Dear editor,
Moran Day is Saturday, with the parade starting at 11 a.m.
Again this year, I will be on our trolley to explain the way Moran looked when I moved there in 1944.
It was quite the railroad town then. My dad started working on the M.K.T. in Jennings, Okla., in 1940. He worked on a bridge and building crew from Oklahoma City to Parsons for a couple of years and got transferred to the Parsons to Kansas City line. There were five men from Moran and their foreman from Oklahoma. They lived in bunk cars and had a dining car and a cook. They travelled to their job on motor cars. When they finished a job in one town, the locomotive hooked on to the bunk cars and put them on another siding for their next job. It wasnt ideal, but it was a job.
The Katy ran north-south through Moran and the Missouri-Pacific ran east-west. That called for a tower operator where the lines crossed at the south edge of town. The trains, of course, were steam engines and there was a water tower and coal and sidings on the north side of town. There were still passenger cars, dining cars and Pullmans on both lines. We got free passes but the farthest I ever went was to Corpus Christi, Texas and Colorado Springs. We went a lot to Oklahoma City to visit relatives or Kansas City.
Moran was a great place to live in the 1940s and 50s when I was growing up. It still was in the 1970s when my five children were in their teens. There were two full blocks both sides of Main Street and not an empty building.
I will tell you all about the many businesses on the tour. Im amazed I can still remember all of their names.
In the 1940s, Highway 54 came right down Main Street. Before Dutch Elm disease laid claim to our elm trees, the stately trees hung over the street like a canopy and everyone white-washed their trunks for special occasions.
Things changed in the 1950s when the new U.S. 54 bypassed Moran, Bronson and Uniontown and then Highway 59 bypassed Elsmore, Savonburg and Stark. Too bad there isnt a different word than progress to use.
Norma Sager-Stahl,
Iola, Kan.
60 Years Ago
September 1958
Iola public schools have an enrollment of 1,761, a gain of 31 over last year at the same time. For a number of years it has been expected the senior high would reach an enrollment automatically lifting the school from Class A to AA. This weeks rise carried Iola High to 473 and 475 is the dividing line. Iola High was AA briefly a number of years ago. Enrollment in recent years, however, did not increase as it once was expected to do.
*****
The board of education approved the organization of a competitive debate team for Iola High School at its regular September meeting last night. Once a fixture at the school, debate has been off the program for a number of years. A survey by Keith Akins, speech and dramatic instructor, revealed that 29 students were interested in trying out for a debate squad.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Americans is testing young players to get the United States back to the World Cup in 2022. Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson and goalkeeper Zack Steffen are giving glimpses they might be able to help.
Adams scored his first international goal, four minutes after Angel Zaldivar was ejected for a studs-up tackle, and the United States rebounded from a poor first half for a 1-0 victory over Mexico on Tuesday night, the Americans first win over their rival in three years.
We wanted to show our character and pride for the country, and we went out there and battled at times, Adams said. Maybe at the beginning the soccer wasnt there completely, it got a little chippy at times, but we handled ourselves well.
Adams, a 19-year-old who made his national team debut last November, scored after Kellyn Acosta passed to a sprinting Antonee Robinson on the left flank. Robinson crossed for Adams, who one-timed the ball from the penalty spot past goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez, who played his first match for El Tri at age 28.
Hes a winner this kid, and I think Ive been really pleased in terms of his growth with the ball in tight spots, U.S. interim coach Dave Sarachan said. We know that he can run and cover ground and win tackles and compete. But at the next level now can you do the next part? And thats have a presence with the ball and picking your spots so it just keeps getting better.
The left-footed Robinson, burned by Douglas Costa with a cross that led to Brazils opening goal in a 2-0 loss Friday, had replaced right-footed Eric Lichaj at left back in the 56th minute.
I just saw the defenders dropping really deep toward the goal so I cut it back across so hopefully someone could get on the end of it, and thankfully Tyler did, Robinson said. And it was a really great finish.
Adams called Robinsons cross good timing with the ball trickling right to him.
So watching it was like in slo-mo, the ball just came to me and I was able to finish it, Adams said.
Mexico played a man short after Zaldivar took down U.S. captain Wil Trapp in the 67th minute, and the U.S. immediately surged in its attack.
U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie was replaced in the 40th minute after what appeared to be a non-contact injury to his left knee. McKennie will have a scan Wednesday.
The U.S. now has three wins, two losses and three draws under Sarachan, who took over last October after Bruce Arena quit when the Americans failed to qualify for the World Cup. New general manager Earnie Stewart plans to announce a permanent coach later this year.
The Americans had two losses and a tie in their previous three matches against Mexico, including a home defeat and a road draw in World Cup qualifying. Sarachan liked how his team kept their composure.
This was a group that wasnt going to lose tonight, and I couldnt be more proud, Sarachan said.
Since opening the World Cup with wins over defending champion Germany and South Korea, Mexico has lost four straight games for the first time since 2001. Losses to Sweden and Brazil and the World Cup were followed by an exhibition defeat to Uruguay, with El Tri outscored 10-1 over the four matches.
There were few chances in the first half, when both teams showed little creative flair.
The match between the regional rivals became heated in the second half. Edson Alvarez was given a yellow card for bumping Matt Miazga after the 6-foot-4 American mocked Diego Lainez, who was defending him despite being nearly a foot shorter.
A crowd of 40,194 turned out for the game at Nissan Stadium, one of the sites on the proposed preliminary list for 2026 World Cup matches.
Sarachan made six changes from Friday and his lineup averaging 23 years, 5 days, the youngest starting lineup for the Americans against Mexico since at least 1990.
Mexico changed 10 starters from Friday and gave debuts to Gonzalez, defenders Jose Abella and Gerardo Arteago, and midfielder Erick Aguirre.
LISBON, Portugal (AP) The chair umpire who penalized Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final has spoken publicly for the first time since the match, saying he is fine.
Ramos, who is from Portugal, spoke briefly to Portuguese newspaper Tribuna Expresso this week.
Im fine, given the circumstances, Ramos said, according to the newspaper. Its a delicate situation, but umpiring a la carte doesnt exist. Dont worry about me.
The newspaper said Ramos received hundreds of messages of support from family, colleagues, players and former players. He said he has avoided social media and only reads balanced articles about the incident. He also refrained from going out the day after the final to avoid problems, according to the report.
The International Tennis Federation has defended Ramos for his actions during the final. The U.S. Open fined Williams for her three code violations.
The WTA later called for equal treatment of all tennis players and coaching to be allowed across the sport.
Ramos has been assigned to officiate the Davis Cup semifinal matches between the United States and Croatia, a best-of-five series which begins Friday and ends Sunday in Zadar, Croatia.
BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox became the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this season, rallying on pinch-hitter Brock Holts go-ahead home run in the seventh inning to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 Tuesday night.
The Red Sox assured themselves at least a spot in the AL wild-card game while reaching the postseason for the third straight year. The AL East leaders began the night with an eight-game lead over the New York Yankees.
Boston starter Chris Sale came off the disabled list and pitched one scoreless inning, striking out two and throwing 26 pitches. Sale has been slowed by inflammation in his left shoulder, and the Red Sox had said they would ease their ace back into action.
Ryan Brasier (2-0) got the win with 1 1/3 innings of hitless relief as Boston used seven relievers after limiting Sale in his return.
Ryan Tepera (5-5) took the loss.

Jose Fernandez hit his first career home run for the Angels in the second inning, adding another milestone to the 30-year-old Cubans rookie season after making his major league debut June 8.
The Angels starting rotation was decimated by injuries this season, paving the way for what was the fifth bullpen game of the season. Jim Johnson made his second career start and pitched 1 1/3 innings. He was followed by Noe Ramirez, Hansel Robles, Cam Bedrosian, Justin Anderson and Jose Alvarez, who combined to get through seven innings without giving up a hit.

CUBS 3, BREWERS 0
CHICAGO (AP) Jose Quintana pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning, Victor Caratini drove in two runs and Chicago regained its two-game lead in the NL Central.

Jorge De La Rosa pitched a perfect eighth and Pedro Strop finished the three-hitter for his 13th save in 17 chances.
Milwaukee (83-63) had won seven of eight, including a 3-2 victory in the series opener that trimmed Chicagos division lead to one game. Chacin (14-7) pitched five innings of one-hit ball, but some sloppy play in the second proved costly for the wild card-leading Brewers.
TWINS 10, YANKEES 5
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Joe Mauer hit a grand slam to highlight a six-run fifth inning, and Minnesota beat New York for the first time in 10 meetings.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Trump administration moved closer Tuesday to rolling back Obama-era rules reducing oil and gas industry leaks of methane gas, one of the most potent agents of climate change.
The Environmental Protection Agency formally released its proposed substitute for a 2016 Obama administration rule that aimed to step up detection and elimination of methane leaks at well sites and other oil and gas facilities. The agencys move is part of a broad Trump administration effort to undo President Barack Obamas legacy programs to fight climate change by cutting emissions from oil, gas and coal.
The EPAs proposal Tuesday conceded that relaxing the Obama-era rule for methane leaks at oil and gas sites would put an additional 380,000 tons of methane into the atmosphere from 2019 to 2025. The amount is roughly equivalent to more than 30 million tons of carbon dioxide, another fossil-fuel emission that receives far more attention in efforts to slow climate change.
The EPA noted that overall increased pollution as a result of its proposal may also degrade air quality and adversely affect health and welfare. Relaxing federal oversight will save $75 million in regulatory costs annually, the agency said.
Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, a Colorado-based group that represents more than 300 companies, said the proposed changes make the EPA rule more efficient and workable. The previous rule was overly burdensome and full of red tape. This rule cleans that up, makes it more practical for industry to comply, Sgamma said in an interview.
Oil and gas drillers have a four-decade long trend to reduce emissions, and the new EPA rules recognize that reality, Sgamma said, adding that she hopes an Interior rule to be finalized in coming days will show a similar practical streak. The pending rule by the Bureau of Land Management applies to fracking sites on public lands.
Environmentalists contend energy companies already have demonstrated they can comply with tougher monitoring and that only poorly operated companies were having trouble with the new requirements.
Once again, the Trump administration is putting the interests of the worst-operated oil and gas companies ahead of the health and welfare of everyday Americans, said Matt Watson, an associate vice president at the Environmental Defense Fund.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown of California on Tuesday told a meeting in San Francisco ahead of a climate conference there that President Donald Trumps proposal to ease monitoring of methane releases is insane and borders on criminality.
It perhaps is the most obvious and dangerous and irresponsible action by Mr. Trump and thats saying quite a lot, Brown said.
The EPA under Obama completed the existing rule in May 2016, and it took effect that August. Industry groups pushed the EPA to reconsider, and the Trump administration put parts of it on hold in May 2017.
The rule was reinstated by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., last year after environmental groups sued, and it remains in effect, according to the EPA.
Tuesdays action opens a 60-day period for public comment ahead of any final decision by the Trump administration.
The Sorosis Club met Monday at the country home of Vicki Curry, with 13 members and three associate members.
