Playground To Have
Exhibit In Legion
Hall This Week
The playground is having an ex
hibit of the projects in the window
of the American Legion Hall this
week. These projects will 'be dis-
played from this afternoon until
Monday and everyone is urged to
see them.
Finger painting h&s been popular
this week. Most of the scenes
worked out are those of deserts,
flowers, and subterranean pictures.
Finger painting is done entirely
with the fingers and the palm of
the hand. The paper upon which
the scene is made, ,has a gloss fin-
ish and is especially constructed
for this purpose. The paint is of a
gelatin nature and can easily be
, applied to the paper after the
paper has been dipped in water.
The hands must be moist in order
to spread the paint on the paper
properly. The paint is not harmful
to the hands or clothing and can
be easily washed off in water. As
finger painting has proved quite
popular with the playground boys
and girls it will be continued for
another week.
The playground boys softball
team lost two games to Lisbon this
past week. They were defeated at
Lisbon Thursday 'by a score of 14 to
16 and at ~Mount Vernon on Tues-
day by a score of 7 to 8.
The results of the bicycle races
held last Friday are as follows:
100 yard race for girls--Wilma
Levy.
200 yard race for girls--Janice
Gustafson.
200 yard race for ,boys--Don ]i~b-

Dr. Gardner Prowler Enters Home
Purchase of a fire truck for
rural use will be discussed at a
meeting in the Mount Vernon City
Hall on Tuesday, July 25, at 8 p.m.
to which the trustees of Franklin,
Linn and Bertram townships will
be invited.
A representative for the Iowa
Municipal Supply Co., who sell fire
trucks, has informed mere,bets of
the local council that under the
new law regarding purchase and
maintenance of rural fire trucks,
a township may either rent or pur-
chase the trucks.
Thus if Linn township would
vote to levy a tax of one mill for
fire equipment maintenance, the
amount so raised could be divided
between the fire companies which
offered protection to Linn property
on the basis of the area each would
cover. It probably coutd .be di-
vided between a truck to ,be sta-
tioned at Mount Vernon, if such
a truck is purchased, and the ~Mar-
telle truck and Springville truck.
The one mill tax can be levied
if a majority of the voters In the
township, w,hich must include 60
per cent of those who voted at the
last general election favor the
measure.
Arthur Kudart, chairman of the
fire committee of the cMount Ver-
non council, will confer with King!
Thompson, county attorney, on the
legal aspects of making it posstble !
for Linn township to be served by]
a fire truck stationed at Mount
Vernon before the Tuesd,ay meet-
ing.

Financing of the purchase and
maintenance of a fire truck by tax
raised funds is generally conceded
to ,be the fairest and best way.

Summer Cleaning In
Progress At Schools
The usual summer vacation
house cleaning is in progress at
the Ward school building and the
high school .building in ~Mount
Vernon. Last week John Colon
and his crew painted the wood
work on the exterior of the Ward
school. The floors are ,being glv-
en a new coat of finish, which is
necessary every year. The floors
in the high school will be given a
coat of special preparation for
cement floors, during the vacation.
Young People's Group Will
Meet For Swimming This Eve
Last Thursday evening the Union
Young People attended an ice
cream social at the Linn Grove
Church north of .Mount Vernon.
Afterwards they went to the Low-
I to answer a call unless the pay-
meat of $50 or $100 from a non-
member is guaranteed. At Mar-
telle recently the matter of trans-
fer of shares arose ,when a farm
was sold and the new owner al-
ready had one share in the truck.
He didn't think he should have to
purchase another share for the
second farm, because the man he
purchased the farm from already
had a share and had moved out
of the community.
If a truck was financed by taxes
it could answer a call anywhere in
the township without checking on
whether the farmer owned a share
in the truck or would guarantee
the payment for the run. This
guarantee of payment for a run
has ,been found necessary by most
rural or joint town and rural fire
trucks because occasionally some
non-member will refuse to pay
after the fire is out and the danger
Is past.
/t will ,be of interest to local
people to know that the new law
under which townships may put-
:chase or rent fire fighting equip-
ment was introduced into the legis-
lature .by Dr. J. R. Gardner of Lis-
bon.
Marion township, which now has
!a rural fire truck, was interested
:in having the old law clarified
and enlarged 'and the new law was
written with the e~perience of
'Marion township in mind.
Franklin trustees are J. F. Bow-
ers, .chairman, Ben Neal and Emil

