FRONTS: --w Stationary will move out of the state on Thursday and sunny skies will re- turn turn Iowa's weather has been drier than usual this spring and summer, prompting worries about reduced crop yields.

Since April, the state has received only about 60 percent of its normal rainfall. Tuesday was a typical summer day in Iowa sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s. Afternoon highs ranged from 78 in Dubuque up to 89 in Sioux City. Lows early easy, ut left Emmetsburg at 6:15 a.m." and stopped for pancakes at the popu-. lar Ragbrai breakfast attraction, "Chris Cakes," he says a delicious meal is combined with entertainment.

Biking buffs love to watch Chris Cakes' traveling" cook from Pocahontas flip up to five cakes simultaneously with special flippers, he said. And at for all you can eat, the stand predictably gets lots of business from the carbohydrate-craving cyclists, Choosing-just where and when to eat on Ragbrai can be a pleasant daily dilemma, Harper noted, as the bikers are confronted with enticing food stands every five to 10 miles of the trip. Free cookies and water are also offered along the route by various organizations, he said. A "1.4 "The Pork and Beef Producers have some of the best stands," he continued. The riders were tempted to stop and sample the Pork Producers', fare in the morning at West Bend where the delicious aroma and their curiosity peaked at the site of pork chops grilling over corn cobs.

"But we passed by," Harper sajd. "Jt was 9 a.m. top early for dinner and too late for breakfast," he lamented. Foodstand lures continued throughout Tuesday's steplike south, east, then south again pro-, gression through Iowa's north-cen stocks Patrol Continued from page 1A times.

Two years later the patrol bought its first radar. units. In 1958, the first segment of Iowa's interstate Highway, ten miles, was opened 4to iratnc. me interstate presented a new dimension for the pairoi. In 1981 the patrol was called upon to help put down a riot at the Fort Madison penitentiary.

The' patrol was ready; it used its newly formed Tactical Team to go inside the prison gates.

A new class of patrol recruits is scheduled to graduate Aug. 23 which will bring the patrol to full strength.

Since the patrol was formed in 1935, nearly 1,200 men and women have served in its ranks. The Iowa Patrol probably enjoys one of the lowest attrition rates of any law enforcement agency in the country, said Col. Metzger, less than 4 percent a year. That has not always been the case, though. Seventy-five patrol officers resigned in a three year period.

It happened after World War II, 1946-47-48, when the economy started to boom and the salaries of patrolmen remained static Metzger said the work of a state trooper is never done. "They are on call seven days a week, 24-hours a day." By The Associated Press Thunderstorms rum Lied into northwest Iowa early today, bringing some much needed moisture to the state's crops. The rain was expected to spread into central and southeast Iowa today and tonightr From half-an-inch to an inch of rain was the National Weather Service said, with a chance of heavier amounts locally. The best chance for heavy rain was in the northwest half of the state. Forecasters said the rain It looked What appeared on paper to be the easiest or at least the shortest leg of the week-long RAGBRAI bike tour through Iowa resulted in ajong and difficult trek Tuesday when Mother Nature cast a nasty head wind in the cyclists' direction.

The 55 miles from Emmetsburg to Humboldt took Muscatine's Pedal Wheelers much longer than they expected, club spokesman Charlie Harper said Tuesday afternoon, as the local contingent fought against their first "hardship" on the ride. "Now we're into RAGBRAI because we've had a' hardship," Harper stated. "Not a great but it caused some difficulty. It's just a nice breeze if you're not riding straight into it," he added. Though free from any leg-muscf le strain or minor injuries; Harper's personal hardship Tuesday concerned his ankles.

He reported I a new Vi-inch jred stripe of pain surrounded them following his 5U- hour ride. Mr. Sun and a shorter pair of socks than Monday's were the culprits Pain and hardship aside, Harper noted the group enjoyed a tourist stop at the The Grotto of the Redemption, in West Bend, and, of course, lots more of that good and plentiful local food along the way Riding with Deb Haney, Harper New York New York stocks: AlliedCp AlldStrs AmBrands Amer Can Am Cyan Am Home Ameritech Am Motors AmStand Amer T8.T Amoco ArmWln Asarco Inc AtlRichfld Bandag Inc' BeatCo Becton Dick BellAtlan BellSouth Beth Steel Boeing Borden Brunswick BurlNth CPC Int!
