Divorce Dance Draws Hundreds In Wisconsin
Albert Rabas held a weekend divorce dance in Luxemburg to celebrate his divorce from Judy Rabas after 22 years of marriage.

Fountain City Men Build Mobile Log Cabins in Wisconsin Wilderness
Laverne Scanlan and Gerald Freimark, both from Fountain City, Wisconsin, are building three 20 by 28 foot mobile log cabins at West Twin Lake using Norway pine logs. The project, aided by a state forester, features cement reinforcing rods instead of wooden pins and a loft bedroom with fireplaces.
