Rescued From Flooded Home--This woman, who had not eaten in 22 hours, is helped to dry land after being rescued today from her home in Falmouth, where the South Licking River forced many families to evacuate. Four others, including a small girl, were taken from the woman's home as the water began to creep onto the second floor. All went hungry and nearly everything they had, including clothing, was lost. Only the woman's last name, Powell, was learned.
