Friday, February 24, 1981 THE DAILY. TAR HEEL xxirr IN DIXIE: 1!h Flqodb Laye CJyeF 5, (MM) Homeless By United Press International More than 5,000 persons were homeless Thursday and new cities were threatened by rain swollen flood crests rolling through Dixie. One flood crisis followed an other in a week-long downpour of record-breaking rains across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Four persons had drowned two in Mississippi and one each in Alabama and Louisiana. Plans were made for emer gency shelters in public build ings and churches, national guardsmen were mobilized, and damage mounted into the mil lions of dollars in the stricken area. Alabama Gov. John Pat terson called 'the situation "alarming.' ' Hattiesburg, Miss., and Mont gomery, Ala., were the latest cities to become victims of the floods.

Nearly half of the city was submerged by the con verging waters of the Leaf Riv er and Bowie Creek. At least two persons drowned in the area and four were missing. At Montgomery, the Alabama River was expected to rise to 48 feet, 13 above flood stage, by Friday. Plans were made to move residents of low-lying areas into church buildings. Birmingham, Ala., where 1,200 persons were forced from their homes, got a brief dry spell after a February rain record of 16.53 inches was set at 6 a.m. More downpours were expected Friday. While the South soaked, other parts of the nation weathered floods and snow. Wisconsin's Kickapoo and Pine Rivers went over their banks, closing schools and roads in the Viola and Reads town areas. Heavy rains flood ed dozens of streets in Detroit and the Kawkawlin River lap ped into lowlands north of Bay City, Mich. In the West, a late February snowstorm rolled from the Rocky Mountains to the North-, ern ' Plains. Colorado's Rabbit Ears Pass had 15 inches of fresh snow, two inches of snow fell on western South Dakota, and Minnesota was under a heavy snow warning. In the Southland, the roster of beleaguered cities included Laurel, Miss., where 100' fami lies fled their homes, and Shu- buta, Miss., where National Guardsmen helped 200 persons escape the surging waters of the usually placid Chickasaw- hay River. , The floods also made 100 per sons homeless '. at Northport, Ala., and drove 70 from their dwellings at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Georgia's flood threats were easing under 'sunny skies, but the Oostanaula River poured over several residential streets at Rome and 10 families had, to move in with friends and rela tives. In Louisiana, the Highway Department reported 23 roads closed and said 500 road proj ects now underway will be de layed because of high waters.

"GIVE A MAN A TOUGH JOB AND A CHANCE TO GO SOMEWHERE ...AND HE'LL BREAK HIS NECK TO DO IT" In 1958 when Bill Ebben was only a few months away from his engineering degree at the University of Detroit, he was in touch with 15 prospective employers. He chose the Michigan Bell Telephone Com pany because: "This company offered the kind of engineering management opportunity I wanted and they weren't kidding." One of Bill's first assignments was a survey of Michigan Bell's big Central District to find out how long available building space could accom modate the switching equipment required by rapid telephone growth. "I wasn't given any instruc tion," Bill says, "I was just told to do the job." So Bill did it. His report became the guide for planning and budgeting future construction. On his next move, Bill proved he could handle supervisory responsibility. He was sent to head up a group of seven engineers to design a new long distance switching center for Saginaw, Michigan a $4,000,000 engineering project. Today, Bill is on the staff of Michigan Bell's Program Engineer. He's working on a system for mechanized control of telephone construction costs. How does Bill feel about his job? "Give a man a tough job and a chance to go somewhere and he'll break his neck to do it. Of course, I don't think I'm going to be running the business next year but I'm getting every opportunity to hit the top. You don't worry about opportunity here you worry about whether you're as big as the job." you're a man like Bill Ebben, a man who can size up a job, figure out what needs to be done, and then do it then you should get in touch with one of the Bell Companies. Visit your Placement Office for literature and additional information. "Our number one aim is to have in all management jobs the most vital, intelli gent, positive and imaginative men we can possibly find' Frederick R. Kappel, President American Telephone & Telegraph Co. BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES " " mini f I i ii ! ii f ' 1 VI i mm J '
