SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A few impressive streaks stopped for the Jackson Indian football team yesterday at Plaster Field, and a less glamorous streak began; Jackson's eight-game win streak came to an end with a 20-19 loss to Camdenton, Missouri, in the Class 4A title game; playing in the championship game for the second straight year, the Indians once again saw their dream of the school's first state football championship fall painfully short.

Trans World Express is expected to reduce the number of flights out of Cape Girardeau Regional Airport Monday because of federal subsidy cuts; Greg Chenoweth, airport manager, says airport officials haven't received the revised flight schedule, but early discussions with TWE officials indicate one flight would be cut daily Monday through Friday, and all weekend flights would be eliminated because of cuts in the Essential Air Services Program subsidy.

Fred A. "Daddy" Kain's new Stucco Restaurant is dedicated when about 200 children assemble and feast on a dinner given by the big-hearted proprietor; black children, as well as white, are served, a table for "the colored" being placed at the west side of the dining hall; two long tables in the middle of the room accommodate the white children.
