Nixon farm policy still vague and flexible plan eyed
Washington officials describe the Nixon administration’s proposed farm programs as skeletal yet adaptable for a congress seen as urban.

Dresslers Grocery to Close After 29 Years in Richland
Richland marks the closing of Dresslers Grocery after 29 years serving the area. Homer and Alverta Dressler opened Nov. 24, 1940, from Lebanon Illinois, with Mary Lou now 5. A 1962 fire caused stock loss and smoke damage. Longtime clerks Lucy Allen and Donna Jean Krewson each logged over two decades. The couple, active in the Christian Church and local groups, plan to stay in Richland with home projects, no retirement plans, and a quip about fishing.
