• Shortly before daylight Wednesday morning a north-bound plane following a course along the bluffs east of the Missouri River dropped red flares with seeming regularity at distances of one-fourth mile. Several people in Fairfax saw the flares and folks living along the bluffs were somewhat excited about it, some fearing it might be an enemy plane. The plane was flying low and several people searched the ground where the flares appeared to fall, but found nothing. So far there has been no explanation of the incident.

• Over the Backfence by Nancy Gaines: “Congratulations to Fairfax Basketball King and Queen Brian Slaughter and Paula Easley. Both had outstanding nights on the basketball court and then were crowned king and queen at homecoming ceremonies. I also want to congratulate Dylan Sly on his 65 foot throw at the hoop, which went in at the Craig tournament. I know you did not expect the ball to swish through the hoop when you gave it a heave, but it did and that brought the crowd to its feet. Way to go, Dylan!”
