Cedar Falls Celebrates Second Greatest World Event
Cedar Falls marked a citywide celebration from dawn to night featuring a 12 block parade led by the Kind and Student Army Training Corps from the college.

Draft call cancellations eased disappointment as 46 men en route to Camp Greenleaf Ga. and Camp Dodge roll calls were halted, with instructions to return home.
