Tornado Struck Virginia Towns Push Cleanup
Of Woshed-Out Roads, Downed Phone Lines
CHARLOTTESVILLE, "

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Oct. 2 (SpeciaD. - Cleanup
work was pushed today in Vir-
ginia communities hit by a
series Of surprise tornadoes
that left II dead, reduced
homes and barns to match
wood and made State roads
impossible.
Highway officials said more
than 20 secondary roads were
blocked by washouts and
bridges damaged by torrential
downpours as Hurricane Oracle
moved northward.
While the most tragic con-
sequences were at Ivy, near
Charlottesville, where 10 per-
sons in one family were wiped
out, five other tornadoeS Of
lesser force were believed to
have ripped through Albemarle,
Fluvanna, Greene, Orange and
Madison Counties.
More than 5000 telephones
were knocked out in the storm
area, giving maintenance crews
a difficult task as they moved
along nearly impossible coun-
try roads.
Body Blown 200 Yards
The force of the wind was
probably best defined by the
location of the body Of Shirley
Ann Morris, 3, the 10th men,
ber of the Erving Morris family
lost in the storm. The child ap-
parently was the one a witness
saw swooped up into the sky"
when the storm struck Ivy
Wednesday. The body was
found under a tree some 200
yards from the demolished
home.
One of the harder blows hit
the Blue Ridge School at st.
George in Greene County.
Damage was done to most of
the buildings at the 50-year-old
boarding school, and the 40
students narrowly escaped in
jury or worse.
The tornado hit five minutes
before they were to have been
dismissed. Giant oaks and
other trees under which they
would have been playing were
torn to shreds.
- Damage to the school was
estimated upwards Of $3.50, 900.
Roofs Blown OFF
. The roof of an inflrmary was
blown off, as was half of a
dormitory roof. Holes were
punched into other buildings
and trees toppled onto some.
Some of the school shedI
were demolished, critically in
juring Robert Morris. a main
tenance man at the school,
working in one Of them.
The tornado activity, not un-
usual in connection with hur-
ricanes, nevertheless came
without warning. The accom-
panying rain was so heavy that
it was three hours before help
arrived at the stricken area.
The Weather Bureau in
Washington dispatched its chief
tornado forecaster, Van Thul-
lenar, from Kansas City, to-
gether with Harry Altman of
the Washington Office, to gather
data that may help guard
against similar storms.

not ask for help but you might do
like the group Of neighbors who
cooked a big dinner for a family
in their neighborhood and took it
to them hot and ready to eat.
The soldier son was coming
home from overseas duty. He had
not been home for two years. Just
before he came home his mother
had been in the hospital and was
still not able to do any work and
because the father had been out of
work the boy was coming home to
a very lean Thanksgiving.
So, one neighbor decided to con-

member of the family they would

Frequently, young people '
fields have the idea that the job
of sitting at a desk or behind a
typewriter is an easy one. But
when they go to apply for a job
they will find that the opposite
is true. Not only is good training
required but they must have a high
degree of accuracy and be willing
to assume responsibilities, and
have a good record of attendance
When employers interview cler-
ical job seekers, they have several
questions in mind. VIII this per-
son be an asset to my business in
the matter of production and in
public relations? How will they
get along with other employees?
What about getting to work on
time? Why did they leave their
last job? Sometimes an employer
is under pressure for help and will
take on a person who does not
rate very highly in his opinion but
this is a rare instance.
A case in point is that of an at
tractive young colored lady, skilled
in the operation of office mechan-
ical devices, who applied for posi-
ton in the office of a large Chi
cago industrial plant.
After answering routine ques-
tons the personnel director asked
the young applicant if she had spec
ial training in mechanical card
filing. She replied that she could
operate the new Kard-Veyer, which
is a mechanical device for auto
matte card filing. Given a test, she
was so proficient she was hired
Immediately, and has since become
a valued member of the big office
force.
Mary Brown, a high school grad
uate, was seeking an office job
and went to a prospective en-
ployer for an interview. She was
chewing gum and she wore no
stockings and her bare toes were
exposed. AS she walked up to the
interviewer's desk, she dragged
her feet.
When the employer asked her
about her skiIls, she said, II have
did some typin' and some film
but 1 didn't do no shorthand"
Naturally she did not get the job
because there were three strikes
against her-chewing gum, map
propriate dress and poor grammar
These are important factors in get
ting office work
Some young people have beer
hired for office work because theil
skills were adequate but wer,
discharged because of a poor at
tendance record or work perform
ance. Job seekers should be an
xious to succeed and apply tn
disciplines of their training as wei
as the regulations of the particula
EMPLOYER.
1t will be difficult to be hire
as a typist without a speed of 5
words per minute. A good stenog
rapher should be able to take 10
words per minute in shorthand o
speed writing. All good offic
workers keep a dictionary hand
and use it when in doubt abou
spelling words. This is very i'm
portant.
There are many opportunitie
today for qualified clerical worl
ers. According to the Insuranc
Secretaries Association, a secr'
tary must think like a man, wor
like a horse and act like a lady.

they saw the cheer they had taken
into that home.

ARE YOU TRULY THANKFUL?

ARE YOU TRULY THANhFULT
For all of the blessings you have
enjoyed this past year? Then try
to list them in your mind and you
will be surprised how many bless
ings you took for granted.
You are enjoying good health,
you can see, you can taste, you
can walk and oh so many things
you enjoy that are taken for grant
ed. Yet if you have one bit Of
trouble or worry you think you
have a hard lot in life.
If you would make a list of
your blessings and another list of
all the troubles you think you
have you will find, nine times out
of ten, the longest list will be the
one full of the blessings you have
not appreciated but have taken
for granted.
You have to appreciate all of
your blessings but some do not
until they are deprived of them,
lost their sight temporarily and
but that is life. Who really ap-
preciates seeing; Those who have
regained it again. You cannot really
know what a blessing the five
senses are until you lose the use
of one of them. There are some
people who really have learned to
appreciate the blessings they are
enjoying, but they are far and few
between.
During this Thanksgiving season
many families travelled miles
to be together again and how they
enjoyed living over their young
err years together. At the time
when they were young and to-
gether they took each other for
granted. Now, years later, they
realize those were 1.-The good old
days.
While you and your families are
together try not to forget the
little children Of your friends or
neighbors who win not have a good
day unless someone helps them. 1t

THANKSGIVING DAY

AS you observe Thanksgiving
Day, again, where stars and
stripes so proudly entertain the
heritage of Pilgrims and their
feast, may harvest blessings reap
pear and fall upon your home
address and banquet-haIl. May
your beloved ones be blessed to-
day, across the miles with bonds
that seal and pray with Gramercy
and love, Thanksgiving Day.
And may you touch with SYM
pathy, cold hands, in thought,
with word or deed. Exchange a
creed with some forgotten, lonely
heart that stands alone without
a friend, in silent need. And may
you make a strangers heart,
somewhere, feel less alone today,
and more aware of ways that can
be kind to solitaire, with gramercy
and love, Thanksgiving Day.
