Night BOBBY CHAMPION AND HIS MELODY WRANGLERS 1 Finest Western Music in the Pacific Northwest. See and Hear Them Every Saturday Nite. 6:30 - 7 P.M. - KBES-TV Rogue Valley BALLROOM Sightseers, Flies Become Pests in Rebuilding Town Udall Kan. (U.PJ Since UdaU was almost wiped from the map by Kansas' worst killer tornado on May 25 the town's biggest problems have been sight-seers and flies. The curious come in their cars by the thousands on week ends. The flies also by the thous ands, are on hand every day. They buzz about the faces of busy, determined men and wom en at work rebuilding after disaster. To date the death toll 'is 80: Some of the more than 300 in jured remain . in critical condi tion in hospitals. But one new citizen of the town already has made an ap pearance. David Lynn Boyd, whose mother survived the storm, was born at Wichita and promptly was nicknamed "Tornado" by family friends. Sunday is a day of work in Udall now, and it is necessary for guards to hold back the tour sist who otherwise would clutter the streets and interfere with the rebuilding of old homes and the erection of new ones. Co-workers Help The Lester Grants' two-story brick home was ruined, but a frame house they had rented out was left standing although damaged. It is being remodeled. Later they plan to rebuild on the site of the destroyed resi dence. ; The walls went up quickly for the new Jean Foote home. He's a worker at the Boeing Airplane Co. plant at Wichita and each week end 20 to 30 of Boeing em ployes have turned out to help Foote build the house. Workers at two other Wichita aircraft factories, Beech and Cessna, are aiding three more Udall families construct new homes. One of the first structures to rise after tons of debris were scraped up by bulldozers was a new "city hall." It's a tempor ary, makeshift building, with un painted plasterboard partitions for city offices. City Clerk John M. Arbuckle sat at his desk, swatted flies and said: "There's not much news we're just coming along as best we can. Our biggest problem is German Letter Worries, Then Gladdens, Parents Wichita, Kan.(U.R) -Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Huffman have a new daughter-in-law, but there were quite a few anxious moments be fore they found out about it. After not having heard from their soldier son in Germany for several months, they eagerly opened a recent letter from Ger many. To their dismay, it was not from their son, and it was written in German. Fearing the worst, Huffman hurried out to find someone who could read it for him. When he returned his frowns had turned to smiles. The letter was from a German girl, Margot Spears, telling the Huffmans that she was their new daughter-in-law .She had married Sgt. Herbert Huffman a few days before. "Darn that boy!" said Huff man. "You'd think he'd M least write to let us know he was married. But he never was much of a letter-writer. Once we had to get his general after him." STARTS Walk up and down the aisles you'll see nothing but smiles!

They even stop on the highway, blocking traffic, to take pic tures." Bank Deposits Up The odor of cooking wafted through the frame building, built in a day shortly after the tornado. It came from the Red Cross canteen, and prompted Mrs. Francis , Thompson, Ar buckles' assistant, to comment, "Those Red Cross people have done a wonderful job." At the other end of "City Hall," the temporary post office was a busy spot. T. F. Hildebrand, president of the Udall Bank of Commerce is full of confidence in the town's rehabilitation. The bank build ing was spared by the storm. Bank deposits, increasing daily, are nearly $1,000,000. When the tornado struck they were just $504,000. Demolition insurance payments provided the fresh money. Hildebrand hired two new employes. There's another business booming, too. An elderly little woman, Mrs. C. E. Grey of Dewey, Okla., set up a stand and sells postcards of the tornado torn town. The pictures were taken not long after the big wind hit. On a recent Sunday she, her husband and son, who live in a trailer outfitted with proto graphic equipment, sold sight seers some 25,000 postcards at 10 cents each. "This is our 20th storm," Mrs. Grey said. OFFERED CONTRACT Hollywood (U.R) Scott Frost, winner of the Hambletonian Stakes at Goshen, N.Y., Wednes day, has been offered a motion picture contract.
