MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Floodwaters Inundate Rich Farmlands in Three Midwest States By UNITED PRESS Floodwaters inundated rich cropland and drove families from their homes in Minnesota today, and new floods plagued North Dakota and Oklahoma. Four persons drowned Sun day, two of them in a rescue at tempt, when their boats over turned on a flood-swollen tribu tary of the Mississippi river southeast of Hastings, Minn. Dead were two teen-aged boys, Anton Lynn and Wayne Fren drich. and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lovejoy, about 40. all of near Hastings. A third teen-ager, Jcanette Kaiser, Hastings, swam to safety with the aid of a life jacket. Authorities said the youths' boat overturned and witnesses called for help. The Love joys Construction May Start on Armory Soon Seattle Construction will start this summer or autumn on Medford's new Army Reserve training center, according to Col. R. J. B. Page, Seattle dist rict engineer for the Army Corns of Engineers. The center will be build on four acres of the Jackson county housing project site west of Mc Andrews rd. At present, the lo cal Army Reserve training pro gram is being conducted in the Federal building on North Riv erside ave. A permit was sent to the gov ernment last January allowing surveys to be made as to suit ability of the former housing project area for armory pur poses. Preliminary surveys start ed at the site on Jan. 9. Construction will begin im mediately on a one-unit armory at Eugene, and will start soon on an armory at Corvallis, Col onel Page said. by calling Mrs. Thompson at SP. 2-4498, or visiting her at 208 West Jackson ave., Medford. J went to the aid of the youths. and their boat tipped over in the rescue attempt. The worst flooding occurred along the Minnesota and Crow rivers, which drain into the Mis sissippi. The Mississippi was ex pected to crest at lo'.j feet, 6 inches above flood stage, at St. Paul by Wednesday. About 25 families were forced to flee their homes along the Crow, which discharges into the Mississippi near Dayton, Minn. Farmers along the flooded Minnesota suffered disastrous washouts similar to those which occurred in 1951 and 1952. The river, normally only 200 feet wide, was swollen to nearly a mile at some points. The Knife and Cannonball rivers in North Dakota also left their banks and swept over thou sands of acres of farmland. Humid Weather in East Elsewhere, hot, humid wea ther clung to the East, but re lief was promised in the form of a cool air mass that pushed as far south as northern Texas and east to the mid-Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes. The advance of the cooler air produced scattered severe thun dershowers, with the heaviest rainfall reported at Nashville, Tenn., which was hit by more than an inch of precipitation. s amovar VODKA Made from grain. 80 proof.
