Loss of life in the flooded areas, national ofllclals said, was held to a low figure by prompt evacution ot families by Red Cross volunteers, coastguardsmen and army engineers. Two hundred and forty Red Cross chapters went into action in the 24 affected states as the disasters struck. Colin Herrle, acting national administrator of Red Cross relief, esUmaled after a tour of the disaster zones that Louisiana was the hardest hit of the flood states and that various areas in that state would be feeling the effect of the floods and storms for many months. In Concordia parish, for instance, 68 per cent of the land was under water and practically every family was evacuated. It was in this area that hundreds of head of livestock were moved out by barges. Help Rebuild Homes. The Red Cross dispatched building inspectors and relief workers into the flood and tornado zones in March and April and priorities were obtained from the War ProducUon board to assist local chapters in helping sufferers to rebuild their homes and bams. This work continued through June. After a quick survey of the areas in May, department of agriculture agents informed Red Cross that the nations food shortages would not be materially increased by the floods. In the Ohio valley, the flood waters receded in time for the farm' ers to plant, and in the lower Mississippi valley early crops ruined by the floods were replanted. In the Mississippi tributary valleys of Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee the floods delayed but did not prevent spring planting. More beef and vegetables will be available next winter as a result of American Red Cross disaster relief work in the Midwest and lower Mississippi valley. Thousands of head of cattle were evacuated by Red Cross and coast guard workers to high ground in March, April and May. Feed for evacuated refugee livestock was purchased by the Red Cross and the feeding operations undertaken by local chapters. In addition, the Red Cross distributed packages of garden seed to flood sufferers. Less Sickness This Tear. Health problems were kept at a minimum in this years floods.

There is an opportunity awaiting these young women right now, according to Miss Catherine Worthlng-ham- , director of technical education of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. This opportunity has been provided by the coming-of-ag- e of physical therapy, that adjunct to medicine which is bringing strength and vigor to our to victims of infantile paralysis and to injured industrial workers. Women outnumber men in this work 20 to 1 at present. To help answer the acute demand for therapists the National Foundation is offering scholarships to qualified men and women. A fund of $1,267,600 has been set aside for this purpose. The foundation is supported by the March of Dimes contributions. Jobs Waiting for 8,000. At present there are only 2,500 accredited therapists in the country, and more than half of these are now tn army or navy hospitals. At least 5,000 of these specialists could be employed immediately. After the war the need will be even greater. Physical therapy seems made to order for the woman who wants to make a good living, in a recognized Aiinutt Maia-U- i profession, rather than take something that is just another job. In By GABRIELLE this field there need be no fear of insecurity, labor cutbacks, unequal competition with men and there wont be, for some years to come, if ever.
