High Flood Waters, Empt Grandstand Top Local News A train passing through late at night in the rain . . . appointment of a Mexicoan to the new President's staff . . . moving government and business to new locations . . . the ringing of a bell . . . These are some of the events that headlined local news in 1968- 69. The funeral train carrying General of the Army and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower passed through Mexico at 11:47 p.m. Monday, March 31, on its way to Abilene, Kansas. Two thousand or more citizens turned out, despite the rain, to pay their last respects to the General. Eisenhower passed away after a long illness at 11:25 a.m. March 28. President Richard Nixon appointed Alan Woods, a 1963 graduate of Mexico High School and former Growl editor, to his White House press staff. Mexico citizens passed a bond issue for funds to buy and remodel the old Kaiser office building, mak- ing it suitable for a new city hall. The new hall was initiated in july. Construction of a new Florsheim shoe factory was delayed due to a number of problems. This caused the proposed opening for the first part of june to be delayed. The 90-year-old bell in the belfry of the First Presbyterian Church rang for the first time for a year Sunday, March 2. The bell was moved earlier to its new home in the recently built church at 400 Lake- view Road. Celeste Holme was present for the dedication of the new Mental Health Center in Mexico in july. The new center will serve the needs of Mexico and surrounding areas. Heaviest rainfall on record for june and early luly caused water in Mexico and the surrounding area to rise to flood proportions. Missouri Military Academy's new fieldhouse ttopj received 550,000 damage. An auction of fair paraphernalia on April 8 wiped out all traces of the well-known Audrain County Fair and its famous horse shows except for the grandstand, tcenterl now standing empty and deserted. Purchasers of the 50-acre site, the Mexico School Board and the city of Mexico plan a new middle school and a city recreation area. The last Northern and Western passenger train tbottomj passed through Mexico on Thursday, April 17. Passenger service ended because the public no longer had a need for railroad transportation. 48 Local News 4355? iw k,.......-.4 uw ..1a-A--vamp,-mr
