Take the 800 block of Bel-Aire Road, for example. Ron Marshall had a nice place at 809. It was a gutted shell Wednesday. "We worked our butts off to buy and build the place, and now everything we have is gone," said Marshall. His wife, Kathleen, struggling to hold hack tears, hugged her husband around the waist.

"I've got him, but you wish you had your house, too." The couple was not at home when the storm hit.

The men were working on a job near Runnells, replacing a power line that fell last Friday.

The city's application for entry into the National Flood Insurance Program was approved by the federal office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), effective Wednesday, Assistant City Manager Paul Steinbrenner said. Policies are issued by Employers Mutual Companies of Des Moines, but any licensed insurance agent can accept a flood insurance application, Steinbrenner said. Only in Des Moines In the metropolitan area, only residents of the city of Des Moines may buy the insurance because the other councils either have not applied or their applications have not been approved by HUD. The West Des Moines City Council, however, is expected to consider enrolling in the program at its next meeting on Monday, said Jerry Proudfit, assistant to the West Des Moines city manager. To enroll in the program, the Des Moines City council last month voted to adopt strict land use policies, including flood-zoning laws sharply limit-i construction in "flood-prone" areas.

Such areas are defined as those expected to flood once in 100 years, but the Des Moines area is laced with creeks and rivers that flood about every year. Four-Mile Creek and Fraley's Ditch on the east side and Yea-der Creek that runs across the south side have flooded several times since May. Other recurring flood sources include Walnut Creek to the west, Beaver Creek to the northwest, and the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. Federal flood insurance is designed to cover "general and temporary" inundation of normally dry land areas caused by the overflow of a body of water. It also covers the "unusual INSURANCE Please turn to Page Three Jobless Benefit Boost in Iowa The maximum weekly unemployment insurance payment in Iowa will he raised $5 to $80 effective July 7, the Iowa Employment Security Commission said Wednesday.

City, utility, safety and disaster relief officials struggled Wednesday to supply basic needs and maintain order in Ankeny, the Des Moines suburb of 10,000 which was hardest hit.

Patrol Streets Army National Guardsmen patrolled the streets to deter looting. Highway 69 remained closed to discourage sightseers. Large crews sought to restore gas, electric and telephone service. A nearly complete curfew was imposed in Ankeny at 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Residents of the city who work elsewhere could re-enter only by going to one of two intersections: Oralabor Road and Highway 69. and Ordinance Road and Linden Lane. At (he designated inter-sections, residents were to be met by highway patrolmen who would escort them to their homes. Otherwise, travel in the city was prohibited. In all, Iowa Power and Light Co.

officials estimated that 6,500 of their customers still without power Wednesday eve ning. At one time, about 25,000 customers were without electricity. The power company called out all available men, and hired private contractors in an effort to restore service. Guy Patten, a spokesman for the company, said more than 100 men were at work Wednesday evening and would work through the night. Step-by-Slep Telephone service for parts of Ankeny and Des Moines had not been restored for about 1,500 customers as of Wednesday evening, a spokesman for the phone company said.

Iowa Power officials said some residents of Ankeny would be without power for three to four days, as the power system was rebuilt on a "step by step basis." "People should buy food only for their present needs," said Patten. Food in deep freezers should be sent to cold storage, he said. Gas service in the city was turned off at the request of city officials who feared explosions.

About a dozen stunned parents looked on. One of the parents, Mrs. Duane Kopeckey, said it was not raining but lightning had flashed in the sky once or twice before the field was hit.

Gilreath and Hammer were unconscious but were breathing when the Waukee Fire Department and two units of the Dallas County rescue squad arrived, Waukee Fire Chief Jerry Wright said.

The Fryers escaped from the Lyon County jail sometime between midnight and 8 a.m. Wednesday. They apparently left Rock Rapids in a stolen pickup truck.

They were captured by officers after a chase at speeds of 60 miles an hour through the streets of Gillette, in northeast Wyoming. "They were not armed and did not offer any resistance when they were captured," said Undersheriff Ken Fall of Gil lette. "We had been alerted by Newcastle (Wyo.) police about 45 minutes earlier. They had found the pickup stolen in Iowa abandoned, and another vehicle was stolen in Newcastle.

Bond noted that many barbers who cut hair by appointment charge more than the minimum, and he also said that the union's action does not affect hairstyling, for which prices run from $7.50 to $15. Rates for children's haircuts on Saturdays and days before holidays are the same as adults', Bond explained. He said prices in Davenport, Cedar Rapids and many other major Iowa cities are about the same as in Des Moines. He said prices in smaller communities generally are lower. pital alter a nine-month ill- ness.

"We will hold them in our jail for the officials at Newcastle (Weston County), where they face an auto theft charge," Fall said.
