Independence Flood Relief Progress Report and Aftermath
Three and a half months after the Buchanan county floods the Independence relief effort continues. The Red Cross led by Ken Intfield and Disaster Chairman Dr. Robert Henderson has paid out over 50 thousand dollars to aid 111 families, with food, clothing, and repairs funded. Civil Defense, the relief office, and the Ministerial Assn joined the efforts, distributing funds and essentials to hundreds while volunteer workers from the Job Corps assisted with cleanup and temporary shelter.
