Grim stastistics grow from tornado damage

Personal and Local

Grim statistics continue to grow as evidence of what the Chicago Weather Bureau described as the “heaviest incidence of tornadoes ever recorded.” Nearly 70 tornado strikes were recorded during the night hours of May 15 ranging form Arkansas to Wisconsin, Kansas to Ohio.Early Red Cross estimates indicate over 6,000 families effected thr. oughout the Midwest and this figure could easily grow. In Midwestern Area, worst hit are the communities of Charles City and Oelwein in northwest Iowa, with 4,000 or more families affected. Hundreds of other families were left homeless in De Witt County, Illinois; Freeburg, Illinois; and other communities in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Wis. consin. The reaction time of Disaster Action Teams in over a score of neighboring Red Cross chapters was being tallied in minutes. In Mason City, Iowa, 30 miles from Charles City, Disaster Action Teams were dispatched by Jack Nielsen, Chapter Chairman, and Glen Hayden, Executive Director, a scant 7 minutes after notification. First reports from the disaster site were relayed to the Mason City Chapter within the hour with relief activities already in full swing. Similar prompt and effective volunteer action was recorded by chapters near to every major tornado strike. Public response to the swift and able work of Red Cross volunteers was impressive. In Charles City, Iowa, Red Cross officials received a gift of $1,000 from a businessman who was traveling through the community on his way home, several hundred miles away. He expressed his thanks to Red Cross for the fine job of relief work that he had seen. Contributions in money, labor, and materials were being grated fully accepted by Red Cross chapters throughout the midwest. Public support of relief activities is particularly important because of the current financial condition

of the organiation. The timing of the wide range disaster was ironic in that only last week delegates to the Red Cross National C onvention' in Denver learned that the organization’s annual disaster budget of $10,000,000 was now depleted. This need was most aptly described in an editorial appearing in the Des Moines (Iowa) Register from which we quote. “The presence of Red Cross at a disaster sight has become taken for granted. Aside from financial help, they provide the knowledge and experience of staff members drawn from across the country providing invaluable help in bringing order out of the chaos of disaster.” “The present shortage of funds does not mean the Red Cross will not be making its full effort to deal with this week’s disaster. It is already on the job. It does, however, point out the fact that the Red Cross is able to help only as provate contributions finance that help. It does not draw upon inexhaustible resources.” Because of the public’s desire to assist the thousands of victims of these dread tornadoes, chapters are urged to inform their new media of the work being done by Red Cross and the financial needs involved. Chap, ters should send contributions directly to; Disaster Operations Headquarters Iowa Tornadoes, May- 1968, Dr 074 c-o North Central Iowa Chapter, ARC P.O.Box 1005 Mason City, Iowa 50402 or to Midwestern Area Office. The Putnam County Chapter received many calls from people who had relatives living in the stricken communities. Margaret Nelson Executive Secretary Putnam County Chapter American Red Cross

Mrs. Pat Aikman, Program Chairman, presented the flute trio. Sharon Thomas identified herself and in turn presented Heidi Knights and Diane Morris, on. They played “Theme”, and “March in B Flat”. Mrs. Aikman then announced that ten sixth-grade pupils in teams of two would speak on various subjects under the general heading of “Reflections of Our Four Years at Northeast”. Team one - Leota Boesen and Glenn Gass, spoke on “Obtaining Knowledge”. Team twoJerry Shonkwiler and Teri Buchanan had the topic “Physical Education”. Team ThreeTom Grubb and Deanna Pershing, talked about “Music at Northeast”. Team Four-Jay Franklin and Susan Robertson, spoke on “Art” and Team Five - Heidi Knights and David Deacon, talked about “Citizenship”. After the first two teams had delivered their speeches, Mr. Don Marketto, Band Director, led the Northeast Band in two numbers, “Celebration Overture” and “Invitation To The Dance”. When they had finished playing, he praised Rick Bittles, whom he said, had assumed the responsibility of not only setting up the chairs and music stands in the proper order on the stage, but had directed and worked with others to set up the necessary chairs in the multi-purpose room for last night's meeting. Following the band, teams three, four, and five gave their speeches. Then, Mrs. James Goodnow, Orchestra Director, presented the Northeast String Quartet. Tom Grubb, first violinist, acted as announcer and introduced Susan Robertsoncellist, and Stephanie Durham and Leota Boesen, both second violinists. The three numbers they played were “Air by Handel”, “Edelweiss” from the Sound of Music, and the “Theme Song from the Sound of Music”. On the last two numbers, Susan Robertson laid down her cello to accompany the group on the piano. The highlight of the evening came as Mr. Neier and Mr. Wilbur called off the names of their sixth-grade students ana Mr. Tzouanakis presented each with a paddle with their name and “Northeast 1968” inscribed upon it. Mr. Neier in presenting his group said, “They always have something going”. He said he hoped they would ever be changing and growing, and would always keep on trying. Mr. Wilbur gave a brief character sketch about each of his pupils as he came forward to receive his paddle, pointing out outstanding personality traits, and achievements in athletics, music, class activities and participation in a group called “Wilbur’s People”. It was an interesting and most enjoyable glimpse into the life of each child. Upon receiving his gift, each child found his place at the front and, under the able direction of Mr. Don Marketto, the group sang two closing songs—“Holla Hi, Holla Ho” and “Funiculi' Funicula”. With the close of the program, all were invited to share in refreshments in the cafeteria. Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. David McCracken, Mrs. Delbert White and Mrs. Don Bossart.

