SWEPT BY FLOOD A flash flood swept a swath two
blocks wide through the downtown section of Harrison,
Ark., leaving at least five dead and millions of dollars
worth of damage. Automobiles were swept along by the
12-foot wall of water and smashed into buildings. The
scene here is on Court House square in Harrison.

There'i Life in a Broken
Tree But It Fades Fast .
Several months ago the tree
had been cut down leaving a
stub about six feet high that
acted as an anchor post for a
line fence- The gaunt stub
was firmly anchored in the
moist soil by a complicated
system qf roots.
It was solid and firm, and
bark covered. For some time
the stub went unnoticed it
was just a post to those who
passed that way.
Spring came and the passer
by noticed a strange thing.
The stub was sprouting leaves
and small twigs. From numer
ous crevices in the bark tiny
green shoots appeared at
the end of a few weeks the
stub ' was almost completely
leafed out. All who passed
that way marveled at the
mystery of growth. All be
lieved the tree had revived it
self; that once again it would
send out new limbs and even
tually would again become a
tree.
However, such hopes are
futile. The tree or what is left
of the tree is dead, very dead
but as yet the plant refuses
to admit it.
A Short Time Hence
' But in another few weeks
or months, the young tender
leaves and the delicate twigs
will wither away and die-
There is a scientific reason,
of course, why apparently
dead trees often stay alive and
send out green leaves for a
short time, even after the
body of the tree has been com
pletely destroyed; in many
instances even when the roots
have been cut away.
A normal, healthy tree
growing in its selected or im
posed environment, i s con
stantly manufacturing p la n t
food, distributing nutrients to
its tissues, bringing food ele
ments to its leaves and bran
ches. Many of these food ele
ments are not used immediat
ely, but are stored in the tis
sues for future use. In every
section of the tree in the
limbs, roots and trunk, many
of these elements lie impris
oned. Food Remains
When an accident occurs,
such as happened to the tree
that was severed from its
body, to be retained as
fence post, the contained food
in the amputated stub has ac
tivated the growth of new
twigs and new .leaves, and
what remains of the tree ap
parently comes alive.
The situation is like that
of an amputated limb from an
animal's body. The body that
grew and nourished it does-
n t know of its absence; It re
fuses to recognize the fact the
limb is no longer there. The
nerve ends still register, and
the message 'goes back to the
brain. As far as the central
nervous system is concerned,

Give Carling Black Label Beer
your own personal taste test... it's
the beer for people who like a fine
brew. Light! Lively! Thirst-satisfying
and good. That's why more and
more people here are calling
for America's fastest growing
beer with' this cheerful call,
"Mabel, Black Label."
the foot Is still present, even
though in actuality it has been
severed from the parent body
for a long time.
In the case of the tree, what
would be nerves, blood ves
sels and tissues in a living
animal, are tubes and chan
nels through which the sap,
the life blood of the tree, us
ually flows. These little tubes
are closed.
Gone, too, is the main sec
tion of the trunk, the limbs
and the leaves, but contained
in the tissues of the stub is
enough nourishment to send
forth a few new leaves. The
bitter and desperate strug
gle to live is there, too, but
actually the tree is dead. Dead
except for a spasmodic and
momentary gesture which at
best will last but a little
while. Very soon the ampu
tated body will sturve to
death.
Many Americans
Stranded in Cuba
Miami - IUPD - An American
woman fleeing Fidel Castro's
Cuba said here that "hun
dreds" of Americans are
stranded in Havana, unable to
get clearance to leave or
space on outgoing planes.
"Nobody helps us," the refu
gee said. "I don't know why
the State Department doesn't
do anything. I was two weeks
trying to get out of there."
The Castro newspaper Corn-
bate reported in Havana Mon
day that about 2,000 Roman
Catholic churchmen-most of
them. Spaniards-had applied
for exit permits since Castro
declared that foreign priests
who don't like his revolution
ary government would have i
to get out of the country.