Linn Grove Church
Ready When R.E.A.
Juice Comes On
Of Lewis Chapman
A prowler entered the l~ewis
Chapman house, a mile north of
!Mount Vernon, between two and
three o'clock Wednesday morning
and took a can of coffee, two cans
of pork and beans, and less than
one dollar in change from Mrs.
! Chapman's purse.
The prowler was frightened
away when Mr. Chapman, w'ho was
!sleeping on the first floor, and is
i under doctor's orders not to exert
himself, pounded on a door to call
,Mrs. Chapman from ~p-stairs.
Entry had apparently been made
hru the rear kitchen door as the
screen door was left standing part
way open in the hasty exit.
Mrs. Chapman was awakened by
the dog barking about two o'clock
so it is believed the prowling may
'have started about that time.
Begin Connecting
Farms To REA Line
The first Linn county farmer to
be served ,by the Linn County
Rural Electric Cooperative Asso-
ciation was. J. W. B. Harris, who
lives west of the sub-station north
of Robins. His place was connected
with the line at 3:25 p.m. and the
imuse was lighted at 4 p.m. on
Monday.
One crew of two men is working
as rapidly as possi.ble connecting
farms that are already wired, with
the R.E.A. high line. Efforts to
borrow extra crews from the Jones
Benton R.E.A. associations ,have
been unsuccessful because those
associations have more m, ork than
their own crews can handle. Ad-
ditional crews will be organized
and used to make the connections
if they can ~be obtained.
The west side of the county will
be completed first so that the farms
north of here in Linn township will
not be among the first to be con-
nected with the lines. Just how
long it wiU *be before the folks
north of town ,have juice depends
on how fast the connections can
~be made and whether extra crews
can be o,btained.
Final inspection and approval of
the newly constructed lines by R.
E.A. engineers was completed Mon-
day before the first farm was con-
nected with the line.
The local cooperative officials
have received encouraging reports
from the Examining Division of the
Rural Electrification Adm. at
Washington in regard to the B
allotment application now pending
in Washington and definite corn-
mitment of funds is expected with-
in a few weeks. The B allotment
application is for the construction
of 226 miles of lines to serve 566
customers in the Northern part
[ of Johnson county and in Washing-
ton, Grant, Jackson and .Spring
Grove townships in Linn county..

'MR. AND :~fl~S. JONATHAN
KOHL ENTERTAINED SUNDAY
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Kohl of
Mount Vernon entertained a smaU
grou.p of friends and relatives Sun-
day .honoring their grandson, Leon
Gossett, who is spending a three
week's vacation in Cedar Rapids
with his mother, Mrs. Leila Gossett.
Mc. Gossett ts a ,musician in the
U. S. Navy and is a graduate of the
U. S. Navy School of Music in
~rhen the new 1Cb].A. lines are
energized one of ,the important in-
stitutions of the Linn Grove neigh-
borhood, the Linn Grove Presby-
terian church, will be lighted with
electric lights for the first time.
"]'his church was built in 1854.
On May 1937, the church was
nearly wrecked by a twister which
did considerable damage in that
immediate vicinity. Since then,
through the efforts of the faithful
members of this fine rural com-
munity, the church has been re-
built and completely refinished.
Now with electric lights it will
compare .to many churches with a
larger memibership.
Recently A. F. Westcott of Mount
Vernon, C. E. Cogd&ll of Lisbon,
Dewey Peterson and Albert Bobst
of Martel]e very generously donat-
ed their labor for the wiring of the
church, and made it possible for
the ladies of the church to buy the
material for the wiring at whole-
sale cost. The men did the work
in one day, and the ladies of the
church served them a marvelous
dinner at noon in the church din-
ing room. And was it a wonder-
fu] dinner as one of the men re-
marked that he had never eaten
a ,better n/eal in his life. Irri-
descent lighting fixtures purchas-
ed second hand but in very good
condition have been installed, and
now all that is needed is the juice.
NEW PEWS OI~TAINFI)
FROM PARAI/rA CHURCH
The seats fl'om the Paralta
church which is being dismantled,
were presented to the Linn Grove
church by the Cedar Rapids Pres-
,bytery and were moved to the
church this week.
At the ice cream social held in
the church on Thursday evening,
the old pews were auetioned off
witll Charlie ~riekham acting as
auctioneer and Merle Goudy as
clerk. Nineteen long seats and
four short ones were sold, many of
the member families buying a seat.
$26 was realized from the sale of
the scats and the ladies cleared
$12 on the ice creanl social
%¥hile the seats are up, the
floor, which was laid new after the
tornado damage is being refinish
by A. J. Bobst. The new pews,
which arc more comfortable than
the old ones and of a more modern
design, will be finished before they
arc installed in the church.
With the new electric lights and
the refinished pews, the church
will have one of the nicest finished
buildings of any rural church and
a building of which every resident
of the Linn Grove community can
feel proud.
The successful maintenance of a
rural church means that a certain
number of the fine families in that
comnlunity feel a responsibility for
the church and support the church
by their attendance and their work
or it would not exist.
The residents in the Linn Grove
community have reason to feel
proud that they support and main-
tain the successful "Brick Church".
Heavy Rain Causes Big
Creek Banks To Overflow
The 3.9 inch rainfall Sunday
night in the vicinity of Cedar Rap-
ids, Marion and north put Big
Creek far out of its ,banks in the
Bertram vicinity for several hours
Monday morning.
At ten o'clock, whcn the creek
was at its height, it is reported to
have been 80 rods wide at various
points. The water ~vas over the
i road approaching the Big Creek
bridge near Bertram, and the
new grade on the Blaine road, but
neither road was damaged.
The water was within a foot of
the lower beams on the Northwest-
ern bridge over Big Creek at Ber-
tram.
The rushing creek had great
force as trce trunks were seen 'be-
ing carried by the current.
The water receded as fast as it
rose in the morning and was down
so that the roads were passable by
one o'clock in the afternoon.
Alvin Drahos lost a last spring
colt in the flood and 15 acres of
Glenn Blaine's oat shocks went
down the creek to the river in the
flood.
The bundles on August Pospisel's
oats field just south of the Ber-
tram depot were washed into a
I group of trees and ruined.
The heaviest rainfall, which ex-
tended ~bout two miles south of
Springville missed the territory
immediately north of Mount Ver-
non.
Lightning struck a red oak tree
in a grove near the buildings on the
George Vislisel farnl and literally
knocked it to splinters. The tree

