Ice tocK, landslide, refugee relief, shipwreck; tornado and typhoon. The Red Cross took charge at the scenes of 105 domestic disasters of major severity." The report emphasized the marked value of Government-ReJ Cross cooperation when disaster strikes, giving as example the flight of Army bombing planes which dropped Red Cross food to marooned refugees at Renovo.

Order at the MANY HUNTERS HERE McHenry and Lake counties were invaded Sunday morning, Nov. 1, by thousands of hunters in search of the huge flocks of wild ducks, geese and other wild fowl that have made the marshes and lakes region their home during the past few weeks. Hunters report that not in years has game been so plentiful, this being due largely to the rigid federal laws regulating the shooting of the wildfowl. In marsh land just off the Huntley- Algonquin road it was estimated that there were 10,000 ducks and geese and several varieties of geese are often seen. A census, taken by the More Game Birds foundation of New York in an October check-up showing that 48 million fowl remained in their Canadian and Alaskan breeding grounds, showed an increase of fifteen per cent over last year. So many hunters invaded this area that it was difficult to keep off trespassers from marsh land already rented by hunters. Very few accidents were , reported however, Marvin Minalian of Fox Lake having bullets taken from his face and one from his eye, but not impairing the sight. 24-Hour Towing Service FRED SMITH, Prop.
