Fosters and their two teenage sons dur ing the big—and sudden—coast al storm of March 7. “A nightmare it seemed, and would that it had been, for now we know it’s a reality!” said Mrs. Foster to Red Cross work er Mrs. Henry Fay from Mill brook, Ala. yhe Atlantic spilled across the beaches, poured a wall of water down a washed-out roadway, | and inundated the Foster home and other homes in the old Nags Head" community a half-mile away.

Their emeinrgency eased, the Fosters are eager to build- back —not at their old site, which now is a part of Roanoke Sound —but not far away, on other property they possess. “They haven’t the means to do this all by themselves,” said Mrs. Fay. “The Red Cross is helping them to work out a recovery plan. This probably will mean a grant of funds to supplement the family’s means for obtaining the needed money. At this point, the amount they will need is uncertain, but the ' Red Cross will help them to the extent needed, and without obli -1 gation to repay it The Fosters are among sever ' al thousand families being as -1 sisted in the Atlantic coastal storm area from North Caro lina’s Outer Banks to New 1 York’s Long Island, and in flood ed areas of Kentuck, West Vir- I ginia, Idaho, and other states where relief operations continue. Funds for this work were con tributed in annual Red Cross and united fund campaigns. Family resources are being supplemented by grants of Red Cross funds for reconstruction and refurnishing of owner-occu i pied homes, occupational, medi cal care and other storm-related needs, according to disaster re lief officials. Total Red Cross expenditures for aid to the victims of these disasters of the past month will exceed $1,300,000, national head quarters in Washington, D.
