That structure on the brow of‘the knoll was more than a shelter for boyvs and girls seeking knowledge —it was the real heart of La Plata. In that building was centered the am- bitions, the hopes, the expectations of La Plata’s people—children, sons and daughters—men and women of tomorrow. Fourteen of them will never see tomorrow. A wind, twisting and turning, fear- tully strong, tore out La Plata’s heart, crushed it, trampled it, left it bruised and beaten. Tuesday was the blackest day in La.

Yesterday her people | were unstrung, distraught, nervous. Business was at a standstiil. To the |first glance of an outsider, here | seemed to be a town utterly off keel. | But_little by little ‘came glimmers of La Plata’s real self. A hotelkeeper spoke: The only building in town we didn't { want any harm to come to, you see— our schoolhouse. Why, 1'd rather hing—every- | thing—rather than that. | Words look cold in type. You should hear the warmth behind those uttered by that man. He meant what he said. He was typical of the town. He was virtually La Plata speaking. Must Be for the Best. Again, vou hear a woman saying: Terribls That's no name for it. e isn't any name for it. But I suppose it had to be. Yet it must be {for the best. You see, I believe in {God.” | She talks simply. And somehow you seem to think again, here is La | | Plata speaking. La Plata, you find, | {is devout. Her people are warm and | friendly folk. They have deep sym-| pathies. They are capable of holding deep sorrow. ~But—La Plata really | belteves in God. And somehow you feel -that Ta Plata’s belief in God is just a bit more powerful than the influences which sorrow and grief and suffering can generate in the hearts of men. That's} why La Plata, resigned to the fate, that has come to its children, with heart wrung from its municipal body, stands head up, shoulders squared, somewhat superior to that awe-inspir- ing tragedy. And yet La Plata’'s eyes are not {exactly ‘dry. This is the story of La Plata and the tornado of Tuesday. It stands out above the items and incidentals that made up the news of that terrible day. casing, an automobile became a twist- ed mass of steel and iron, corn in the flelds was stripped bare to the kernels by the force of the wind. Both Mr. and Mrs. Padgett, how- ever, escaped injuries through some inexplicable prank of fate. . Closer toward the school was the home of Edward Della, farmer. The same flattening force razed his house to the ground, The tornado then had swept on to the schoolhouse knoll. A red oak tree, hard and wiry, was twisted around as | though it were a wet match and de- nuded of its golden Autumn leaves A locust tree, hardy and old, was up- rooted and flung against the side of the school.

These pine trees some- | day would probably have been cut for Christmas trees for some Yuletide | festivity, That thought forced itself {home when spectaiors viewed these |little_trees yesterday.

SOCIAL FINANCING PLAN GETS BOOST Associated Chari- ties Names Two to Con- fer on Joint Action. Another move toward the formation of a joint committee of Washington's social agencies interested in the study of some more unified method of financ- ing their respective services was made yesterday, when the Associated Chari- ties board of managers at the regular meeting in the Social Serv.ce House authorized the chairman, Coleman Jennings, to appoint a committee of two members of the board to confer with any similar committees named by _other organizations. This action was in line with that taken last week by the Citizens’ Re- lief Association, which authorized the first committee for the consideration of federated methods of financing, the members of which are former District Commissioner Louis Brownlow and Walter C. Clephane, formerly secre- tary of the chal B! committee. Cha.rman Jenning appointed Charles C. Glover, jr., and Arthur Hellen to represent the Asso- ciated Charities. Mr. Glover was sec- retary of the special committee ap- po.nted last year to investigate the federation plan. Secretary Presents Report. Secretary Ufford presented at yes- terday’s meeting a summarized state- ment of all the operations of the Associated Charities for the fiscal year ending September 30. This analysis of the welfare work thus done s made on the plan adopted by the American Association for Organiz- ing Family Soclal Work and shows total expenditures last year for relief and personal service amounting to $97,488.13. The total cost of this wors, including administration of the entire organization, ra.sing of funds, maintainance of properties, interest and mortgage and operation of the executive office was $21,336.62. It is pointed out that the value of the services of the welfare workers in providing care and treatment for 1,413 dependent familles, consisting of 6,104 ind.viduals, 3,470 of whom were chil- dren under 16, cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. The report of the visitors of the soclety for October show a marked in- crease in the number of applications recefved and the amount of money spent for relief as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The number of famlies cared fo re 374, against 352 a year ago, © sum spent for materlal reiief © 4,395 as compared with $3 in October of Four of the families cared for until the present time have now been taken by the Board of Public Weltare for regular allowances and it is belleved that a number of widow with families now relieved by the Asso- ciated Charities wiil be found eligible to recelve such allowances from the Board of Public Welfare, Tliness Causes Tependency. immediate cause of dependency shown to be due to the illness of the wage earner. - For example, 216 of the 374 families were reported to be suff ng from iliness or physical disability of one or more of heir members.
