The columnist and Harry Dye toured Cedar Township on a farm tour to obtain war bond pledges.

Mrs Bessie McCall and Mrs Lou Rhodebeck also contribute. The scene captures Cedar Township generosity after tragedy.
The Office of Price Administration will sell limited quantities of odd lot shoes at reduced prices from July 10 to July 29.
