trailer. Her husband, Owen, was
critically hurt and their three
children injured.
Sheriff Amos Hall erf Broward
County made a tour of the three
communities and called out the
40 men of Company C Florida Na
tional Guard.
“Davie, a town of about 2,000,
looks as though a tornado went
through it,” said Hall. “Substan
tial homes were destroyed and
there isn’t an undamaged house in
the town.”
West Hollywood was hit even
harder. Twenty-five injured were
hospitalized, 500 were homeless,
’ 30 or 40 homes were demolished
and 200 other spartly or wholly
unroofed.
The three communities are in
land from Fortt Lauderdale, re
sort city 24 miles north of Miami.
Miami itself was hard hit. One
estimate of damage in the greater
Miami area alone was as high as
$8,000,000. About 40 persons in
jured there crowded hospital
rooms aftre the wind died down
about 3 a.m.
r Some houses were unroofed and
about 2.000 plate glass windows
were shattered in the Miami area.
Grady Norton, chief storm fore
caster, made preliminary damage
estimated for the south Florida
sectio nof $5,000,000.

always steadfast.
Never was a book written
which does justice to the scope
and breadth of the territory, its
riches, its resources, its expanse
and its future. It is 72 times as
big as New Jersey and more than
twice as large as Texas. In Jun
eau, a league or two from the
largest ice field outside of the
Arctic regions, are more frigid
aires per capita proportion than
any place in the world. Eskimo
children bathe in waters as
warm as Miami’s Gulf stream for
the water is shallow for miles
out from the beach in Kotzebue
Sound and the 2* hours of sun
beats down constantly in summer.
It’s a fact that if Washington
Monument were set up almost
anywhere in Bering Sea, half of
it would show above water. The
mighty Yukon has poured a lot of
silt from the intetrior of Alaska
through its delta which makes
this possible. The weather is some
times 70 below and sometimes 90
above in the interior. Yes, it’s a
great country! j

Your Nat’l Guard,
Barrow Can Be
Proud—
Unification and commun i t-y
spirit have emphatically been
demstrated in the village of Bar
row, the most northern point in
Alaska. A new armory-commun
ity house is being completed as a
result of community, Air Force,
Navy, and National Guard coop
eration.
Company C of the 1st Scout
Battalion, the National Guard
unit, urgently needed an armory
for both drill and storing its mil
itary equipment. The Air Force,
through the cooperation and as
sistance of Brig. Gen. Baker, CO
of Ladd AFB, donated a Cowan
Type hut. This hut, a “large
Quonset,” measuring 40 x 100
feet, was left over from an Air
Force activity in that area. Funds
to purchase lumber for the floor
were furnished by the National
Guard Bureau. Navy personnel in
the area helped immeasurably by
moving 1000 cubic yards of gravel
to the building site for its founda
tion.
During their spare time, mem
bers of the Guard unit donated
their services by working on its
construction. In addition, special
authority was granted to permit
some construction during drill to
insure readiness before winter
might stop further work.
Outstanding interest was shown
by the citizens of Barrow when
they voluntarily levied a 5 c'r sales
tax upon themselves to raise
$3500 for purchasing furniture,
fixtures, and finishing materials
for the interior of their combina
tion armory and community
house.
This is truly a sterling exam
ple of combined efforts—of unifi
cation of the civilian-services
team.
