"MY GRANDAD was a wagon maker," Selzer said, picking up a wagon wheel hub. "When automobiles in came in, wagons went plumb out."
"I used to tell grandma, 'I don't wanna make no damn wagons. I wanna be a mechanic,' he said. "But, it didn't hurt me anyway. You can never learn too much."
Selzer foraged about the plies of machine parts in the room. Buggy spokes, horse yokes, carpenters' aprons and buggy wrenches passed through his calloused
Coming from a family of craftsmen,
Seize said he could build almost anything.
And, if he didn't know how, he simply read
a book and tried it, he said.
"THERE ANN'T nothing I won't try."
Saler said.
Despite Selzer's bubbly appearance, which he attributes to hard "smitting" work, he's a little slower than he used to be, he said.
"To used to, quick as I got something in my stomach I was ready to work again," Seizer said, leaning near a window thick with billowy cobwebs. "Dad used to get kindies to play with you. You now know what feel like going all the time. Now know what be meant."
Seizer said that some relatives had tried persuade him to visit other relatives in Govenment offices.
SELZER SAID he would probably quit "smiling" in a few years and concentrate on farming his 160 acres, cattle and rice. He was also to have a wife's wishes and take a vacation, he said.
"They're well off over there in Germany, them Seizers. They have a factory with 700 employees," he said. "But I don't think I understand it. I do not have any faith in airplanes."
Ceremony to honor high school seniors
Outstanding high school seniors from Marion and McPherson counties will be honored at 7 on tight by the University of Mississippi. The event will be held at McPheron's Limited Methodist Church.
At the ceremony, Chancellor Archie Dykes will present a special plaque to one of the seniors, the 10,000th student honored by the KU Honors Program.
The program, begun six years ago, encourages Kansas communities to promote education and recognize outstanding students.
Eighty students will attend the program from Centre, Canton-Galva, Goessel, Hillibarou, Inman, Lindsborg, Marion, Peabody-Burns high schools and Peabody-Burns high schools.
ridiculous he had heard on the subject. He said the opponents argued mostly moral reasons.
Marijuana bill . . .
"But this is Kansas," Ungerleider said. "This is America 100 years ago. It's sort of fun to come to Kansas and go back in time 100 years."
From page one
Glover's bill, if it becomes law, would reduce penalties for possession of two ounces or less of marijuana to a maximum fine of $100. Those arrested for marijuana wouldn't be jailed and, after two years, wouldn't have a record of their arrest.
NOW, SIMPLE possession is punishable by a $2,500 bill and one year in prison. A second conviction is a felony that could result in a $5,000 bill and up to 10 years in prison.
Besides Abbott and Ungerleider, other proponents of Glover's till yesterday were the Rev. Richard Taylor, director of the Kansas United Dry Forces; Pat Hatcher, vice president of the Kansas City where marijuana was criminalized in 1973; Jim Concannon, a Washburn University professor of law; Lance Burr, a Lawrence attorney and a former state assistant attorney general, and Doug Williams, a former director of the Associated Students of Kansas.

Horton agreed with Albott that strict marijuana laws resulted in lax enforcement. Since Oregon reduced marijuana penalty possessions, Horton said, possession arrests have increased 65 per cent.
However, Horton said that the new laws had freed court dockets for more serious crimes and that "the jails are full of people who belong there."
A federal study indicated that actual marijuana use hadn't increased in Oregon since possession was decriminalized, Horton said.
Ritchie, shaking with emotion as he spoke, said, "I've got parent after parent with kids who're all stoned-out, sleeping in a car. We're all going to have given them up trying to control them."
Ritchie said that even though he hadn't "sent a kid to jail for a joint since Christ was a coralor", he thought Kansas needed marijuana laws as a deterrent.
Albott said he would favor Glover's bill if it were amended to decrease the maximum amount from two ounces to one and three ounces, in gifts of gifts of marijuana wouldn't be punishable.
