was one of the warmest and most oppres-

an electrical atmospheric disturbance about

threatened storm for while, but ended
in beautiful sunset and rendered atmos-

note to The Post from Sartartia calls
attention to an error made in reporting
tine flood news in that section on July T.
One paragraph in regard to the situation
around Sartartia was that nothing had
been heard of the Widow Parks. who lived
with her aged father and three children
on Oyster creek
In the rush and excitement of the time
Il was nearly impossible to avoid an oc-
casional error and this statement In par
ticular, 1t seems, was wholly wrong. The
lady mentioned is Mrs, Cleo Parks, whose
husband is living, though he was away
from home at the time Of the flood. Mrs
Parks and her family were cared for by
MIR. and Mrs. w. D. Fields during the
overflow. She and her husband reside on
Oyster creek and Mrs. Parks :ather lives
with them.
