Hurricane Loss Cut Drastically

Fatalities One-Fortieth |

Of Those 20 Years Ago

By Selence Service WASHINGTON, July 19—Loss of life in hurricanes in this coun-

try has been cut to one-fortieth!® of its former magnitude in the, past 20 years, thanks to better } warning services and preparedness § against disaster, states Howard C. Sumner of the U. S. Weather Bu-|{

reau.

Mr. Sumner’s figures are not absolute, but are measured by the amount of property damage. Much of the property exposed to hurricane damage, such .as docks, warehouses, bridges, field crops and orchards, cannot be moved out of harm's way. Get to High Ground But human beings can get to nigh ground and other secure places if they are told far enough in advance what is coming. Thus

1it has come to pass that for every

$10 million worth of storm-ruined property in the five-year period 1941-45 only four persons lost their lives, whereas in the 192630 period the comparable figure was 161. The weather bureau does not claim all the credit for this improvement, it is emphasized. Red Cross disaster relief, Army and Navy air reconnaissance, both professional and “ham” radio stations, the press, telephone and telegraph companies, and alert private citizens have all contributed towards the “vast improvement in the life-saving rec‘ord.

Bozo was a patient cat, and the crowd was patient, too.

He telephoned Ben Altman, the owner of the shop, who arrived shortly before midnight. In the meantime thé policeman and some of the spectators had rapped on the window and thrust burning newspapers against it, trying to frighten Bozo away from the cage. He held his ground until he heard Mr. Altman open the front door. Other Pets Awaken Bozo scooted through the store with Mr. Altman in pursuit.
