Recovering from Storm Wreckaqe
The unofficial estimate of the
damage caused by Sunday eve
ning's tornado, was set at a mil
lion dollars. Reports latest re-
ceived, were that approximately
80 barns and about so houses were
destroyed or damaged. Orchards
were totally destroyed, and the
maple groves of the Clifford
Beltz, Wilbur Reams, and the
John Haines farms about 3 miles
north of North Lewisburg, appear
like a war torn and bombed
battle field. Trees are uprooted,
split and snapped off like mere
matches. All of the trees are over
100 years old. The people of the
stormtorn countryside are slow
ly regaining themselves as they
go about the gigantic cleanup
| job. The buildings hardest hit
lay the vicinity of Mingo, Ken
4 nard, -Kingscreek. More than
800 volunteers were helping Tues
day to clean the fields which
were strewn with boards, roof
ing, slivers, splinters and glass.
"Wednesday all boys of the Champ
aign county rural high schools,
were dismissed to help in the
giant cleanup. This cleanup
must be done before the farm
stock can be turned to pasture,
and before the fields are planted
and harvested, to avoid breakage
of machinery.

teacher, who has been a patient
of Veterans hospital, Dayton, for

ly improved.
