estimated it would take five to six months to rehabilitate the Evans- |

on the Indiana border.

Shift of flood operations to the

Mississippi River by the National Red Cross begins tomorrow. William DeKleine, chief medical officer, is to move his Evansville headquarters to Memphis. Newspapermen today were recounting adventures on the Ohio after two groups of correspondents participated in rescues while tour-

ing the inundated areas yesterday. One boat reported rescue of three men dumped into the water when their boat capsized. Paul Schmidt, Vanderburgh County Red Cross chairman, Phil Drachman, disaster chairman and James Crawford, boatman, were the victims. Schmidt

| “The doctor asked me why I | didn't shed any tears over leaving my husband, my son and my grand- | son in Lawrenceburg,” she told me | as our cab sped to the Union Station from the Fair Grounds with | only 12 minutes to make the one daily train to Batesville, “But crying wouldn't help any. !: After 69 years I've learned that.” Everybody has been so good to her, she said, that she is satisfied to do anything she is told.

School Badly Damaged

Ralph Irons, Evansville school | superintendent, inspected 10 city schools which suffered water damage and estimated the school city’s | damage at $500,000 “at least.” | Schools will be closed for two or three weeks, Mr. Irons said. Bosse and Central High Schools were! inundated. Heat in the downtown hotels and | business places awaits restoration of water facilities. Electric heaters and oil stoves still are in general | use.

Especially During This Treacherous Winter Weather When Colds Are More Of A Menace Than Ever, Your Family Needs This Extra Protection

1. To Help PREVENT Many Colds — Keep out of crowds. Get plenty of fresh air, rest, and sleep. Eat light, wholesome food. Drink plenty of water. Keep elimination regular. Watch yourself and your family after any exposure likely to be followed by a cold. Then —at the first sniffle or sneeze or the slightest irritation in the nose—quick! put a few drops of Vicks Va-tro-nol up each nostril. Va-tro-nol is specialized medication, expressly designed for the nose and upper throat, where most colds start. Used in time, it helps to prevent many colds or to throw off head-colds in their early stages.

2. To RELIEVE a Cold Sooner—If a cold strikes without warning or gets by even the best precautions—as some colds always will—go straight to bed. Eat lightly and drink plenty of water and fruit juices. For prompt relief, use this vigorous treatment with your

dependable Vicks VapoRub: Massage it briskly on the back (between and below the shoul« der-blades) as well as on the throat and chest, for 3 full minutes. Then spread a thick layer over the chest and cover with a warmed cloth. Long after you relax into restful sleep, VapoRub’s famous poul-tice-vapor action continues for hours to loosen phlegm, ease coughing, and help break up local congestion.

Sickness From Colds Cut in Half!

These two easy steps are the basis of Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds. Vicks Plan 1s a simple, practical plan which any mother can easily follow in her own home. It is also a tested plan. In the most extensive colds-clinic of its kind ever conducted —among 17,353 subjects — Vicks Plan resulted in fewer colds and shorter colds—cut down sickness from colds more than half!
