Burlington Mock War Ends With Capture at Big Island
In Burlington Iowa a pretend invasion by Illinois residents led by a so called General Vince Carlson failed. The mock battle over Big Island in the Mississippi River was staged for United Nations week and judged by Iowa Supreme Court justices Robert L. Larson and Charles F. Winnerstrom.

Separately Washington Community Chest contributions reached 13 862 15 toward a 24100 goal with workers urged to complete reporting.
