Cloudburst Blamed. Tracing the course of the disaster. flood control engineers agreed that a cloudburst in the Montrose area pre cipitated most of the damage and loss of life. Montrose Is a community cupped In the foothills about lil miles due north of Los Angeles, sep arated from the metropolis by the low-lying Vardugo mountains. Fate apparently had prepared cir cumstances well for the terror it was to enact Sunday. Several weeks ago a disastrous fire, a blaze subsequent to the one In Griffith park here, which took 29 lives, had ubrned the La Crescenta-La Canada-Montrose area bare of the brush that protected the surrounding mountainsides. Normally heavy growths on moun tain slopes will counteract the possi bility of floods resulting from heavy rains. Thus with the hillsides bare, no resistance was offered by nature to the excessive rainfall. Olrl Tells Experience. Raining constantly, beginning late last Saturday, water accumulated until a wall 25 feet high was freed. Fourteen -year-old Jean Beauchamp told what It sounded like what It did. I was in a house alone when 1 heard a roar like a wind storm ap proaching. The roar grew louder and louder. Timbers crashed and then 1 heard the rush of water. I was too scared to run. Then suddenly the flood struck our home. The lights went out and I was thrown Into the muddy water. Rocks struck me as I tumbled through the water." Jean lived because she could swim and saw the stout branch of an oak tree, which she grasped, pulling her self to safety. Another said that "as the black demon of roar in water hit, the build- ; Ing quivered for a few minutes and then the wall went out and we found ourselves tossed about, fighting rocks.1 boulders and debris as we were swept on." So fast did the water flow in streets that one woman, stepping from the runnlngboard of her husband's auto mobile and attempting to ford the swlft-runntng torrent by foot was sucked beneath the machine to her! death. Five Die In Auto. Five died when their automobile, groping through the gloom, plunged through a bridge washout and was caught like a splinter In the mael strom of mud and water which had swept away the crossing. Three more automobiles disappeared over another bridge In a similar 'manner. Several men In them managed to swim to safety, but two women and another man have disappeared. Police expect L to uncover tneir bodies in the ac cumulation of silt and some may even have been washed as far as the ocean, 30 miles distant from the! scene or the accident. Automobiles were buried up to the hoods and sometimes nearly to the tops in debris and bom fell Into washes and gullies. i Streets In all sections were paved by silt to a depth ranging between six Inches to two feet. In some areas the avalanche of water still rumbled past today, although the principal danger apparently has passed, the weather bureau predicting unsettled weather today and clearing Wednes day. Schools Closed. Schools here and in Glendale. which adjoins the Montrose district did not open today. Examination of schools here already was underway as a result of the March earthquake, and it was feared the floods may have further weakened some structures. Sheriffs' deputies had retrieved 10 bodies from the wreckage in the Montrose district. Most of the vic tims were believed to have been In some 35 houses which were destroyed by the flood. Twenty-five' other homes were damaged extensively. Patrols were set up in all districts to prevent sabotage. In some sections of the Montrose district the highways are covered with j IS feet of debris, here and there an automobile or truck protruding. Tele phone, gas. light and water mains were wrecked. i llellef Organized. j While police and sheriffs officials directed a search for victims and sought identification of the bodies j recovered, other agencies organized; quickly to provide relief for sufferers and repair the damage done. Legionnaires aided the policing of the districts and helped supply first aid for many sufferers. Some 3.000 OWA workers pledged their aid in bringing order out of chaos and will be taken into the Montrose district this morning to begin the work of clearing highways. In sections of Venice, beach resort, where 1,500 homes were flooded deep ly by the overflow of water carried to the sea in canals, life guards man ned rowboats and rescued manv of the stranded residents, some of whom j F?l were lorceu w bccr ancivrr un wi second floor or In In the attics of their homes until aid arrived. 22 Adrienne's Start The New Year With A January Clearance I 1 " x Wf 1 rx .11 r NIGHT HATS One group of dinner hats, street hats,, velvet hats and smart metallics.

Without good vision, life cannot be lived to the fullest. Nothing can take its place. But children do not realize how precious their eyes are. They do not realize that to strain their eyes by reading or playing in a glaring light or in gloom may seriously impair their vision in later years. You must watch, their eyes and guard them from strain. It is a peculiar fact that children invariably pick a poorly lighted part of a room to read or play. This is a danger that can only be elimi nated by having good lighting throughout the room. If you have children in your home, watch their eyes when they are reading or studying. If they squint or frown, or hold m f , k In THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY their book too close to their eyes, lose no time in finding out and cor recting the cause of their eyestrain. In a bulletin on child welfare, the statement is made that, "many a child groping with poor eyes and struggling for an education against this handicap, becomes not only a stupid child, but a rebellious child." Where the light is poor the child is sure to strain his eyes. This may result in impaired vision in lator years that will prove to be a handicap throughout life. Many dealers, as well as this company, are sell ing a new indirect type of home lighting fixture that provides CORRECT lighting with a minimum of expense. Look to your light ing if you would keep the priceless treasure of good eyesight. Restful LIGHT Is Kind to Your Eyes
