HURRICANE MAY
 STRIKE FLORIDA
Continued from Page 1o

NOOl1tlxkuCA where 1000 persons were drowned in the 1928 hurricane.
 Northwest storm warnings were hoisted along the 100 miles stretch of the Florida Keys south of Miami and up the west coast as far as Ft. Myers.
 At Miami, the barometer was fall ing rapidly. At West Palm Beach 1t was rising slightly, perhaps indicat- ing the storm might be drawn south of the Palm Beach area by low pressure conditions. .
 In the Lake Okeechobee region, all schools in all of the communities along the lakes south border were closed and children sent home. An airplane took of from Clewiston to warn 10 white residents and 10O negroes on truck farms of Ritter Is- land of the approaching storm.
 Many Persons Leave Many persons hurriedly left the Lake Okeechobee region by auto mobile. Citrus fruit packing com- panies ceased worK after putting all produce in railroad cars for safety. Floridans were taken by surprise. When they retired last night the storm was taking course well of the coast. This morning came the warnings of its change. All along the threatened coast and the inland lake area feverish preparations were made to protect life and property.
 Largest cities in the region are Miami, Miami Beach, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauder dale.
 Evacuation Train Officials considered ordering an evacuation train to remove all rosie dents of the Okeechobee region who wished to leave.
 At Ft. Lauderdale. and in Dade county, where Miami and Miami Beach are located, all schools were closed. The Dade county school buildings were offered to the Red Cross for use in case of relief need, and were opened to all persons wishing to take shelter in them. The sea was rough with a heavy swell at Ft. Lauderdale. Rain squalls were frequent there, as over much of the threatened area.
 Evacuate Keys
 The Florida Keys, which were struck by disastrous hurricane Sept. 2, were ordered evaucated by WPA authorities.
 Miami began "boarding up.'" AL though spared twice this season by tropical storms, presidents and bus mess men took no chances on this third scare. There was touch of hysteria evident among newly-ar- rived winter visitors. Most of who ad never experienced a hurricane. Most storms of this nature occur during the late summer and early fall months.

1t was 10 a, m. His secretary,
having noticed detachedly the
usual tardy arrival of her en-
ployer, placed the mornings per-
sonal mail ON the desk in his
private office. Turning from the
hat tree after struggling himself
out Of his coat, Robert Rankin
settled himself in the comfortable
chair and began methodically to
rifle the handful of assorted en-
velopes.
They were the usual variety Of
acknowledgements from business
houses, invitations to business
luncheons, a notice of a fraternal
meeting. His hand paused in the
act of sliding the envelop opener
under the flap of a small envelope
as he noticed an engraved return
address on the back.
Turning it over, he inspected the
superscription curiously. 1t was
written in delicately feminine
hand, vaguely familiar.
A bit eagerly he opened the let
ter and withdrew the message.
It was inscribed to Dear Bob" and
his eyes skipped ahead to the sig
nature, signed with the same soft
ly determined script Lilly" That

seen her since before he had been
married.
g. and I CHANGED to see your

naturally 1 would like to see you
again while I am in town. Will you
call me?" His heart gave a few
unaccustomed flutters as he read
the invitation. He remembered the
Lilly he had known so well ten
years ago, the unconventional,
"arty" girl whom he had almost
married.
He placed the letter on a corner
of his desk, near the picture of
his wife and their 6-year-old son.
Several times in the next hour his
mind was drawn to reminiscing
by the sight of it. Finally, he
thought, well. why not?" His
hand reached toward the cradle
phone.
At o'clock Rankin was stand
ing by the window of his office
looking out at the downtown pana-
rama. Running through his mind
was a medley of remembered Incl
dents which he was attempting to
marshal into some semblance of
order as potential small-talk with
Lilly.
In way he was sorry that he
had yielded to his sentiment and
had made an engagement to visit
her on his way home from the Of

a certain element of novelty in the
prospect. Goodness knows, he had

But Lilly! OF course she would
not have so greatly changed in
ten years; persons like her didn't.
There were plenty of older women

parity in ages.

Riding up in the self-operated
elevator to the proper floor and
striding down the carpeted hall to
the number she had given him, he
experienced a sense of adventure.
He halted before the door of the
apartment and, lifting the small
brass knocker, raped smartly.
Almose instantly 1t opened. Thers
was a moments silence as they
rapidly surveyed each other and
then, stepping aside, Lilly said:
Come in, Bob!" He followed her
into a well-furnished living room
and she took his hat and coat.
While she was gone he glanced
curiously about the room.
Certainly the same Lilly--thel
familiar flair for decoration was
evident in the furnishings! When
she had returned he saw that es-s
sentially she was unchanged in ap-s
pearance; there was something all
most theatrical about her looks
and actions. 1t made him con-
scious of his own alteration.
Their talk drifted to persons
they had known; then to the lat-
est shows and art exhibits and re-
citals in town. Bob found himself
beginning to feel uncomfortable.
He was in the position of a man
talking about something of which
he has no knowledge.
He answered evasive1y and. in
an effort to steer the conversation
into safer channels, asked her what
she had been doing since last he
had seen her. over the teacups
she talked at random of the many
places she had been, with such
cosmopolitan air that he felt slight
Nv ludicrous at the thought OF
mentioning his own modest ex-
ploits.
At last, fearing that he could
keep up the painful pretense no
longer, he rose and prepared to de-
part, protesting that he had en-
joyed so much having met Lilly

of relief at having escaped being

ed by the coming of a little girl.
She grew into sweet, loveabIe
child whose presence in the home
was a delight to the parents, and
whose radiant friendliness was a
JOY to all who knew her. For 13
years, four months and Is days,
Marie's presence among US made
our lives richer and happier. Then
on Feb. 5, 1885, after five months
of suffering, came the close of her
life's little day, Gods finger touch
ed her and she slept. Marie had
reached The seventh grade in
school. During her last ilIenss she
regretted that she could not take
her place with her companions and
go on with her school work. Her
place in tho school and in the
hearts of the pupils can never quite
be filled. Besides the father and
mother there are left bereaved one
sister, Marjorie James; six brothers,
curt, George, Dolpn, Kenneth,
Jimmie and Davis McInturf: two
nieces, Joyce James and Phyllis Jean
McInturf, and two nephews, Ronald
Lee James and Jackie McInturf. One
brother Neal, preceded her in
death. We are crushed by our loss.
But while our grief overwhelms us
we rejoice that she was allowed to
be with us for little while. The
memories she has left will be to us
forever precious and our lives will
be infinitely richer because Marie
was allowed to linger with US a lit
