16 THE CAPITAL TIMES, Tuesday, February 1, 1972 I-" t'iV' OK for Bus Drivers To Serve on Council Mrs. Rankes Services Set At Gays Mills Obituaries Mr. Wilcox, 55, Prominent Stoughton Leader 9 Dies A Madison Metro bus driver is not an employe of the city and therefore may serve as city alderman, if elected, City Atty. Edwin Conrad said today in an informal opinion. Two city bus drivers are seeking election to the City Council this spring.

They are Donald T. li-it Rudolph Pieper Mrs. John Emery WAUZEKA-Mrs. John Emery, 65, died Sunday (Jan 30, 1972) in a Prairie du Chien hospital after a long illness. The former Grace Mills was married to John Emery in 1927.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church and its Womens Auxiliary. Surviving in Madison are two sons, LaVem and John. Also surviving are her husband; three daughters, Mrs. Georgians Mullikin and Mrs. Jaince Bintz, both of Wauzeka; and Mrs.

Cora Nelson, Prairie du Chien; two other sons, Virgil, Waukesha; and Richard, Wauzeka; a brother, Austin, Chicago, two sisters, Mrs. Laura Wiltrout, Muscoda; and Mrs. Esther Updyke, McGregor, and 17 grandchildren. The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the United Methodist Church.

Appenfeldt, 95, died Monday (Jan. 31, 1972) in a Jefferson nursing home after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements are pending at the Ristow-Claussen Funeral Home.

Rev. John Dirksen Ex-Pastor At Wilcox Cottage Grove Thorstad, Sixth Ward, and Robert Stromer, 16th Ward. Conrad said informally today that both Thorstad and Stromer could serve as aldermen of their wards, although they would probably have to abstain from voting on matters concerning the city-owned bus system. They (Thorstad and Stromer) are not city employes, even though the city owns the bus operation, Conrad said. The city council specifically recognized them as employes of the private company which 1 manages the system.

The city has contracted with American Transit Co. to manage the bus operation and the private firm has control over the wages, hours, and fringe benefits given its employes, Conrad said. These are the traditional touchstones for determining the employer-employe relation-ship, Conrad said. As yon can see, the city fails in every one of them here. But because of the councils close relationship with the bus system, the bus drivers, if they were elected, would have to abstain from voting on matters affecting the bus operation, Conrad cautioned.

a opinion was requested last week by Tenth Ward Aid. Alicia Ashman. His formal opinion will be delivered later this week, Conrad said. Dies at Age 69 GAYS MILLS-Mrs. Richard Bankes, 35, Gays Mills, was fatally injured in a two-car accident in Rockford, 111.

(UPI)-The liquor license of Morys, the storied men-only haunt for generations of Yale? students, was revoked Monday for discriminating against women. The tavern, popularized by the Yale Glee Club in the Whiffen-poof Song of 1909, lost its right to sell liquor in a 2 to 1 decision handed down by the Connecticut Liquor Control Commission.

It is expected however, that the Whiffenpoofs will still assemble with their glasses raised on high, and not be doomed from here to eternity. The case is expected to run its appellate course, beginning in the Court of Common Pleas. Association, which has upheld the men-only tradition for 110 years, has 10 days in which to file an appeal.
