WINDS DAMAGE from page 1
there was some wind damwp*
The south wall of tee gin office
suffered heavy damage when a
cotton trailer was thrown into it.
Four trailers were almost com-
pletely destroyed, and a~ car
badly damaged.
Jay Newton, tee manager of tee
gin stated: “We aaw a wall of
dirt coming, and at first thought
it was a whirlwind. It hit with
a roar, and we saw the cotton
trailers lifted clear of the
ground-one came directly at tee
building and when it smashed
into the wall we thought it was
coining in.”
While the damage on the out-
side appeared to be conftoed
to a bunch of concrete Mocks,
it was clearly outlined on the
inside—tee entire wall is crack-
ed and parts of it shattered,
and all of it will have to be re-
placed.
“1 guess it was a tornado,
a very small one," said Mr.
Newton. “It did not last more
than a minute—as it (grit, a
trailer teat was In tes air
dropped to the ground, and the
wind, wMch had been Mowing
at almost hurricane strength,
died to a wMsper, and it com-
menced to sprinkle rain.”
The damage was confined to
the one spot—trailers in other
places were not damaged.
At Sundown there was a half
Inch of rain, a little hall and a
lot of wind, but no damage.
Whitharral reported a good
rain, lots of wind, but no dam-
age to crops. However, over in
the Oklahoma Flats Commun-
ity, it is reported that hail did
damage to the cotton crop.
In tee Arnett Community a half
of inch of rain was reported
with no damage to crops.
It is reported Levelland re-
ceived almost an inch of r sin-
in spots—the wind started in the
early morning and continued
UP until tee storm wMch struck
after 1 o’clock. Hail tee size
of pebbles up to tee size of golf
bells fell In the town, besting
the leaves from the trees and
doing other damage. That tbs
wind was higher In some parts
of tes city than In othsrs is In-
dicated by the fact teat trees
lost large limbs while tee storm
was In progress.
There was a damaging wind
in the vlcinty of the Heard Gin,
six miles west of Levelland.
Lyndsll Kinley, editor of tee
Sun News , accompanied Sher-
iff Weir Clem to the scene of
tee damage, and snapped the
pictures shown above.
Sheriff Clem said, “Otoe sec-
tion of tee cement Mock bar-
racks—about 75 yards long, was
completely unroofed, and tee
east wall was Mown down. In
tela barracks lived 17 families
and they lost most of their per-
sonal belongings."
Sheriff Clem appealed to the
local Red Cross for help, and
was at first told nothing could
bs dona aa they would have to
contact St. Louis, than Reese
Air Force Base before any
help could be secured. How-
ever, there is one catch about
using cots and Maiftets from
tea Hesse Air Force Base,
someone has to be rwsponsL-
Ma for team-end no one could
be found who would take the
responsibility for tes return.
So that Una was given up.
Mrs. Bob Ford, head of the
local Red Cross, took the mat-
ter in band snd bought blankets
and food for the suffering people
-who were without food,
clothing and bed clothing.
The barracks was a complete
wreck. It is hard to see how It
was that someone was not injur-
ed when tee roof was lifted and
tea wall gave way. Concrete
blocks and debris was scatter-
ad all over tee place. One slab
of the roof had fallen an a pick-
up and had it amost completely
covered.
The barracks belonged to the
Heard Gin and It la estimated
the damage would amount to a-
round $6,000. Also damaged
was a pickup and truck belong-
ing to occupants of tbs build-
ing.
A spokesman at the gin told
tee Sun News the way tes dM*>

Cooperatives are made up of PEOPLE. Pat-
rons, Boards of Directors, Management and
other employees.
Patrons art probably the most important
for with out them there would be no need
for the rest of the organization. Some jobs
are either too large or to expensive for the
individual patron, hence people join together
sharing capital Investment on a patronage basil,
doing services that they as individuals can
not perform.
The local Associations by sharing in invest-
ment on a patronage bests have regional ope-
rations second to none in the world, such
as rosins Cooperative Oil Mill, Farmers
Cooperative Compress, Growers Seed Associ-
ation and the producer owned world wide Mark-
eting Association.
Boards of Directors are elected from the
patrons on a one patron-one vote basis. Direc-
tors then employ management capable of ope-
rating the business. Management gathers in-
formation from several sources and through
qualified employees he has employeed, he act-
ually gets preformed the very best services
svailmMs.
This Is a typical way of doing business In
America today and Is not limited to producers
of cotton but expands into most business
along main street who practice Cooperative
effort every day.
As manager of the Whitharral Cooperative
Gins 1 know we are ready to preform for you
the best services available and by following
through to the CHI Mill, Compress, Seed Asso-
ciation and the Marketing Association we feel
that we can return to you profits that you
most surely will need. I know we can help
in the cost price squeeze, we know we need
your business and we sincerely believe you
need us. WE ARE READY COME BY.
