RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, March 07, 1940

by Chanse Hall, Mount Ayr Record-News

Thressa SCHAEFER, a waitress in Mount Ayr, won the "tyopograhical Error" contest sponsored by Horne's Rexall Store in connection with the celebration of the 37th birthday anniversary of Rexall Stores, and was awarded a 22-piece set of Mirro aluminum. Miss SCHAEFER found 77 of a possible 80 errors in the printed circular announcing the birthday sale and completed the sentence "I prefer to trade at the Rexall Store because. . ." with "they sell quality merchandise at the right prices and give you courteous treatment without extra cost."

The faculty nosed out the businessmen in a hard-fought cage of 31 to 27. The starting lineup for the businessmen, managed by Emmet R. WARIN, was WHEELER, CROSS, Mike BEAMAN, DICKEY and DAVIS. These five were replaced by Brady BEAMAN, E. ROE, Cliff JOHNSON, R. JOHNSTON and DICKERSON. Mr. WARIN, BROWN and STEPHENS substituted freely during the game. GRIMES, JOHNSTON, WELAND, HENDERSON and MEYERS composed the lineup for the faculty, with three other members - BROWN, KNAPP and McFARFLAND - seeing action.

Mrs. Harold KEPLINGER has resigned as reporter for the Record-News, effective the first of March, when she and Mr. KEPLINGER moved to a farm in Grant township. Mrs. KEPLINGER had been in the employ of the county paper since May, 1937.

The young couple will be at home on a farm eight miles southwest of Mount Ayr.
