John Smith, wherever in America héf lived, felt tc fury of the ele- | ments—dust blhizzards, earthquakes, burricanes, floods and pounding eas. He saw air crashes claim Wiil Rog- ers, Wiley Post, Cutting—and perhaps Sir Kingsford Smith—éar crashes Queen Astrid of Belgium, Mrs. old' L, Ickes, Prince Alexis Mdi Xhrough late winter and spring, Aty winds swept topsoil from mil- lions of midwestern acres, carrying t'sometimes thousands of miles. Started Erosion Fight Charles aim Senator Bronson | As weeks went by without rain, the dirt-laden winds blackened the atmosphere, poured dust into houses, | phfalyzed traffic, aggravated di- ! sease, resulted in untold crop dam- age. But midwestern Farmer John Smith, digging away the dirt that had drifted over his fences, almost | to the eaves of his barn, was undis- | mayed. He stayed where he was, planned to combat erosion, left a great American desert” develop. Later the earth again got John Smith’s attention, this time by quak- ing. From Wisconsin and Illinois to the Atlantic, and from Canada to Maryland, the east was shaken—but ever so slightly—early November 1. £t the same time, Helena, Montana, was passing through a much more severe shock. Another in a series of hundreds that began October 12, killed seven, and caused damage es- timated at more than $3,000,000. Dixie Grounded Thrilling and spectacular was the wrecking of the steamship Dixie off the Florida coast, September 2. For two days hurricane-lashed waters prevented rescue work. The last of the 231 passengers was transferred September 5. No lives were lost. The same hurricane devastated part of the Florida Keys, killed more than 400. Other - hurricanes roared ‘across southern ang eastern seas from Au- gust to October. Total storm deaths —more than 1,600; property damage —millions. Mohawk Wrecked Other ship rescues thrilled John Smith. September 30, the cruising Rotterdam with 450 passengers went aground east of Kingston, Jamaica. Everybody rescued. On January 6, the steamship Havana crashed into a reef off the Bahamas. Everybody rescued; one died in lifeboat. Eighteen days later came the year’s major disaster in American waters. At night, in icy weather off the New Jersey coast, the liner Mo- hawk, and the freighter Talisman collided. The Mohawk sank as ships and coast guard hoa's rushed to No matter in what section of United States John Smith resided in 1935, disasters great or small struck close” to" Hom# * Planes crashed, killing a great humorist, a great pilot, a prominent Senator. Ships went aground. Dust left a path of destruction. Hurricanes lashed the coasts. Earthguakes shook wide areas.
