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- berly. 600 yard race for boys--Don Eb- berly. Passenger race for girls--Opal Paul, carrying -Martha Ennis. Passenger race for boys--Don ~Dbberly carrying Bud E,bberly and Dave ~,Vol fe. Bicycle stunts were featured af- ter the races by Janice Gustafson, Opal Panl, Tom ~rolfc, John Howe and Joan Peer. INVITE TRUSTEES TO DISCUSSION OF RURAL FIRE TRUCK the regular morning service, l:tev. , Rural --Fire Truck c. F. Hartzell will occupy the pul-i ,pit, at the service which will ~be Law Introduced By Ihcid in the Methodist church. j ---- -- 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.

Dean MacGregor mo- tored to Clear Lake Wednesday to take his daughter, Miss Mary -Mac- Gregor and Dr. ,Mcgee accompanied him to Mount Vernon. Dr. and .Mrs. Frank Cole were hosts at a luncheon this noon hon- oring Dr. -Mcgee. Othec guests were Dean and Mrs. J. B. ,MacGre- gor and Dr. and Mrs. Russell Cole. Dr. -Mcgee will be a guest of Dean and Mrs. Albion R. King at lunch on 'Friday noon. A dutch treat dinner for the faculty will be served at Bowman Hall on Friday evening at which time the faculty members will meet Dr. Magee. Dr. -Mcgee will meet with the executive committee of the ,board of trustees at the Montrose Hotel in Cedar Rapids for lunch on Sat- urday noon. He will go to Os- kaloosa from here where he will speak twice on :Sunday, going from there to a Minister's Seminar .at Lake Okoboji for next week. 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 Biderman. Linn Trustees are Drnil Mallie, Glenn Ferguson and Guy Perkins. Bertram trustees are Adolph Bld- erman, F. G.

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 Willard Easterly of Springville; Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

C. Forest and Edward Forest resMences just north of Mount Vernon about nine o'clock on Wed- nesday evening. The car, which i was being driven south, was headed ~north in the west ditch when it stopped. It was towed into a J Mount Vernon garage. Hoag said he estimated they 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~ next week.
