One Family's Experience in Storm
Bv Mrs.
All day Friday, the 17th of
February, a steady moaning
wind had been blowing. We all
knew that a storm was brewing
whether here or elsewhere. That
night people retired to their
rest as usual. At 12:20 A.M., C.S.T.
a terrific electrical storm ac¬
companied by hail and tornad-
ic winds struck Scottsboro doing
a lot of damage there. Leaving
Scottsboro in roared up Sand
Mountain striking in the Pond
Creek community and then
across the mountain to Lookout,
on to LaFayette, Ga., and other
neighboring towns.
In the Pond Creek communi¬
ty, three miles southwest of
Flat Rock, was the small home
of the Tom Wright family. Mr.
and Mrs. Wright and their two
small bovs were all sleeping
soundly. The home was directly
in the path of the storm. Out¬
side sat the family car which
was lifted and deposited upside
down in a ditch. Then the house
was picked up and slid several
hundred feet. Some bushes were
in the path of the storm and
as the house hit them it was
turned over on its top. It was
then that the house went all to
pieces. Their belongings were
blown all through the woods
about them and everything was
ruined except some clothing.
It was miraculous that no one
was killed. Most of them had
scratches and bruises but noth¬
ing serious. All day Saturday
sympathizing friends, neighbors
and folks from farther away
went to visit the place. Some
went from curiosity but most
went with the idea to help if
they could.
The Floral Crest S. D. A.
church, about 14 miles away, be¬
came interested. Their Dorcas
Society carried in clothing, dish¬
es, cooking ware and food. Two
men of the church solicited
among the merchants and lum¬
ber dealers of Trenton, Chatta¬
nooga and Mt. Olive, Ala., and
obtained lumber, nails, etc., to
build back a nice comfortable
four room house 24X 30 (the one
that was destroyed was 14X28)
with two nice closets. The pas¬
tor of our church and 8 other
men from here, along with men
of the Pond Creek community,
have been working there—one
day there were 22 men at work.
The house is almost finished.
Metal for the roof is on the
ground ready to be put on and
S. C. Grant of Floral Crest, is
busy making window and door
They report that the
house will be ready to be occu¬
pied this week.
The Wright family, who at
present are living with Mr.
Wright’s parents, are very
thankful to kind neighbors,
friends and others who came to
their assistance in their time
of need.
N. Salem School Notes
(By “Pat” and Norma)
(Written for last week)
The first grade is thrilled at
the thought of their having a
valentine party Tuesday. This
will be their first party this
year..
The other rooms are busy
making valentine boxes and va¬
lentines .
There will be a magician
show Thursday afternoon. Some
parents plan to attend this.
Mrs. Moore’s room had a very
interesting program Friday af¬
ternoon .
The Forest Ranger showed a
film in Fire Prevention last
Thursday. It was enjoyed by all
the grades.
There will be a PTA meeting
tonight, Monday night. The
room that has the most parents
present will get $5.00 to buy
anything they wish for their
classroom.
Betty June Johnson fell and
broke her arm last week. We
hope it will be alright again
real soon.
Janet Everett swallowed a
fish bone one day last week but
suffered no ill effects.
Mrs. Massey’s room received
a new softball today for paper
bands they’d saved.
Mrs. Johnson’s fourth grade
had to write health rhymes in
health class one day last week
and three of them went like
this:
I love to be healthy
I think you do too;
love to be healthy
All the day through.
—Anita McKaig.
I get out of bed in the
morning
I know just what to do;
put on my clean clothing
And eat my breakfast too.
—Martha Johnson
is a happy game,
A happy game to play;
And if you keep on playing it
It will keep us healthy every
day.
—Ernestine Griffin.
Mrs. Grace Gray, one of our
cooks, is back after a long ab¬
sence due to illness. We are very
happy to see her back. Mrs.
Hicks filled her place while she
was away.

interested in their art work
Friday. There are two very ta¬
artists in his room this
