He Indicated that there is a
good chance some areas may not
have been adversely effected at
all by the heat wave.
Because of the smaller crop,
less employees are needed at the
elevators. Ample storage is ex
pected for the harvest at the
elevators. Most government grain

Unlt-A Is an eight room build

of town. Two access roads are
being constructed and will be
In use before the beginning of

the county road near the siaugn

A feature of the new building
is the heat pumps whicTr will
provide air conditioning and

Architects for Unit-A are Hay

constructed at an approximate
cost of $145,000. Of this $130,00
comes from a special serial levy
and $15,000 from budgeted
school funds.
