Fear New Era Of Tornadoes

ion there is no "tornado belt" Sta
tistics show that over half of the ex-
tremely destructive tornadoes have
occurred east of the Mississippi.
The tornado is born of currents of
air above the ground that differ in
direction and come in contact. A
condition of warm, moist air near the
ground overladen with cold air sets
up violent heat transfer and over
turning of the atmosphere. A great
whirl or vortex results. releasing the
pent-up energy of the air. Not al

These aggregate more than 10000

The only solutions that remain open

 MT. Ward said he knew cham Der of commerce secretary who once said 1t was his job to keep indus tries out of town. Another cham Der official said he knew of no ret son why industries should locate in his town.
 He severely criticised what he termed was the poor psychology of speakers who paint pictures of New England losing it's industries. He issued a challenge 10 speakers who make these assertions by say- ing that while textile mills, whicn are used often by these "calamjtv speakers" do establish branches in the south to be nearer the source or raw material, that very small percentage Of these plants actually are moving 10 the south or west,
