AS the Mothers Congress
grew, it became clear to some
leaders that one Of the best
places to work for its aims was
in the schools. In 1908. the name
was changed to The National

1855 Hurricanes to Get
New Set of Girls Names

MIAMI, Fla, May 7 tP.-Who
will be Miss Hurricane of 1856
Brenda? Stella? Yvonne?
Regardless Of which tropical
storm cuts the widest swath. 1t
will have a brand-new name and
q new chief storm forecaster will
be calling the shots as it whirls
across the meteorological stage.
Alice, a rare out-of-season
creature and the first hurricane
Of 1855. came too early, and for
that reason she was given the
same name as the first Of 1854.
Those still to come will have
names selected by a committee
Of Navy, Air Force and Weather
Bureau officials to avoid con-
fusion with storms already on
record.
Not Ladylike
Hurricanes are totally unlady-
like creatures. and giving them
feminine names created some
thing of a disturbance itself last
year after Carol, Edna and Hazel
brought death to 279 persons
and property damage totaling
more than a billion dollars. All
three raked the Northeastern
States after whirling up from
the tropics.
This years Alice was far less
formidable. She popped up in
January to lash the Caribbean
islands of the Lesser Antilles
with rs m.p.h. winds.
The next hurricane will be
named Brenda. Her successors
will be called Connie, Diane,
Edith, Flora. Gladys, Hilda, Iona,
Janet, Katie, Linda, Martha,
Nelly, Orva, Peggy, Queena. Rosa.
Stella Trudy, Ursa, Verna,
Wilma, Xenia. Yvonne and
Zelda-if the season runs that
long. Last year the list stopped
with Hazel.
The normal hurricane season
runs from June Is to Novem-
Der Is.
Gordon Dunn, 49-year-old for
mer head of the Chicago
Weather Bureau, took charge of
the storm-warning service at
Miami April II as chief fore
caster. He succeeded Grady
Norton, who died last year when
Hurricane Hazel was on the
march.
Outlines Plans
Mr.. Dunn told those in his
warning district, I'VE intend as
a regular procedure to place
areas under a hurricane alert
when a storm threatens and is
So to 48 hours away. This prac-
tice was begun by Grady Norton
and we intend to follow it. An
alert is not a warning, but merely
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-05-08

tells the public to keep in touch
with future advisories
Actual hurricane warnings
whenever practical, will be given
IL to "a hours in advance. There
are instances when these storms
generate close to a coastline and
sweep across within IL hours
At other times they lag along
until caught in a Jet stream. then
quickly develop a swift forward
movement.
To Lower Probes
For the first time this year
hunter planes will probe hurri-
canes all the way down to about
300 feet and. as in the past, up
to $4,000 feet.
Mr.. Dunn hopes that 1t may
be possible some day to steer q
hurricane around a given city
This would be done by seeding
the storm with dry ice or silver
iodide.
There is a lot to be done,'
says the hurricane forecaster
THE death rate has been greatly
reduced from 165 deaths per 10
million dollars of property dam
age in 1880 to only 31a deaths
per 10 million.
But deaths remain too high
We've got to learn more about
the storm waves-most people
call them tidal waves-which
blow In with hurricanes. And
we've got to educate people to
the danger of windblown water,
The sad truth is that most storm
deaths are drownings."
