Jul. 09, 1952-"Cancer Sufferer Who Urged Prayer Dies"
Hattiesburg, Mississippi-E.N. Hendry, 58, who
suggested a national day of prayer for divine help in
spending a recovery of a cure for cancer, died of the
disease at Methodist Hospital here.
The former cattleman knew that he had only a short time
to live when he made his appeal. From his hospital bed
he said: "I would like to see a day set aside for all
the United States to get on their knees and pray that
God will guide our scientists in their search for a
cure for cancer."
"It's too late for it to do it me any good, but if I
can know that I had something to do with starting such
a day, then I will be content to die."
Before his death, Mr. Hendry was told that his
appeal was being given national notice.

(Che-mo-ko-mon speaks of St. Joseph being an indust-
rious place that is 5 years old as of 1849)
Last evening I rode out about two miles to "camp Rou-
dabeaux" to see our late fellow townsmen, Lieutenent
Beckett, who I was most happy to find in greatly im-
proved health. Most of this party I had previously
known in St. Louis.
Beckett was busily engaged frying potatoes. He left
the potatoes to bid me a cordial welcome, and seating
myself on a sack of corn with the jovial set of "camp
Roudabeaux", I enjoyed that supper as none others but
campaigners can appreciate. To-morrow (sic) I have
promiised to take camp fare with Cottle, Sydell and
Knox, one and one quarter a mile from town, and to sup
with Leffler and Sturgis. Yesterday, Frank Brooks came
in. He left the county fifteen miles out. We expect
them all to-morrow or next day. I will here annex a
list of all that I have met with from Iowa up to the
twenty-fourth: Oliver Cottle, Shannon Knox, F. Brooks,
Leffler, Sturgis, Sydell, Burlington. Richey, Yellow
Springs; Redding, Fair and Denmark crossed the river
several days ago. Tiffany, Hill, Lotspiech, Fisk,
Saunders and Grantham, Mount Pleasant; Townsend, Wap-
ello; Judge Hastings and Dr. Olds, Bloomington;
Hendry and Mitchell, Red Rock.

IOWA CITY PRESS CITIZEN,Iowa City,Iowa
Jun. 20, 1923-"Raid on Jail"
AP-Atlanta, GA.-Governor Hardwick today signed an order
authorizing Adjutant General L.T. Pope to establish
military rule at Savannah where a mob threatened the
jail early today to capture a negro held on a charge of
attacking a white woman; in event the situation demand-
ed such action.
General Pope stated at 11:30 o'clock that reports re-
ceived at his office from Savannah indicated the sit-
uation was well in hand and for the present, military
rule would not be established.
Although several persons are in hospitals in a more or
less serious condition as a result of the rioting, only
one person was killed so far as is known. The mob
formed shortly before midnight when word spread
throughout Savannah that a negro was being held in the
city jail.
Sheriff Dixon sought to disperse the gathering but
failed. He then turned city firemen to turn water on
the mob and six streams poured out. Bricks were hurl-
ed at the firemen. Chief Hendry was struck and
Sheriff Dixon's revolver was knocked from his hand.
Meanwhile when the menace appeared to grow, troops were
called out by Mayor Seabrooks. A detachment of machine
gunners reached the jail and took possession as a sec-
tion of the mob began to close in and firing ensued.
The military then pushed the mob back two blocks from
the jail. Rifles were fired over the head of the mob
and at 2:30 o'clock the crowd had dispersed.

Jun. 23, 1939-"Next issue: "How to Breathe in Water" by Helen
Hendry"
Jun. 24, 1939-"Correct Breathing" by Helen Hendry
New York-It's natural to turn the head to the side on
each stroke, take a deep breathe through the mouth,
and then exhale through the nose when the face is in
water.
It was pointed out to me that I wasted energy and in-
terrupted my speed when I turned my head for air with
each stoke of the arm.
I trained myself to turn my head, never bringing my
mouth too high above the water, and to inhale enough
air in one breath to last for four strokes.
By eliminating excess head motion and exhaling slowly
at all times, I bettered my form and speed.
I use a large gliding racing dive which carries me 5 to
8 yards before I start my stroke.
The advantage thus obtained often was the difference
between myself and the nearest competitor at the end of
the race.

