News, deals, and help wanted, mid-August 1973

By JIM

Fifty years ago this week, the front page of the Adair County News announced Dr. James C. Salato's two-year appointment to the state Fish and Wildlife Commission, and a photo showed the swearing in ceremony.

This page also informed readers the Edmonton to Bowling section of the newly opened Cumberland Parkway had collected close to $28,000 in toll monies in July. (The Columbia to Edmonton section opened shortly this item appeared.)

And too, controversy swirled over which horse actually won the Adair County Derby. In the incredibly close race, the judges had declared Mr. Rivers as the winner, but a finish line photo published in this edition of the paper indicated Musketeer, owned by Thomas Downey and trained by Charles Perkins, had nosed the line first.
