It Happened Last Week By Bob Estabrook
A broad, war era column recaps U S positions on Britain and defense moves as draft debates heat up during a turbulent week. It notes Willkie’s rising prominence, diplomatic exchanges, and military mobilization including reserves and shipyard activity. The piece discusses Roosevelt's Britain policy, Cudahy remarks, and global war developments from Europe to Asia, with domestic political tension mounting over conscription and base pay changes.

Abandoned Cedar Rapids streetcar finds new life locally
A Cedar Rapids streetcar once part of the Cedar Rapids and Marion line now serves as a chicken house and corn crib on a Lisbon area farm. No. 103, bought for 100 dollars, retains its yellow and silver paint with Oak Hill route marking. The car also entertains a two year old boy who plays with it while the car supplies about 700 bushels of corn each season.
