in chilly weather today to be
gin the monumental job of re
claiming their homes,' lands and
possessions from desolation.
The toll of dead from the
Christmas week storms and
floods rose to 61 in California
and 13 in Oregon for a total
of 74. Damage estimates passed
the 150 million dollar mark, o
As the flood waters began rer
ceding in most areas, they left
a thick layer of alime over ev
erything they once covered. Res
idents of 43 Northern Califor
nia counties had to wash it off
everything they owned.
Many refugees returned to
their homes to find that muddy
waters had covered their stoves,
appliances, furniture and cloth
ing. Others found their business
es washed away, their merchan
dise destroyed. Still others lost
cattle, crops and farm buildings.
It was the job of the Red
Cross, Small Business Adminis-

flood waters in his county and
remembering Noah on the ark,
sent out an all-points teletype

Student Jests How Well
Frogs Hear Under Water
Iowa City (U.R) A Dutch ex

Willem van Bergeijk, 24, from
Eindhoven, Holland, said his re

the world but will add to the
store of knowledge about am

So far, he said, tests indicate
frogs feel sound waves through
their muscles or skin while un

baby frogs, don't react the same
way their big brothers do.
"They're just crazy, mixed-up
amphibians," he said.

an idea of the Job ahead.
Meanwhile, scattered showers
fell throughout the state, but the
rainfall was light and not
enough to cause further flood
ing. A cold snap brought more
snow to the Sierra Nevada, slow

Although the flood waters
were receding in most .. areas,
there were still some danger
spots, especially along the Sac

These included the delta re
