Iowa Falls man tests gas powered model airplane
Chester Peterson. 22, of Iowa Falls, Hardin county, finishes a four foot long model plane with a one fifth horsepower gasoline motor. If flights prove successful it would be Iowa’s first gas driven model to fly. The craft weighs few pounds and should reach about 30 mph with takeoff and landing gear designed to absorb shock. Peterson has 12 years experience and built the plane during recovery from an operation. In Breda a $4000 currency shipment to a local bank was mishandled when F Van Erdewyk found the money in a post office bag and put it in a waste basket for safekeeping before it was recovered and sent to Washington for replacement.

Monti tracksters face wind and relics of meet notes
Monti's track team scored seven points at the Mechanicsville relay meet. Bud Reynolds won the pole vault tying the meet record of 10 feet. The mile relay finished fourth as Reynolds aimed for a new Mechanicsville mark but wind hindered efforts. The 440 yard relay won its heat by inches though the team time lagged behind others. Newcomer Vernon Steiner showed promise with a third in the 440 at Iowa City and a near-miss on the mile relay. The conference meet looms May 12 and the squad travels to Dubuque Friday despite the death of the Yeoman brothers' grandmother.
