t MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREOON. WEDNESDAY. 'APRTL 1. 1936. PAOE PTVB LETTER 10 Multnomah Sheriff JUNIOR OPERETTA High School News by STUDENT REPORTERS I FLOOD CONDITIONS Wslter Frszer Brown of Mrdford yesterday received the following In teresting account ot conditions In the Pittsburgh flood area, written by a college mate who has long been mployed by the Westlnghouse com pany: "Much of the business section was flooded. In some places as high as the second story. Much of our own works (Westlnghouse Electric & Man ufacturing Co.) were under from five to ten feet of water. Fortunately, the loss of life win run under 100, but as for property damage it has been put as high as 4500,000,000. "All electrlo light, gas, wster, transportation and much of the tele phone and telegraph service were cut off. Wonderful work was done by our radio station KDKA, the only one which did not go down and out, but they had their own Independent power plant, and when the lights went off resorted to candles. "All radio of course was cut off In Allegheny county except In autos so equipped. Messages would be brought Into KDKA saying Connaut lake, had 40 rowboats ready to any community needing them. KDKA would broad cast them snd a little later word would reach KDKA that tbla or that borough needed 10 the worst way, so KDKA would broadcast this to Con Beau lake. "One of the finest bits of help furnished In this way was a broad oast from KDKA saying the only thing which was keeping 1500 rest dents ot that town from having drinking water was a las-horsepower motor, etc. and a few minutes later another broadcast announced that Westlnghouse had such a motor and was forwarding by truck In a round about way avoiding the flooded areas. "Being on a different electric sup ply and living In the adjoining county, our electricity was not cut off. so we kept very well posted. It waa all wonderful the way the people responded to calls for help and act ually did help one another. People who bad springs and wells were broadcast so others could go there, and each time they were told to bring their own containers; other people sent word tney would take care of one, two or more children or grownups. It would have made the veriest pessimist optlmlsltc." Klckernlck Slips Tailored and Lace S1.9S to $4.96. ETHEL WYN B. HOFFMANN'S.
