DISASTER VICTIMS
Tornadoes, Fires, Hurricar.es,
' Roods, Epidemics, Make
Record of Year
The American Red Crow assisted n-1
ferere In more disasters throughout the
United States during the year ending
June 30, 1935, than through any similar
period in the peace-time history of the
organization, Admiral Cary T. Gray
son, chairman, -revealed recently in
commenting on the annual - report
which has just been released. -
f( "The 128 domestic disasters In which
the Red Cross extended aid during the
fiscal year exceeded by 56 per cent the
average over the past few years," Ad
miral Grayson said. "Not only was the
period heavy In the number of disasters,
but the geographical distribution was
wide, with 37 States and 353 counties
affected.
'. "Through these disasters and times
of community distress, the Red Cross
assisted 110,000 persons," the Admiral
- disclosed.
Spectacular service was rendered In
many disasters because of the unique
ness of the problems and the far-flung
points affected. The work of the Na
tional organization covered In the re
port carries stories of the Mono Cattle"
burning; the trench-month epidemic in
the beautiful San Lnls Valley of Colo
rado; the great fight over a wide front
In the mM-west dust bowl against
respiratory diseases; floods, hurricanes,
and tornadoes In many sections of the
United States.
In addition to the disaster taking,

Annual Spraying
! Checks Leaf Curl
Peach Trees Need Attention
During Late Fall or in
Winter Months.
By R. W. Anderson, Chief In Pomolofleal
Pathology. University of Illinois. WNU
Service.
Fruit growers who hope to harvest
at least a normal crop of 8,000 car
loads of peaches next summer will play
safe by spraying their trees for lear
curl disease this season.
The disease is fairly easy to control
by the use of standard fungicides ei
ther In fall or late winter months. Fall

spray rigs are hard to get through the
orchard.
Dormant sprays for leaf curl are
usually prepared so that any scale" In
sects present may also be killed with
i the one application. For this purpose
a strong solution of lime-sulphur has
been the standard In past years. It Is
prepared by mixing 12 gallons of
liquid lime-sulphur in 100 gallons of
water, or If the grower is certain that
scale is not present, the leaf curl can
be controlled by using half the amount
of llme-sulphur, or 6K gallons In .100
gallons of water. V'.1, V-'
When applying the spray, It Is essen
tial to hit every twig,. as any. branch
missed, may develop the disease next
spring. Fortunately, the leaf curl fun
gus rarely spreads to new growth in
the spring months after It appears, and
consequently missed branches alone
Suffer. : . ,
Last year the peach trees of the
state were seriously Injured by an epi
demic of leaf curL Growers then ex
pected a renewal of the disease In the
spring of 1934, but weather conditions,
combined with more careful, spraying,
reduced the Infection to such an ex
. ( rt.i 1 .In.. In n nrn Hlln ttlA llUVV
tent that practically no damage war
done.
Outbreaks of peach Jeaf earl cannot
be predicted with .certainty and since
the only, effective remedy fa. dormant
spraying,' the best plan la to make ap
plications every , winter regardless of
the disease prospects. The absence of
leaf curl In one or even, four or", jtve
,. years In succession lsv no guarantee
if that the disease will not become serf
oMW following years.

Rum Runners Now Transfer
Cargoes at Sea.
Washington. Customs officials are
mapping plans for a decisive campaign
against the latest ruse of rum runners
who have shifted their bases to the
high seas.
Stripped of their former bases by
co-operative moves of the United
States, France, Newfoundland, British
Honduras and Guatemala, smugglers
are now chartering vessels to trans
port liquor cargoes from Europe for
delivery to smaller ships at sea.
This was disclosed In reports from
customs officials to executives of the
Treasury department
"k large Ifleet of planes Is operating
from seven scattered coastal points,
spotting doubtful vessels 60 miles out
at sea. These planes are In constant
touch with revenue cutters and land
stations.
Tightened restrictions on Atlantic Is
lands which previously had based large
numbers of rum running boats, have
driven the smugglers to bold meas
ures. Some In recent months have
even run small liquor vessels into large
American ports, on the chance they
would slip by.
One by one, the choicest operating
bases of the rum runners have van
ished. Marlel, Cuba; Belize in Brit
ish Honduras, Puerto Barrios In Guate
mala, St John's Island In Newfound
land and the French colony, St. Pierre
et Mlquelon, each has been closed un
der agreements with their governments.
Within the next two months, It was
Indicated, the drive against the char
tered ships is expected to be felt
Though the campaign may later be
extended to Pacific ports, rum smug
gling on that coast does not appear
so heavy- ' 'w '

The P. C. H. S, Indiana playeda
13-13 tie with the Aulander eleven in
Anlander last Friday.- - -i
The Indians had the game; in their
clutches until the last minute to play,
when vthe Aulander.; team completed
a pass to chalk, up their second tally,
making the score 13 ' all, ', but ; were
unable to connecf '.the extra point
which would have marked defeat to
the Hertford team.
The team played excellent foot
ball in Friday's game. Stokes at full
back gained through the Anlander
line for the Indians. Morris trotted
for about 60 yards for one of the
local's tallies. ...
The boys were naturally disap
pointed in having the game snatched
from them in the last minute, but
they are full of fiery pep and are
rearing to snatch the next grid en
counter. A chancre in the football schedule
has been made. Instead of the game
with Windsor being played in Wind
sor Friday, it will be played on the
local grid on Thursday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock.
This gives the locals a chance tc
see the last two games that end the
high school schedule for this year-
So come on out, fans, and let the
team know that you are back ol
them.
Pepped up and rearing to go, the
P. C. H. S. team has gone through
some plenty tough practice this week
in preparing for the next-to-the-last
grid clash of the year with Windsor
on the local grid on Thursday.
! Go to it, team! Show these Hert
ford fans some football I
The sophs took the freshmen
sophomore girls basketball game on
Tuesday afternoon, giving them a
whack at the senior team for the
school championship that will be
played in the near future.
It looks as thoueh the girls are,
to have a swell basketball team lor
the vear to come. From the way
thincs looked in Tuesday's eame,
there is plenty of good material for
the next few years.
One reason why the girls have such
a good team is that they have enough
out for practice to make up several
teams.
If the football teams had thte
much support we could have a plenty
good team.
Don't let the girls beat you, boys!
fThe Taming of Tuffy," the first
of a series of plays to be given for
the benefit of the Athletic Associa
tion, has begun to practice. The play
will be presented in the near future.

Her place cannot be filled, but the
beautiful life which she led will be as
a star ever pointing upward for us
to follow in her footsteps.
Surviving are three daughters,
Mrs. Addie Bright,. Mrs. Tom Story
and Mrs. Ferrell, all of Parksville;
and one son, Jim Davis. Several
grandchildren and great-grandchildren
