STROUDSBURG, Pa, Aug.
% R.-A threat of typhoid
fever and more rain hung over
the flood-ravaged areas of
Northeastern Pennsylvania To-
day.
The death toll from the rain
storms of last Thursday and
Friday stands unofficially at SO,
but officials said they have no
doubt the final figure would be
well over 100.
Thousands Of cubic centime-
ters of antityphoid fever serum
were flown into the area yes
terday. BY nightfau about 5000
persons in this Pocono mountain
resort town alone were inocu-
lated.
Water Supplies Polluted
The typhoid peril stems from
contaminated water supplies, a
hazard accompanying flood de-
astation. In Bucks County. ssuth
of Stroudsburg, polluted water
was blamed for an outbreak of
dysentery. So far. there have
been no reported cases of ty-
phoid.
Weary rescue workers, still
finding bodies half buried in the
silt as flood waters recede, kept
their eyes on cloudy skies over
head and hoped there would
be no more. rain.
Food still is being dispensed
free in churches and movie
theaters. Businesses remained
closed. Some were totally wipec
out by the flood waters.
The cleanup continue
throughout the rest Of Eastern
Pennsylvania, but nowhere wa.
