United Church Canvass Week Planned in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids prepared for a united church canvass from November 12 to 19 as Protestant Catholic Jewish and Orthodox churches join to urge attendance support and tolerance. Ray Short chairs the canvass with a general committee drawn from each church and GE’s Charles E. Wilson endorses renewed faith and service amid wartime demands. Administratrix appointment notices follow from Linn County Iowa and are headed by Mrs. Dean Clark with Tobin Tobin and Tobin attorneys.
