struck the east coast last fall,
alone, destroyed more than a
billion dollars in property.
The following suggested pre
cautions .are designed to hold
life and property losses to a
minimum. The Board advises:
Occupants of water front
buildings to seek shelter away
from the sea upon being warned
of an approaching storm.
Immediate evacuation if there
is a threat of roadways being
/ washed away or flooded. High
wihds and rising waters may
maroon water front residents.
Travel at the height of a storm
is -exceedingly dangerous,
f A well-built house, located a
safe distance from the ocean, is
possibly the safest place during
a hurricane.
Move all loose material and
unsecured objects such as garb
age cans and porch furniture to
a safe place before the storm
hits. Raise awnings and tight
ly fasten or take them down.
Batten down shutters and
board windows carefully with
good wood. An improper or
makeshift job could do more
harm than good.
Brace display windows, doors
and other large exposed areas
against the wind with struts or
trusses to prevent .bending and
to cushion wind vibration.
In all buildings open one or
more windows on the side op
posite the wind direction to of
fer some ventilation. This also
may help to prevent wind dam
age. If the windward side is
undamaged, the windows should
only be opened slightly. How
ever, as soon as any windows
♦ are broken by the storm, addi- '
tional openings should be pro
vided at the opposite side of the

a pasture plant and summer
cover crop. It is hoped that

Canaan Temple Group
Drainage Project
Construction has begun on this
project by Richard Peele, the
successful bidder. The project
includes 14,515 cubic yards of
excavation on 9,275 feet of the
channel. 9.2 adres of right-of
way clearing, 4.7 acres of which
was cleared by the N. C. State
Highway Department. Power
lines were moved by the Albe
marle Electric Membership Cor
poration so the construction
could be done.
Total cost of the project is
around $5,000 including the work
done by the N. C. State High
way Department, the power
poles moved by the Albemarle
Electric Membership Corporation
and engineering services furnish
ed by the Soil Conservation Ser
vice through this district. Low
bid on the project for the exca
vation and 4.5 acres of clearing
was $2,950.20. The ACP pro
gram is cost sharing $1,451.50,
leaving the local landowners sl,-
498.70 plus their local cost such
as telephone calls, stakes and la
bor. Twenty-nine of 33 farm
ers in the project contributed or
pledged on the drainage project.
It will benefit 33 farms in the
Yeopim community.
house to help' equalize the pres
sure.
Since the water supply might
fail, sterilize jugs, bottles and
pots and fill with fresh water.
Fill the bathtub for an addi
tional supply.
An operating flashlight and
other emergency lighting is es
sential.
Keep on hand a food supply
that can be eaten with little or
no cookingi Since the storm
may disrupt electrical power,
keep emergency cooking facili
ties in safe working condition.
After The Storm
When the storm has passed
stay at home unless qualified to
give emergency assistance. Do
not hinder first aid and rescue
work.
Driving is particularly haz
ardous after a storm. If one
must drive be qn the alert for
fallen wires and branches, wash
ed out and flooded roads.
Do not touch wires knocked
down during the storm. Con
tact could be fatal.
Even after services have been
restored boil or sterilize drink
ing water until the Board of
Health advises otherwise.
During and after a storm the
threat of fire is ever present.
Because of disrupted communi
cations and hazardous driving
conditions fire fighting is par
ticularly difficult. Reduced
water pressure represents an
other threat to effective fire
fighting. Employ the utmost
caution against fire.
