Last night, Mrs. Jenne, who per- | haps typifies all the housewives | and mothers in the area, said, | “Oh, we're living.”. - “We have just one kerosene lamp. Dr. Patrick O’Brien loaned it to us. The first night we went to bed at 8, but now we go at 9. “We have been cleaning up and cleaning up. We get food as we need it for each meal from a store “We finally got our gas man| to hook up our bottled gas stove yesterday afternoon. Before that we had to eat cold food like frank- furters although Wednesday we had steaks cooked on our outdoor grill. ‘ “We invited our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Willis and their | children, over that night. They’re worse off than we are. They live| on the first floor and had 36 inch- es of water. We only had 24 inches. “We just threw out all the chil- dren’s shoes—10 pairs—and bed slippers. When we get paid tomor- Tow, we've got to buy new shoes for everybody. We’ve got most of | our spare clothes hanging on the line to dry. *. “My husband has carried four trailer loads of stuff, including our studio couch and rugs, to the town dump and there’s a lot more down the cellar to go.” The back and side yard at the Jennes place were typical—short- ly before dark last night—of yards throughout the flood area, as fam- ilies ate meager meals at make- shift picnic tables, mostly sal- vaged furniture, and cooked food nearby over charcoal fires.

A total of 150- pounds of fish can be fried at one time, he said. Knopp said that the carpenter’s union will be asked to donate their labor for the construction of bench- es and tables and that local res- taurants will be requested to do- nate chefs for the fish fry. Knopp was appointed to the com- mittee after it was brought out that “he is the best promoter in town.” Stores Cooperate Meanwhile, plans were discussed | last night for other phases of the celebration.

They caught Conway and found | With attempting to hide in a brush pile. . Kirk said “Shelton’s “burp gun” was fashioned from a lighter fluid can with a metal tube, a bent} spoon handle as a trigger and the end of the spoon, filed to a point, for a firing pin, ‘. Pressure around the lower end of the spoon handle would bring the firing pin back into position and rubber bands would bring it forward with enough force to fire the weapon. Kirk said the weapon was loaded with a .22 caliber long rifle cartridge. Another escape from the jail was made Jan. 21 when three prisoners fled. Two were recaptured but the third is still at large.
