More than 70 donors came to Bismarck Blood Services late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning after the local blood bank sent an emergency call for blood for the tornado vie-Urns. Lab technician Audrey Gartner said Wednesday Blood Services had collected 60 pints of O-negative blood since 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, when the blood bank made its appeal. Type O-negative blood can be administered directly to almost all patients, regardless of their blood type-Mrs.

Gartner said most of the blood collected in the emergency appeal is being held on standby at the blood bank. She also said blood of all types is needed.

We re ucky We Are Alive Says Couple on Path of Winds Mrs. Diechert said she and her 15-year-old daughter were on the stairway to the house basement when the winds hit the farm, leveling two buildings and damaging several others.

The roof was torn off the barn but the house had little damage. "It was just like an explosion, it didn't last a minute," she said. Her husband and two sons were in the attached garage at the time, attempting to hold in a bulging door. None of the family was injured in the storm. Hail which followed the winds heavily damaged their crops, she added.

The Diecherts, who have lived on the farm since 1950, had several buildings destroyed in a similar storm in 1964. Special to the Tribune CARSON The winds lasted less than a minute but the result was a devastating blow to the Nick Diechert farm about seven miles southeast of here. Several buildings were either flattened or damaged as tornado-like winds whipped through several farms in a line south of Carson Tuesday night. "It's a big mess we'll never recover from," said Mrs. Diechert.

"But we're lucky, we're alive." She said what struck her farm probably was not a tornado because no funnel was seen. "We never saw anything, there were just dark clouds to the west," she said. ByDANELLPROUTY Tribune Student Writer Bismarck-Mandan hospitals and the Blood Services went into action Tuesday night to aid victims of the Elgin tornado. Both Bismarck hospitals evoked their disaster plans calling in extra personnel to be on hand for special injuries and additional patients. Seven tornado victims and One dead on arrival were brought in to St.

Alexius Hospital durig the night. Hospital administrator, Richard Tschider, said 51 extra hospital personnel were called in to help. He said the hospital, was notified of the disaster at about shift change time so about 52 hospital employees stayed on too. St. Alexius was notified of extra patients' arrivals by the Elgin Hospital.

No tornado victims arrived after 2 a.m., Tschider said. Jim Swenson, administrator of Bismarck Hospital, said their disaster procedure was set up to a minimal degree Tuesday night since communication with Elgin was poor. Fifteen extra hospital personnel were called, which was adequate for the situation, he said. More were available if needed. Bismarck Hospital repealed the disaster plan at about 2:15 a.m., according to Swenson, when they received word no tornado victims would be sent.

The hospital did not receive any victims during the night. Mandan Hospital did not receive tornado victims but kept in touch with state radio to be prepared. Admlnstra-tor Gerald Heuer, said volunteers and registered nurses were on hand in case Mother (Continued from Page 1 here it was coming. You could see the way it was twirling. It looked horrid." Emil Zimmerman, a cousin to Mrs.

Tietz, watched the tornado from a farm west of New Leipzig. He described the way the tornado yo-yoed as it passed through town. After it descended "it just went up a little bit. Then it came back down and you could see the dirt boiling," he said. "I said to my wife, "They're going to be lucky.

It's going to go up It didn't." Call: DAN SEIFERT Hwy. 83 East of Capitol, Bismarck OFFICE 223-6523 HOME -258-2009 Sf ATI AIM Nubs of the News BIRTHS St. Alexius Hospital Son, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald E.

Hail damaged crops in the area, and winds destroyed a hangar at Stanley, about 28 miles northeast. The rodeo grandstand at Stanley also was demolished, according to the Associated Press, and the south end of the community building sustained heavy damage. Four towns, including Elgin, were without power as a result of the tornado.