Expect to be “more on the spot” than ever before, says a woman boss of an unusual travel program. Europeans, always curious about Americans, will be asking more probing questions than ever, Mrs. Gertrude Lang says. “We’ll be answering about our role in Vietnam, questions on the race problem, on our election year,” she said. “It used to be that the most frequent questions were, ‘Why is your divorce rate so high?’ and ‘Why do Americans eat everything out of cans?’ ” “I suppose,” she continued, “that as we get many of our impressions of Europeans from their movies, they in turn often assess America from what they see on films.” Not On Defensive But Mrs. Lang hopes that adults and students (and it is with students that she deals) going overseas will not be on the defensivz, but will answer up “honestly about what they know, about what they understand.” “I want our student travelers to say so, if they don’t know. If one is asked about the wage of a Mississippi Negro worker, I’d hope he wouldn’t brag about America having the highest standard of living in the world, but would say he doesn’t know what the Negro earns. Instead, talk honestly of what goes on in his own community.” Mrs. Lang tells her student travelers that customs of other nations may be in sharp contrast to what they’re used to in America. She would hope that adult travelers would realize this fact too—“everything does not need to be judged or compared,” she said. “They are happy with their ways, as we are with ours.” She adds this advice, often forgotten by the demanding U.S. tourist: “Remember, good manners are in style everywhere.” Gertrude Lang, widow of an engineer, has for the past 10 years run Student Abroad, Inc., a New York-based agency which each summer takes groups of junior high schoolers, high schoolers, and college students on six to seven week visits to E u r o p e, concentrating on France, Italy and Spain. Started Small Students Abroad, Inc. “started small,” she said. “The first year, I just took a few students to the places I loved the most,” she said. Today, the groups drawn from all parts of the United States, Canada, and sometimes South America, add up to about 100 travelers.

Northeast honors 6th graders and parents

DEAR HELOISE: Some time ago you mentioned various foods that could be carried in a wide-mouthed vacuum bottle. But one thing not mentioned which I have been taking to work for nearly a year now, is ICE CREAM. Here is the procedure I use in packing it: Let the bottle sit Overnight in the refrigerator with the top off. Then get the ice cream from your freezer and dip out several scoops, easing them down into the bottle with a spoon, being careful not to touch the sides of the bottle. Be sure to fill the bottle full or the ice cream will not be firm. Mrs. Harold Payne * * * DEAR FOLKS: Know those loafers that we buy? Well, eventually we all love to wear ’em without socks. That’s when they get soiled inside. Especially If they are not lined wth leather or washable materials. So I buy mine a half-size larger than usual and at the same time buy innersoles to put inside them. This way they hug my tootsies, yet all I have to do is remove the innersoles and wash ’em! So next time when you buy a pair of loafers or have an old pair that have stretched, why not put innersoles in them ? I know you will love It. 1 do. Helolse * * * DEAR HELOISE: I'm one of your male l eaders who enjoys your column. Here is a hint for those with window’s stuck partly open after the window and frame have been painted. I use a rubber mallet to bang the sides of the window near the frame. Also apply a few hearty blows to the top and bottom of the w’indow. This sure beats the putty knife routine, and there is less marring of the wood and finish. Kent Coulidge * 4 * DEAR HELOISE: I’ve learned to always wash strawberries thoroughly before removing the stems. This keeps

them from mashing so easily and losing juice and flavor. My relatives live where they grow strawberries and I did not know this trick until last year, but I tried it and it sure works. Elaine Bolton * * * Bingo! You are as right as the strawberry Itself. Helolse * * * LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: I think I married a girl who had never made a cup of coffee in her life. But for someone who has even burned eggs while boiling ’em, she turned out to be the best cook and housewife that a man could have. When I was telling anothejhousewife about this, she said w’hen she was a young bride, the first time she cooked bacon she asked her husband howmuch grease to put in the skillet. I was just wondering if all housewives do "dumb" things, when they first start housekeeping? Happy Husband * * * How about It gals? Did you pull some dumb things when you were first married? 1 know I did. Jot them down and send them to me in care of this paper. Then we can all have a big laugh together. Helolse * * * DEAR HELOISE: When making a cake, instead of measuring the liquid and shortening separately, I do it at once. It saves using two measuring cups. Example: I use a two-cup pitcher and put one cup of milk and enough shortening in it to bring it up to the one and one-half cups mark if that's what the recipe calls for. Lift out the shortening with a fork and cream w-ith the sugar, then continue from there. Perfect measure for your shortening every time and saves washing a greasy measuring cup. as it will not stick to the milk-filled cup. Ruth Kimiecik
