Local caucus turnout shows slight gains in Moravia
In Moravia the Republican caucus drew 19 attendees and the Democrat caucus 4 as national candidates urged support. A straw poll favored Ford 10 to Regan 9 among Republicans, while Carter led Democrats with 10 votes. The piece also notes ongoing newsprint shortages from Canadian mills and a shift toward franchised chain operations in independent business.

Early History of Ben Allem Farm Bicentennial Century Farm Tale
Thomas Brandon recounts settlement episodes in Monroe and Lucas Counties from 1843 onward. He describes crossing prairie, locating Chariton Point, meeting Clarks, Dodge and Brophy on Mormon traces, 1846 land purchase, building roads, and later moves to Chariton Point. The narrative covers 1847 1849 and a California voyage in 1853, ending with present owners Ullem family.
