Side Swipes and Courtroom Chairs in Franklin County
Franklin County commissioners sit more comfortably after receiving new chairs for the three. One member jokes about occupying an early judge's chair, while another tests his chair’s height. Ottawa University debaters head to Sterling College for postseason Kansas State Debate Conference, with four squad members listed. In London, Gloria Roden seeks divorce citing four birthday gift replies from her husband, but the court finds the humor eccentric, not cruel.

The same session extended for two years the authority to dispose of surplus farm commodities abroad or as disaster gifts, authorizing an extra 3½ billion dollars in disposal.
