TYPHUS PERIL
Sends Vaccine to Flood Areas; Ohio’s Crest
Reaches Indiana. . The crest of the Ohio river flood
passed into Indiana today as the}
state health board acted to protect the water supplies of each community in the affected area. Early reports indicated that the estimates of the flood levels had .been too high, but the crests still were the highest since the 1937 flood. ’ Dr. Thurman B. Rice, acting head of the state health board, said that chlorinators had been rushed to cities and towns along the Ohio river to insure pure drinking water and reduce the possibilities of typhoid. He said vaccines had been sent to these towns but he “hoped they wouldn't be necessary.” At Cincinnati the Ohio river fell slowly today from its near nine feet above flood stage. The river reached 60.8 feet before it crested here. * Steel rolling mill operations across | the river at Newport, Ky., still were | affected. by the flood waters. Cold
weather moving into the area would
delay the cleaning up job, it was reported. Gen. Paul Ransom, commander at Camp Breckenridge, Ky. toured corn fields in an amphibian “jeep.” He made a personal inspection tour of his 700 soldiers who are toiling in the fields of Vanderburg county, Indiana, and Henderson county, Kentucky, attempting to salvage the engulfed corn.

HOPE IS REVIVED FOR MEEHAN KIN
Wife Gets Optimistic Note From Successor in Air Corps Post.
The hope that Col. Arthur W. Meehan—missing in the Pacific since Nov. 16—may be found was given his wife and parents today in a- letter from Col. Ralph E. Koon, the man who took over Col. Meehan’s command in the army air corps. Col. Koon wrote Mrs. Meehan,| who now resides with her two children, Judy and Susie, in Newburgh, N. Y. Mrs. Meehan forwarded the letter here to Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Clement, 115 S. Belmont ave.,-Mr. Meehan’s parents. A wide search was made for Col. Meehan’s plane, the letter said, but it was not discovered. “Planes in this theater have been missing for long periods of time and
the crews eventually showed up,”|-
the letter said “so hope is not lost.” On Sept. 16, 1942, Col. Meehan was awarded the distinguished flying cross for heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in a destructive bombing attack against Jap-held Wake island.
