HARTINGTON—The East Bow Creek near Wynot is dry, and according to some of the early residents, this is the first time in their memory this has happened. The West Bow Creek, two miles west of town, along the Fritz Schroeder farm, is also dry, but this is not the first time this has happened. It is believed the West Bow went dry for the first time in September, 1933.

HARTINGTON — The Hartington Volunteer Fire Department will hold an Open House in its new fire house Sunday afternoon.
The new building is located east of the City Auditorium on the site of the old Congregational Church. When construction was completed last fall, the fire-fighting equipment was moved in November, 1964 from the old quarters in the City Auditorium and Hartington Motor Co. garage.
The building’s construction consists of a concrete floor, concrete block walls, wood overhead doors and steel joists and roof deck. The new facility provides space for an equipment room with stalls for four trucks, a meeting room where the firemen hold their meetings, toilet room and maintenance shop.
The general contractor was Emery Hoesing, who submitted the low bid of $27,000. Orville Asbra installed the heating and plumbing systems. L&M Electric installed the wiring and Dooley Bros. did the brick work.
Completion of the new fire house culminated several years of planning by the Hartington Volunteer Fire Department to obtain adequate housing for the city’s fire-fighting equipment.
