Overseas CROP drive kicks off in county churches
The annual CROP relief drive opened officially yesterday with Sunday observances across the county. Rev. John K. Moore of Eldora heads Area V, including Eldora, Clay and Union townships, with chairmen from other county churches coordinating efforts. Sponsoring groups include twenty two Protestant denominations, Catholic War Relief, American Friends Service Committee and Lutheran World Relief. The campaign asks for gifts of food, especially rice, to aid homeless and war affected populations overseas amid ongoing conflicts in Korea and postwar hunger.

Where's Mother and the Doorway Duck Hunters Tale
The piece reflects on the familiar request Where's Mother, tracing how a child, then an adult, repeatedly asks for a mother when returning home. It shifts to a vivid vignette of duck hunters detailing their storytelling ritual, decoys, blinds, and dramatic build up before the hunt, concluding with a quip about service men.
