marv's living room. Our conversa-
ton was interrupted by an explo-
sion, which came in family through
the open window. Rosemary cooked
her head to one side and said IN
hushed tones: Listen! Did that
sound like a cannon to you chill
dren?"
We looked at each other in wide
eyed fright. A cannon! My good
ness, the war was 5000 miles away
but nevertheless-Little Janet Allen
began to cry. Rosemary, realizing
she had been a bit carried away
with herself, hastened to comfort
us all by explaining that some men
were dynamiting down on the HlXon
place. and that was what the explo-
sion was.
Time went on and Rosemary mar
ried Harry Richardson and went to
live on Pleasant street. Several
years later her sister Ethel married
Rodney Kelsey, and the Kelseys oc-
cupied the house next to the Rich
ardsons.
Rosemary and Harry weren't
blessed with children. but Rod and
Ethel had boy the first year OF
their union. They named him Jim
mie. Jimmie, when he got old
enough, took a great shine to his
Aunt Rosemary, the way we kids had
done; and Rosemary, regretting the
fact that she had no children OF
her own, fairly dotted on little Jim
mie.
More time passed. Jimmie reached
school age and the Kelseys had an
other baby. That was the summer
of 1898. There were floods that year
and days of fierce heat and days OF
high winds One day in September
shortly after school had started, the
wind blew furiously all morning and
continued to blow In the afternoon.
Around 4 o'clock it began to reach
gale proportions and soon after
ward a blast that struck the town
knocked over pine trees as though
they were match sticks.
No living person in Bradford had
ever known such a blow, and none
knew what velocity the gale was go
ing to reach. In less than five min
utes all electrical and communica-
ton service was disrupted. Houses
r were blown over, trees uprooted, lake
and ocean front communities inun-
dated. It was unheard of and un-
precedented.
Edith Kelsey was experiencing a
Mortified fear. Little Jimmie hadn't
come home from school. She knew
he had been dismissed at $3.50. Her
mind pictured hin lettering along
some tree-shaded street, being
crushed to death by trees as they
plunged to the ground.
Frantic, she ran out of the house

looting, disorder and fear Japanese
military police today had succeeded
in restoring a measure Of peace and

The American School and residences

them.

Great street, the chief thorough
fare, hardly has shop that has not
been smashed open and looted. Japa-
nese were seen carrying off property
in motor trucks and on horses or
donkeys. Chinese coolies were i'm
pressed to help.
(Col. Masutara Nakai Of the
Japanese Army, who returned to
Shanghai from Hangchow today,
said the japanese forces were pay
ing for everything they requisi-
toned from Chinese in Hang
chow)
There were no wholesale executions
here such as marked the Japanese
capture Of Marking. A few looters
were shot. Language difficulties ap-
parently figured in few such cases.
japanese authorities posted special
military police after there had been
reports that japanese had molested
Chinese woman refugees in foreign
sponsored refugee camps. This helped
the situation.

there were several threatening Incl
