Paving Highway 67 Bluff to State Line Planned
Butler county boosters push concrete paving of Highway 67 from Route 14 to the Arkansas line.

Work would begin on bridges and grading, with concrete paving possibly in spring to avoid winter detours. Detours will run from Poplar Bluff to the State line during construction. The goal aims to reduce dangerous conditions blamed for fatal accidents on the route.

Senate approves home guard bill amid national guard call up
The Senate passed a bill authorizing state home guards to operate where national guards have been federalized. It returns to the House with amendments granting the secretary of war control over the new units. Proponents say the change addresses labor concerns and blocks vigilante groups. The measure would amend the 1916 defense act to expand state troops beyond the National Guard as governors seek substitute forces during peace-time training.
