The Red Cross in Memphis dispatched rescue workers to Selmer. The line of tornadoes skipped into Tennessee Sunday 'evening at Memphis after cutting a path of death and destruction in Mississippi.

The National Weather Service at Memphis International Airport first spotted a funnel cloud at Hernando, just south of Memphis, about 6 p. m. (CST). Within a few minutes, it had skipped i ntb Memphis and was two miles west of the airport, but it did not touch ground. Motorists on Interstate 240 saw it pass in a northeasterly direction.

Ray Armstrong, a Civil Defense worker who was helping to look for victims in the debris, said: "We don't know how many are dead, how many are injured or how many may still be under this stuff." Authorities said a Negro section of Inverness was completely flattened and all homes in a four-block white residential area were either destroyed or heavily damaged 'III lui nuisiana was Dlaced under a tornado watcli in early afternoon, but little severe weather developed until the system neared the Mississippi border. The Weather Service in New Orleans said the system which produced the unusual number of twisters contained "a very deep low" pressure system fed by unseasonably warm air boiling in from the Gulf of Mexico. A spokesman said the conditions which set the stage for Sunday's tornadoes were no different in nature from those which often, occur, but were more pronounced.

In the Midwesrand Southwest, a snow storm struck, killing five persons, stranding travelers and cutting power lines. Oklahoma and Kansas were hardest hit. The blizzard was part of a storm stretching from Oklahoma to Indiana. '( 1 -w. INVERNESS, Miss.

,3 glorious Omokoroa Bay. Sunny Tauranga is one of New Zealand's most popular retirement towns. It has a population of about 35,000 and enjoys a warm, summer and a a mild winter. A hot thermal beach-side volcanic spring provides year-round swimming. The Thorntons have "one of the best harbor views in Tauranga." They also have relatively high-and rising-living costs, particularly as the luxury items they brought to New Zealand begin to wear out or require repairs.

They have found that replacement or repair of television refrigerators, deep freezes, radios, electric blankets and similar items is much costlier than in the United States. -80 per cent CUSTOMS FEE5-Stiff import restrictions make a lot of foreign-made luxuries unobtainable. Overseas mail order shopping is usually out of the question because an 80 per cent customs duty is charged on items ordered from the U.S. By mail. New Zealand's customs laws, which present many a problem to American retirees, are their chief aversion.

The first shock for the Thorntons came when they went to pick up! the Datsun car and Dodge Carnpmobile they had shipped ahead from the United States. The Customs officer demanded $2,520 duty on their 1968 eight- months old and bought in the United Ststes for $6,000. It had cost them another $2,200 to ship it to New Zealand. The Carnpmobile sat in Customs storage for seven months while the Thorntons haggled over the unexpected charge. Finally, they settled for $2,264 which included a $200 storage charge and $22 for steam -cleaning the vehicle to protect New Zealand from American "bugs." In vain, they pointed out that it had been steamcleaned twice in the United States before loading for New Zealand.

The exchange rate is a continuing disappointment. Every U.S. dollar they bring in is reduced by 12 cents. Medical care could have been a problem when "Doc" broke his leg and was presented with a $300 hospital bill. He smiled, thugh, when he learned that his Army service gave him reciprocal coverage in New Zealand.

Had he been a civilian retiree, he'd had to pay up. After a year's residence, however, he became eligible for free hospitalization and virtually free medical care. A doctor's visit costs one New Zealand dollar. The Thorntons estimate that any American couple contemplating retirement in New Zealand should count on living costs of $280 to $336 a month after buying their home. Renting a house would raise this budget somewhere between $67 and $112 a month.

DO IT YOURSELF'- Servants are not available, even to those retirees who could afford them. New Zealand is traditionally a "do it yourself" country, where housemaids are as hard to obtain as -Cadillacs. Still, like the few other Americans who have retired In New Zealand, the Thorntons are satisfied, on the whole. After all, Tauranga Harbor is packed with colorful small boats, and some of the world's jji mmmmMW7iJlt mi mi.wf' AN ORDINARY trailer park was turned into a mass of mangled steel and wood, after a tornado went through it in ten minutes. These civil defense workers are looking for any survivors..
