Best Time Ever Had in Prospect and Waterloo celebration
A. Willford, Waterloo sports committee chair, touts a Victory picnic at Cedar River park on July 4 as the peak event for Black Hawk county. The celebration aims for about $35,000, with donations sought from employers and employees to fund the joy fund. Women and children will have added protection, with police authority for 20 YWCA girls to handle disturbances, extra police on grounds, and Red Cross support for rest and information tents. Quarantine notes report smallpox and diphtheria cases, plus a real estate ad invites buyers to a June 28 sale at 27 East Fourth Street. L. K. Park promises rapid growth for 514 East Fourth Street.
