EMPLOYEES OF LOCAL FIRM IN LAMONI SUNDAY Hyde & Vredenburg Annual Meeting Held at Coliseum - Over 500 Employees Here for the Day More than 500 people were in Lamoni Sunday [September 7] to attend the annual meeting of the employees of the Hyde & Vredenburg, Inc. Their presence here testified to the success of the small venture made in 1932 when Charley Hyde and D. M. Vredenburg entered the grocery business in Lamoni with a stock of merchandise valued at approximately $6,000, a part time bookkeeper and two clerks. Today the office included eight and the employees of the firm total almost 400, approximately 50 of the employees living in Lamoni. From that small beginning the firm has expanded until it now operates 30 stores, a bakery, a fruit exchange, the mill, a new meat plant and a warehouse in Lamoni. From a gross business of a few thousand dollars, the firm now enjoys more than 3 million dollars of business a year. A marked interest in the community was apparent among the various groups gathered at the Coliseum for the dinner and program. This interest in the firm is shared by every employee, officer of the company and even the extra clerks who were hired for the Saturday rush. The program Sunday was entertaining and diversified including the surprise appearance of C. E. Cothern who amused his audience with his ventriloquist act. Other numbers of the program included a welcome expressed by Robert Bixby, some choral groups, solos and a slight of hand by [cut off] of Corydon. During the afternoon the transcribers of the various branches conducted visitors through their documents.

LOCAL PIPE LINE STATION IS OPEN Great Lakes Pipe Line Re-Opens Local Pump Station - Defense Prompts Action After being closed for several months the Lamoni pump station of the Great Lakes Pipe Line Company is being re-opened. The pipe line comes from the Texas and Oklahoma fields and carried the gasoline as far east as Chicago. Gasoline has been moving through the two 8-inch pipes constantly during the time the local station has been closed. But in order to aid in relieving the shortage which is now causing Mr. Ickes and the eastern seaboard so much concern the local station will be put into operation again to increase the speed of gasoline flow; thus making it possible to increase the amount of gasoline transported in this manner. G. K. Benson, who was located here formerly, has been sent here again from Corning to assist in putting the plant in operation. Other men representing the Great Lakes Pipe Line Company are O. E. Dudney and T. E. Stenson. * * * * Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Hodges have rented an apartment to Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Stenson, employees of the pipe line company. L'COMPTE HERE FOR BRIEF VISIT Congressman To Return To Washington Middle of Next Month - Discussed National Affairs Congressman Karl L. (sic) LeCompte was in Lamoni Monday for a brief visit with the home folks. Unlike other congressmen who took advantage of their absence from Washington and planned trips to Iceland, South America and various important islands, our congressman decided home was the best place to be. He is spending his time in visiting various towns in his district, getting the thought trend of his constituents and discussing national problems. In conversation with him, Lamoni people discovered that Congressman LeCompte is not being influenced too much by his political faith but is prompted in his voting by what he feels the people of his district and he himself believe in. Like a majority of the people's representatives in Washington he is interested in the things which are the best for the country. Mrs. LeCompte accompanied the congressman to Lamoni and visited with friends. The congressman plans to return to Washington about September 18.

McCay In Magazine Cleo G. McCay, Sinclair agent at Lamoni, had his picture on the cover page of Picture News, a publication sent out by the Sinclair company.

