quate Accommodations for all exhi-
bits. Also the rush for concession
booths along the midway has started,

automobile display tent, almost

cate that the Fair will be larger

have double features-"When Hus-
bands Flirt," with Dorothy ReVier

be a chip off the old block" for
he embodies all the appeal of his
famous father, Douglas Fairbanks.

HELP FOR FLOR
IDA SUFFERERS
Red Cross Asks Contributions For
Striker State
$4,000 HOMELESS

Lambertville-The local Red Cross
is responding to the call for aid
from the hurricane -striken state of
Florida since the terrific storms
which swept the central section of
the state from the Atlantic to the
Gulf last Friday night and Sat-
urday. Final reports show that over
400 lives were lost, 5000 were in
iured, over $50 were missing and
$4,000 were homeless around the
sections of Miami, Biscayne Bay,
Hollywood, Clewistown, Moorehaven,
Fort Lauderdale, Hialeah and Pensa-
cola.
The storm just missed Tampa,
passing to the south of that city
on the Gulf side, but it continued
into southern Alabama and Mis-
sissippi. But its violence had already
been spent in Florida where proper
ty destruction is variously estimated
around $500,000000. Thousands of
homes were smashed into kindling
wood, forests were ripped up by the
roots, boats along the Atlantic coast
were driven inland upon the shore
and left wrecked, and even buildings
of concrete and brick construction
were razed.
The National Red Cross imme-
diately answered pleas for aid, and
by Monday dressing stations and
emergency relief posts were already
established. On Monday over 5000
cases of injury were treated by
Red Cross nurses and doctors at
Miami, and in Ft. Lauderdale Red
Cross officials report that 1000
persons are dependent upon them.
Calls have been sent out by the
National Red Cross to all local
units to secure contributions to aid
the work of rescue and provide tenn
porary shelter and food for the
homeless.
People of Lambertville and vici-
nifty are asked to send contributions
to Mrs. Helen r. Young, 81 Clinton
street. Checks should be made out
to C. Lloyd Fell, Red Cross County
Treasurer. The local organization
promptly began solicitations, and it
is hoped that this section will not
be behind the rest of the country
in responding to so worthy a cause.
The regular annual Roll Call will
not be held until Armstice Day
week, and contributions made now