Nov. 26, 1926-"Many Visitors at Izaak Walton Metting"
The Izaak Walton meeting held at the Kessler Hotel last
Thursday evening was well attended, their being about
seventy present, including the following visitors:
Harry Erwin, Grand Junction, executive secretary Iowa
Division; A.C. Willford, H.H. Yordy, G.A. Hendry
and Mr. Coburn, of Waterloo; H.E. Story, R.S. Sherwood,
Dr. Chamberlain, Harry Juel and M.J. Kemmerer, of
Parksburg; R.L. Gustafson, J.W. Hazard and Glenn Hurd,
of Clarksville; C. Miner, Ravena, Nebraska; F.E. Trigg,
D.P. Ryan, V.L. Mosher and J.W. Carman, of Rockford.
A fine luncheon was served by Mr. and Mrs. Hawks during
which time the juvenile band under the leadership of
Professor Lewis discoursed several selections.
Immediately following the luncheon Dr. Call called the
metting to order for a short business session of the
Commercial Club, after which P.H. Junger, chairman of
the Izaak Walton League presided. After a few pre-
liminary remarks he introduced Harry L. Erwin, se-
cretary of the state division of the league. During
his remarks he gave some very interesting information
regarding developements in the river pollution matter
and his talk was highly interesting.
A.C. Wilford was the second speaker introduced. In
making his opening remarks he stated that he enjoys
coming to Greene and comes here so often that he knows
just where to find his plate at the table.
His talk was very inspriring and put pep into the meet-
ing. He emphasized the fact that the eyes of the en-
tire country are focused on Greene because of the
effort put forth here to stop the terrible pollution of
the Shell Rock River which prevailed at Greene and
Marble Rock for the past nine years and which is caused
by the dumping of waste matter and untreated sewage
into Lime Creek by the industries at Mason City, the
greatest offender being the sugar factory. He also
gave the local Waltonians the assurance that the whole
Izaak Walton League is giving them their support and
cooperation to win the fight. He is a very forceful
speaker and shoots straight from the shoulder.
A third visitor on the program was F.E. Trigg, editor
of the Rockford Register. His talk also exceedingly
interesting because he made a visit to the sugar fact-
ory that day so he could report on the very latest de-
velopements. Mr. Trigg is one of the most ardent ad-
vocators of clean streams and a great clean outdoors
that we have in this community and it is a pleasure to
listen to what he has to say.
Short talks were also made by local Ikes and were
greatly enjoyed.
An effort will be made to double the present member-
ship before the next meeting. Officers of the Greene
Chapter are lining up considerable business to be
transacted at the next regular meeting, and it is hoped
that a large attendence will be present.

"Dear Bro Ike,
The Waterloo Chapter, Izaak Walton League of America,
is putting on a banquet in Waterloo, Feb. 8, 1927, at
6:30 and every chapter in Northeast Iowa will be in-
vited. We have part of an elk carcass from the Jackson
Hole for this feed, and want the rest of the fellows to
share it with us. The elk was furnished by Cliff Hall-
owell, who got a special permit from the government.
The best part of the meeting is that our national pre-
sident, Charles W. Folds, of Chicago, will be here and
give us a talk. Will also have a program. You should
call a meeting at once to find out how many from your
chapter will attend. Collet 75 cents per man. Send
their name, together with check, not later than Friday,
Feb. 4, so that we can take care of their reservations.
Direct everybody to come to the Masonic Temple, corner
of Sycamore and Park Avenue. Get busy at once, for
this is the one opportunity to serve, and it is up to
you now to help the cause, and a good Ike only needs a
chance to serve. So, whether it is one or a dozen, get
them at once and send their names and check to cover
total, to A.C. Willford, Box 2422, Waterloo, Iowa; and
remember the time and place, corner of Sycamore and
