Port Huron Area
Gets Red Cross
Emergency Help
Speial To The Daily
By TOM LADENDORF
PORT HURON - Grim, tired men walk the streets of this
tornado-torn city trying to cope with the destruction left in the wake
of a three-minute twister which struck here at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Cots, mobile units of the Red Cross, and administrative help
are being rushed to the area to aid the homeless. Roads are crowded
with silently moving cars. National Guardsmen stand along the
highways directing the steady flow of traffic.
IN THE SOUTH section of Port Huron houes have been levelled.
The streets are littered with trees which lie askew blocking the
movement of cars.
Red Cross workers have set up a center in the heart of the
devastated area in the Naval Reserve Training Center. People,
slightly dazed and in need of G-
help are flocking here. They ask
for candles to light their homes S v n F e
which are without electricity.
Some, the homeless, are being
fed. The cost in life is miraculous-
ly small. One is reported dead
here, thirty-nine injured. Seven-

Auriol consulted steadily yester-
day with familiar figures of
French politics as he sought a

Gov. Williams said yesterday
that the Michigan Bell Tele-

Edison Company had done an
excellent job in restoring serv-
ices but said in general the en-
tire disaster operation showed a
lack of centralized command.
In stark contrast the country-
side is quiet and undisturbed. A
Red Cross nurse perhaps summar-
ized the situation when she said,
"The people have their backs
against the wall. They are turn-
ing to us for help."
