OCTOBER 9, 1969
The mystery of the month turned up at Hillsboro when city dads went to put up their big $100 "Home of Miss Kansas" street banner recently. They couldn't find it. The sign has been missing two weeks now, and there are no leads. The street banner was first used when Margo Schroeder returned triumphant after winning at Pratt last summer. Next it appeared at the Marion County Fair. But when it was to be put up for the recent Arts Festival, it couldn't be found.
