Orlea Panic today b derisive confidence with recidents of the Acadian country hieretofore have viewed possibilities of a flood. itic appeals for wid | were received at all concentration centers and relief workers were sent out to save same persons who a few days ago refused to leave their homes when pleaded with by res- cue workers. The cause for the sudden change was disclosed when refugees arriy- ing at the camp at Lafayette said that they had not been afraid when flood warnings had been broadcast but when relatives and friends from farther away Bayou Teche had spread the alarm their confidence dwindled. Now a Raging Torrent Bayou Teche which flows through the heart of the Acadian country and ordinarily seems to have no current, bas become a raging torrent the backwaters of the Atcha and Bayou Des Glaises breaks and has overflowed its banks in many Pplaces. T Resldents of Arnaudville said that water had just reached that town yesterday afternoon when they left. ‘They added that it was coming up so rapidly that many probably would | be cut off before they could get out and would have to be taken away in boats. The sudden rise in the Teche found the town unprepared. | All women and children were or-| dered out immediately, while the men stayed behind to save what they could. Relief Work Planned Because of the sudden change in front on the part of the threaten- | ed area, which is 100 to 130 miles northwest of New Orleans on the west slde of the river, facilities have been seriously taxed. A trainload of boats and 35 men reached Lafayette last night and a train was sent to Washington, La., from Monroe. Another trainload of eraft was on the way from Beau- mont, Texas. y An additional fleet was being concentrated at Morgan City and Pouma. Several coast guard patrol boats and private craft were being gathered, as well as 20 flat boats, one yacht and eight surf launches. It was expected that the fleet would be used to operate up the Atcha- basin as far as Opelousas and Livonia and stand by in case of emergency at other points.
