Cedar Rapids theater roots rise from 1925 amid YMCA basement stages
In Cedar Rapids the Footlighters revival in 1948 revived a community theater ethic that began with Cardboard Moon in 1925. The early shows moved through Grant Wood studio, Killian Tea Room, homes, churches, McKinley Auditorium and YMCA basement before settling at the Iowa Theater. Bill, a Coe College alumnus and war veteran, recalls peers like Mervin Severance teaching him acting basics.

Making Maple Syrup on a Family Farm
A family describes collecting sap to make maple syrup. They boil 70 to 80 gallons of sap to produce 2 gallons of syrup and finish when it is 7 degrees above boiling water. The syrup is strained, bottled, and either frozen or canned, yielding 6 to 16 gallons yearly for home use gifts and occasional sale.
