Poison Pen Letters Target Le Mars Leader Roger
The Le Mars chamber of commerce secretary E W Roger faces hostile mail accusing him of a dirty town image and end-justifies-the-means rhetoric. Neighbors label him Merlin and accuse him of undermining progress while he defends armory plans and park improvements. Rev Calvin Niewenhuis and Rev G Vande Line are noted in local church events with a Grand Rapids trip and a guest speaker at Calvin Christian Reformed.
