Welcome to October of 1929! As the month begins, aviation advances continue to be made around the the world but, at the Homes, they are welcoming visitors and preparing for a long winter. Money woes continue and in asking for money to pay the debt, the newsletter urged: "The more debts we pay, the sooner we will be able to banish the wolf of interests which is now unbidden eating the food of the children." A brother and sister who grew up at the Homes come back for a visit and the girls move into the new dormitory. Readers of the Muscatine newspaper are interested in the plight of 2 children who are placed at the Homes after being cared for by an infamous Muscatine resident. The end of the month brings Black Thursday and Black Tuesday but also a Halloween celebration.
