WATERBURY,. VT, November H.
Water, which like fire is "a good
servant but bad master, was doci,eiy
at work today for the very people it
ruined last week in its rain-driven
rush from the mountains. :.
In this and other villages of the
Winooski Valley. the heart of the
Vermont flood district, the water
systems were at last repaired, largely
removing the threat of typhoid. Water,
drawn from the streams that ravaged
the villages. was being used to remove
traces of the damage.
Homes Are Scrubbed.
Homes, shoveled out during the
week. were being scrubbed with mop
and brush. Streets where last week
torrents ran Is feet deep were being
flushed from standpipes, and cloth
ing, cakedt with river mud during the
inundation. was washed and hung to
dry.
In front of many farm homes,
household goods still crowded the
porches and lined the road but they
were gradually being cleaned and
dried and moved back to their ac-
CuStOmed POSITIONS.
There was heat in most of the
houses and cooking was being ac-
compiished somehow, though this was
hampered by peculiar action OF the
farmers at the time of the flood. For
some reason, possibly because they
are costly articles the Kitchen stove
