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..

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.
