girl child, pinned under a beam, died
with both hands in those Of an army
officer who was directing her release.
One man, pinned beside his dead wife,

needle and survived the long night to q
safe removal.

Cross organization, whose local chap.
ters forced their way TO the theatre
site across a city whose normal trans
portation lines had been paralyacd In
the snow, and set up canteens for the
workers. hospital facilities for the
wounded, and ambulances for the dead
and injured who had TO reach operat-
ing centerS. Scores OF surgeons and
