session. Elementary pupils will go to the respective home rooms in their own attendance center. Sixty-seven teachers

Ninety-three percent of the vote case at the special election, held Monday in Mount Ayr, was in favor of granting

period of 25 yars. A total of 70 votes was cast, 65 in favor of the proposition and five against. Judges and clerks

The subscription rate of the Record-News will be increased 50-cents per year -- from $3 to $3.50 -- effective
on all subscriptions expiring on or after September 1, 1958. The single copy rate will be increased from seven cents
to eight cents. The increase of slightly less than a penny a week per subscriber becomes necessary on account of
constantly increasing costs of production which, of course, include the new postal rates.
