Iowa CCC camps cut by about ten from planned total
Emergency conservation officials in Washington said Iowa will have about eight to ten fewer CCC camps this season, matching cuts in other states. Rep Otha Wearin of Hastings protested plans to disband about 15 Iowa camps due to limited relief-family recruitment. Fechner said no final decision on exact camps was made, but overall CCC enrollment cuts from 600 000 to 500 000 require reducing camps from 2916 to 2427 nationwide. Iowa’s 49 planned camps could drop to around 40 with final arrangements pending.

Double Play Leaves One Out in Coon Dog Dispute
In Vinton Justice J A Ruhl's court an ownership dispute over a one year old coon hound will be heard October 18. Tom Lockhart and Ray Waterhouse of Urbana claim the dog. Waterhouse says he bought the hound in 1929 and has a canceled check to prove it. Lockhart borrowed $3.50 and later kept the dog, while a field trial win by Lockhart sparked further legal action. Corroborating custody moves involved Constable Fred Rose who returned the dog to Waterhouse at one point and to Lockhart at another after orders. The case centers on possession and a reported purchase.
