HUNDREDS LEAVE
HOMES AS RIVER
BREAKS BANKS
Thousands OF Acres OF Land Are
Reported Under Water AS Ice
And Snow Begins Melting

Floods and ice gorges drove hum
dreds of persons from their homes
in the west and midwest this week.
Low landers in the menaced regions
of Indiana, Kentucky, and Idaho
were forced to abandon their resi-
dences as swollen streams inundat-
ed thousands of acres. Four Cali
fornians drowned as flood waters
spilled over great stretches of land.
Red Cross workers reported they
had induced most of the $500 fami-
lies. in Ohio river communities men
aced by a 1OO-mile field of ice to
leave their property. The warning
to expect the worse"was broadcast
through low territory from New
burgh, Ind, to Uniontown, KY.
Ohio River OverflOws
Thawed by a sharp rise in tenn
peratures, ice jams along the Ohio
broke loose, hurting thousands OF
tons of water and foes against the
huge gorge at Uniontown.T The gorge
held fast. The river upstream rose
to flood stage or beyond, spilling
over its banks and covering sur
rounding bottom lands.
Big blocks of ice were swept
down stream from Henderson, KY,
and Evansville, Ind, after several
minor breaks. McLin Colon,
weather bureau chief at Evansville,
said a general break seemed imml-
nent. He added:
In the event of bad break
homes lying in the path of the ice
will be crushed with the force that
has already snapped off trees II
inches in diameter"
After "a hours of intense activity
Red Cross workers had evacuated
all but few isolated families in the
path of the gorge. Arrangements to
shelter the refugees were COM
pleted.
Danger Grow In Middlewest
Homes and cultivated areas near
Nampa, Idaho, were abandoned
when Indian creek left its banks for
the first time in 10 years. Water
from Bear creek poured into Mer-
ced, Calf. For the first time in
eight years, engineers at Sacrament
to, Calf, opened all 48 flood gates
to divert the Sacramento river
overflow into Yolo bypass.
Flood dangers increased in the
middlewest as a sudden thaw set in.
In much of the territory drained
by the Ohio, Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers and their tributaries,
the mercury rose above the freez-
ing level. Thaws ensued. The win
ter's record SHOWS melted under
temperatures ranging up to more
than so degrees above zero.

TWO HOOP GAMES
Plentywood %; RedstOne 3

In a preliminary game last Satur-
day night the Plentywood Reserves
took the measure of the Redstone bas-
keteers in a contest marked by much
wild shooting on the part Of both
teams. The Wildcats scored first and
were never headed, the score at quar-
ters being 40, 80, 1872. 22-9. Eight
men saw action for the Wildcats and
ance. Nervousness and inexperience
under fire caused the missing Of many
baskets by both squads.
This is Redstone's first SEASON OF

all times.
This was Bainville's third game of
the week and a fresh brentwood team
gave them no rest AS reserves caraLly
replaced the veterans at intervals to
keep the Wildcats al TOP speed. Wild
attempts at the basket lost scoring OPP
portunities for the locals when a more
conservative attack would have netted
points. However, the plav of the team
as a whole was cuch imnroved oven
previous games ana with a few more
weeks of practice the Wildcats viii
make tough going for opnonents.
This was Plentywood's SIKH straight
victory. All eight men used entered the
scoring column. Kielstrup broke up a
closely-knit zone defense when he
started tossing the ball in from mid
floor with deadly accuracy. From then
on his teammates penetrated for easy
shots.
Simard at center was outstanding
for Bainville. The Bainville team dis
played some of the finest passing seen
the local floor this season but the
Wildcats height was too much for
them. Those who played for Plenty
wood were Parker. Christensen, Di-
onne, Fiske, Kjelstrup, Stenehjem, Os-

Music and Dramatics
Prominent at School

The students of Plentvwood high
school have been privileged this fall to
enjoy three numbers of the series of
six Northwest Assemblies programs to
be held under school sponsorship
throughout the year.
The first number was Bob Hanscom
and his company presenting the play,
New Brooms." This was followed by
The International Four, a male quar-
tette which presented an entertaining
program.
The last of the series on the fall
schedule was Merton Overing, a clever
fabric painter whose hands were equal
~ skillful in the field of magic.
Entertainments of this calibre should
give our high school students a greater
zest for dramatics, music and art.
The English department has planned
an active year in the field of the speech
arts. The public speaking class has a
heavy enrolment, so a year of fine
achievement is anticipated. Training
in speech is a big factor in personal
advancement. Moreover, all forms of
platform work develop leadership in
students and the ability to speak and
think on their feet.
The past two years the speech de-
partner. has aimed to raise the dra-
matte standards of the high school in
the selection of plays for the major
productions. 1t may be of interest to
the community to know that New
Fires the play presented by the SEN
iors of 1886, has been awarded nation
al recognition as the outstanding play
for high schools in the nationwide
survey of 1886 productions.
The music department has been en-
by the organization of the
mixed chorus and the triple trio. Elk
tensive plans are under way for the
work. AT present these two or
CARNATIONS assisted by the public
speaking class are preparing a Christ
mas program for the community.
Immediately following the Christ
mas season work will be started on the
operetta, the major production of the
year, so there is much in store for the
Plentywood community on the music
and dramatics calendar OF Plentywooo
high.
