Insurance Put At One Third of Waco Loss
J F Miazza southwest manager of General Adjustment Bureau told 15 000 Texas insurance personnel at a two day convention that only one third of the Waco tornado damage is covered by insurance. He said about seventy adjusters are in Waco and will take thirty days to finish work on the tornado damage. His figure of 20 000 000 for Waco diverges from a 57 000 000 estimate by Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas officials. Army officials have placed the damage at 50 000 000.

Home economics expert Mrs. Eula J. Newman of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service advises that smart use of the home freezer increases value. She suggests sizing freezers by family, estimating six cubic feet per person, with a five person family needing about 30 cubic feet, and notes larger size for substantial homemade food production. If a pie boils over, sprinkle salt on the hot oven to help.

Health Officer warns on bug killer vaporizers in homes
State Health Officer George W. Cox cautions Texans against relying on insecticide vaporizers for home pest control.
