Plans are virtually complete for establishing a bus route from Mount Ayr to the south part of the county for the purpose transporting tuition pupils to and from Mount Ayr school. The transporation service is being inaugurated primarily for the purpose of serving the south part of the county where there are few town schools easily accessible for tuition pupiles. The new 36-passenger bus is 91 inches wide and 17 feet wide and is being purchased at an approximated cost of $1,500.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul CREWS moved Friday from Iowa City to Mount Ayr, where he has assumed the duties of pharmacist in Horne's Rexall Store.
