From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 27, 1971:

• Further news was emerging on the possible economic impact of the closing of the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant. The plant was due to complete its scheduled production by the first of July, and about 775 employees were to be laid off between June and next January. This was in addition to the 749 layoffs already planned before June. A staff of about 150 was to remain indefinitely to maintain the building in “layaway” status, keeping everything in good condition in case of future mobilization.
• Scientists were reporting that the moon rocks gathered by the Apollo 14 astronauts may have been older than any others formerly brought back to the earth. “The chances of finding 4.6 billion-year-old material among the samples appear to be very good,” said Dr. Paul Gast, chief of planetary science at Houston Space Center. Tests on some of the samples revealed that they had lain on the lunar surface for only nine to 14 million years and had been hurled up from the depths by meteorites crashing through the moon’s crust.
