Hawkeye Unloads
Half Car of Paper
In New Building
Eleven and a half tons of print
paper, on which the coming issues
of the Hawkeye Record will be
printed, were unloaded from a. car
here last week by William Burgess
and placed in the new paper store.-
room being built on the rear of the
Hawkeye office. This is enough
paper to make a half million single
pages of the I—Iawkcyc. It was
shipped from International Falls,
Mind, and is belieVed to have been
made in the Minneapolis and On-
tario Paper mill at Fort William,
Canada.
This was about half of the car
the remainder going to the
Marion Sentinel at Marion.
The paper arrived about 30 days
earlier than expected and had to be
placed in the storeroom before it
was finished. Fortunately the floor
was completed two days before the
car arrived. Nowdays the mills
ship the paper when convenient and
you are glad to get it at any time.

LOCAL STUDENTS IN
NEW THEATRE PLAY
Doug Hudelson. Marge Hartung
and Bernie Gough, all of Mount
Vernon are to appear in featured
roles in Moss Hart and George
Kaufman’s new comedy “George
Washington Slept Here" being pre-
sented July 3, 4, and 5, in the
Armstrong hall of fine arts.
“George Washington Slept Here"
is a comedy about the Fuller fam-
ily, Newton and his wife, Anna-
belle, and their daughter, Madge,
who are hypnotized into taking over
a windowless, waterless, almost
roofless stone house on the pic-
turesque Pennsylvania countryside.
The ensuing troubles include a
search for water, a quarrel with a
neighbor who owns not only the
brook but the very road that leads
from the highway to the house, the
attempted elopement of the daugh-
ter with a married summer-theatre
actor. and the usual invasion of
week-end guests. including a prodi—
gal uncle who is assumed to be rich
but who turns out to be just an-
other bankrupt.
Douglas Hudelson, junior mem-
ber of the Cornell Summer Theatre,
appears as Raymond. “one of the
most incorrigible characters ever
written."
Doug has previously worked as a
radio commentator over radio sta-
tion KSO Des >Moines, and appeared
with the Snook School of Drama,
also in Des Moines. He has play—
ed various roles in the Cornell Lit-
tle Theatre and is now in the mid—
die of his second year with the
Cornell Summer Theatre.
Marge Hartung is a charming
young veteran of the Cornell Sum-
mer Theatre. Having worked in
the Theatre during four summer
terms and her freshman year at
Cornell, she is ably equipped to
handle with dexterity any job which
should fall to her. In “George
Washington Slept Here" the char-
acter Marge will portray is that of
a gay young girl in her early twen-
ties. The play will be under the
direction of Robert Hartung.
Bernie Gough is also appearing
in "George Washington Slept Here."
She is playing the part of Hester,
the maid of the Fuller’s. Bernie
has appeared in summer produc-
tions of other years and has just
finished playing in “Charley's
Aunt." She has also been out-
standing in many winter produc-

NONE INJURED IN
TRUCK UPSET NEAR
CEMETERY TUESD’Y
Another miraculous escape from
serious injury was chalked up in
a highway accident near Mount
Vernon Tuesday noon, when a
large transport truck went on“. the
road, smashing the engine so far
into the body of the truck that the
steering wheel almost touched the
cushion of the seat back. The
driver of the truck, Harold Baker
of Dysart, was pulled from the
wreckage with no injury except a
badly bruised shoulder. Lawrence
Sinnitt of Waterloo, alternate driv-
er, was uninjured.
The truck loaded with three
Farmall tractors, was driving west
between Mount Vernon and Lisbon.
The driver reports that he remem-
bers seeing the Lawrence Current
house, and then must have dozed
for a split second. He awoke. to
realize that his wheels were on the
shoulder at the opposite side of
the road. He immediately at~
tempted to pull back onto the road,
but his front wheels hit a culvert,
turning the loaded truck trailer off
balance. The engine pulled on
forward, hitting a telephone pole
beside the cemetery and dragging
the base of the pole about ten
feet. The trailer turned over onto
the metal railing, utterly demolish-
ing it and a small tree beside the
Emma Neidig grave.
The (lan of the truck was ac-
cordioned into such a wreckage
that it is almost unbelievable that
a man could have escaped serious
injury in the accident.
After delivering a load of stock
to Chicago yesterday, Baker, who
was relief driver, and Sinnitt, slept
in Wheatland, leaving there about
5 o’clock that morning for Rock
Island. There they picked up the
tractors and left at about 10 a.m..
enroute for Cedar Falls. The ac—
cident occurred about 12:15 Tues-
day noon.
According to Harold Gordon, who
was driving toward Lisbon and saw
the accident, the truck was not
going at a high rate of speed. Gor-
don had to swerve to the west
bound lane to avoid hitting the
trllck, which was, of course, on the
wrong side of the road.
The tractors in the trailer were
not damaged, with only one
greatly dented. The other two were
only scratched and superficially
bent. The one was towed into Mt.
Vernon and left at the Cooper Gar-
age.
School—Board. Has
Annual Meeting
The annual report of the Score-
tary of the Mount. Vernon School
Board, Bert Avcry, was filed with
the School Board at the meeting
held on Jilly 1 as is required by
law. It will be printed in the next
issue of this newspaper as is also
required by law.
According to the report there
were 191 pupils enrolled in the
grades and 132 in high school for
a total enrollment of 323 during
the last school year. Average daily
attendance in the grades was
177.5, high school 123.96 and
total 301.36.
There are regularly five teach-
ing positions filled by men and ten
which are filled by women.
Social science readers are rent-
ed to the pupils in fourth, fifth and
sixth grades and junior high.
Bonds of a par value of $4,000
were paid from the school house
fund and $3098.75 interest was
paid. Expenditures in the general
fund were $20,857.80 which will be
printed in the report next week.
Tuition collected was $2011.

