" By Associated Press :
Raging rivers continued to spread
death and disaster through the val

,ndefinite reports from the isalated
area indicated that the death toll
might mount above 200.
The mystery’s darkest center hover
ed over Montpelier, Vt., from which
trickled vague reports of loss of lives
varying from 137 to 212 persons. The
bursting of a reservoir was said to
have sent more than ten feet of wa
ter swirling through the city.
A wireless message from the strick
en area to the Associated Press at
Binghampton, N. Y., reported the loss
of 10 lives and among them was said
to be Lieutenant Governor Jackson A
similar message picked up at Hudsor
Mass., however,_me&tioned reports of
‘six loss of lives .-'}‘}';v;iontpelier but
made no mention o 1 any loss of life at
Barre.
The damage to property, according
to early estimates, mounted into stag
gering sums, while in adition, thous
ands of persons were temporarily de
prived of livelihood with the paralysis
of industry. :
While the Green Mountain region
of Vermont and the Berksihre regions
of Massachusetts were the most se

‘How come? With The Cordele Dis

subseription campaigns in this section,
with prizes that include three of the
hest enclosed automobiles with a guar
antee that assures every active partici
pant of at least a cash award amount
ing to 10 percent of the money col
lected, very few persons have as. yet
entered the campaign.
Perhaps it is because the prizes are
so stupendous, the spare-time oppor
tunity so extraordinary that most of
you can hardly believe it. Any way no
matter why, someone, maybe you, is
losing a wonderful opportunity. There
will be an award for every one taking

cash award and the more that take
part the more awards will be made.
Now is the time to cash in on your

easy now, and never during this cam

many votes as they do now in the
First Vote Period.
The pessimist sees only the hole in

HAWTHORNE GREY
NOTE IN DIARY SAID HE HAD
GONE BEYOND 40,000 FEET AND
THUS BROKEN RECOR D
SPARTA, Tenn. November 5--
(AP)-—With a new world’s record
balloon altitude -apparenty in his
possession, Captain Hawthorne ¢,
Grey, army aeronaut, died in the
clouds and his body was recovered
here today from the basket of his
wrecked balloon, - Grey apparently
had died frofm suffocation while in
high altitude. The last entry in his
log related that at 3: 15 o'clock yes
terday afternoon he had ascended
to an altitude of 40,000 feet. 1t this
r mark is proved by check of the seal
ed instrument, army officials said,
i“ would establish the new record, '
| Setting out from Scot Field, Bell;’~
lvine. 1., yesterday Captain- Grey’s
balloon was lost to view and not,hink
was heard of him until today whgi’p
a farmer came here and got @ rgscip’
party and discovered body in @&
hasket of the balloon which lodgo"’
last night in a tree on his farm. -
If his instrument shows that he
was correct in his calculation thaf
he ascended to 40,000 ‘teet.‘olfi.el‘a"l's
were uncertain whether the'rec&f_&
would be established officially They
lpointed out that last May, Grey t{
’cended to 42,470 feet only to have
the record disallowed because he
was forced to descend in'a para
’chute. The balloon carried oxyken
sufficient for two and one half hdui‘é;
There was a parachute in Grey's
,equipment and thig led many to be
lieve that the aeronaut died at the
determination to stick by thé D&l
loon until he could land, in order
that this record might stand. i
Physicians who examined the body
declared that there was on evidenee
of bruises on the body and that
Grey died either from heart trouble
or lack of air. UDzetors believe th.
aeronaut succumbed from lack of
oxygen, as there were no bruises on
his body. The oxygen tanks in the
hasket were not examined as tgo
whether they had frozen - er' proved
