DEATHS REPORTED TODAY
(By The Associated Press')
NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 18—Four hundred persons
who were trapped on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina,
emerged safely from a night of hurricane terror, while
the great storm swept northward along the East coast,
battering the Carolinas and Virginia coast. A nine foot’
tide, driven by terrific winds -swept completely across
the island which lies twenty miles off-shore
Coast Guardsmen said they understood that the in
habitants took shelter in the Ocracoke lighthouse, a sea
beacon since 1798. From elsewhere along the coast
were communications telling of wrecked seaside com
munities which were flooded. Encouraging reports
came from wireless amateurs, saying there was no loss
of life. Nevertheless the fast moving hurricane center
with winds averaging sixty miles per hour was causing
national and local officials utmost concern.
The Red Cross was standing by ready to hurry re
lief into the stricken communities. National Guards
men were reported as acting as rescue workers at some
points. The U. S. Lightship guarding the Chesapeake
Bay entrance went adrift and one Coast Guard Cutter
stood by in the storm battle and asked aid from another
government ship.
Spreading of the hurricane area was demonstrated
by reports from New York when high winds hit the
metropolis early, although the center at that time was
near here, three hundred miles away-_

BOARD IS
FILLED IN
Plans for developing the May
nard Columbus Hospital as a com
munity enterprises takes a big
step forward with the announce
ment by Dr. Thomas Morcom.the

Dr. Morcom reports a most en
thusiastic response from those
with whom he has talked regard

time is ripe for initiating this
program.

purchase of new equipment and
hospital maintenance will be un
!
der the direction of the finance
committee. This committee is
now at work on plans whereby
an opportunity will be given to
all interested groups and indi
viduals to participate in making
the hospital a center of health
education and service. Industrial
concerns throughout the district,
business firms, employed groups,
will all wish to have a part in
insuring adequate care in case of
injury or illness. Be ready when
you are called upon to do your
part.

(By The Associated Press)
CAMBRIDGE Mass., Sept. 18,
—President Roosevelt in an ad
dress here declared; “In this day
of modern witchburning, when
freedom of thoughts has been ex
iled in many lands,” it’s up to
Harvard and Americans to stand
for freedom of the human mind.
Speaking in the vast Harvard
Tercentenary theatre, honoring
the university’s 300th birthday
celebration, he said “Truth is
great and will prevail for cen
! turies, and old sayings are the
! rack of support for persecuted
men but it depends on men’s tol j
erance and devotion to freedom
whether it will prevail through
free research, free discussion,
free intercourse, or only after
suppression and suffering when
some care whether it prevails or
' not.”

LANDON
Si’OKE TO
G.J). P.’s
(By The Associated Press)
TOPEKA Kansas, Sept. 18, —
Republican nominee for president
Alf Landon assailed “Those who
are trying to make youth believe
they have no future under the
American system’’ when he told
the Conference of Young Repub
lican leaders “The Republican
party utterly rejects this philo
sophy, and the question raised by
what powers the government
shall or shall not have, can be
the difference between represent
ative government and organized
authority wielded by one man.’
He declared that the campaign
cuts across party lines, pointing
to “the frontier of new inven
tions”.
He assailed the “reasoning bas
ed upon seven years of hard
times, instead of the one hundred
and fifty years of progress un
der one system.
“The government’s umpire is
enforcing the rules made by the
people. Under the present system
the government itself plays the
game and the people are mere
puppets.”
Temperatures continue mild
and somewhat above the seasonal
average over most of Alaska.
