District 54 News Highlights Local Mishap and Community Events
Wayne Willets' car wrecked near Ale Schott farm on highway 39 when Frank Laska lost control. Laska, Willets' driver, also took Willets' sister Donna to teaching duties. Local notices include illness of Leon Sayles in Kearney and various social visits. Community groups in Shelby and Rising City report meetings, a bake sale, and the WSCS tenth anniversary observance at New Wesley Methodist in Shelby. A newborn Peggy Anne joined the Iler and Schott families, and many Sunday visits framed a busy social scene.
