Santa to visit bedridden Iowa hospital children
In Iowa City on Christmas night Santa Claus will visit every bedridden child at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital with gifts from letters. Local donations include two boxes from Ottumwa's American Home Winding Association, a $35 check from Renton County Bank and Trust Co, and $400 from Town City businessmen. Christmas trees graced each ward as groups hosted parties, and hospital superintendent Gerhard Hartman noted wide local support.

A second opinion for Public Safety Commissioner Alfred Kahl notes vehicle transfers by bonafide sale can be registered on a form from the safety department under the new safety act.
