The second Salk polio shots will be given Thursday, Sept. 1, at the schoolhouse in Mount Ayr, according to Milt
HENDERSON, Ringgold county chairman of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The first polio shots were
administerd in May and all children in Ringgold county who attended the first and second grades during the last school
year are eligible to receive the second shots of Salk polio vaccine.
Bill DAUGHTON, Kellerton, showed a highly finished Herford steer to grand champion honors last week in the Ringgold
county junior livestock show, against sme of the stiffest competition in several years. The reserve grand champion
steer was a neatly fitted Shorthorn owned by Larry BROWN of Lamoni. Marvin LESAN of Kellerton swept the hog show with the
grand champion market pig, first place pen of three and first place market litter in one of the largest market hog showings.
Miss Louise WEISSHAAR, administrator of the Ringgold County Hospital, will be the guest speaker at the regular meeting of
the hospital auxiliary scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 13. Miss WEISSHAAR, who returned last week from a two-months
tour of Europe, will relate highlights of her trip abroad.
An extensive remodeling, reparing and redecorating program in the Mount Ayr school building has been completed. Three
more classrooms were provided to handle the increased enrollment by constructing partitions in the music room and the
study hall in the old building. The extra space gained from the music room will be used as a second grade room. Included
among the most important repairs, and probably the most expensive, was the installation of 33 new window sashes on the lower
story of the old building. The carpenter work was done by Dudley WATTS and his crew of workmen. Much of the repair work
and painting were done by the regular custodians, Gerald YOUNG and Raymond WALTER. During the past month, Coach Joe
McNEILL has also been on the job.
