Governor Will Call For Troops to Help Stop
 the Famine

Sledge, Miss, Jan 24--(UP)- Governor Sennett Conner was ex- pected to order national guardsmen into the flooded area of north Mis- sissippi today where 5000 persons were n1arooned and facing famine.
 J. W. Hopkins, Coahofnn county legislator. appealed to Governor Conner by telephone early today for troops.
 Fighting has started among the refugees for food" Hopkins said. "and troops are necessary to pre- vent real serious trouble"
 Unofficial death toll reached 15 last night when q mother and babe were found frozen to death in a cottonshed near here, and the bod ies of six negroes were recovered from the flood waters at Grenshaw.
 Red Cross officials, however, cs- timated many moro deaths in the outlying districts. Many small towns in the area are entirely iso- lated and communication lines are down.
 Refugees who poured into relief quarters at Pritchard, Clayton, Dundee, Sarah, Savage and other towns presented a pitifu1 picture. Many children were barefoot. All were poorly clad. The temperature over the area ranged from 10 12 degrees and the intense cold added to the suffering of the thousa nds.
 At Marks and Darling. down river, men worked all night build ing up the levee. These towns arc directly in the path of the flood, and 1t was feared the levees would go out today.
 Governor Conner was expected to order the prisoners out today to aid in the 1evee fight.
 An area estimated at about 65 miles long and 20 miles wide was already inundated. Flood waters were reported spreading rapidly.
 A serious food shortage threat ened. Sickness was prevalent and Red Cross workers believed an epi- donnie would follow unless medical supplies wore rushed into the stricken territory at once.
 Eighteen motorboats, rushed to Sledge late yesterday, brought Tn suffering persons from outlying sections. Some of the refugees had ciung to rooftops of their homes for more than 4S hours in the bit. ter cold.
 Thousands of head of cattle had been drowned. The bodies piled high among debris and driftwood in tho backwash of the flood waters.
 In Sledge, water stood IT feet deep. Refugees were tearing up furniture and rooftops to feed fires. Only enough food to last un- til nightfall was on hand, Mayor H. c. Prysock reported

Group Seeks Tennis
 Courts Next To "Y''
Opening Meeting to Discuss Possibilities of Erecting
 Layout to Be Held at Brooklyn Hut Monday
BROOKLYN NEWS

Plans for the installation of ten- his courts on the Brooklyn Y prop erty adjoining the Y hut will be formulated at general meeting of sectional residents Monday eve- ming at the hut, 1t was announced this morning by Henry DelPo, or- ganizer of the movement and pres- ident of the Y Interclub Council.
 Mel Kelly, secretary, will preside tt this session. DelPO believes the land will make an ideal spot for tennis courts for lovers in this sec ton. The land has been idle now for several years and installing courts would add to the scenic beauty of the property, beielves DelPo who has already received the financial support of many Brooklyn residents for this project.
 He believes finances will be the greatest handicap in completing plans for this venture and to date he has secured bids on the cost of the work which he aserts will not be over $100, half of which has al- ready been promised by merchants of this district. A drainage system has already been laid on the prop erty and the land graded. The nec- essary clay, netting ond other min or incidentals will he the only cost then. All Brooklyn residents inter ested fin this movement. will be fel- come at Mondays meeting.
 Cast To Meet
 All members of the cast who took part in the recent Itam Club minstrel are asked to be present at the club rooms on Greenmount Terrace Tuesday evening. Business of importance will be discussed.

WINTER CLOTHING
 IMPORTANT ITEM
Health Dept. Also Stresses Diet For CfiId's
 Welfare

New England weather Is 60 changehble that clothing which is comfortable today may be burden. some or quite insufficient tomor- row, 90 it must bo varied ifi ace cordafice with conditions, Dr A. Elizabeth 1hgrahAnI, director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of tho State Department of Health, dee clafed today in discussing the problem of keeping the child well in the winter time in the depart rnent'g weekly broadcast.
 4 child who lives in q home which is evenly heated and who attends a properly heated school, does not need heavy underwear if he has sufficient heavy clothing to wear out of doors to keep him warm. Dr Tngraham said. A child who lives in a home where the heat is iinequaliy distributed or where some rooms or the halls arc cold, however. is better off when wearing heavy underwear to in- sulate his body against abrupt changes in temperature. Stuffy, urventilated homes where the air is dry are conducive to colds, so the home should be well aired each day.
 The winter diet requires more energy giving foods than is custom ary in the summer, pr lngraham advised. Cereals and breads are very valuable in the winter: and milk, butter and eggs furnish q large amount of nourishment. Vi- tamins must be furnished through salads and raw and cooked veget- ables. If the child carries z his lunch to school, 1t should be made substantial as well as attractive and should include something hat such as cocoa or soup. When tho children return from school, some. thing warm to eat or drink should be ready for them.
