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. Legion Auxiliary.

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- day for the hundred Mount Vernon 1 Newest featurc‘ of the project is a baseball tcam,.

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.

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 program follows: Washington Post ................ ..

Eleven of these names will be sent to other boards and probably names will be sent to the Marion board from other boards. The clerks registering the men were the busiest at seven o'clock, noon and between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. Beginning July 9, the registrants will be given serial numbers. It is presumed that order num- bers will be drawn at Washing- ton, D.C. but definite information has not been received.

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.
