Sucker tourists prey on Evangelical pastors in Iowa towns
Bruce Cowden reports a pattern of con artists posing as church members to solicit lodging money from Evangelical and Reformed pastors in Washington and Burlington. One pastor described a night of two callers, one posing as a denominational member and another as a distressed ex minister. A man later offered to sell a supposedly stolen wristwatch. The piece notes pastors should be cautious and references a city hall basement lodging option for those in need. The column then shifts to a census curiosity about populations in 1940 and 1950, pondering Washington's growth relative to peer towns and listing several with populations near 5 000 to 6 000. The writer ends with a sensory aside about a whining noise in his yard.
