Cedarville War Society Formed At Patriotic School Meeting
A Cedarville school in Goshen township formed the Cedarville War Society at a patriotic mass meeting attended by over fifty residents. Fourteen students signed as active members and sixteen adults as associates, with total members at thirty and expected to reach fifty soon. The group aims to keep interest in war savings stamps and thrift drives during summer, with meetings twice monthly after school closes. Similar formations are planned across Muscatine county under E D Bradley, with other community meetings in Goshen and nearby townships to follow.
