friend, and an unnamed friend from Berne. New floods early this week have added to the tough time the weather has given southern and southwestern Indiana. The Red Cross helps out during the most crucial hours after the disaster, administering first aid, doing rescue work, and quelling epidemics. After the emergency, it helps to put “the little guys'* back on their feet: the ones whose homes and ways of making a living have been washed away completely, and who cannot get loans. Helping the flood victims, the Red Cross helps to rebuild homes, (which are damaged severely by water and mud and with signs of the muddy remains staying for years afterward), provide household goods and occupational sup-

plies. The southwestern Indiana | flood disaster this year marks the third year some victims have been flooded out. It will require $175,000 this year to help out in the disaster area with the families who must be rehabilitated. July’s onslaught of rains, around Petersburg and Bedford, it is reported, have been the heaviest since 1913; The 1913 flood, which took 730 lives in Indiana and Ohio, demolishing most of Dayton, is’ listed with 35 major floods since 1219. Property damage was about 180 million dollars. Area residents are encouraged to give what they feel they can, the Red Cross office has stated, to this free-will fund for Hoosier flood victims. Those who want to help in any way should contact the Red Cross headquarters, 125 Madison street, before August 1.

Light Rain Falls During Noon Hour This noon a fifteen-minute shower forced homeward and lunch bound shoppers and workers to think about bringing out umbrellas and rain gear.
