Despite heavy rains during the afternoon, rehabilitation was proceeding at a rapid rate in this city yesterday. As proof of the fact that homes were quickly being placed in habitable condition in all parts of Lake Worth, it was reported that the number of homeless at. the Gulf Stream hotel, Florida East Coast freight depot and the Junior high school had been reduced from over 1,000 to approximately 650 persons.

As soon as the fury of the storm had subsided, these three structures, which sheltered hundreds of citizens throughout the duration of the destructive winds, were utilized as refugee centers, and additional hundreds from the Glades sections were also quartered there. The Telephone building, school buildings and fire station were crowded during the worst of the blow, and several injured were treat ed at the latter structure, but were removed to the Gulf Stream hotel after the roof had begun to leak bad ly and the front doors had been blown in, when the wind shifted from the south. Local Red Cross headquarters, in charge of Jack Gorham and Al Gieski, general chairmen, is reported to be taking care of all distress cases, while hundreds are being fed daily at the relief kitchen in the Reanno building and at the Florida hotel, which was thrown open by J. H. Elliott, owner.

I Regarding reports going out of the storm districts to northern press, Mr. Schafer said that the only esti- mates receiving official Red Cross sanction came from Mr. Sclby, as chairman of the, committee here. "I have never seen a man," he said "who made as great an effort to be accurate and strove neither to overestimate nor underestimate. He is sincerely striving to protect this territory from damaging cxaggera-1 tion and yet trying to be equally fair in telling the truth about, the havoc wrought.

I know nothing of rumors that west coast men are I striving to minimize the storm dis- aster for fear that it react on Florida as a whole." Mr. Schafer said he was not asking for additional workers, having about 15 in the district at present. "We are merely supplementing the efforts of the local chapters that are in charge," he said.

QUICK TIRE Same Old IN EVERGLADES AREA Continued from Page One-' epidemic of disease in the immediate area of West Palm Beach as a result of this fearful life loss is the statement of Dr. B. L. Arms of the state board of health, who is in the city.

Bodies of the aead, he points out, should be buried in dry ground, and when this is accomplished all needs of sanitation have been met. Relief workers who have labored in the 'Glades section for days are worn out. They need to be replaced by others, for they have almost reached the limit of human endur-' ance, it was pointed out, In many Instances there are Inadequate sleep.

George F.

Benscl, president of the chamber of commerce, who spent yesterday in the Belle Glade area, describes conditions as beyond the power of visualization. He estimated the life loss at more than 1,000. During the recent months hundreds of workers have been recruited for the farms of the lake area. Workers by scores have been sent into Belle Glade, Pahokee and' to other points along the rim of Florida's great inland sea. No one knows the number of men who have gone into that section to labor, clearing land and putting fields into condition to receive fall crops, "We cannot estimate the number of these workers," Mr.

Benscl declared. "It is possible to check on the known residents of the territory, but there were hundreds of laborers recruited for a few months or weeks work who are not known as to name-and neither are they known as to total number. How many of them escaped is problematical, but it is hardly probable that a large proportion of these strangers same out with their lives than the permanent residents, and' in this ratio I believe the tion of these strangers came out with WHITE DEATHS MOUNT TO MORE THAN SIXTY (Continued from Tage One) Boots, Virgil Boots, Maize Thomas and Berta Thomas, his wife and their children; Mamie Dell Thomas and R.
