Popcorn, long a staple in often pinch-colored food budgets, has production roots in early Kansas and Oklahoma. The Kaw Valley around Lawrence
The Bartlett family, founders of Fenders, arrived in the Kansas City area after being branched out into the grocery store and bake shop business in 1953.
TNT popcorn, one of the six ranking popcorn producers and manufacturers in the world, the military commissaries around the world began in 1943.
In 1867, their enterprise became the Barteledes Seed Co., with the popcorn branch spinning off as a separate corporation 85 years later. In 1901, toting Barréedes, president of TNT Food Products since 1963.
"I CHOSE the popcorn end of the family business following my World War II service," he said. "I learned that the only place Kansas isn't the breadbasket of the nation but one of the best places to grow popcorn in the country." The farmers grew from 10 to 250 acres of yellow popcorn for TNT each season. Iowa has the monopoly on about a quarter of its business.
"I contract popcorn acreage with the local farmers and furnish my own hybrid seed for the fall when farmers bring their fall when farmers bring their

"My employees have popcorn downstairs in their lounge most all the time," Barteldes said.
DURING the winter months, when more people apparently sit at home by the fireplace and eat popcorn, Bartelies adds three or four more employees to his staff of 250 popcorns all day at KRU.

This is Rosenbaum's opinion of people who own Volkswagens. We also show that variations of VW's are overwhelmingly the most unpredictable in nature.
He said that by working with counterparts in the department of personnel in Topeka he was sure this could be amended.
"This is because the employees of the medical center are on a state civil service scale," Smith said.
Pay Scale Hampers KUMC Recruitment
Inequities in the salary scale of the University of Kansas Medical Center, as compared to neighboring city hospitals is the biggest problem of recruitment facing the medical center, accused of Bedford "Pete Smith," newly-named director of personnel.
Everyone in the state is paid on the same scale even though the standard of living is highest in Kansas City, Smith said.
Fifteen positions are available for professional and technical persons and clerical openings number about 50.
According to Smith, there are 175 openings at the medical Over 100 of these are for the nurses—RN, LPN, and orders.
"Many of the trained staff at KUMC stay on with us in fact, probably a majority of our students are from KU." Smith said.
Although Smith's office does not hire PhD.'s and physicians, it does handle a staff of over 3.500.
"Much of our work has to do with employment classification, employ benefits, insurance, and retirement," Smith said.
Smith said that he was planning an extensive recruitment campaign in the future to staff

The beat has attracted quite a lot of attention since a Louisiana. A hiker was reported sighting a tall, black hairy creature near their house in the woods.
The head of the Internation UFO Bureau in Oklahoma City, Hayden Hewes, thinks the monster is seriously serious. Hewes has several ideas of what the monster might be. He could it be a gorilla, it could be a creature from a UFO or it could be a troglodyte, or he could not, he said, "Personally I learn toward the troglodyte theory."

Frequently teachers work in clerical departments and prove to be excellent secretaries, he said.
During the Kansas Indian summer, from September and October through December, people are still taking about the marijuana harvest. Raw Valley is the first place to grow marijuana.
KUMC is the third hospital Smith, Senae native, has served in as personnel director. He spent years working with Missouri Medical Center and has recently come from the University of Arkansas Anderson Hospital in Houston.
"I accepted this position at KU because it is prestigious and it is nice to be among such a fine group. Smith said.

Pollution Study Set
An interdisciplinary team from the University of Kansas has developed a program to study air pollution in Kansas City-Topocha corridor region, according to Robert Eastmont, research associate in the area.
Eastmond said, "During recent years air pollution levels have been increasing as a result of urbanization and growth pat- tion." The city-Tupela corridor has been a relatively clear air region."
The team organization was widaded during the exploratory period and oriented approach involving investigators from meteorology, geography, chemistry, economics, and architecture and urban design, said
Studies have been initiated to determine present levels of air pollution and their effects on vegetation and climate within the region, and have been initiated to determine the social implications of the studies.

The overall objective of the corridor air pollution program are: determine the effects of air pollution on human health in mid-America, couple KU's remote sensing expertise and the information gained to advance the art of detecting and analyzing pollution and its effects on the ecosystem; and evaluate the determined levels of pollution and effects in terms of social implications, and develop strategies for acquiring information into urban and regional planning tools.

DAVE BROYLES gets the facts, and will use them to support your needs and interests.
There isn't a candidate in Lawrence who won't pledge to support the University's requests. The question is, how does each candidate propose to do this?
Dwight Boring has proposed a no-cut approach. He will attempt to restore all cuts made by the Board of Regents. I don't think this approach can be effective.
Position on University Budget:
The cuts made by the Regents are part of a statewide budgetary accounting procedure that includes most other state agencies as well. The state has no necessary requests and to balance the state budget.
Consequently, anyone who tries to circumvent the Regents' entirely will be ignored by the Law.
I propose instead to support the Regents' requests and to attempt to add one additional item each year. If some of these attempts are considered long-term budget should be considerably improved.
I welcome your questions on issues.

In the 1951 flood, Bartlettes left a good portion of his crop when he died. The crop submerged. At least one carload of TNT canned food acquired by the farm.
BARTELDES has weathered national dock strikes and warehouse and railroad strikes that hurt his international reputation, with the military. In 1985 his whole plant was gutted by fire.
The old brick walls of the original, seed company warehouse, constructed by local brick manufacturers, withstood the blaze, but a completely up-to-date machine was built with the latest machinery.
The 1985 additions were made with the hope of expanding the range of popcorn demand holds. Bardet cheese is an increase production sometime.

A CASTLE IN LAWRENCE?
The Castle win built in 1854 as a home for J. N. Roberts, a retired Civil War general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patients on wooden containers carried in the ship.
Probably few know the legend of the enchanting Castle Tea Room that reigns compartmentally on Massachusetts Street.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is finished in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently in use are elegantly finished in birch, cherry, oak, walnut, sycamore and pine. The wood carving was all done by Sidney Endacott of England, a brother of Frank Endacott of Lawrence. Sidney Endacott became an sculptor and artist and some of his
The tower, which gives the old castle appearance, has a stairway leading to the third floor. Above the tower room is a root garden which, in bigne days, was shaded with ownings and used during the summer months. The ballroom with spacious window seats on the third floor is available for private parties.
There are five beautiful fireplaces in the house, each a unique design with various colored marble and brick. The original dining room is very ornate with an unusual built-in sideboard and cloak closet. A recess cluster of mirrors and stained glass window above the fireplace gives the effect of an altar in a chapel.
If you have never been inside the Castile Tea Room, come and dine in the only restaurant in Lawrence with such a beautiful historical and cultural background. The only way to really enjoy it is to walk down the street and try some of its past recipes.
