Taffy the cat returns home after wandering
A two year old alley cat named Taffy repeatedly leaves the Koehler home for farms seven miles north and thirty miles south. After several returns, a trunk ride to Omaha and a hungry homecoming on October 25, Taffy now has a permanent home with the Koehlers. Osceola high school's band earns a superior rating at Lincoln festival with director Gene K. Dappen. The piece cites local fall sights and community notices including a Veterans Day plan and license reminders, plus a discussion on juvenile morality in St. Charles Missouri.
