pretty bad. The oar took them away. We saw much of the same thing as we went on into town. Bill was in the infantry in France and Germany during the war. He says he saw nothing in the war as horrible as this.

EDITORS NOTE: Leo Jack of Enid, and a companion Bill Craig of Oklahoma City, were drinking coffee in a cafe on the west outskirts of Woodward when the tornado struck. Here is Jack's account of the storm. Sanduskians who have read and seen pictures about wire recorders will have an opportunity to see one on demonstration Friday and Saturday in the local Sears, Roebuck store, according to James Wilt, manager. The wire recorder is part of a radio phonograph combination which is now being put on the market by Sears. The principle of making recordings on wire was first conceived in 1898 but was not fully developed until World War II by the armed forces.

By means of the Sears combination, blank spools of wire may be put into the machine and hour-long records made by family members or guests, radio programs may be reproduced or other items transcribed. The wire then may be "played back" immediately. NEIGHBORING DEATHS AND FUNERALS URBANA MAN HAS NEW JOB COLUMBUS, April 10 Harry R. Shanks of Uibana, today was named secretary of the Independent Livestock Marketing Association. He formerly was a field representative for the Ohio chamber of commerce.

BY LEO JACK (As told to United Press) First I heard the thunder. Then there was a sound like sort of a "whoosh." I've been in tornadoes before and knew the bound. I ran outside the cafe and saw that it was a twister. The wind was blowing something terrific. I went back into the cafe and said, "Hit the deck." Everybody must have known what I meant.

We all got down on the floor. Then it hit. The wind seemed to last about five minutes. I could hear the building coming down all 'around me. Luckily, none of the wood or stone hit me.

When it was all over, I got up and saw that only three stools at the counter were stand' ing. Everything else was wrecked I helped Bill to his feet and then we went around and helped some women who were trapped under a booth. I heard them screaming and moaning. we went outside to take a look around, I saw that my car was smashed. Another oar was on top of it.

We started down the road into town and saw wrecked houses everywhere. A woman stood in the yard in front of one of the houses. She yelled that her family was trapped in there. It was just a pile of wreckage. We went over and helped her, and got four little girls out from under a pile of furnitue, plaster and lathe.

Then we hailed a car. AH four of the girls seemed to be hurt New Helicopter Like Model T-For All WINDSOR LQCKS, April 10 (UP) The first four- blade intermeshing helicopter made its debut over Bradley Field today, with a prediction by its 27-year-old inventor, Charles H. Kaman. it would do for aviation what the model did to the automotive industry. The three-seater plane said Kaman, is so simply and 'economically designed that once it goes into mass production it will be within reach of the average family pockctbook.

Kaman doesn't expect that to happen within a month, or a year. It may be longer before his helicopter rolls off the assembly line at. a price only a fraction of the present-day ships, he said. Eyewitness Tells Of Beginning Of Disastrous Tornado (Editor's Note: The following is an eyewitness account of the start of the disastrous a s-Oklahoma Panhandle tornado.) CINCINNATI DEAN HONORED CINCINNATI, April 10 of Cincinnati officials have been informed of the election of Dr. George B.

Barbour, dean of UC's college of liberal arts, lo the Royal Geographic Society of Belgium. By W. W. HOLMES (As Told to United Press) WHITE DEER, April 10 thought at first it was an old Texas Panhandle dust storm then I saw the funnel. I was standing in 'my front yard in White Deer and suddenly a black cloud formed outside of town.

It turned in toward White Deer. Suddenly there was a then a rumble. It sounded like a fast freight train as it moved in. I was about three-quarters of a mile from where it hit, and it looked like it was taking a strip 200 yards wide; following the Santa Fe railroad tracks. It hit an oncoming freight trainjg outside of town, and they tell m.i| that 19 cars and two cabooses went off the rails.

I didn't SCJ that because debris was filling the air as far as I could see. The rumbling thing did an awful lot of damage. It finally hit the edge of town. Then it paused for a moment and the funnel lifted in the air. It looked like some giant hand had lifted it up.

The cloud sailed away toward Oklahoma 'and that's the last I saw of it. Names Commission WILLARD, April highlight oj the council meeting was. the appointment by Mayor R. J. Vetter of the building commission for the Willard Municipal Hospital annex.
