On Sunday, Jan. 17, the four
Ashby children, a host of relatives
and friends met at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Clark of the

orable weather did not prevent
anyone from going and a very

Evansville, ind., Jan. 23
(UP)—Tent cities sprouted on
hilltops of southern Illinois and
Indiana today to shelter thous-
ands forced from their hopies by
Ohio River valley floods.
Nearly 50,000 persons In Indi-
ana and 25,000 in Illinois were
homeless.
Seven person* were known to
have died. Scores of others were
missing, either marooned on house
tops and in trees or swept to their
death in the muddy currents.
At least a dozen small cities
have been abandoned to the rav-
ages of the worst flood since 1913.
Long lines of refugees filed Out
of another dozen cities which may
be deserted before the Ohio, White
and Wabash rivers and their swol-
len tributaries reach a flood crest
early next week.
Two thousand National Guards-
men, Red Cross workers, and
Coast Guardsmen were on the
scene.
Red Cross headquarters said
they expect to have 77 Coast
Guard boats manned by foifr-man
crews and radio operators avail-
able by Monday.
Torrential rains which first sent
the Ohio, Wabash and White Riv-
ers spilling over banks ceased last
night. Snow and sleet storms
swept the area, and weather of-
ficials said the accompanying cold
weather would help slow the rise

Cold Adds to Terror
The cold added to terrors

faced by water and food short-
ages and threats of epidemics in
the schoolhouses, box cars, ware-
houses and abandoned buildings
?where they found shelter.
The Red Cross provided tents to
shelter 1,000 refugees near Jef-

—A shortage of food, fuel and
clothing today added to the hard-
ships of thousands of flood suffer-
ers in Arkansas, Missouri, Ten-
nessee and Mississippi.
At least ten persons had died
due to the floodwaters In the

death and others were feared to

eral hundred persons marooned in
southeast Missouri add northern
Arkansas. Practically every city
and town In the eastern half of
two large counties west of the St.
Francis river In eastern Arkan-

ing again from another break in
the levee near Senath, Mo. The
levee break will inundate Card-
well with one to three feet of wa-
ter by Tuesday, Charles Mickey,

200 refugees are housed in the
high school.
He said Monette, Ark., 1500
population, would be Inundated by
the fresh levee breaks on the St.
Francis.
25,000 Homeless
More than 25,000 persons had
been driven from their homes. The
Red Cross and Federal relief
agencies were caring for the refu-
gees aided by, local funds.
First death from freezing
ported was Carl Hunt, 30, Eto-
wah, Arkansas. His body was
found in sitting position by a
comrade on the levee.
