Dredging Work Clears Silt at Sandy Hollow Recreation Area
A barge mounted dredging machine owned by Okko Roos near Boyden, used by Joe Sandbuke and Hilbert Jager, removes silt from Sandy Hollow’s east swimming section and proceeds to the west area. Ken Doornink and Martin Boer assist on the barge as water is pumped over the southeast bank. The operation, cutting a 15 to 20 ft hole in the sandpit for drainage, includes a protective shelter on the barge and a nearby attendance boat.

Rally of 1200 Reformed Church Men in Chicago
Dr. Harold Ockenga urged the 1200 laymen at the Third Annual Laymen’s Convention of the Reformed Church in America in Palmer House to evangelize all areas of American life or face secularist and communist influence. He cited Russia’s education edge and Dewey’s education theories as factors undermining discipline in schools and churches. He warned that racial, crime, and moral problems threaten moral vitality unless laymen are born again and aligned with divine nature.
