Four Baldwin school district children were slightly injured when the brakes failed on a school bus in which they were riding.

Walter Heck, 55, prominent area farmer and businessman, died at his farm home, the victim of an apparent heart attack. He long had been active in a wide range of important activities here.

The local school tax levy was lowered 5.83 mills and the final total for most of the district was to be 36.6 mills for the coming year.
