Pella community drives clothing aid and honors local industry
Pella residents contributed 13 200 pounds of clothing and blankets for the United Clothing Appeal, now at the Napanee processing center for overseas distribution. Central Cal lees homecoming, the college golden anniversary with the Reformed Church, and a salute to Pella Industry mark a big week with free gifts for workers. Also noted: Red Oak attracted a new industry after a 1960 land purchase for development. Louis LeCocq, longtime Dubuque educator, died in Dubuque last week.
