Here are pages from a scrapbook I rescued from a flea market
in
Waterloo, Iowa, in 2003. Some of the clippings say they are from the
Sioux
City Journal 1933. Some of the clippings in the scrapbook pages prior
to
that indicate they might be from around 1929. These make many references
to
Morningside College, and the surrounding towns. The later ones indicate
they
are from about 1947 in the Waterloo area.
I have indicated where there is a photo. I would be happy to scan
pictures
for people who request them.
I have no other information on any of these families.
Thank you, Ruth M.F. Tucker

W. C. Jackman, popular Rock Rapids school man, who next year is to
take over the superintendency of the Sheldon public schools. Mr.
Jackman, who was re-elected by the Rock Rapids board of education,
decided on the move on account of the fact that it was a real
"promotion".

girl born Wednesday, March 9th, at the Vander Wilt hospital. Karen Kay
was chosen as a name for the little lady.

Mrs. J. W. Dickinson has received a letter from the Lee Gillis' of
Omaha, informing her of the death of their son, Bob, in the Southwest
Pacific.
Mr. Gillis was superintendent of the Rock Rapids schools in the early
1920's, coming here to succeed Lester Ary. Bob was born just before
Gillis took charge of the local schools and he more or less got his
start in life in Rock Rapids. They left here in 1926.
In the letter, Mr. Gillis said that the government had notified him
Bob was missing in action, but that a buddy from Omaha, in the same
outfit, had written home. According to this flyer, "Bob was returning
from a rather long bombing mission, when an oil leak developed He was
ordered to the closest field, but could not make it. He made a water
landing with his usual competence and go into his raft. Within a short
time the rescue PBY which accompanied such missions located him. They
flew over him at a height of 20 feet and dropped smoke bombs and turned
immediately to land, but in that short time Bob and his boat had
disappeared.

Blowout Causes Accident Friday
Local Young Men Not Injured; Passenger Suffers Most
(30 Dec 1932)
Three young men, Robert and Harley Herington of this place and Wayne
Hogencamp of Iowa Falls, escaped serious injury Friday morning, in an
automobile accident on East Main street in Rock Rapids. An icy roadway
and a flat tire are blamed for the accident, which took place just east
of the Rock river bridge on Main street, and resulted in a badly wrecked
car. Neither of the Heringtons, who were in the front seat, were injured
in any way, but young Hogencamp, a former resident of this city, who was
riding in the rear seat of the car, was badly cut and was unconscious
for several hours as the result of neck injuries.
According to Robert Herington, who was driving the car, the accident
followed a blow-out, which occurred when a tire hit the sharp edge of a
chuck hole in the oil-surfaced highway on Primary No. 9, just east of
the Rock river bridge. The car swerved following the blow-out, turned
completely around, rolled over on its side and finally came to a stop
against a telephone pole on the north side of the roadway.
The young men were assisted from the badly wrecked machine by Herman
Kage, Rock Rapids man who was the first to arrive at the scene of the
accident, and they were taken to the office of Dr. J. D. Bishop for
treatment. Later young Hogencamp was taken to the Herington home near
this city, where he rested until Saturday when he returned to this home,
accompanied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. E Hogencamp, who had been
called here immediately after the accident.

Value of Methodist Hospital to the Territory Pointed Out by Official
Dr. G. T. Notson Explains Work of the Institution.
(Photo of Dr. G. T. Notson)
More than a quarter of a million dollars has been spent in Sioux City
by the Methodist hospital during the past eight years, it was revealed
by Dr. G. T. Notson, superintendent of the hospital.
That includes money paid for groceries and kitchen supplies, for
labor, drugs, dressings, and surgical supplies, household supplies, and
coal.
"It is interesting to note that the hospital does virtually all its
buying here, and by this means turns large sums of money into Sioux City
financial channels," Dr. Notson pointed out, "but we might also take
into consideration the fact that it maintains here a staff of 114, aside
from a large number of people who are kept here indirectly because of
the hospital."
Gifts for Buildings Only
"Many people ask why a hospital cannot pay its own expenses," said Dr.
Notson. "The Methodist hospital does pay its current expenses, and even
has been able to make substantial payments on interest, in addition to
giving a great deal of free service, but the charges made to patients
pay only for current expenses. Hospitals everywhere must depend on
public spirited citizens for gifts which will pay the cost of
construction and equipment, and enable the hospitals to get started.
"It is quite necessary that we have a nurses' home nearby in order to
maintain the high standard of service we have set ourselves at the
Methodist hospital. The department of nursing of the state board of
health has informed us that they cannot permit us to maintain this home
so far from the hospital for any great length of time. So we are
depending upon the people of Sioux City and surrounding territory to
help us with this project.
"When the present campaign for funds is completed, and we shall have
met our maturing obligations on the hospital, and provided means to
build a nurses' home, we shall be able to do one of two things: Either
increase the amount of our free and part free service to deserving
patients, or reduce the cost to all patients."
During the past year 3, 526 patients were admitted to the hospital and
its services were extended to 574 out patients. There was an average of
approximately 88 patients in the hospital each day during the year.
2,485 Operations Performed.
Operations performed in the hospital numbered 2,485, and there were
1,373 x-ray examinations. Some idea of the amount of food used in the
institution is gained from the fact that 245,970 meals were served
during the year.
"Our total yearly budget was $147,609.46 last year," Dr. Notson
explained, "but out of that amount we made an allowance of $4,064 for
the training school, and we paid $12,600 on our interest accounts.
Salaries and labor costs amounted to $56,140.18 during the year;
groceries and kitchen supplies, $25, 285.60; drugs, dressings, and
surgical supplies, $15,155.94; coal, $6,032; laundry supplies, office,
