As Flood Takes Home
Editor' note! Bert Rem
ceunlre, laborer at Pierre.
S. .D.. watched the Missouri
river burat lit banki and
weep away hli home and all
hit belongings. He wa one of
the thousand! ol reildenti left
nothing when Pierre became a
mnken city.
By BERT REMCOUNTRE
Ai Told to United Press
Pierre, S. D. (U.R) The water
first started to come Monday.
We didn't believe It would be
so high. They all told us it
wouldn't go so high. We just
didn't believe it.
We went to bed Monday night
and then something woke us up.
It sounded just like the wind but
it wasn't the wind, it was the
water.
We knew it was coming up
fast and we started to get the
stuff out. My wife and I and two
boys took the bedding and cook
ing utensils and some clothes out
of the house and piled them up
on a bank.
Couldn't Get Back
When we came back to get an
other load, the water was so
high we couldn't get back in. By
that time it had come up so fast
that it even took away the stuff
wo stacked on the bank.
We weren't so scared. But we
Just couldn't believe it could
come up so fast.
Monday and Tuesday night we
stayer with a neighbor. Then we
had to move again and we got
separated from him. Wednesday
night we slept in the depot.
Our whole house went down
the river.
Will Be Able To Eat
Ail we got are the clothes on
our backs and my job. With my
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Denver
Beetem, 22, had a costly day in
court. He pleaded guiiiy to sev
en complaints of speeding, mo
tor vehicle registration and mak
ing unnecessary noise. He was
fined $107 but appealed.
job at least we'll be able to eat
when the water goes down.
All I'm worrying about now is
a place to stay. I worried about
all our stuff for a while but that's
all gone and it's no use to
worry.
We sure do feel bad about the
boy's new bicycle. He just bought
it and never even rode it. tie
cried when it went down the
river. I guess we feel as bad
about that as anything.
We were in the 1943 flood,
but that wasn't so bad. All we
lost was the groceries.
This time it's different.
They say there's not much use
worrying but you can't help H
when you don't have anything
but the clothes on your back.
There's nothing left, Just
nothing left.

Derby officials
that boys enter the event as soon

early builders have more time
to perfect their designs, plan de
tails and construct their cars
more carefully.
A soap box derby car must
be built, without adult help, by
the boy who races it. They may
receive advice from their parent,
school manual training teachers
or from older boys. However,
they must not allow anyone to
construct any part of the car.
A few changes have, been
made in the official rules this

and techniques, budgeting pro
cedure, public relations and so
cial planning.

nity planning.

and invitations have been ex
tended to all officers and direc
tors of local community chests,

tiple drives ought to send one or
more representatives to the conference.
