THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 3, 1929

* Rye Cove, Virginia tornado
* Schoolhouse disaster


The top of the front page has a two column headline: "25 KILLED, HUNDREDS HURT BY TORNADOES IN 8 STATES; 19 DIE IN VIRGINIA SCHOOL" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the tornado outbreak in Virginia and Maryland in which a school in Rye Cove Va was hit directly during class time. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, irregular along the spine, otherwise very nice.
