Dick Eby writes in the Moulton Tribune that while publicity may irritate some non campers, the lake deserves praise for drawing thousands of weekend visitors who enjoy boating skiing and swimming in clean water as well as Iowa's capital providing its share of activity.
Visitors near Red Rock dam tour Rathbun Lake as a growing draw for Moravia. Des Moines families ski with teens praise Rathbun as ideal for water activities while Pella boaters praise cleaner waters. A Saturday safe boating clinic drew about 200, with conservation officers demonstrating wake effects near small craft. The lake is bringing added commerce to Moravia, with signs directing travelers to the dam and lake.
A roadside banner placed along the highway near the John Laws residence proclaims Welcome To Moravia and the Rathbun Dam Dedication dated July 31st, signaling a community celebration for the new dam landmark.
Attendance at Sunday school was 23. Mr and Mrs Harold Huff hosted and a large group visited Ed Adams home. Families including the Shepards, McClanahans and Adams enjoyed Lake Rathbun boating and a birthday tribute. Californian Gene Rinehart visited Ora Rinehart and family and they toured the lake.
