In the
ef a windstorm that
uf , Atlantic Coast last
week came reports that small
fclrcMi»s were* rising in Pennsylvania
end Virginia. Soon it became ap
parent that a great crescendo of
river waters was under way—with
the china k much nearer than the
millions of re.’.dents of the East and
Now England expected. First to feel
the fury - f angry flood waters were
the hundred.; ef thousauds of resi
dents of Pittsburg and Johnstown.

the first it was apparent the prop

Fires spread rapidly in the indar.-

In New England the Cocuiecticutt
quickly went on a rampage, break
ing through dams and flooding
luimerous towns. At Washington an
angry Pctonac River threatened
many government buildings and
sandbag dykes were quickly thrown
up for protection. President Roose
velt deferred his Southern fishing
trip. He quickly surveyed the situa
tion and issued a call for $3,000,000
for the American Red Cross.
Meanwhile, the floods moved
mcnacinglv down into West Virginia
and the ^nio Valley. Death tolls
mounted and pestilence, '.'cc-i short
ages and water shortages in the
v/ake of the waters intensified the
terror. It was already apparent that
property damage had mounted into
the tens of millions and that un
counted thousands were homeless.
The Ohio River ran 17 feet deen

was shifted momentarily to that
city. Financial failure faced count

prevent threatened out-bursts of

Then, as the 'flood crests poured

New England and Ohio, heavy rains
and snow added to the misery of
the quarter of a million already
made homeless by the disaster. The

death toll on 13 itates had risen to

neared the $300,000,000 mark and
pointed to a higher figure before
the waters abated. Three inches of
soggy snow fell over devasted wes

relief efforts. Waters of the Con

to create the greatest menace to
life. The Connect!cutt drove Hart

streets. Storm warnings flew' as a

eastward over the Middle Atlantic
States.

Aside from that. President Roose
velt asked Ccngress to appropriate
$1,590,000,000 for work relief during
the next Government year beginning
July 1. ir. a special message he said
I propose that we ask private busi-
less to extend its operations so as to
absorb an increasing number of un
employed. If employment gains are
substantial enough, na additional
appropriation by the next congress
for the fiscal year 1937 will be
necessary.” Income tax collections

reported at $389,694,000, represent
ing and increase of 28 per cent over

A MINT SAUCE THAT IS
MFTEUNT
Lamb and mint sauce have been
served together for many, many
j years—so long, in fact, that some
times there is a desire for something
• different. Inez S. Wilson, home eco
nomist. suggests for such occasions
variation of the usual mint sauce,
a pineapple and mint mixture. It is
excellent with a lamb roast
Roast Leg of Lamb with Pineapple
Mini Sauce
Leg of lamb
Salt and pepper
1-2 cup pineapple syrup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1-4 cup chopped mint leaves
few drops of mint flavoring.
Roast the leg of lamb as usual;
that is. season it with salt and pep
per, place it cut side up on a rack
in an open roasting pan, and allow
it to bake at a temperature of 300
degrees F. until it is done. It
quires thirty to thirty-five minutes
per pound for roasting. An hour
more before serving, combine the
pineapple syrup, vinegar, mint leaves
and about 1-4 teaspoon salt. Allow
this to stand in a warm place and
serve as a sauce with the rost lamb.
