Downpours Fall
In Drouth Areas
Of Texas, Okla.
By UNITED PRESS
: The organized prayers of drouth-
’; stricken Texans and Oklahomans
were answered Wednesday with
million-dollar rains.
The downpours were laced with
: winds and storms which were
‘ blamed for at least six deaths In

threatened the northern Midwest <
: with frost and moved in on 90-
degree temperatures in the South- 1
: east.
The townspeople of Lampasas,
Tex , and Hobart, Okla., had or-
ganized “prayers for rain” and
: mass demonstrations of faith that
• rains would come in hopes of end
ing weeks of crop-baking drouth.
Their prayers were answered
• A steady rain began falling at
noon. In Lampasas there was .55
: of an inch by late Tuesday night.
: • At Hobart,'plagued by a three-
: year drouth, upwards of 1,000 per-
ons wore raincoats and carried
umbrellas under cloudless skies 1
last Saturday to demonstrate their
faith that it would rain.
Sure enough, the rains started
Saturday night. Hobart has since
had an inch and a half of rain.
The rains which began in Texas
Sunday have been worth literally
millions of dollars. Wide areas in
the state's central, north, and west-
ern sections received thorough
dousings.
Tornado funnels were sighted
pear Big Spring, Sundown and
Ropesville in Texas, and near Ho-
bart and Cogar in Oklahoma. But
no damage was reported. Another,
unconfirmed, twister was spotted
near Altoona, Pa.
Rains also came to Colorado, but
failed to dampen the sate's worst
drouth areas. Trinidad, Colo., got
more than half an inch of rain, but
it was warm and dry in northern
Colorado and Wyoming.
Meanwhile, the Midwest “cold
wave ' moved slowly south and
east, laying down rains in front of
it. Cooler temperatures were pre-
dicted for the southland, where the
mercury hit 94 at Albany, Ga.,
and 93 at Doltham, Ala., Tuesday
night.
Early Wednesday light rain and
drizzle extended from Pennsylva-
ma southwest along the Ohio Riv-
er Valley into parts of Arkansas.
Missouri, and Texas. Tempera-
tures dropped deep into the 30s in
northern Indiana and lower Michi-
gan.

property where the tornado-
destroyed Dennis Furniture Store
once stood. Earlier, Lacy acquired
the tornado-squashed Joy Theater
and the Texas Seed Store proper-
ty. He now is negotiating for pur-
chase at the land on which Chris’
Cafe once stood.
Waco has been a city at split
personality since the tornado, as
one resident put it. It knows about
the Lacy dream, and it argues
about it
Some businessmen. busy moving
uptown, argue that old downtown
Waco is dead. Some have already
moved. Four buildings remained
boarded up Wednesday, just like
they were the week after the tor-
nado.
The move uptown started before
the tornado, because of growth of
the city, they argue, and the tor-
nado only accelerated the move.
The city’s other leading bank.
First National, located across the
street from the spot at Fifth and
Austin where the center of the tor-
nado funnel did its worst damage,
is on the move. First National is
constructing a tl million building
uptown at Ninth and Washington.
A huge parking lot now is in op-
eration at Fifth and Austin. No
one would guess today if the Lacy
dream eventually would wipe out
the other tornado remains.

Deadly Tornado
Battered Waco
Two Years-Ago
WACO -UP- Ths is the day in
Waco when. two years ago, a dead-
ly black funnel swooped down on
the city that Indian legend said a
tornado would never hit
The toll was 114 dead and MO
mipion property damage.
Plus two /"open cases” — so
classified h the American Red
Cross They"-weren’t in Waco
Wednesday. Both, Mrs. Robert
Russell at Key West, Fla, and Ce-
cil Mangrum of Houston, have re-
turned home — in wheel chairs.
A tornado can wipe out hundreds
of dreams, and it did that in Waco.
But the question Waco argued
Wednesday as it observed an an-
niversary of tragedy was whether
the dream of one man can wipe
out a tornado.
The Wacoan with the dream is
determined to wipe out the gaping
hole left in downtown Waco by the
tornado. He is Walter Lacy. Jr,
president of Citizens National
Bank, one of Waco's two leading
banks.
The bank has acquired that gap-
ing hole.
Just last week, it purchased the
