Typhoid Peril Stays
As Louisiana River
Begins Subsiding
By the Assoe;o,ed Press

LAKE CHARLES, La, May %.
The Calcasieu River brought
a typhoid threat and began re-
treating today from this food
beaten city while engineers
abandoned dynamiting U. S.
Highway 80 at nearby Orange,
Tex.
THE worst is over and the
whole flood level is subsiding
here very slowly" Weatherman
Paul Cook said.
The first flood casualty here
was discovered when medic
padding rubber boat through
the inundated Lake Charles Air
Force Base found the floating
body of a young airman. Else
where in Louisiana, flood wa
ters had claimed eight other
drowning victims in one week.
Victim Identified.
Officers at the partly aban-
doned base two miles east of
the city said the victim was Air
man Third Class Billie j. Binion,
18, of Summerville. Ga. The
coroner said he had been dead
36 hours.
Medical officers here kept urg-
ing typhoid shots in the wake
of the muddy-water invasion
and lines were forming for vac
cinations.
Sheriff H. A. Reid, jr., said
the area ran out of typhoid
serum, but supplies were being
flown in from New Orleans and
Shreveport.
For a while, dynamiting of
Highway 80 was considered to
help relieve Orange from dam
gers of the flooding Sabine River,
35 miles to the west.
"As things stand right now"
George S. Covert, Louisiana
highway director said, "it won't
be necessary to do anything to
the road unless the water sud-
denly begins to rise again. How
ever, we're keeping nm anxious
eye on it and are prepared to
take necessary steps in case the
situation worSens."
ROadbed Becomes Dam.
The built-up roadbed across
the IS miles of marshland be-
tween Lake Charles and Orange
became a dam against drainage
of mounting backwaters from
the Sabine River.
Mile of Road Under Water.
About one mile of the highway
was under seven inches of water
at midday today, but the
flooded section was six miles
east of Orange in a sparsely pop
ulated area.
Orange also appeared to be
winning its flood battle and help
ing Orange would be the only
reason for dynamiting.
The floods standing up to win
dow level height over a third of
Lake Charles were built up from
backWaters of the Calcasieu
River. The highway created no
dam against that water.
Base Is Abandoned.
The flood waters swamped the
Lake Charles Air Force Base,
forcing its abandonment; chased
$4,000 persons from their homes
and damaged $40 million worth
of property.

Movie On Paul
Sun. Night At
First Presby.

Sunday evening at 1880 the First
Presbyterian Church at White and
Washington Streets, will feature a
movie showing the third mission
airy journey of st. Paul. Christiani-
| ty was pretty well known through
out the then civilized world and on
this journey Paul found consider
able trouble with the churches he
had originally founded. Many of
the so-caIled Christians from Jer-
usalem set out to oppose him
creating division and confusion in
all the churches. This strife and
opposition only added to the faith
and determination Of practicing
Christians to carry on their pro-
gram of evangelizing the world.
This experience of the early
church and since seems to have
strengthened the work and is am
pie proof that the very gates of
he'll cannot prevail against the
church Of the living God.
On Sunday morning at II o'clock
the Rev. Mr.. Rogers viii use as his
subject, .'What Christianity
Means" To some 1t means merely
having their name On the church
roll, to others it means social pres
tige while to still others it means
the thrill of conflict and victory in
the service of the King. While we
all cannot devote our entire time
to professional service as preach
ers, teachers, missionaries, we
can enlist in the worthy service of
evangelization by giving of our
time, talent and funds with our
prayer that His Kingdom might
speedily come. That's what Chris
tianity means.
Under the direction of Miss
Martha Morris, the choir will sing
Sunday morning "The Heavens
are Declaring" by Beethoven.

There seems to be two human
traits which Jesus disapproved--
that of arrogant pride on the one

observance Of the Enan-made laws
without compassion or mercy. Such
an attitude naturally carries with

through Perea and Judea toward
Jerusalem TO attend the Feast Of
the Passover, he had opportunity
10 impress upon bis disciples the

Jew expected favors In Paradise

The two Of these disciples even
asked that they might sit one on
the right side and the other on the
LEFT side Of Jesus when he should
come into his kingdom. In fact the
Jewish thought Of the day was that
there were seven heavens. the
