This pumper was the former Engine No. 2 which saw service from 1921 to 1950. It was orginally purchased for 9,000. For the sake of comparison, a new 1986 pumper might cost between $140,000 and $150,000 depending on the options selected.

Covenant Medical Center personnel provided tours of their Mobile Mammography Vehicle, a recreation vehicle outfitted with a low dosage portable mammography unit, which enables the hospitals to provide this service to people in the smaller communities of Northeast Iowa. Ambulance personnel gave free blood pressure check-ups and explained the equipment in their rolling emergency room. Across the knoll from the antique cars was a line of booths which included a balloon stand featuring a pair of Shrine clowns and a food stand at which lemonade and cookies could be purchased at "vintage prices." Oneof the more unique offerings was to be had at Dr. Foster's Miracle Cure Booth. Forrest Holland, dressed as "Dr.

Foster," dispensed words of wisdom as he offered samples of the "magic elixer of life," a liquid that looked and tasted suspiciously like water. Holland was assisted in his booth by his wife Ruth. One of the most popular parts of the Celebration was the Carriage Service by Marilyn. Visitors were charged 50 cents for a horse-drawn spin around the park. By JIM MeCREA For the Courier The My Waterloo Days Vintage Life Celebration was a festival of sunshine, music and friendship.

Several hundred people gathered in Byrnes Park to enjoy a variety of attractions including swing music, an antique car display, a medicine show pitchman, and borse-drawn carriage rides. The event was sponsored by the Vintage Life Center of the Covenant Medical Center. Vintage Life offers services for people 55 and older so the park had a decidedly old-fashioned flavor. Center stage was occupied by the Bill Shepherd Orchestra, a 12-piece band that performed swing standards for an appreciative audience. Many of the people in the crowd set up lawn chairs in the shade and remained throughout the afternoon, talking to friends and listening to music.

They were also treated to a birthday cake in honor of the first anniversary of Vintage Life. Joining in the festivities was Sen. Charles Grassley who was offered a lifetime membership in the Vintage Life Club because of his interest in the Covenant Elderly Advisory Board. THE ANTIQUE car display was provided by the Antique Auto Club of America, a Waterloo-based organization of approximately 50 members. There were eight cars on display ranging from a 1924 Ford to a 1954 Packard.

A vintage vehicle of another type was the 1921 American La France fire engine shown by the 1 IoriLageLife Courier photos by RICK CHASE There was a variety of activities during the My Birthday cake was served, above, to celebrate Waterloo Days Vintage Life Celebration.
