RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, December 28, 1961

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr

Wilbur FARIS of Liberty township was elected chairman of the board of directors of the Creston 4-H spring market swine show during the annual meeting. FARIS succeeds Guy HENDERSON of Lenox who had served in that capacity for the past two years. HENDERSON was re-elected to the board of directors as was Larry SCHLAPIA of Diagonal.

Winter made its debut early Friday morning with a light and innocent looking December snowstorm. The snow, unexpected in the state, and whipped by northerly winds, gained momentum throughout the morning and by afternoon a blizzard was raging in all parts of the state with the exception of northeast Iowa. By one o'clock Saturday morning, when the snow had stopped, 12 inches of new snow had been added to the 10 inches already on the ground, which brought the total snowfall for December to 22 inches.

Mount Ayr has been chosen as one of 64 sites for the 1962 girls sectional basketball tournaments, announcement of which has been made by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
