fire hazards pointed out by the
nrevions ffrnnrl inrv is unrWwov
but that the screens haven't been
altered yet.
JURORS THANKED
Sherman said the grand jury's
report was "well intentioned"
and thanked grand jurors for
their "splendid cooperation" in
suggesting ways to improve juve
nile detention facilities.
"We deplore the fact we don't
have a fire-proof building for
housing the juveniles," Sherman
declared.
He pointed out, however, that
there is a push-button in each
room that can be used to signal
a night supervisor. "If any boy
or girl wants to leave his room
at night, a push of the button
will bring the supervisor."
PRACTICAL REASON
Sherman asserted the individ
ual rooms must be locked "from
a practical standpoint."
A main reason for locking the
rooms at night, Sherman said, "is
to keep the boys out of the girls'
rooms and the girls out of the
boys rooms.
Cooking facilities at Skipworth
Juvenile Home were found to be
neat and clean" and the meals
plentiful and palatable," accord
ing to the report. Grand jurors
also stated the supervisory staff
was "interested and capable."

'Hazel' Sweeps
Town to Sea
200 Hurt, Killed
On Island of Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Ul
Hurricane Hazel swept almost all
of the town of Jeremie into the
sea and caused the death or in
jury to more than 200 persons in
its strike across the southwest
peninsula of this island republic,
reports said Wednesday.
No one could say how high the
casualty figures might go.
A radio report from Marfranc
rubber experimental station in
the area hit Tuesday said two
men from Jeremie reported:
HOMES GONE
The prison hospital was swept
away. Homes of nuns and priests
were washed into the sea and the
bank damaged. Most of the small
er homes in the town vanished
under the pounding of the hur-
neane-dnven waters.
The two men gave their report
after struggling to the rubber
station over a mountain path.
There was no official estimate
of the dead or injured, or of
property damage. The two sur
vivors from Jeremie urged that
a special appeal be sent to Presi
dent Paul Magliore for help.
WASHED AWAY
The settlement of the Mar-
franc rubber experimental sta
tion of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture was washed away,
The only connection with Jere
mie was by the footpath that
wound over a mountain. Roads
were impassable. A steady rain
hampered relief work Wednes
day and impeded communica
tions. While rain flooded Port-au-Prince
streets, the government
mobilized i flat-bottomed boats
and other 'equipment for rescue
work at Damiens and nearby
Croix des Missions.
