tho worthy agencies of the organi-
zation — the Boy and Girl Scouts,
Red Cross, Salvation Army, USO
and youth centers in Levelland,
Sundown, Anton, Ropes, and Smy-
er — as those in other areas of
the county.
An effort will also be made to
extend the number of employees
participating in this year's effort—
although their employers may have
contributed.
REX BROWN AND ANSIL O'-
Neal will head up the employee
division, urging every employee in
the city to give a full day’ pay
to the Chest this year. They’re a-
ware that if enough employees
can be made to feel their respon-
sibility for the success of the
Chest, this division can go a long
way toward solving the nagging
deficit problems which in the past
several years have- limited pay-
ments to 80 per cent of the agen-
cy bedget .
The employee division in Level-
land has a goal of $2,500

Calculus 233. Virtually all of these
courses will be kept open until
Monday night, Sept. 25, before a
final decision is made on whether
they will be dropped.
One course of special interest is
the Art for Elementary Teachers
to be offered on Thursday night.
This course is designed to aid the
elementary teacher with methods
that enrich the interest and creat-
ivity of the elementary pupils.
This course is classified as ele-
mentary content by the Texas Ed-
ucation Agency, therefore, to be
used for certification only. Any ap-
proval for transfer credit would
necessarily have to be sanctioned
by the four-year college or uni-
versity involved.
“The evening school at South
Plains College is here to serve
all interests and groups,” Hunt
said. “Levelland is blessed with
the finest Junior College any -
where, and service to the com-
munity is our major endeavor. We
cordially invite you to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to
further your education through
participation in our evening col-
lege.”

FACILITIES TO BE OPEN TO
the public during the day include
the ultra-modern Capitol Elemen-
tary School, the new high school
cafeteria and classroom units, the
new junior high gymnasium and
(Coatinued from page one)
building seawalls and levees ear-
lier.
But the physical destruction was
enormous.
Insurancenten say Carla’s winds
alone did up to $100 million dam-
age. Tides obviously caused vast-
ly greater destruction. The 3100
million loss does not include auto-
mobiles, boats, livestock or crops.
A crop loss of $140 million up has
been officially estimated.
Many of the 500,000 persons who
fled their homes in the nation’s
•greatest exodus from danger will
never see them again.
Others found walls missing, tel-
evision sets ruined, their beds cov-
ered with mud.
The tallest trees in their cities
are down. Streets are cov -
ered with mud and strewn with
debris.
Some towns suffered almost to-
tal destruction.
Buddy Belcher, 31, of Port Ar-
ansas, said, “we had tides 12 feet
high. They carried away a dozen
stores.” That’s almost all the
stores Port Aransas had.
Belcher’s wife stood beside him
with a pistol to repel rattlesnakes
that crawled into debris and dam-
aged homes when the high water
drove them from their dens.
The return home for thousands
ended in sorrow. Everything they
own is gone.
At Port O’Connor, where 950 per-
sons lived, little was left except
rubble and sand.
Roy Young, killed six rattle-
snakes in what was once his home.
“All I have now is my shrimp
boat. I saved it by towing it in-
land,” he said.
Mrs. Frank Jaycox, mother of
six, said, “we have no home, no
clothes and only a few dollars.”
She salvaged a broken sewing
machine, a tom pair of blue jeans
and some muddy socks.
Mrs. C. W. Carroll reached the
verge of tears when she returned
to her Freeport home and saw her
wall-to-wall carpet overlaid with
mud.
“This carpet will never be any
good again,” she said.
Carla’s winds and tides wiped
out the waterfront of Lavaca Bay,
caused heavy damage at Port La-
vaca.
It was the same story all along
the coastline. Heavy damage oc-
curred even inland at such cities
as Beaumont, Houston and Vic-
toria.
Wcrker h»rt
in "in fall
A G. Anderson, 39, an employe*
of Musslewhite Trucking, suffered
a broken right wrist, a 'ractured
left wrist and a crushed vertebra*
in the lower back when the leg
of a bur hopper on which he was
working at a gin north of Level-
land collapsed Friday shortly af-
ter noon.
It was the second serious in-
jury for Anderson within three
years. He also was critically hurt
when he was accidentally pinned
between a truck and a truck
trailer on Dec. 23, 1958 while work-
ing for the same firm.
Anderson is in South Plains
Hospital, where his condition Sat-
urday was said to be satisfactory.
Members of his family said he
would be put in a cast Monday.
He is expected to be hospitalized
about two months.
Anderson, working with E. L.
Flatt, another Musslewhite em
ployee, was on the bur hopper
about 17 feet above the ground
when the accident occurred.
Two tandem trucks with cable
reels were being used to hold up
the hopper while legs were being
welded on. Anderson attempted to
swing down from the hopper when
one of its legs collapsed. He fell
about 10 feet after losing his grip,
landing on his back.
He was carried back to the
Musslewhite yard in a truck, then
taken to the hospital.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)-The
condition of former U.S. Sen. The-

Sept. 8, has slightly improved, his
physician said today.
Sen. Green will be 94 on Oct. 2.

reinforced by strafing and bomb-
ing raids of a Jet fighter from
Tsbofflbe’s tiny air force.
Amid th* struggle a/reld. politi-
cal repercussions arose in two
neighboring nations against the
armed U N. intervention.
U.N. Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold, ready to return to
N*w York from his third and
grimmest visit to Leopoldville,
was refused permission to catch
a plane at Brassaville, the capital
of the former French Congo. He
was notified that the U.N. action
provoked unrest and discontent in
that land north of the Congo River
and the ban was for "reasons of
aecurity.”-
On the south the British-run
Central African Federation ar-
ranged to ship food and medical
supplies to Katanga’s forces. The
prime minister, Sir Roy Welen-
sky, told newsmen “1 don’t really
care if the United Nations likes
that or not.”
Urgent radio messages from
the Kamina control tower were
recorded at Usumbura, in the
neighboring Belgian trust territory
of Ruanda-Urundi.
“Our water and electricity are
cut,” said one. “We had two
straffing and bombing raids by a
Katanga Fouga Magister — a
French-built jet fighter. The plane
said it will be back.”
There was a plea for reinforce-
ments, heavy weapons and other
supplies. The garrison, like other
U.N. detachments in the Congo,
has neither fighter planes nor
antiaircraft guns.
A Katanga force of 500 well-
armed troops and hundreds of
tribesmen maintained the siege of
Jadotville.
Firm figures are lacking on
garrison casualties, but U.N. offi-
cials discounted Katanga claims
that more than one-third of the
Irishmen had been wiped out.
