The Midwest is Red?
During my last pastorate, I lived in Kellogg, Iowa, a tiny town nine miles east of Newton.
Newton is the home of Maytag Appliances. You may have noticed from the TV ads that the name of the lonely Maytag repairman's dog is Newton.
The city of Newton (the county seat of Jasper County, BTW), is in a chronic state of pins and needles because of layoffs at Maytag and rumors that the plant will move out of state. Recently the whole central part of Iowa was thrown into a state of extreme apprehension by the news that Maytag is about to be sold.
Well, it seems that the shock may be a large one indeed; one of the leading contenders to take over Maytag is the Red Chinese!
