• The Yankton Chamber of Commerce has pledged to cooperate with President Roosevelt’s new recovery program, known as the National Recovery Administration (NRA). Soon, badges featuring the NRA logo will appear in business places around town.
• The Yankton School Board voted last night not to close Webster School entirely, but to have one first grade, if not two, there. It is probable that an overflow from Garfield School will be sent to Webster, as well.

• Yankton City Manager Bill Ross reports that the city has been denied a waiver of the required 40 percent local matching funding for a state-administered federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) block grant.

• The Yankton Jacks topped the Yankton Lakers 4-3 in the first game of their amateur baseball playoff series, even though the Jacks had just three hits. Lee Brannan was the winning pitcher.
