Scotch Grove Farm Bureau Opens Monthly Program Series
The Scotch Grove area farm bureau began its monthly programs with a well attended meeting at the church. Lee G. Streets was introduced as the new township delegate to the state federation convention in Des Moines. The program featured an Irish and European Scout trip talk by James Rickless of Monticello, detailing the 1300 US scouts among 50 000 in England and the use of sign language for communication. Other items included the school play The Narrow Escape and musical numbers by Alvin Weers and others. County Agent Smith closed with remarks on Ames short course and Des Moines federation, urging social club value. The issue also covers local obituaries, school closures, club meetings, birthdays, and community notices.
