Pella Man Chosen Seventh District Commander
The Pella American Legion post members attended the state convention and returned home with news that Dr. Georg Lankelma has been elected commander of the Seventh District. The district elects officers under the state department to manage district affairs, and Lankelma’s leadership of the Pella post last year is cited as merit for the honor.

Two Family Picnics Held On Wednesday
The Ver Ploegh family held their annual reunion in the grove north of the city Wednesday with about 50 attendees, renewing acquaintances and playing games. The Grandia family gathered at Grandman farm nearby for a large picnic and feast. Road conditions from recent rains slightly hindered attendance, and Main Street paving limited north entry. Earlier, Billy Vander Beek suffered a painful accident when a rock struck his foot, requiring seven stitches. He is recovering but will be out for some time.
