With no little trouble, I managed to round up a few WKBO facts yesterday. Today WHP is to go into print if I hang for it. As one woman wrote: "When WKBO and WHP called for boats they came like cats and dogs." And that re for everything else they asked for doctors, nurses, food, elothinf, medical supplies, tooth brushes. During the crisis WHP made 13.000 announcements. Ponder those figures and you'll realise how Inadequate the most extravagant praise can be.

Like Al Smith, Abe laid: "Look at the record." There it was a pile of paper about a foot high some typewritten, others penciled dashed off In the rush of the moment. Since March 1, WHP has been eyeing the river and had a reportorlal staff set up such an efficient staff that out of town newspapers used the station as a source. Ken Thomas of the Morning Telegraph traded news items with them. A microphone was hung from the Walnut street bridge so that the ice break up could be broadcast. It was! They figure a 60 per cent, response to the out of town calls, i.

when people were trying to get word from friends in Wilkes Barre, Williams port, Sunbury, Johnstown, etc. Short wave helped considerably. The National Guard lized by microphone. was mobi The closing of roads and bridges was promptly announced. West Shorers.

tuned to WHP, weren't stranded in Hbg. They had ample warning. West Fairview was without water. The V. of F.

W. post had water in the West Fairview firehouse on a ration basis in three hours. State Police phoned to see "it there's anything we can do about it." The Governor's office was always tuned In. Broadcasting facilities were set up in City Hall, enabling Mayor Hall to talk directly to his people. W.

N. Hall furnished two receiving sets so that City Hall could be brought into the relief program. Governor Earle talked to the Nation from WHP a special hook up. Miss Ceclle Kennedy of the Red Cross was hooked up to fifteen stations. Mrs.

Clyde E. Fisher In Camp Hill needed water. The radio request lent water to the Fisher home. This is one of many instances. Carl C.

Tintsman gave the first eye witness account of the second Johnstown flood. Shreiner and Lee from marooned garages in Cameron street were geared to the WHP microphone, gave an exact picture of conditions. They won't tell me how this was done. Doctors, whose phones were out, were contacted by radio Dr. Raunick and Dr.

Edith Dexter Mc Bride spoke on the water situation, gave first hand warnings. Flood warnings' have been a WHP feature since March 1. The studio staff members averaged twenty hour days. The station was always ready to go Bill Wolf knows that. You'll recall Ken Thomas' phone to microphone broadcasts when the ice was wrecking the lower parts of Dauphin.

Fifteen motorboats came In response to radio requests. (I've only started through this pile of scripts). Newport in a bad way all stores flooded. Two food laden trucks roared in from Coatesvllle. They heard WHP.

Red Cross contributions from hundreds of smaller towns, many of them not hit by the flood. Wire companies could deliver flood area telegrams. Names were radioed and delivery accomplished Low water pressure threatened the transmitter on the West Shore and Bill Wolf sweat blood to keep it going. Games and toys were needed for refugee children. They got 'em.

Eight truck loads of food rolled In from Lebanon plus a J30 check from the V. of F. W. Post there. Three Mennonite women brought thirty bushels of potatoes, asked to see some of the flood victims.

They saw them and said: 'They need the potatoes all right." A Red Cross nurse was Radio got several. needed. Harry Levin was trapped on the second floor of his home, 2405 North Second street. A boat was sent. People were reassured times innumerable on the safety of relatives, often told where they were.

1. Of which woman's magazine was Edward W. Bok the editor? 2. Where was Senator Borah born? 3. Who Is the author of the poem, Why Should the Spirit ol Mortal Be Proud?" 4.

Who was Anton Dvorak? 8. Name the oldest seat of learning in the state of Maine. What is pole raulting? ft (' s. a 'ROUNDABOUT YET DIRECT! Follow this closely. I had to draw a picture to understand it and I'm going to type out the notes.

Pittsburgh needed antityphoid serum A short wave operator picked it up, phoned WHP WHP broadcast the request The serum laboratories at Marietta heard, phoned WHP, which again broadcast that the serum was on the way An up State short wave operator picked up this broadcast called the first short wave operator, who called WHP said that his friends (S. W. 0. No. 2 are you still with us) would contact Rochester, N.

who would contact Washington, who "always talked to Pittsburgh" at 1.30 A. Pittsburgh got the message, flashed the answer to Washington to Rochester to S. W. O. No.

1, who relayed the answer WHP. It's all rather complicated but it worked. A boat capsized in South Harris burg. Three men were holding on to a telephone pole. Radio called for rescue.

Magically a boat arrived. The rowers had heard the broadcast. In South Barrisburg they had their radio sets on the roof tops. A baby was born in Showers street. Radio had the doctor there.

"Eighteen people on the roof tops on an island opposite Duncannon." A highway patrolman's auto radio picked up that message. J. G. At tick, Duncannon, had sent the SOS from the flood area. The patrolman commandeered a motorboat, loaded it on a train for Duncan non.

