Torrential Rains Kill 14 In Mexico TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) Torrential rains caused flooding in hillside slums on the outskirts of this border city Thursday, forcing hun-. dreds of people from their homes.

At least 14 deaths were blamed on the weather. Eleven people were reported drowned, including four children, though some of their bodies remained missing, said Juan M. Ojeda Pico, spokesman for the municipal police department. Two men died after receiving electric shocks from power outlets in their flooded apartments, he said. The death of a baby with bronchitis was blamed on the cold weather.

Dozens were believed injured. Ricardo Ramirez said his parents were swept away and drowned as they tried to cross a flooded street. "I couldn't hold onto my father any longer," Ramirez told KNBC-TVV'I held onto my mother as hard as I could the current was so hard I couldn't hold onto her." More than 600 people were evacuated to shelters because of mudslides, overflow of the Tijuana River and flooding caused by poor drainage anil sewer systems. Some people fled hillside shacks that were washed away by the torrent. Others left' behind houses or apartments filled with several feet ofwater.

Paul Lund, a specialist serving at Fort Campbell, said Thursday he's taken leave to continue the hunt for his '25-year-old never returned after a trip to the grocery store. Even after he returns to duty next week, Lund said he will keep looking for his wife. Police say Mrs. Lund has been spotted frequently in Hopkinsville, but Lund said he's not totally convinced of the police account of his wife's fate.

"In a way you want to believe that's her," Lund said. "In another way, it's hard to believe that she's, so close to Clarksville. It's hard to believe that would happen to her this close to home." Police remain convinced that Mrs. Lund is alive and well and living in Hopkinsville, according to Sgt. Billy Poor.

"We still have her on the active missing persons list and she's active on the computer," Poor said. "We just don't have an active search party out searching for her, but we have, leads. She was seen in -Hopkinsville the week after Christmas by several people. "We feel pretty confident the lady is somewhere by her own choice." Both grandmothers are taking care of the three children at their 1 77 Harrier Court apartment while Lund continues his search. He is passing ouTfliers with his wife's picture and description.

"If you sit around, it seems like you're not doing anything but waiting, and that's hard for the whole, family. We try to keep occupied." Four-year-old Crystal Starr sits on the couch in her father's lap. She interrupts Lund, points at a picture of Susan Lund and says proudly, "That's my mama." Lund said his children are ing up well despite the ordeal. in spite of what the family has been through, Lund said he feels no bitterness toward his wife. "There 're not going to be any questions asked," Lund said.

"If she wants to talk to us about it, she can talk to us. When she comes home, she's going to be hugged and kissed by the whole family." 3 3 COURSE!

DONOHUE: My daughter, 28, is asthmatic.

It runs in our family. She has three cats, and keeps one in her bed. She even takes one in the swimming pool. Cat hairs cling to just about everything, including the pool. Because of my daughter's love for cats, she is not aware of the problems.

What can we do? Worried father. ANSWER: Felinophilic -don't look for that brand-new word in a dictionary asthmatics face tough choices. Quite simply: If your, daughter's asthma worsens when she's home, the answer is to find a new home for her pets. That's the easy out. draconian measures can serve to ward off her attacks.

She PL HISTORY HISTORY OF EUROPE THROUGH 1713 US HISTORY TO AJS HISTORY SINCE 1865 should not let the pets into her bedroom, much less share the bed with one. The cats should be confined to uncarpeted areas and should be cleaned frequently with special allergen-removing soaps. A veterinarian can suggest soap options.

For the asthmatic, it can be devastating. The special bath I mentioned above breaks down the salivary and oil allergens before they escape. The vet can be helpful generally and might have reading material to share. I read recently of an asthmatic pet owner who vacuumed her dog right along with the carpeting.

Cats, sensitive creatures that they are, might not sit still for that. I write this item with a particular asthmatic friend in mind. His doctor insisted the family cat leave the premises. The family voted and the cat won. He stuffed the ballot box on a recount, and -the cat was eventually asked to leave.

My friend's asthmar attacks are history. I've never owned a cat, but the suggestion of a feline enjoying a swim in a pool strains my credulity. Has anyone out there ever heard of such a thing?