Also out were Leith, Heil and Carson. MDU was still investigating the extent of the damage Wednesday morning, and brought another crew in from Lemmon, S.D., to assist. Richard Jacobsen, division manager, said MDUhoped to restore power to Carson by noon Wednesday, and Elgin will have power as soon as the substation has been out and restored. Heil and Leith may be out until Thursday, he said. Bill Shearer, systems engineer for Mor-Gran-Sou power cooperative in Flasher, said "It doesn't look too bad for us right now," but reports aren't complete.

He said quite a few poles were out, but the loop feed system kept outtages to a minimum. John Stewart, marketing vice president of MDU, reported 71 power poles down in the Elgin area. Line crews from Lemmon, Glen Ullin and Bismarck worked through Tuesday night assessing the damage, Stewart said. Eight structures on the major line from Elgin to Carson were down, and Stewart said he hoped service would be restored by mid-afternoon Wednesday. In Elgin itself, Stewart reported 17 to 20 power poles down and expected power to be restored there by late Wednesday afternoon.

A line of poles from Elgin to Heil and Leith had 18 to 20 poles down, and service to that area will be restored sometime Thursday, according to Stewart. A major outtage occurred sometime after 2 a.m. Wednesday as major high-lines across the state were tripped out, Stewart said. Though the highlines did not belong to MDU, service to MDU customers was affected. Stewart said lines from Bismarck to Wishek were without power for 43 minutes, and lines between Bismarck and Hettinger for 20 minutes.

The Bismarck and Mandan Communities experienced only a momentary blinking of power. Cause for the power outage was not known by late Wednesday morning. Stewart guessed the weather as a strong possible cause. $129.00 $129.00 Tornado (Continued from Page 1) to check for unreported damage. A second search through the town was being conducted Wednesday morning, he said, but no persons have been reported missing so far.

The victims at Gary included an Infant, a teen-ager and an elderly man, the Associated Press reported. The tornado ripped through the south part of the small northwestern Minnesota community of 300 about 3 a.m. Wednesday, without warning. It badly damaged homes and trailers, and hit a nursing home. At Carson, the Kenneth Schriock and Walter Huber farms were destroyed, according to Herbert Huber, police chief.

The police chief also said a roof was ripped off the Clinton Zimmerman farm home, with other damage reported at the Henry Diehl and Albert Mattis farms south of Carson. Egg-sized hail- hit Glen Ullin for a few minutes, but no serious damage was reported Wednesday morning, according to Joe Miller, the town's civil defense director. Other funnel sightings included three southwest of Beach, one over Sentinel Butte, another east of Mott and one near Carson, according to the National Weather Service. More sightings were reported seven miles southeast of Flasher, 15 miles southwest of Lannsford, and between Regan and Baldwin. There were also many sightings in the eastern part of the state, the NWS said, including one north of the Grand Forks Air Base.

The storm left only moderate amounts of precipitation, with Devils Lake receiving the most with 1.21 inches. WUliston received 1.08 inches, Bismarck .53, Dickinson .45 and Fargo .29. Partly cloudy skies and the chance of thunderstorms will be the Thursday outlook, according to the NWS. Lows in the upper 50s Wednesday night will be follwed by highs around 80 Thursday. The weekend weather calls for showers and thunderstorms and temperatures in the 80s.

A line of thunderstorms Tuesday morning caused damage in the northwestern part of the state, knocking down trees, an outdoor movie screen and snapping power lines around WUliston. Several roads were reported washed out northwest of Wiliston at Blacktail Dam, where the water level rose five feet overnight.

Vreeland was poking through the rubble, packing what was salavaga-able into his station wagon. He said many of his family's belongings were lost. However, he said, the twister had uncovered a lost checkbook that family members had "torn the house apart" looking for.

Bauer said. Although the house was standing, its wood framing had been pulled apart as the twister tugged the structure from Its foundation. "We can salvage our furniture, which Is more than a lot of people will be able to do," she said. Mrs. Bauer was In the house as the funnel approached: She and her children had moved Inside as the sky darkened, and then headed for their cellar when the town's warning siren sounded.

"I just thank the Lord they have that siren," she said. "If they didn't have that, I'm afraid we would have all been gone."