The people were taken off All very prosaic here but a thrilling rescue. Potatoes came from Pine Grove Outboard motors from Pax tang Oars for one boat were needed. Oars were sent for three boats Drinking water was sent from Carlisle Barracks. State Republican headquarters and Millard B. King loaned nine girls to help in handling the calls The studio staff numbered 23.

The ambulance was dispatched to 1301 South Cameron street for a sick woman The internes found a man dead there. The hearse was called Terror riding the wings of night. Fifteen marooned In a cigar factory, Race and Paxton. Fifteen rescued. "Ask Bobby Gohl," said Abe.

"Children playing too near Paxton creek," a woman phoned. Police heard the radio message, chased 'em home. Water wasters, washing clothes, heard about it on the radio, stopped. Ralph Frey sent his big motorboat from Spring Garden. Montana and other distant states picked up WHP according to tele grams.

They expect to hear from New Zealand. Looters were reported and chased away. Distant cities were put in touch with each other via WHP. Buck Fehr says the station was Lewistown's only link with the outside world. Four stranded in Boyertown Casket Co.

Of all places. Boats got 'em. Three rescued from island off Mid dletown, boats directed thither by radio. And so on all through the event ful days and nights. I'm only about one fourth of the way through the pile and the space is full if not more so.

I again salute on behalf of all the readers of this column the two radio stations which magically knit Harrisburg and its neighbors help' fully together when Tragedy raised its ugly head WHP and WKBO.

Gold assets, $10,177,245,68757. I mends End of Semi Annual System After a careful survey, Dr. Rob ert R.

Abernethy, superintendent of the city schools, late yesterday at a meeting of the School Board submitted a plan to establish annual promotions. Dr. Abernethy's report recommends discontinuance of semiannual promotions as far as possible during the present term so that his plan may be inaugurated in three years. An inquiry sent to nineteen second class school districts by the Lancaster district shows that thirteen of them find annual promotions satisfactory. Superintendent Abernethy said if annual promotions were established here in September, it would take three years to put the system into effective operation.

Change Next Term The first change will take place at the beginning of the next term with the children of the first grade. There will be no other admissions for children who are or will be 6 years of age before January 1 during the term. Pupils of the mid year classes will be assimilated during the first three years by the September classes through retardation or advancement as the individual student needs dictate. The board last night appeared to regard the plan with favor but took no definite action on the plan, which it will reconsider April 3. FLOOD BECOMES REASON FOR TWO PRISON PAROLES Flood reconstruction furnished the argument for two of the three petitions for paroles granted in Dauphin County Court yesterday.

Robert Dintiman, 2005 Penn street, who was sentenced to three months in jail last week on charges of assault and battery, was paroled when it was indicated chat he was needed to assist in making repairs to the Dintiman home in the flooded area.

"Boats Came Like Cats and Dogs," Etc. rrVHERE are two gentlemen in this man's town who do a lot of talk I ing on the radio but try and get 'em to talk about what they did during the flood crisis. I refer to Red Moss of. WKBO and Abe Redmond of WHP, whose "microphonefforts" are still the talk of the town.

The prosecution, though not in testimony, has intimated a view that she killed him in a passion of jealousy. Frequently crying bitterly, Miss Stretz told the "blue ribbon" jury how Gebhardt wooed and won her. When they first met aboard ship on a West Indies cruise, she said, he was attentive to another voyager, Mrs.

Mildred Johnson, a widow, of Richmond, but their own acquaintanceship soon ripened into love. "I loved him madly," she told the jurors. Promised to Wed He told her, she said, he had not lived with his wife in Germany for ten years, and that he promised to get a divorce and marry her. For a time she worked in his Fifth avenue office at $10 a week "just to be near him," she said, although he was called away on occasional business trips. Then, she said, letters filled with words of endearment.

"If you had given me only a child," one of the letters she wrote him said, "I would have been lost in the charming, withal selfish, details of bearing and rearing him." Another of her letters said: "When I think retrospectively of our adventure, I marvel that two after all different individuals could live such utterly intimate lives as we and still love each other."

SKULL FOUND BURIED WITH ELEPHANT TEETH SAID 16,000 YEARS OLD By Associated Press Los Angeles, March 28.

A human skull unearthed by WPA workmen was described today by three anthropologists as that of a man who lived when the world's largest elephants roamed southern California more than 16,000 years ago. The skull, femur and fragments of a human skeleton, were found thirteen feet below the surface, 1100 feet from where the teeth of an imperial elephant of the Pleisto cene epoch were discovered. Drs. A. O.

Bowden, Ivan A. Lopa tin and Thomas Clements, of the University of Southern California, concurred in placing the remains in the ice epoch, in the days of the ground sloth and the saber tooth tiger. "'These bones could not possibly be those of a more recent Western Indian," Dr. Bowden said. The strata lying over these xt mains and those of the imperial elephant were undisturbed.

The great animal became extinct more than 16,000 years ago. TJnquestion' ably the human skeleton dates back that same sage, and may be as much as 50,000 years old."
