Heavy Storm Sweeps This
Section

The northeast storm that swept
this section on Sunday night and
Monday, brought with 1t an unusual
ly heavy precipitation of rain, and a
raging gale. But in this immediate
section we seem to be greatly fav-
ored people, as very little serious
damage resulted from the storm,
while in the lowlands of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and West
Virginia disastrous food conditions
prevailed.
Bridges were washed out, roads
damaged and families forced to va
cate homes.
Schools in many sections were
closed and business in some towns
practically suspended. Cumberland
was one of the Maryland cities to suf-
fer from the food. Pittsburgh,
Johnstown, Wheeling and other plac-
es experienced further loss by flood,
while struggling to recover from the
flood of few weeks ago.
