Lutherans Plan For Big Meeting
Cedar Falls January 2 Preparations for the national convention of the Danish United Lutheran church of America in June are under way with a congregational meeting tonight to appoint committees and outline plans. An estimated 3000 people may attend the June 15 service, with weekly attendances around 1500, and finding a suitable auditorium is the major challenge. A. Rude returns from overseas service after 20 months with the heavy artillery, having volunteered in 1917 and served in Europe where several months of active duty occurred, though he never witnessed a battle fatality. Garden plots are being planted to take advantage of milder weather, with potatoes, radishes, onions, and lettuce sown and protective measures planned against February cold. The FP OB O observes its thirtieth birthday with chapter members gathering at Mrs. H. H. Seerley’s home, and local residents note several homes report missing Sunday dinners from ice boxes after Saturday night thefts, forcing families to dine with neighbors or at cafes.