COMPANY Town of Lamoni Asks $5,000 for Breach of Contract - Amount Involved Represents Bond Litigation between the town of Lamoni and the Iowa Southern Utilities Company has been resumed. This time the action is brought by the town of Lamoni to collect a judgment against the defendants and the Continental Casualty Company, the sum of $5,000 as damages for breach of contract and costs of the action. The petition states that on December 7, 1938, the court granted a temporary writ of injunction against the town which was issued upon a bond in the sum of $5,000 and signed by Iowa Southern Utilities and the Continental Casualty Company, surety. On August 18, 1939, a decree was issued by the court dismissing the petition of the Iowa Southern Utilities and vacating the temporary injunction against the town which had delayed the erection of a municipal plant and the sale of bonds. The town of Lamoni claims that the municipality was prevented under the terms and conditions of the writ of injunction from doing or having any work done by any of the authorities on the construction of the electric light and power plant and distribution system from December 13, 1928, until such injunctions were dismissed and dissolved on August 24, 1939, a period of approximately eight months and eleven days, which deprived the plaintiff of the use of said plant and loss of income for that period of time. The petition further states that the fair and reasonable value of the use and income of the Municipal plant to the town of Lamoni, during the eight months and thirteen [?] days was the sum of $10,000. The town estimates that the use of the plant was worth the sum of $1,250 per month. These figures are based on the first annual report of the Lamoni Municipal Plant which included the following: For the 12-month period ending March 31, 1941, the town of Lamoni received an income from the operation of the plant the sum of $34,076.56 and that during that time the town paid out of earnings for the operating expenses the sum of $12,041.36, leaving a gross operating profit of $22,035.20. The report continues with the statement that the town of Lamoni paid out during the period the sum of $2,970.06 on bonds and interest charged off upon its books the some of $4,157.77 as depreciation, leaving a net profit for the year ending March 31, 1941. of $14,907.37. COLLEGE OPENS FOR 46TH YEAR 329 Registered and More To Be Enrolled - Activities Include Opening Convention, Reception Wednesday afternoon found 329 students registered at Graceland College with a number of students to still be enrolled. Fifteen minute classes were held during the afternoon in preparation for regular class work scheduled to start on Thursday morning. Registration this year took longer than in previous years and two reasons were advanced for that: There are more students being enrolled and more attention is given each student by the faculty advisors who assist in making out schedules. Thursday morning the opening convocation will be held at the Chapel with Pastor D. B. Borden as the speaker. On Friday evening the Faculty Reception will take place and will be participated in by all students. Next Wednesday a final check will be made of registrations. Dr. Broyles, of Bethany, Mo., was engaged by the college as the examining physician this year. Officials of the Jefferson Bus lines, employees of the local postoffice and J. P. Jefferies of the Burlington [railroad] depot were made aware of the influx of students this year due to the large increase in their business. Postmaster Blair had to call for a truck to deliver parcel post packages and extra buses were employed to take care of the passengers. SERVICE HELD FOR BELOVED TEACHER OF MANY CITIZENS Services were held Thursday afternoon from the LDS church in Pleasanton for the late Miss Silva Vandel, who passed away September 1. D. B. Borden was the minister and burial was made at the Pleasanton [Hamilton] cemetery. Miss Vandel devoted her life to teaching. Her interest was not only to teach text book philosophy but to instill ideas of truth, honor and loyalty into her pupils. Although she had no children of her own, men, women and children "will rise up to call her blessed." Miss Vandel was born September 3, 1860 [1868 according to cemetery transcription], and at an early age united with the Latter Day Saint Church and lived a devoted member. She is survived by six brothers, who served as pallbearers, many nieces and nephews and a host of loving friends. WORK AT LAKE AWAITS A CCC CAMP IN AREA Decatur County Has First Priority On CCC Camp for Nine Eagles - All Preliminary Work Done A request has been entered by the State Conservation Commission for a CCC camp in the area of the proposed state lake and park "Nine Eagles" in Decatur county but due to recent cuts in CCC camps it will not be possible to have a camp available for any development work in the Nine Eagles area at this time, according to V. W. Flickinger, chief of the lands and waters division. Mr. Flickinger says, "Under present conditions it is doubtful whether a camp will be available for some time to do any work at Nine Eagles, however, the development of that area is on first priority so far as work is concerned. The first available camp, if CCC continues, will be scheduled for the Decatur county area." "Due to the serious emergency facing the country it is difficult to get materials for any construction work at this time," he continues. However, there has been an appropriation made for the lake and park and a crew of men has been at work at the lake site drilling to the rock for purpose of locating proper footing for the dam. All preliminary work is being done so that when a camp is assigned there will be no delay in work. HOWARD HOME IS DAMAGED BY FIRE CAUSED BY STOVE Fire at the Piercy Howard home on Sunday evening damaged the kitchen, bedroom and back porch. Howard estimated that the damage would reach approximately $1,500. The fire resulted when an oil stove in the kitchen flared up. The heat, according to local firemen, was intense and a strong wind was blowing which seemed to threaten the entire house. The fire was brought under control before it spread to other rooms of the large house. In the confusion Mr. Howard lost the pocketbook containing the receipts of the oil station but was fortunate enough to recover it the next morning. BREAKS ARM IN FALL Mrs. T. J.

