June brides are featured in the Sunbeam treasure chest. A baby girl Elizabeth Anita born May 23 is honored by a gathering at the Lamoureux home. Navy enlistments are encouraged with recruiters in Sioux City. Community events include a June 21 Baptist church lawn tea and several local visits and dinners. A Siouxs bus line ceased service temporarily, affecting local travel. A purse found by Elmer Meske and wife, containing nearly $500, was returned to its owner who awarded a gift as thanks. A Sunday picnic near town brought families from several states together.
