British soldiers fought off a mob
of 300 Greek Cypriots Wednes

LEBANON, Kan., UF) — Leba
non (Kansas, that is) is going to
promote itself as the geographi
cal center of the United States
when and if Alaska is admitted to
the union.
Mayor Raymond Schwette
pointed out Wednesday that a
monument marking the geo
graphical center was erected a
mile north and a mile west of
Lebanon 17 years ago.
The city “has invested a great
deal of money in promoting the
spot,” said Schwette, and doesn’t
intend to write off its investment.
The federal government said |
Wednesday that admission of
Alaska would shift the country’s
geographic center from Lebanon
to Butte County, S.D., a move
of 439 miles to the northwest.
