this narrow little island.
Those men came from the
Third Helicopter Company at
Fort Belvoir, Va. They dropped
down from the sky over flooded
Chincoteague to rescue some
700 of the islanders in the face
of the worst disaster ever to
strike here.
Under the command of Maj.
Jack G. Morrow, the Army
choppers were first alerted at
7 am. Wednesday with a report
that a polio patient on Chinco-
league had to be evacuated to
the mainland of Virginia's
Eastern Shore.
Five hours later, six more of
the Whirlybirds chugged south
from their Belvoir base to start
a mass air evacuation that was
to continue for many firing
sleepless hours. Mai. Morrow

officials at Fort Meade, Md,

You can count on it, say the

Mayor Hugh Thomas Crop

Mayor Juel C. Stamper of

he said.
Rehoboth Mayor Stampel

though visitors can get into
Virginia Beach itself, they are
not allowed in the wrecked
beachfront area. Summer home
owners must secure passes and
sign a roster to visit their ocean

from nearby Fort Story are
guarding against looting.
MACS HEAD, N. c. - Only
owners of beach cottages on the
sandy strip paralleling the

Guards are stationed at the

SHORE
Maryland Starts
Clearing Roads

However, Col. Warren John
son of the United States Army
Corps of Engineers treasured
residents of Ocean City last
night that their beach was
mostly intact in spite of the
storm. This was not true of
areas further north, such as at
South Bethany, Del, where the
ocean obliterated 8-foot dunes
behind the beach and reclaimed
100 feet of the beach itself for
the sea.
Ocean City residents also
took comfort in the speedy
action of the Maryland Gen
eral Assembly. which rushed
through a bill allocating 81
million in relief funds to
supplement the 100000 au-
thorized by Gov. Tawes for
road rebuilding.
Meredith Hoffmaster, of the
Small Business Administration
also surveyed the area by all
yesterday and reported 81
homes and Is businesses alone
the Maryland coast we're totally
destroyed. Another $50 homes
and los businesses were dam
aged, he reported. Federal
funds will be available as soon
as the damage survey is COM
pleted, President Kennedy said
in declaring Ocean City q
disaster area.
Estimates Await Cleanup
In Delaware, where the beach
resorts constitute a summer
capital of the United States
because so many Washington
officials were on the alert.
The State Board of Health Is
making regular checks on the
condition of drinking water in
every area damaged by the gale
winds and roaring seas.
Secretary of State Elisha
Dukes, named by Gov. Ebert
N. Carvel as DelaWare'S Co.
ordinator of Disaster Relief
planned many meetings over
the week end to plan the State's
comeback from the most disas-
trouS storm in its history. Dam
age estimates run as high as
$50 million for Delaware anc

Jerome E. Robbins, admin
strative officer for Wallops
Island, said sand and salt water
washed over some of NASA's
electronic equipment and some
of it was in So inches of water
for more than IL hours. He
said the storm had forced

No one, whether they are
residents, rescue workers or Of

Chincoteague today unless they
have been inoculated against
typhoid.
Maryland officials reacted
vigorously to the disaster at
Ocean City. Like Delaware and
Virginia's coastal regions, Mary
land has been declared dis
aster area eligible for Federal
aid funds. And State highway
officials have $500,000 and au-
thority to spend it to begin the
cleanup job at Ocean City.
They also have authority to
use 1900 prisoners for the job
of clearing streets and carting
away debris so that the town,
utterly dependent on it's sum-
mer trade for survival, can be-
gin to rebuild.
Countless tons of wet sand
have made a morass of streets
in Ocean City and rs bulldozers
are working to clear this away
so that Maryland Gov. Tawes'
order to put Ocean City back
on its feet" can be carried out.
With roads first on the pri-
ority list, Gov. Tawes ordered
State Roads Commissioner John
Funk to give immediate atten-
ton to highways, particularly
in coastal areas. The SRC has
an emergency fund of half a
million dollars and Gov. Tawes
told Mr.. Funk to use any part
of it that is required.
Boardwalk Is Gone
Ocean City, like Rehoboth,
no longer has a boardwalk.
HoWling winds ripped the two
mile-long boardwalk from it's
pilings Tuesday and WedneS-
day and surging water COM
pleted the job of destruction as
tidal waves swept in from the
ocean.

Don't Throw Those Boxes
Awuy

Wondering what to do with aii
those boxes after they've been
emptied of Santa's gifts? Don't
burn theml Miss Coral Morris,
Home Management Specialist, Uni
versity of Delaware, says they can
help you keep your closets order
ly in a pretty and practical way.
Cover ordinary boxes with beau
tiful paper and they're wonderful
for storage. The colors and pat
terms of the paper can serve to
tell you what's inside each box.
For example, put pink gloves in a
pink box, black gloves in a black
box, or things that go together in
similarly covered boxes.
For covering your boxes, M 5 $
Morris suggests you use gift-wrap
papers, adhesive papers, ric e
papers, book-lining papers, or any
thing else that strikes your fancy.
About all you'll need is a pencil
ruler, scissors, paste or glue, and
a damp sponge for wiping away
accidental paste smears.
Here are some other tips:
Always test the glue or finish
