Decorah City Hall to Clear Rest Room Rooms for Chamber and Credit Bureau
The Decorah city council announced that residential occupants of rooms in the city rest room building must vacate by January 1 to accommodate the Chamber of Commerce and the Wiek Credit bureau. In Toledo, Supt. Heigh H. Ladd praised the home’s musical program as students in the new school find pride in achievements. A 60 member chorus has performed for DAR and American Legion conventions and a local Lions minstrel show featured a school quartet. A humorous tale from Dr. Kettelkamp in Monona contrasts a cowboy’s need for water with a saloon visit, and a rickety washing machine sits in a horse-drawn cart on highway 150 near Oelwein. College Chips, Luther’s campus paper, notes its 66th year and 1,000 issues published, while highway 30 detour west of Cedar Rapids grows rougher with daily traffic.