Slaymaker - Seeks Title, Damages A suit has been filed in the district court of Decatur county by Moroni Shippy against the town of Lamoni, its mayor, J. C. Danielson, its councilmen and O. M. Slaymaker. Shippy seeks to establish ownership of property he contends that he purchased from J. P. Komers and to secure damages to the extent of $300 resulting from trespassing of a tenant who rented the said land from the town of Lamoni. The present litigation grows out of a previous suit brought by Mr. Shippy, presented by O. M. Slaymaker, against the town for damages allegedly caused by odors from the sewage disposal plant. The case was dismissed when the town purchased the 40 acres for the sum of $1,500 and a deed was delivered to the municipality by O. M. Slaymaker, attorney for the plaintiff.

COSIE JOHNSON Cosie, the oldest child of Grant and Sarah Jones, was born near Davis City, Iowa, November 13, 1880. Even in childhood she exhibited the characteristics of an able mind, and a courageous spirit which were to lend themselves to all the activities of her life. As the oldest in the family, she carried responsibilities in the care of the younger children, and pioneered in setting an example both in school and in conduct for them to follow. She learned early and a 16 years of age taught her first school. After two short terms of teaching, she attended Graceland College for a year, and afterwards taught for four more years. On March 5th, 1913, she was united in marriage to Ralph W. Johnson, of Nova Scotia, whom she had met at Graceland. After a short stay in Nova Scotia, they returned to Iowa and have made their home in or near Lamoni ever since. Six children blessed their home, all of whom survive: Winona (Mrs. Ronald Hunt), of Rosalie, Neb.; Rodney, of Camp Claiborne, Louisiana; Grant, of Waterloo; Alice (Mrs. Dale Coffman), of Des Moines; Helen, who has been working in Des Moines; and Anna Pearl, at home. Hers has been a busy life, rearing the children, caring for the home, also ready to help in neighborhood clubs and in the homes of the friends who needed her. It has not always been an easy life. In 1917, when her two older children were very small, her husband was called into the nation's service. Shortly thereafter the third child was born. Left with the care of the farm and her little children, she carried on and kept things going until Ralph returned from over seas. Post war depression, land deflation and the late depression, all increased the hazards and the struggle. Not once did she complain or shirk from her tasks - hers was the courage and the bright outlook that gave strength to her own efforts and stimulated others to their best endeavors. She had the happy faculty of making all who worked with her feel that theirs was and important part in every task they undertook. Her children felt that inspiration as did her brothers and sisters, everyone pays tribute to that trait in her. One of the clubs she helped to foster was named in her honor. The following was written by the club in tribute to her memory: "In 1939 a club was organized in our community. It was through our very dear friend and neighbor, Cosie Johnson, that we organized. "Cosie was elected president of our club and we named it for her, 'The Kozy Korner Klub.' She was also leader of our district for the farm bureau work and was much interested in both the farm bureau and the club work. The weather was neither too cold or too hot for Cosie to attend these meetings and we fell that much good was done through her in bringing the women of our [her?] sunny disposition and cheerful presence [which] will be a very sacred memory in our hearts. She was a wonderful example. "Cosie has gone upstairs and closed the door; "We won't see her here anymore. "But the life she lived with us, "Leads to a higher place we trust; "And if we travel Cosie's way, "The club will meet again some day." (Written by Ethel Hembry in behalf of the Kozy Korner Klub). She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary in 1934 and always did her utmost in helping and supporting the work of that organization. Some of her duties in recent years have been as chairman of the Americanism, and as Chaplain. As a girl she joined the Re-organized Church and faithfully did her part in all ways possible. She helped the church and in turn found help in rearing her family, all of whom were baptized in the church. She passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, September 3, 1941. Besides her husband, children and three grandchildren, she leaves to mourn; her aging parents, four sisters and five brothers, Lewis, of Creston; Christy (Mrs. Geo. Banister), near Lamoni; Lonso, of Warrensburg, Mo.; David, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Elsa (Mrs. John Taylor), of Independence, Mo.; Hazel (Mrs. John Uthoff), of Iowa City; Donald, of Iowa City; Gertrude (Mrs. Howard Ulrey), of Lamoni; and Gerald, of Los Angeles. Here was a courageous, dauntless spirit. It does not seem real that she is gone. She would be the last to yield [clipped] weep in loneliness but feel the strength of the spirit that was hers and which still abides. R. A. Ballantyne was the officiating minister and was assisted by Fred Ballantyne.
