INVESTIGATING FLOOD VICTIMS NEEDS INSTATE Talks With Sufferers To Get First-Hand Facts Governor Clifford M. Townsend left Indianapolis yesterday to spend two days in Southern Indiana among the flood victims. He stated before leaving that he plans to investigate the conditions and* attempt to obtain information, as to the needs of the flood sufferers. He is making the tour by auto and boat. The tour was scheduled to start at Evansville and end at Lawrenceburg, embracing the area where losses of life and property were highest. The governor is accompanied by heads of the national guard, highway department, board of health,* Works Progress Administration and a representative of the press. Cites Two Reasons. Two reasons were outlined by the governor for his trip. One was to survey the scene so he may be able to answer any questions about rehabilitation needs for federal officials; the other to talk to flood victims themselves so he may determine their attitude. Estimates of the damage wrought generally by the flood range from $50,000,000 to more than $100,000,000. Lieut. Col. Hans H. Skabo, national guard provost marshal, after a tour of river cities and towns, said: “I believe that when a final appraisal of general damage is made, it will run closer to $100,000,000.”

| FRED W. BRAUN Ifc. K What is carbon monoxide gas? Carbon monoxide gas may be formed by burning almost any kind of fuel without enough oxygen. A very small percentage <>f carbon monoxide gas in the ail will cause headache, then unconsciousness, then, death. The blood hs a great affinity for carbon monoxide and absorbs it from the lungs instead of the oxygen which is needed to sustain life. An automobile engine running in an ordinary small garage with doors and windows closed will produce enough carbon monoxide gas to kill you in a few moments. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless, colorless, and very deadly. You cannot feel it, see it, smell it, or taste it. Never run the motor of your car unless the garage doors and windows are open.

They were brothers, Carl Sawyer, aged 10, and James SSawyer, aged 9. The pair was rescued by Lloyd Disher.

In the meantime Lloyd Disher of Disher’s Mill, saw the boys plight, and started to push a rowboat out on the ice to the boy. Beckman broke through the ice in attempting to reach the victim, and Disher succeeded in getting to him first. Almost Frozen. After being taken ashore in the boat, both boys were taken to the home of Miss Mayme Wogoman, who operates The Gift Shop.
