HARTINGTON - Msgr. B. H. Lordemann reached his 44th milestone of his service in the priesthood Tuesday. No special observance of the occasion was planned, nor did Msgr. Lordemann plan to celebrate the event.
In honor of the event, however, a great many of the members of the parish attended mass, which he celebrated Tuesday morning, in his honor.
Following the mass three girls, Judy Kneifl, Rita Ann Litz and Connie Kathol, presented him with a card which informed him that members of the parish were replacing his old car with a new one to be delivered soon.
Judy made a speech of presentation, while the other little girls stood on either side, one wearing the numeral “07” for the year Msgr. Lordemann was ordained and the other a “51” for the 44th year.

HARTINGTON -Stock car racing is the sporting fad that has been sweeping the country in the past year or two and Hartington is no exception. The idea took hold here a year ago when several local men built cars to enter in the races at Sioux City. The honors for the first local racing job goes to Fran cis Winterringer, whose orange No. 99 was the first car to race at Sioux City.
Later, when the fair board staged stock car races on the fairgrounds track other cars were built.
Among those early cars were “The Blue Lady,” Burbach Motors No. 108 and Tuttle Bros. No. 132, one of the few Chevrolets in the stock car racing game in this area.
Among the early drivers of these cars were Mr. Winterringer, Jack Samelson, Johnny Rilbe and the two Tuttle brothers.
Last year the racing craze spread to Yankton and a quarter mile track was built there. The local cars also made a long trip westward to race at Bassett.
It might be well to explain here what stock cars are, and how the stock racing cars dier from the ordinary car you see on the highway.
A stock car must not be changed materially from the way it was built at the factory except for a few safety features.
The same motor, gears, wheels and other parts must be used. They cannot be geared up or the motors “souped up.”

WASHINGTON, D. C. — The fate of Gavins Point Dam will be determined by what happens to other amendments to the appropriations bill on military civil functions, Rep. Karl Stefan said here today.
A budget request of $5,000,000 to begin construction of the Gavins Point Dam on the Missouri River was denied in a House committee report. Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota congressmen met today to discuss strategy for getting approval.
"Amendments will be oered on about 10 other projects,” Rep. Stefan said. “If they are successful, we will push one from the house floor on Gavins Point Dam.”
Otherwise, he added, action to include funds for the dam, part of the Missouri River development project, will have to be taken in the Senate.
