Cedar Rapids Area News Highlights And Human Interest Items
Local notes recount post office trucks gaining license plates for the first time in Linn county, a Cedar Rapids honor roll at the Rapid Maid, a police captain fishing, and a muskrat collision on Second avenue bridge. Community quirks include rabbit-track drivers, mounted bears at Schoen furrier, and air force reserves with international roots. A USO visit yields cookies and nickels, war era humor, a boy rescuing wildlife, a Lions club anecdote, and reflections on service roles. Also featured are a Marine sergeant’s return, toilet paper rationing, and a humorous car dog, plus suggested non rationed refreshments.
