1 'f-f." tremendous hurricane bored through Central South Florida Friday night and pounded toward the Northeastern section of the state. By LUTHER JONES Publisher, Belle Glade Herald Belle Glade, Fla. uP) We have been through a real hurricane, and there isn't anyone in these parts who has any doubts about it. Except for the big government levee around Lake Okeechobee, this would have been a repetition of 1928. In that year a great hurricane blew the water out of the lake and drowned about 1,800 people.

The loss of life wouldn't have been that great this time, because we know more about hurricanes and have more substantial buildings. But I would estimate that the wind caused a 10-foot tide on the South end of Lake Okeechobee, and waves were up probably another five' feet. That would have covered us except for the levee. FOLLOW UNION SESSION HERE United Rubber Workers Calls 17,000 Goodrich Employes To Strike A strike-authorization vote by Local 285, United Rubber, Cork, Linoleum and Plastic Workers of America (CIO) as a move in its current negotiations with the Armstrong Cork Co. originally scheduled for next Wednesday has been advanced to Sunday afternoon.

Announcement of the advance in the date was made Friday evening By Paul S. Shaub, president of the local. Shortly after Shaub's announcement here, the Associated Press reported that the CIO Rubber Workers has ordered 17.000 B. F. Goodrich production workers to strike.

Shaub said that decision to advance the date for the vote was made at a meeting of the union's executive committee last Wednesday night. He gave no reason for advancing the date nor for the delay in announcing the decision of the executive committee. Actual balloting on the strike vote authorization will be preceded, Shaub said, by a meeting of the union membership at the Moose Hall, 220 East King starting at 2 p. m.

Winds probably are stronger near the storm's center, the weather bureau said in a midnight bulletin. Ominous red and black hurricane warning flags remained displayed from Fort Lauderdale to St. Augustine and around Lake Okeechobee, where the wind reached 110 miles an hour.

The home had been constructed on solid ground and several weeks ago workmen, including Markley began to dig out a cellar.