No. 261, a rock road, bet~een the
E. C. Forest and Edward Forest
resMences just north of Mount
Vernon about nine o'clock on Wed-

were traveling about 45 miles an
hour when the accident occured.
He said two girls from Anamosa
were riding in the car but that he
did not know their names.
JOHN AU RA(THER
This next Saturday, July 21,
1(939, will greet .Mr. John Auraeher
on his 86th ,birthday The pleas-
ant home will be all "tglow with
those of the house'hold, who can
be present, and many a glance will
be taken back over the years and
the interesting history that is
spread over them.
He was a Pennsylvanian, born in
Northampton county, July 21, 1853.
He came to Iowa wben a young
man with his parents and since
has made Lisbon his holue. In
1877 he went east for ~his marriage
October 4, to Miss Alice Secders
at I~eadiug, Pennsylwznia, immed-
iately returning and within the
vear they built their home, in
which they have lived over sixty
years.
Here in Lisbon Mr. Aurac hcr has
made a long record of industry and
faithfulness to business and the
public. On .May l, 1936, he had
been associated ~wit~h the local 'bank
fifty years, and since has remained
its president, but because of illness,
has recently been inactive.
INSPECT FARMS
FOR FIRE HAZARDS
A program of inspection of the
buildings on each farnl insured in
the Farulers -Mutual Firc Insur-
ance Association of Linn Township
was started this week with two
inspectors from the reinsurance
company at Grinnell working in
connection with the local officers of
the company.
Rroofs, chimneys, wiring and
lightning rods are all inspected to
discover any dangerous fire haz-
ards that may exist. Eliinination
of hazards will prevent losses for
both property owner and insurancc
company.
A list of repairs to bc made is
left on each farm if the owner
lives on the farnl or is mailed to
him if he resides elsewhere.
Post cards are provided for the
property owncr to report to the
insurance company ~hen tile re-
pairs are made.
In case of serious hazards which
are not repaired, it is possible that
the policy might be cancelled.
Bertram Roads Are
Too Wet To Finish
The finishing work on the two
grading projects near Bertram has
been delayed because the two roads
are too wet for finishing. The
heavy work on the roads was eonl-
pleted last week ~nd all but one
machine was moved to two grad-
ing projects in Fairfax township.
The one machine left for finishing
work was taken to Fairfax on Mon-
day after the high water and will
be .brought back when the Bertram
roads have dried out.
The dragline left to complete the
stretch of road :past the l~eo Henik
'.md James Milholin farms conl-
pleted its work on Wednesday. "]'his
stretch will be finished with a
grader when this road dries out
nlore.
Lightning Damage Caused
Power Outage Here Sunday
Mount Vernon and IAsbon had
a power outage on Sunday morning
from 9 a.m. until 10:24 a.m. when
both ends of the loop circuit
whic:h usually can serve these
towns froln either direction, were
closed by lightning damage.
The damage between here and
Cedar Rapids was near Bertram,
while the other end of the loop
circuit was closed at North Liberty.
The damage at North Liberty was
repaired first and fronl 10:24 a.nl.
l
until about noon the juice canle
"u-ound thru North Libcrty and
Tipton. After the Bertram d'unage
was repaired normal service from
Cedar Rapids to Mount Vernon was
resumed.
The IAght Co., reports more
damage to its lines and transfornl-
ers from lightning during the last
few weeks than Ls usually received
during an entire suInlucr.
Rain Delays Harvest
Rain this week has dchlyed har-
vest in the vicinity of Mount Vcr-
non. Some of the oats were eonl-
llined last wcek, ~vith a conserva-
tive average yield of about thirty-
five bushels to the acre. "With no
more rain, harvesting and thresh-
ing will probably (ontinue full i)las~
