 Garland Robbins, 60 of Provi- dence, described the twister. as "black as midnight and roaring like hell" His store was de- stroyed.
 Near Poplar Bluff, in south eastern Missouri, six persons were killed and 15 injured by a tornado which cut through ten miles of farm area. Telephone lines were knocked down and some streets flooded in Poplar Bluff by a heavy rain which followed the twister.

The audience responded in loud and continuous applause.
 The program then got underway by the master of ceremonies Jack Estes introducing Charles O'Leary, President of Igloo No. l, who in brief, but most appropriate lan- guage, welcomed the assembled guests.
 When the curtain was raised for the first act, there appeared eight of Nome's charming school girls who sang a most appropriate or iginal number entitled Pioneers of Nome," each girl playing a gui- tar in accompaniment. This was composed by Mary Roell and Jane Scott, both of Nome, and fitted the occasion to perfection.
 The Barber Shop Quartet-Ted Duffield, Raymond Tveter, Dick Small and Dan Jones participating. brought down the house for or iginality. having the barber's chair and all the accoutrements on the stage, blending with the two reditionS.
 His Masters Voice - Corporal Monahan, impersonating Al Jol- son, rendering two numbers, did himself proud in being more Jol- son than Jolson. It was really a masterpiece of impersonation and was well received.
