Around the town reads like a Cedar Rapids social column
A Cedar Rapids lawyer travels downtown for case information and triggers a domestic tiff as his wife shouts warnings after an accidental turf mishap. Scotty McLeod sells belongings to a second hand dealer in Ottumwa for $20, a cartoonish bargain. Junior League visitors bring Peter and Boots to a school play prompting the kitten’s “real” owner reveal. John Hamilton skis poorly at Sun Valley and earns the instructor’s scolding. Harold Brownlee writes from England praising year round golf, halving a handicap to 14. A funeral mix up leaves Ed Soboda listening to a sermon for someone else.
