Service League Prepares War Work Campaign in Waterloo
Waterloo readies for the united war work campaign with launch Monday at 6:30 p.m. under the Service league. Volunteers will canvass residences to collect pledge cards between 7:30 and 10 p.m. Governor Harding urges Iowa to lead the drive, noting soldiers’ needs remain as the war ends. Black Hawk County aims a strong Christmas showing, with subscriptions due by Friday and totals telegraphed by Nov. 12. Epidemic hampered rural outreach, but urban committees persevere with public appeals and local theater and church events now able to host speakers.
