Flood Toll Reeled In As Nation Prepares Relief
Fifty years ago the Ohio River flood killed an estimated 428 people and left more than 900000 homeless across eleven states. Damages were placed at about 4 million dollars as Red Cross relief efforts began in Frederick County with a local fund drive raising 119980 to support flood victims. A bingo party at the United Fire Company engine house on South Market Street was organized by Alton Lipps to aid the fund. About 30 Frederick Countians attended Annapolis meetings with Maryland PTA members backing Gov Nice's proposal to restore 1933 pay cuts for public school teachers.
