West Central Iowa Social Notes and Local Visits
Alton Sanderson was listed sick last week as Mike Kratz's folks helped at Cresco. Many neighbors called at Cresco and Ridgeway, including Thelma Sanderson visiting Mae Aga, and Mrs. Mary Kratz hosting Sam and Arthur Kratz. Winter storms, drifted roads, and cold weather slowed mail, schools, and travel while church groups and A S of E members met locally. Rural routes faced delays and a spring tease lingered with dragons and woodchucks.
