Heavy Rain and Hail Hit Area With Floods and Damage
A severe Sunday storm delivered torrential rain and hail across the region, flooding Reed street and swelling the Big Sioux river. The hail damaged crops heavily, some areas nearly ruined, with losses estimated in the hundreds of thousands. Train service resumed Monday after tracks washed out north of town. The storm also disrupted telephone lines and produced a lively windstorm before dawn. In Plymouth County a twelfth annual tuberculosis case finding program was announced by Mrs. Erwin Holtgren. Public health nurse Ann Garrard will conduct county wide skin tests and chest X rays for exposed and unknown cases, with confidentiality maintained. The effort is funded by local health groups and state health authorities, aided by Christmas Seal funds.
