As I ventured down Main Street, I noticed that the exteriors of the buildings, in addition to being neat and trim, had the sign of solidity -of having endured for a long time and of having been a silent witness of much history. The sign of affluence be- came evident when I entered the stores and walked along the aisles of merchandise neatly displayed on the counters. The sign of improvement and progress appeared asl picked my way a- round the Men At Work signs near the newly paved streets. The sign of adequancy in the medical profession became manifest as the impressive Community Hospital was pointed out to me. A beautiful park with band shell, picnic tables, shelter house, and playground equipment signified that the people of Sioux Center had realized the need for recreation. The sign of prosperity showed itself in various ways. I noticed particularly that the cars lined up on Main Street were either new or in good condition. 4 P I Domi dlppliegf s. .,,, is KS EAST n I y . . am 5, i ix is f s :YT , -. ,s 3263 V at 'Q S .,'.,'gQi hw, ' -M. l .ul --I 4 7
