TORNADO
STRIKES AT
OLD DOCK

" Striking with startling sudden.
ness and terrific force, the first
tornado in recent years swept
through the Old Dock section
of Columbus county at $50
Monday morning, injuring sever
al and doing an estimated $780,
900 worth of damage.
Seriously in. the freak storm
was Burris FormyDuval who suf-
fered a broken arm and possible
internal injuries. At noon today
he still had not fully regained
consciousness although he was
talking some. Hospital authori-
ties seemed to think that he was
still in serious condition, accord
ing to county Red Cross officials.
He was blown 3O5 feet by the
storm.
The tWister Unanswered over
an area at least a half-mile wide
and left Wreckage for distance
of two miles.
Leo L. Fisher, disaster chair
man for the Columbus County
Chapter of the American Red
Cross, and Chairman VIM. S. Ed
munds of the county chapter
were on the scene early Monday
and estimated the damage at
fifty to one hundred thousand
dollars.
Identified as suffering losses
were the farm property of A. B.
FormyDuval, Burris FormyDu-
val, M. R. Etheridge, w. c. Gore,
Fay FormyDuvall, Trail Fowler,
L. M. Marlowe, Crowell Powell,
Jim Duncan. Jerry Little, and
Hamp Powell.
The twister appeared to have
hit first at the home of Fay
FormyDuval where it swept a.
way all of the house except the
floor. Other buildings were also
ripped apart.
The most complete destruction
was obvious at the place of Bur
ris FormyDuval..
The twister hit FormyDuvaPs
home and demolished it
Audrey FormyDuval, 13-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Formy-
Duvall, said he heard the wind
and thouht he would get up and
close the window.
"The next thing knew, was
over here" the lad said as he
pointed to a spot $50 feet from
his former home. II thought l
had fallen out of the bed"
When he came to, he said he

DRAINAGE
PROJECT
PROGRESSING

Only tentative agreements
have been reached to date but
there was reason to believe this
week that the proposed drainage
project on the Tabor City school
grounds would be carried
through successfully.
Planned as a three way pro-
iect with the county, state and
town bearing the cost, there was
some assurance from state ottl-
Gals this week that they would
cooperate. The town has been
seeking means of procuring the
needed finances for it's share OF
the expense, and it believed that
the county officials would do
their part.
The entire project is scheduled
TO cost something like S11 900
but would for the first time IN
history have the local school
grounds clear of standing water
during rainy seasons. The project
if completed, would drain the
local grounds in a highly salts
factory manner.
w. A. Williams and w. w.
Woodv have contacted state
highway authorities regarding
the project. Principal c. H. Pin
ner has been one of the leadlng
citizens in the movement, having
first presented it to the Rotary
club a few weeks age.
Also taking a big part in the
project has been the Parent
Teachers Association, along with
the other town civic clubs.

Local Soldiers
Meet In Tokyo

Sgt. Edward Anderson of the
First Calvary, and Sgt. Don

ROTARY CLUB
HEARS RAPER
TALK COWS

Charles D. Raper, county
agent, pointed out at the weekly
meeting of the local Rotary Club
that it was his belief that live
stock is the key to the future
of Columbus county.
Mr.. Raper said that the num-
Der of persons now in the dairy
or beef cattle business in Column
bus county has quadrupled in
the last few years, and that he
is expecting many others to get
into the livestock business soon.
He pointed out how some live
stock farmers in the county have
said that they had rather have
one good cow with proper pas
ture than to have one acre of
tobacco. That is, they, although
still raising tobacco, feel that
that they get more actual profit
from one good cow per year
than they do from one acre of
tobacco.
1.-The good thing about live
stock is that it does not limit
your income to just once a year.
There's a steady income from
livestock and that in this mod
ern day of installment buying
is good for the farmers of the
county. And what's good for the
farmers is good for everyone"
Mr.. Raper said.
Prior to his discussion of the
livestock program, Mr.. Raper
gave a short report on the tor
nado at Old Dock. Raper, a lead
err in the Red Cross in Columbus
county, had visited the disaster
area Monday morning and was
able to give a good account of
the destruction.

Freak Accident
Occurs Here

There would be those that
would say a report of a motor
cycle running through a store
window by itself and with no
driver in sight would be slightly
"teched in the head" But just
such was the case here Monday
morning when a motorcycle with
a side car used as a delivery
wagon crashed through the win.
dow of the w. F. Cox Company
hardware department.
The motorcycle had been left
parked on the street with its
motor running. Vibration or
something jolted it into gear and
it took off down the street un-
attended. The machine crashed
into the window, smashing it. A
colored man who attempted to
stop the runaway was unsuccess-
full and slightly bruised in the
melee.

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
RABBITS DAUGHTER

seems necessary to report the
rare news that a recent column
Of mine has had only bouquets
and not a brick in the lot. Yes.
on one matter. at least. Jews are
in agreement and that is some
thing worth reporting before
start the story Of the rabbits
daughter. That well-approved
column is closely related to some
thing that came out of the mar
rage Of the rabbits daughter.
Yes, the readers seem to be
unanimous on the idea that it's
none of the business of Judaism
to TO hunting for converts to
bring them over to our side. Some
of the rabbis had suggested that
maybe it's about time for Juda-
ism to start proselytizing, to send
rabbinical missionaries into the
world to tell Gentiles what a
good religion we have, and won't
they please join us.
For my part. said in this col
unn recently. / would settle for
the idea of Christians trying just
to be good Christians. Why both
er to bring righteous Christians
over to Judaism? A real Chris
tan can't be an anti-Semite. Nor
does he despise other people on
account of their color. He be-
HAYES like an authentic member
of the brotherhood of man. He.
as a good Christian couldn't be-
have any better if he were a
good Jew instead of Christian.
Why. then. go to all the expense
and trouble Of trying to make a
Jew out Of him?
Besides, l said, a b bis have
enough to do to keep Jews Jewish
in the sense of Sinai and the
Prophets. To convert all the Jews
in his town to an understanding
of Judaism is lifetime job for
any rabbi. Why load his hands
also with Gentiles?
Well. this. you might say. is
the second chapter Of my column
on that subject. It is suggested
to me by a lady of my acquain-
lance who reports the story OF
the rabbits daughter. particular
lY for the purpose of showing
what a wise man the rabbi was.
He was a kinsman of hers.
Believe it or not, the rabbits
daughter went and married
Gentle and the matter was on all
tongues in their town. This oc-
Cured more than so years ago
and the principals are long dead:
the rabbi, his daughter and her
Gentle husband-all gone to the
reward which, as l have liked to
guess, does not in the least con-
slider the religious labels OF its
beneficiaries.
Yes. indeed the intermarriage
of the rabbits daughter and the
nom Jew was a tremendous SEN
sation in their town among Gen.
tiles as well as Jews. It was long
before the time when intermar-
rage was to become a common
place of the days news. Pracu-
callY every Jewish boy married
strictly within the fold and all
Christian girls married Metho-
dists. presbYterians. Baptists' ETC.
and carefully brought up their
children that way.
