Polio Foundation
 Collectors Fined, Jailed

MINNEAPOLIS R - Defend ants in the Sister Kenney Foun- dation mail fraud case have five days in which to file notice of ap- peal of their sentences which ranged up to 10 years and Sl7,O0O in fines.
 In sentencing the defendants Friday, U. $. District Judge Ed ward J. Dewitt castigated them as greedy, avariciouS, interruptions conspiratOrs. He told them they'd stolen dimes and dollars donated with sacrifice by so many for their own selfish purposes
 Stiffest terms of 10 years in prison and S17,OOO each in fines were levied against Abraham L. Koolish, Fl, and his son, David, 43, who operated Chicago fund raising organization and had the Kenney account.
 A 1O-year term also was inn posed on Marvin l.. Kline, 60, for mer executive director of the foun- dation and Minneapolis mayor in the early 1940s That term is to run cOncurrently with al0-year sentence he received earlier for fraudulently having his salary raised by $23,OO0.
 John B. Carnell, 59, Chicago, associate of the Koolishes, got a five-year term. and former Ken eny publicist, Fred Fadell, was sentenced to a year and a day in prison. Fadell pleaded guilty.
 J. George Zimmerna, St. Paul, former accountant for the Founda- tion, was placed on probation for five years.
 Government attorneys charged that some $2O million was raised through solicitation for the Foun- dation during the 195Os, but that only about $9 million went to the Kenney Institute here, which has battled polio and other crippling diseases.
 The Foundation has been re- organized since the scandal and only lately reported it was run ming in the black again.

TOWN BENEATH THE SEA

Continued
meal Staple fare was corn bread, fried fish
and fried apples.
Flax and the wool from the islanders own
sheep provided cloth. Perhaps because of the
proximity to salt water apple and pear trees
did not do so well, but fig trees were every
where. Each family had one.
Although there we're few shallow wells,
most of the drinking water came from cisterns,
erected to catch the rain. The island needed
very little from the mainland.
There was even a miSer, Uncle Sam Kelly,
who died in 1908. No Hetty Green, he still
amassed considerable money from his little
store, which no one ever entered. He would
lock it in the early morning, 60 to the south
end of the island and take orders. Cadging a
lunch there, he would return to deliver the
goods, then repeat the process at the north
end, where he cadged dinner.
Cigar boxes containing S., 600 in gold and
currency were found in the store after his
death and there were whispered tales of
money buried elsewhere. In fact, some sus-
piciOuS old bills were said to have been found
after the great Ash Wednesday storm battered
the coast last spring.
In the midst of this plenty, the sea was not
idle. Steadily it tore at the island until on
August %, 1888. great storm arrived, possibly
the one that created Ocean City'S inlet 1t laid
the islands trees in windows and flooded the
houses.
That fall there was another very high tide
and the island people began the big exodus.
Oyster barges were called in and homes were
ferried to the mainland. Seven of them are now
at Willis Wharf, three at Quinby and several at
Wachapreague. The church was moved to
Oyster.
Today the site of the town of Broadwater
is sandy waste, marked only by the skeletons
of dead trees and a windOwless Coast Guard
station, abandoned in l945. The four miles of
land have Shrunk to quarter mile. The only
visitors are occasional campers and surf
fishermen.
The most eerie sight of all is the appear
ance, at dead low tide, Of the towns cemetery.
Captain DOughty's father is buried there and
Mrs. Doughty's former husband, along with
many others.
One of the inscriptions to be seen as the

headstones reads:
