• July 26, 1945 There had not been as much comment about anything on Hartley’s main street as there was in the case of the “missing bench.” Before it was put on the missing list, the bench was situated just north of the entrance to the new post office, but one bright day it disappeared. Comment was both for and against its absence and amateur sleuthing was rampant, but no matter of investigation divulged its whereabouts. It was just plain gone. Workmen were busy getting things arranged so that the school building would be ready for occupan...

"You deserve to win this game. Let's go!" When Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn coach Carissa Post said that the Hawks were playing their best softball when it counted most – in postseason play against a state-ranked opponent. The Hawks responded by taking a one-run lead in the top of the seventh inning, putting them on the brink of upsetting River Valley (1A No. 15). But the favored Wolverines answered the challenge and when the winning run crossed the plate to end the regional quarterfinal game, the H...

Rumor was rampant that infantile paralysis was spreading in Hartley, but there was no justification for such statements. City health physician Dr. E. Pfeiffer did urge that precautions be t...

"That was the first time when we put a full seven innings of really good baseball together." Junior Sam Heyn followed up a strong pitching...
Opponents' late-inning scoring sprees kept Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn winless in three softball games last week. An eight-run fifth inning in South O'Brien's 13-2 win was a sign of things to come. The Wolverines added four runs in the first inning and another in the third during the June 29 contest in Hartley. "We were able to keep ourselves in the game through our defense," Hawk coach Carissa Post said. "But then our defense slowly started to fade and we ended up with costly errors." H-M-S cut the...
• July 5, 1945 A plan to organize a soil conservation district in O’Brien County was drawn up by the soils committee of the program planning board. The committee felt there was sufficient need to have a district organized to take care of a soils conservation program. S/Sgt. C.J.
