THE M OF THE HOUR LORAIN SHIP YARDS . . . 13,000 WORKERS WITH NO PLACE TO LIVE . . . STEEL MILLS BELCHING SMOKE . . . MUNITIONS AND SHIPS . . . AND SWEATY LABORERS . . . SHORTAGE OF HOUSES . . . LACK OF SCHOOL FACILITIES TO HANDLE GREATLY INCREASED POPULATION. OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET, D. J. BOONE LEASED THE ONLY AVAIL- ABLE HOUSES FOR HIS NEW TEACHERS WHO WERE YET TO BE HIRED . . . BOUGHT UP FOOD FOR THEIR CELLARS. WAR MAY HAVE BEEN THE BUSINESS OF THE NATION . . . EDUCATING BOYS AND GIRLS WAS THE PUBLIC DUTY OF OUR LATE SUPERINTENDENT. LIKE A GREAT BLACK PLAGUE OF THE MIDDLE AGES FLU CAME DOWN UPON THE WAR FRENZIED CITIZENS LIVING IN CONGESTED QUARTERS IN AND ABOUT LORAIN . . . HOSPITALS WERE SOON OVERCROWDED . . . THE EPIDEMIC SPREAD. THEN A GREAT SAMARITAN CLOSED HIS SCHOOLS AND TURNED HIS HIGH SCHOOL INTO A HOSPITAL. EVERY DAY DURING THE EPIDEMIC 267 DREAD- FULLY SICK PEOPLE WERE LIVING OR DYING WITHIN THE DESKLESS ROOMS AND HALLS OF LORAIN HIGH SCHOOL . . . HIS BOYS AND GIRLS AND THEIR PARENTS. OFF THE LAKE AN OMINOUS CLOUD . . . WIND . . . A CLOUD TAKES THAT PERILOUS SHAPE . . . MOVES SWIFTLY AND THUNDEROUSLY THRU LORAIN . . .CALAMITY, CHAOS, TRAGEDY, RADIO APPEALS. DOCTORS AND NURSES ON THE MOVE . . . THE MILITIA TAKES COMMAND . . . AGAIN THE HUMANITARIAN TURNS HIS LARGEST SCHOOL BUILDING INTO A HOSPITAL . . . A MORGUE AND HE MOVES THRU TRAGEDY AND DESPAIR . . . HIS BOYS AND GIRLS AND THEIR PARENTS. SCHOOL FUNDS AMOUNTING TO 5150,000 IN CLOSED BANKS . . . BUT SCHOOLS MUST KEEP OPEN EVEN IF BANKS DO CLOSE . . . TEACHING MUST CARRY ON . . . IT TAKES A MAN OF GREAT CHARACTER, A MAN WITH GREAT FRIENDSHIP TO BORROW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN A PANIC WITH ONLY HIS WORD FOR COLLATERAL. D. J. BOONE LOVED CHILDREN . . . HE KEPT THE SCHOOLS FUNCTIONING FOR THEM.
