INDIANA NEEDS
FLOOD RELIEF
Senator Cooper Says Posey
and Gibson Counties Hit.

ANY Federal program of Mis-
sissippi flood control should extend
to the Ohio and Wabash Rivers and
thus save thousands of dollars in
property damage in Indiana"
This was the opinion expressed by
State Senator Bruce E. Cooper,
Stewartsville, on a visit to the State
house Friday.
Conditions in Posey and Gibson
Counties are deplorable as result
of the floods" Cooper declared. ION
a recent tour of the district about
Evansville I saw whole farms that
will be forced to lie fallow.
I'm many instances where crops
were planted the worms that are
the aftermath of the flood have up
rooted the fields. I know one farmer
that has had $50 acres of corn
sprouts entirely wiped out"
The Senator's 6-year-old son, Ed
mund Bruce, Jr., received final Pas
teur treatment at the State health
board clinic today. He was bitten by
a mad dog about ten days ago and
badly lacerated about the face and
arSrn.
