Electricity is usually not needed for “rugged” camping, but it helps a lot for winter camping and for such outings as Girl Scout day camp in the spring and the Jamboree in the fall, which are annually held at Fern Cliff.

Air Force B52 bombers, making their 20th strike of the war, today raided a known Communist hideout about 20 miles north of
Saigon.
The big eight-engine jets saturated the area with tons of bombs while thousands of American Marines and South Vietnamese pressed a hammer-and-anvil assault against a suspected Viet Cong stronghold 20 miles south of Chu Lai. The offensive began Tuesday and continued into the night. Troops met only light small arms resistance during the early stages of the mission on the five mile wide Ba Lang An Peninsula 345 miles northeast of Saigon. The area is only five miles from last month's big Marine victory on the Van Tuong Peninsula which killed 600 Communist guerrillas. The target of today’s B52 raid was in the vicinity of Ben Cat, an area of guerrilla strength close to the first B52 attack last June. Beauty Judging Starts Tonight ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

Now You Know By United Pren International Approximately 5,000 persons died in the hurricane and tidal wave which hit Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 8, 1900, according to the World Almanac.
MIAMI UPI — Hurricane Betsy, a 600-mile-wide giant, crashed into the southern tip of Florida with mounting fury early today driving 18,000 coastal residents from their homes in the face of 140 mile-an-hour winds and predicted 25foot waves. Gusts of 110 miles an hour were clocked at Fort Lauderdale and 105 m.p.h. at Miami, both on the strongest north side ol the storm, as Betsy drove to within a few miles of the Florida keys. At 4 a.m. EDT the weather bureau located Betsy’s 40-mile-wide, dead calm eye near latitude 25.1 north, longitude 79.8 west, about 35 miles east of Key Largo and 50 miles southeast of Miami. The hurricane was moving westward toward the Gulf of Mexico on the other side of the string of Keys at about 10 miles an hour. Forecasters said the center should cross the Keys near Key Largo about daybreak. This would throw the strongest northeast quadrant of the storm against the coast south of Miami about that time—just when high tide was due and winds should shift to the east off the
ocean.
With the worst still to come, damage reports began pouring into police and civil defense headquarters: Inundated roads, smashed business places and unroofed homes, despite advance boarding up along th% glittery Gold Coast. One man was killed at Tampa by a tree felled in Betsy's ad vanee winds. The Coast Guard feared for nine people apparently stranded aboard houseboats near a mangrove island in Biscayne Bay south of Miami. The hurricane ripped mercilessly at Miami Beach's hotel row, sending seas pounding against sandbag barriers around beach front hotels and smashing shop fronts. Police arrested three looters. In Miami, thieves braved Betsy’s fury to break through a department store roof and rob a safe. Bursts of orange and blue fire lit up the sky as neon signs and electric transformers blew out and power failed in Miami. Rains drove almost parallel in the wind. Seaside highways were inundated. Rocks two feet in diameter were tossed up on the overseas highway to Key West by the raging seas. On Key Biscayne. a residential inland community of 10,000 in Biscayne Bay which authorities urged to be evacuated earlier, coconuts flew like cannonballs, smashing through windows and cracking the sides of houses. Some residents chose to batten down and wait out the storm in their homes or nearby
motels.
