TOKYO (AP) — The mammoth
killer Typhoon Nancy smashed a
path of death and damage across
populous central Japan Sunday
and raced on toward the northern
island of Hokkaido.
Police said Ihe storm, worst in
the Pacific Ihis year, left 93 dead,
50 missing and more than 1.500
injured.
Hundreds of thousands were
left homeless before the typhoon
finished its lethal work in the
heavily-industrialized island of
Honshu and churned out over the
Sea of Japan.
Property damage was estimated
in the millions of dollars.
With winds that earlier topped
200 m.p h., Nancy churned along
an erratic route, ils path could
take it across northwest Hokkaido
and the 386.000-resident city of j

Dear Editor:

country a rash of drive - in

in eating places, etc.
In fact, man and his car
are getting very hard to sepa
rate, with some people even
being born in cars, others
practically living in them, and
some even dying in them.
