Rivaling the attention given the
.homespun' speeches, uttered by men
who eulogized Iowa, were the ninety
and nine county reunions. Space for
the individual county reunions was
marked off in the large open play
ground south of the conservatories.
Here the Iowans found friends, rela-
tives and acquaintance, exchanged
greetings and messages from the home
state and INDUCED in "reminiscences.
Back OF THE speakers stand, built
in a grove of eucalyptus growth, came
rumble of snare drums, the shrill
notes of the fife, the grooming of the
overburdened swings and the roaring
music of the merry-go-round
The bitter cold and storms which
have passed across Iowa since No
vember formed the general topic
Coming at the heels of this was the
often uttered Il am mighty glad I'm
here and not back east this winter
Los Angeles, the home of perpetual
summer and one Of the few places
where picnics and reunions may be
held the year through, is scheduled to
receive advertising of unlimited
wealth from the Iowa picnic of Wash
ington's birthday.
Among the speakers of the day was
former Senator Dodge from Burling-
ton, who said: The call Of civic duty
and state pride demand Of each of us,
as former Iowans, to give our loyal
support to every measure, plan and
means that has for it's ultimate end
the moral, intellectual and material
advancement Of this great common.
