Early Thursday morning workers

agents made a complete survey OF
practically the whole path OF the
storm. BY Thursday evening reports
OF the Red Cross agents had been
made, $500 for relief work had been
raised, the carpenters and masons OF
Ann Arbor had offered their services
for three days, committee or ex'
perts had been formed and, divided
into four groups, assigned to four dis
tricts to relieve, and financial com

day evening, when rain began to fall
over the devastated district, the Red
Cross workers rested content in the
knowledge that every victim of the
tornado slept that night with a roof
over his head and with a good start
toward the rehabilitation OF himself
and his family.
