With Hurricane Audrey's destructive and death-deal­ing visit to the Gulf Coast setting the scene for the 1957 hurricane season, Brook-

i lyn Red Cross Chapter chair­man .Walter A. Giles today urged Brooklynites to help their Red Cross continue to be "prepared to meet, both with funds and volunteer service, any storm - brought contingencies which may oc­cur throughout the United Sta tes this year."

During the last two years, according to Giles, the Red Cross has spent more than S"' i 0OQ 000 in emerpencv and .post-diMSttf assistance and rehabilitation to d i s a s t e r victims. These dis ister ex­penditures have sorelj de­pleted Red Cros.s funds.

Citing a report f-nmi Gen. A l f r e d M. Gruenthet :M-

Bed Cross president,

Giles added that recent and current disasters, such as the tornado which leveled Fargo, N. D., and the hurricane sweeping the G u l f States, will result in added Ameri­can Red Cross expenditures of approximately $4,000,000.

These funds must be re­placed if Red Cross is to be ready to meet the disaster-caused needs of the 1937 hdrricane season, he said.

* * •

GILES added that meteor­ologists have charged a shift of "Hurricane* Alley," that part of the country where hurricane-type disasters are most like to occur from the Florida coastline, to the New York, Long Island and New England coast.

In view of this shift of the probable path1 of future hurricane disasters. >our Red Crtfss must be prepared for

the coming hurricane season with adequate cash reserves. In a disaster situation your Red Cross meets each per­son's p r o b 1 em individually and as a family unit.

"Disaster aid from the federal government applying as it does, to bridges, roads and public utilities, cannot and does not take the place of aid and rehabilitation for the individual and his family in time of great catastro­phe," he said.

* * *

PRESIDENT Eisenhower, at the recent Governor's Cohference in WiUiamsburgt Va., emphasized the differ­ence between governmental and Red Cross aid in disas­ters.

Said the President: "The drive for Red Cross

funds this year did not real­ize its full objective . . . the excuse (for not giving) so

often is . , . 'Why should we donate to the Red Cross? Our taxes through the fed­eral government are now taking care of these disas­ters.' The answer is that in time of disaster the govern­ment steps in only to restore public f a c i 1 i t i e s—roads, bridges, utilities, and other public facilities. Red Cross meets each person's problem as an individual and as a family."

* * *

PRESIDENT Eisenhower continued by saying that "when we are unready as a nation—as a people—to meet personal disaster by our own cheerful giving, I regard this as one of the great real dis­asters that threatens to en­gulf us."

Disaster not only can hap­pen here, in our own back­yard—they will happen here warned Giles,

Pair Thwart Suicide Try

Police say a 22-year-old Wil-liamisburg mother tried to end her life last week after reading a note from her husband in which he said th^t he no longer loveii her and that their mar­riage "was a mistake in the firsfi place."

Their account went this way: O i Thursday, Mrs. Connie

Lucas of 1 Meserole avenue, walked up to the roof of the building, climbed over a parapet and; dropped to a foot-wide ledge.

AS SHE TEETERED, there trying to steel herself for the jump, Peter Catalan©, 40, of 271 Dahill road, spotted her and called Patrolman Albert- Pal-maccio.

The two raced to the roof, grabbed Mrs. Lucas and carried her to her apartment.

On the kitchen table they found a magazine entitled, "How Is Your Marriage Working Out?" Beside it was a note from her husband, telling her that he had read the questions it posed and had come up with the fol-lowihg answer:

* j . *

"I NO LONGER love you. Our marriage was a mistake in the first place."

Mrs, Lucas was removed to St. Catherines Hospital and treated for shock. Police were unable to locate her husband t«
