that the law does not make freeloaders pay their share, viewing it as a step to weaken unionism.
The Monticello Education Assn proposes raising base pay from 6,850 to 7,150 for the 1971-72 school year in a Monday night submission to the school board. The district also discussed a 40,000 boost for faculty and administrative salaries in its budget.
