AN 'BXTEA' HERALD ISSUE
I This Number Gives News and Advertisements Instead of Last Friday-
It was impossible last -week to print
a Herald of tho usual kind, lacking any
';■ power to  run linotypes  or  presses;   a
; Thursday " extra" and a Friday paper
in small single-sheet style were printed
; with hand-set type and man-power job-
\ press, but these had to be limited to
[flood-news  paragraphs  briefly  written.
. Now that power is restored, we  give
our subscribers, readers and advertisers
the benefit of an extra Tuesday edition,
a novelty indeed.   It's not yet in usual
: form—no chance to  get  cuts of flood
| photographs made,for instance—but perhaps  it  will   Serve   a  useful  purpose,
': nevertheless.   So here it is!
AFTER  THE  FLOOD
Relief Agencies,  Quickly Organized,
Caring for Sufferers
Sewickley relief agencies met the
|i flood emergency quickly, effectively, adequately, and Sewickley people helped
[willingly, generously of money, work
■ and time in the many things that had
i;to be attended to. While the waters
[.were still rising, the Union Aid Society
[was helping the lowland sufferers with
;;food and clothing, arranging for sleep-
ling quarters, bedding, cots, placed in
the Glenfield firemen's building, in the
|Leetsdale schools, and other buildings;
I many homes accommodated the homeless by twos, threes or whole families—
lin Haysville no temporary quarters were
(needed, those living on higher ground
i taking care of all the flood victims. In
I some of the Sewickley churches the
i women's guilds prepared nourishing
fsoup in quantities, which Was sent to
[Glenfield (where even with money you
i could not buy food, as the stores were
I flooded) and elsewhere.
On Friday afternoon a meeting of
Ithe representatives of all Sewickley
| organizations whieh could help was
I held under the auspices of the Advisory
I Council, organized a number of years
,:ago as a coordinating agency; Union
I Aid, Board of Trade, Kiwanis, Legion,
|the churches, etc., were represented.
|After a good deal of debate, organization was effected, under leadership of
[Advisory Council. While the Union Aid
lalready had the relief work well going,
I there wero advantages in working
phrough a body which could speak with
^authority as representing all assisting
|agoncies, when appealing to the national
|Bod Cross or State and Federal author-
fities. Also in what is now the most
limportant part of the effort, the appeal
|-or money contributions.
A Scene of Desolation
The receding waters left a scene of
Idesolation, pitiable to sec. In the flood-
led sections, most of the houses showed
|high water marks near the level Of tho
fsecond floor, some higher still. Mud
land slime covered everything, and much
|of the furnituro which it had been ini-
Ipossiblo to move was ruined beyond
Irepair; pianos and electric refrigerators,
(washing machines, etc., wore destroyed
lor rendered useless until an overhauling
tcould bo had. On Sunday, furnituro
land furnishings were being dried out
|on porches or in yards, everywhere.
I *n Glenfield, garages and other small
Ibuildings near Kilbuck Run were over'
purned or displaced, some twisted and
l-rokon badly. Fred McMillon's lumber
fyard suffered tho loss of most of tho
l'Sn„0d lumbGr whioh had floated away,
falthough it is said somo of it can bo
i.recovorea from its lodging-places down
|the nvor. But tho long protecting sheds
Iwere twisted and bont whero supporting
It-tabors had givoii way.

THEM
$
765
¥ at the factory is the lowest list price
ever put on a Buick.
But this $765* buys the most efficient type of
straight-eight engine in the world—the Buick
valve-in-head straight-eight.
This $765* buys the safety of tiptoe hydraulic
brakes combined with the overhead protection
of the solid steel "Turret Top."
This $765* buys Knee-Action, plus weight-
balanced springing, plus freedom from backlash and vibration through torque-tube drive.
This $765* buys acceleration from 10 to 60 in
20.7 seconds, thrifty gas mileage, and a lightness of handling that's the answer to a woman
driver's prayer.
And this $765* buys a car engineered in Buick's
own matchless manner, which means not only
smoothness and steadiness and road-hugging
evenness at every speed—but the sort of tough-
fibred stamina that makes cobwebs grow in
the repair shops!
A car like this at a price like this is news worth
knowing any day in the week—but for the real
surprise let us show you how it figures out in
weekly payments.
The new GMAC 6% Time Payment Plan cuts
the cost of buying a car on time. Why not use
these savings to get the kind of car you've
always wanted? ' , ' .