:Rains Cool Iowa
Heat, Flatten
Many Crops Here
Cool breezes descended on this
part of Iowa late Tuesday afternoon
following a comfortable day with
a peak of 82 at 1:15 p.m. Mon-
day’s humid heat of 90, which made
‘it the. most uncomfortable day of
the year, was broken in the mid-
short
wind and rain storm. A severe
wind, rain and hailstorm passed
thru south of here hitting Marengo
and following No. 0 east to Daven-
port, at that time. People here
watched the fast moving clouds
south of here Monday afternoon,
and noticed their peculiar green
color.
The heavy wind and rain storms
'of this week flattened many oats
fields in the vicinity of Mount Ver—
non and Lisbon. Corn was bent
down to the ground in many fields
but has gradually gotten back to
its original position. Some trees
were blown down south of Lisbon
on last Friday afternoon and a barn
housing a separator was taken
down at the Ross Clark farm and
the machine upset.
Howard Stork reported that four
inches of rain fell at his farm south
of Lisbon Friday afternoon. Both
Clear Creek and Spring Creek were
out of their banks for a time. Mrs.
Leigh lost some chickens.
Several farmers said it was one of
the hardest rains they had ever
seen.
NEED $75 ON LOCAL
QUOTA FOR USO.
The Mount Vernon quota for the
11.S.O. still needs $75. The aim of
the committee has been to find a
large number of givers at one and
two dollars. It is difficult to make
a canvass reach all and those who
have volunteered at the bank are
deeply appreciated. The campaign
should be completed by July 4th.
Second Band Concert
Will Be Saturday Eve
The Mount Vernon band will play
the second concert of the season on
main street, Saturday evening. Last
week the threatening weather dc-
crcased the usual Saturday evening
crowd. A loud speaker from the
Dickey Radio shop will be installed
for the concert next Saturday eve-
ning, if the weather permits. The

At Marion Tuesday
One hundred forty-six young
men, who had attained the age of
21 years since the draft registra-
tion last fall were registered by the
Linn Draft Board No. 3 at Marion
on Tuesday, July 1st. Eleven of

noon and between 5 and 6 o'clock
in the evening. Beginning July 9,
the registrants will be given serial

It is presumed that order num-
bers will be drawn at Washing-
ton, D.C. but definite information
has not been received.
Kenneth Hall has purchased the

Wfork on the custodian's dwell-
ing group at Palisades—Kepler
State Park has progressed steadily
lto a point where the electric ser-
lvicc line is finished, the sewage
.disposal system is more than 95
I per cent installed, the service build-
;ing or garagc is 75 per cent com-
:plctc and the residence itself is
approximately mic-half construct-
rcd. Proposed construction of a new
pump house and well in this im—
mcdizlic vicinity will complete the
,group and, with the necessary water
mains installed, will furnish the
northeast sector of the park with
a, potable water supply.
Six modern overnight cabins
have been approved for construc-
tion in this park. They will be lo-
cated on the cast Palisades over-
looking a bond in the Cedar river
on the side hill between the Look-
out and the large garage. These
cabins will have running water,
electricity for cooking and lighting,
and will have a separate sewer sys—
tem. This improvement, together
with the two larger type, CCC built
cabins in the same immediate area,
will afford accommodations for
over forty people.
This work will be done by CCC
men from the Solon camp. At
present the enrollment of the Solon
camp is down and not many men
are. available for work. The en-
rollment is expected to increase
soon.
Parking area for more cars is
being built. The present area will
be enlarged to accommodate 185
cars. A new area below the dam
will have space for 215 cars. Ex-
cavation from the first area is being
used for fill for the second area,
400 feet down stream from the
daln. While the areas will be used
primarily by picnickcrs the area
below the dam will be convenient
for fishermen. A short section of
road leading to this area leaves the
main road near the entrance to the
present custodian’s residence. Some
means of transporting boats to the
river’s edge will be furnished.
OrderOiI Bill Paid
At the Lisbon council meeting on
Monday evening it was moved by
Sankot and seconded by Dahn that
the Hargravc construction company
be paid $852.73 for oiling Lisbon
streets.
The clerk was instructed to set
up a fund and apportion the cost
at 7 cents a running foot and the
clerk is to notify all property so
affected.

given in the evening service last
Sunday evening. The mornings
were spent in classes of instruc-
tion and the afternoons were given
over to recreation. An inspiration
