Iowa One Room Schools to Receive Over Sixty Thousand in State Aid
More than $61,000 in state aid will be distributed to Iowa one room rural schools this year. Sixty seven counties have standardized and will participate, serving over 200,000 pupils in more than 10,000 schools. State Supt. P B McClenahan says improved schools are a duty while Miss May Francis reports the aid plan and public health nursing course led by Miss Helen Stewart will start next September at the University of Iowa. Nearby Worth county offers a giant foot imprint fossil rock, likely formed in plastic state, suggesting glacial-age activity and linking to Cedar Falls quarry rock usage for early town capitol foundations.

Forty Mexicans Held in Iowa Jail Return to Mexican Border
Forty Mexicans including six women and several children held in Polk county jail since July 27 for immigration violations were transported to Chicago and placed on a special prison train back to the Mexican border. The group, arrested for deserting sugar beet fields in northern Iowa, is part of hundreds imported to work the beet harvest by sugar companies at Mason City Belmond. Under a labor department ruling, Mexican or Canadian workers were permitted this year to avert a hand shortage. Companies bonded to return all workers this winter after the harvest.
