the storm.
It soon became apparent that
the flashes were some sort of
1 code.
Crawling on their hands and
knees against the 150-mile wind,
it took Hironemus and another
Red Cross worker a half-hour to
reach the house. Inside the par
tially wrecked home they found
a mother and her five children,
all cut by flying glass. The sig
nals had come from an 11-year
old son, who had learned Morse
code as a cub scout. The family
was given first aid and removed
to the Red Cross chapter house
when the wind had calmed.
Then there's the story of Mrs.
Alma DeLancey and he* eight
children, of "Tick Ridge," on the
sand dunes near Jenson Beach,
Fla. As their little cottage began
ripping apart, Mrs. DeLancey
started to herd her family to the
house of a relative 75 yards a
way. In her arms she carried 2
month-old Clyde Christopher,
wrapped in a blanket.
As they stepped into the 150
mile wind, Clyde Christopher,
blanket and all, was wrenched
from his mother's arms and
whisked away in the darkness.
Crawling on their hands and
knees to keep from being blown
away themselves, the DeLanceys
searched desperately but futilely
for little Christopher until nearly
exhausted. Then they fought
their way into the house of the
relative.
After Tour hours of raging'
wind, during which Mrs. DeLan
cey tried to reach someone who
could help them, another search
party set out to locate Clyde
Christopher.
In a weed patch 75 feet behind
the DeLancey house they finally
found him, still wrapped in the
blanket, dozing atop a pile of tin
cans as if nothing had happened.
He didn't have a scratch.
Red Cross activity in the year's
first Florida hurricane included
the opening of more than 240
shelters in which about 24,000
persons sought refuge. It was ex
pected that applications for Red
Cross aid would total more than
4,500.

TIMBER LAND
WED.. NOV. 2ND
10:30 A. M.
Formerly the Judge Finley Farm, located
20 miles northwest of Statesville, N. C., 15
miles Southeast of North Wilkesboro, N.
C., just west of hardsurface road that
leads from Statesville to North Wilkes
boro, near New Hope. It has been crused
from 3 1-2 to 5 million feet of timber.
We have eat this valuable timber land into 10 tracts. Most of
the timber is on about 600 to 700 acres. Each specific tract
is being crused so the potential buyer will know approximately
the amount of timber on each respective tract. Cut to suit the
small timber .buyer as well as the large one. It consists of
about 60 per cent pine and about 40 per cent oak, poplar, etc.
A sandclay road runs through the western part of this land.
It would be fine for farms, grazing land, also orchards after
the timber is taken off. On that part that does not have heavy
timber on it, it has a lot of young timber that can be used
for pulp wood and thousands of locust posts.
t will be sold on terms of 1-3 cash down,
>alance 1-2-3 years equal payments, de
erred payments bearing 6% interest.
Now if the timber is cut the purchaser will have to pay cash
for that part he cuts the timber off. It will be sold so any
porcaser may get any amount or all of it.
