The 49th County Fair conducted under the auspices of the McLeod County Agricultural Association at Hutchinson is in full swing as of this writing. It’s the best fair ever, there’s no doubt about it. The exhibits are large and comprehensive, the races and other attractions are high class, and the nightly shows, with a half-hour fireworks display, have proven to be popular with at least 1,500 people attending.

Hutchinson Meat Market Levels look a lot like Mother Hubbard’s closet. The situation looks pretty grim, although none of the city’s meat markets expect to get to the point where there is absolutely nothing to be had. The quota of meat that markets are legally allowed to process has been reduced to 1944 levels, but stocks of meat are lower than that year because meat-packing plants cannot supply anything.

A $ 200,000 item In a proposed 1971-1972 budget of nearly $ 7 million for School District 423, there was another go-around at the school board meeting. The $ 200,000, a new item in the 1970-1921 budget, was questioned during a public budget hearing. Entered as a construction fund, the $ 200,000 was budgeted for the current fiscal year in October 1970 before the school bond issue in November 1970. The use of the $ 200,000 was originally intended for the bond and interest payment for the construction program, which consisted of a new Hutchinson area vocational technical school after voters rejected the new high school and renovated elementary school part of the bond issue.

Popular platform: Regarding the person who called about the Junior-Senior Egg War. You probably can’t accept that your child isn’t the perfect angel you think she is.

Popular platform: Hutchinson Gas and Electric provided a free gas furnace safety check. Then, because the heating and plumbing (companies) complained about taking their jobs, the gas company stopped doing it all together. I think if enough of us complained we could get the free service back. The gas company doesn’t take any repair work, it just offers security.
