Several children were reported mlsslris early today, und because of the wide area from which the . sahool drew its students, no com plete check was possible. Caught without wurnlnx as thoy were re-entorlnir the two -story frame school house after tlio noon recess, some of the children wore blown 100 yards and others buried In the wreckage when the building was demolished by tho storm. : Great confusion followed the tor nado. Anxious futhers worked rev erlshly In the ruins, thuir anxiety Intensified because many Injured children had been hurriedly taken . to hospitals beforo the parents ar rived. The body of Miss Ava Carter, a teacher, was found 75 yards from the school. The bortv of Polly Car ter, 14, was curried DO yards. A. 8.

Identification tags wore pinned lo the children, Uecause of tho Isolation of Rye Cove, It was mora than two hours before aid could reach the stricken area over the mountnln roods. - J. M.
