Drake resigns as auditor;
Ernest Bastow appointed
Ringgold county will have a new county auditor come Sept. 1. That's the word from the county board of supervisors who
accepted the resignation of Albert DRAKE Monday, effective Aug. 31. Filling in for the remainder of the term, which expires
with the 1968 general election, will be Ernest BASTOW of Tingley township. Action was taken by the board Monday to fill the
vacancy. The new auditor has had experience in public office; he served as a member of the county board of
supervisors from 1955 to 1963, inclusive. He was chairman of the board for four years. He also served nine years as a member of
the Tingley school board and for four years on the Tingley town council. For the past two years he has been employed
by Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Iowa as a hail damage adjuster in an eight-state area. He makes his home on
a 400-acre farm a mile and a half south of Tingley. In accepting the appointment, BASTOW said, "I will do my best
to carry on the business of the county auditor's office in an efficient and business-like way. The responsibility is a big
one, and I hope I shall be worthy of the appointment." DRAKE has served as Ringgold county auditor since Jan. 1, 1959. In
announcing his resignation, he said that he has accepted a position with the State Auditor's office which will involve
checking county records. Mr. and Mrs. DRAKE have sold
their farm, located eight miles southwest of Mount Ayr, to Raymond DRAKE. They will be moving in the near future to
Webster City, as soon as housing can be secured. Although Aug. 14 was DRAKE'S last day in the office, technically he is
on vacation and still a county employee until Aug. 31. The resignation will create an extra decision for voters on the
1968 general election ballot. According to state law, interim appointments run only until the next election. The office
must then be filled for the election time until the start of the next term, Jan. 1, 1969.
Big crowd watched old timer's game
Old Timers vs. Jaycees
The largest crowd of the season turned out Sunday night for the high point in the softball season. The crowd was entertained
by members of the old baseball team that was one of the finest in southwest Iowa in days gone by.Members of this team
who were present Sunday night were Clare JOHNSON, Jack MONAGHAN, Jim MARKLEY, Sam NEWTON, "Lefty" GEIST, Joe McNEILL, "Pee
Wee" HANNON, Harry SKARDA, Junior [JETER?], Blaine SHUPE, and Marvin REYNOLDS. Others [illegible, paper torn & deteriorated]
Bill RINEHART, Melvin ADAMS, Andy JOHNSON, Lyndon NICHOLS, Bill BRYAN, Calvin ADAMS, Billy BRECKENRIDGE and Skip GEPNER.
The manager of the team, Herman FENNEMA, was also present to make the line-up complete. Another highlight was the
appearance of Truman DUNLANY, who used to umpire some of the games for the old team. Truman umpired first and second and
was involved in many "questionable" calls. The fans seemed to enjoy watching the game as much as the Jaycees enjoyed
playing in it. The old timers showed they could still hit the ball with authority, with many of them getting good clean
hits.

It's State Far time. And I'm just enough of a small town boy to get a big kick out of attending the fair to see
the crowds, the color and the competition. From the carnival pitchmen to the youngsters with their livestock exhibits,
the fair is people. And what's more interesting than people-watching?

Zoo gets horned owl from Walkup family of Redding
The Children's Zoo in Des Moines gained an inhabitant recently through the generosity of Mike, Dale and John David
WALKUP, of Redding. Last April 10, Mike, 16, found a baby horned owl, just a little ball of fluff, which had fallen
from its nest in a tree in Alva MILLER'S pasture. He brought it home with him and he and his brothers, Dale, 15, and
John David, 10, made it a nest on their back porch and began feeding it a diet of bread and milk. They later found
a mouse for it and from then on it demanded a strictly meat diet. The boys caught mice in grain bins for it, and
begged hamburger from their mother, Mrs. Harold WALKUP. Al, as they named their pet, graduated from the back porch
to the basement. Then at not quite two months of age, they let it out to roost in trees near the house. But it would
always answer with a trill and clack of its beak when they called it. On the fourth of July, it took its first long
flight across the road to a grove on the Arch BAILEY farm. John David was afraid it was gone for good, but that night it was
back, apparently unable to hunt for itself. It shared food with the family's mother cat, but when Al choked a kitten
to death, the family decided something must be done. Mrs. WALKUP wrote offering Al to the Children's Zoo and received an
acceptance from the director, Bob Elgin, on July 15. By this time the family was so used to talking to the bird and to
having it sidle in the back door whenever it was invited that they told it about the letter. That night Al disappeared.
After two days of searching, Mrs. WALKUP heard it answer her and found it across at the far side of an oats field, behind
a fence and under low growing bushes. It apparently was unable to get out. Just before this, John David, very discouraged,
had told his mother, "You shouldn't have read him that letter." She brought the happy little owl home, with it nuzzling
against her, apparently glad to be back. In a few days she and John David delivered it to the zoo. The bird had
grown to the place where it was able to consume a pound and a half of liver in three days. When the WALKUPS go to visit Al
they are hoping the bird will still recognize them and that it is enjoying all the attention it is getting from the
visitors.
