Pittsfield Has Shown Rapid Recovery From 1965 Storm PITTSFIELD (AP) A Civil War Memorial statue of President Garfield stands ramrod straight in rural Pittsfield today, a symbol of communities which have rebuilt after devastation by last year's Palm Sunday tornadoes. April 11, 1965, dawned bright, warm and humid over Ohio. But before the day ended, 57 were dead and millions of dollars of property was damaged as tornadoes peeled communities from the face of the earth. ONLY BASE STANDING In Pittsfield, the highest object left standing was the base of the war memorial, its statue sprawled on its back in the mud below.

The people of the stricken areas were also on their backs: Homes destroyed, loved ones missing or dead, and entire communities shattered. Today, new homes stand on the sites of their predecessors. New hopes are expressed by the people. Most residents of this southern Lorain County community have rebuilt their futures. Determination and community spirit and help from fellow Americans put Pittsfield back on its foundation.

Police reported there were no pickets around the house.

Appearing on a podium backed by a huge red banner bearing the word "huelga" ish for strike-Mrs. Huerta demanded that Brown seek legislation to ease farm union organization in the nation's most populous state. If he does not, she promised, the union will call a "general strike" designed to paralyze crop production in California.

Many of the storm's survivors say a spirit of cooperation and resourcefulness evident from the first hours of the tragedy--has increased. They report a greater feeling of togetherness, a new community bond. Residents of the Bluffton Beaverdam area note a new community attitude a stronger feeling of neighborliness. One survivor of the twisters in that area is Arthur Swank, 74, whose home, barn and out-buildings were crushed. Today, his family lives in a new 60-foot mobile home on the site of their former house.

About 200 yards down the road lives the Carl Marshall family. They live in a new house and this summer will get back in the livestock business. The tornado curtailed Marshall's farming activities, but he is gradually rebuilding again. The Toledo area remembers the night as a bad dream, a nightmare and a terrifying experience. But still the area is marked by new and rebuilt houses and a general feeling that life is continuing as usual.

"People were wonderful we'll never forget them," says one resident of the area, Mrs. Wesley Brooks..
