Hurricane Ginny May Hit South Carolina Coast
CHARLESTON, S.C. — (UPI) — Gales from hurricane Ginny almost reached to the South Carolina shore today and weather officials warned that hurricane winds from the 95-mile-an-hour center of the storm would probably hit here this afternoon and continue up the coast to North Carolina tonight.
"Ginny is forecast to continue towards the north at about 8 mph probably turning a little more toward the northeast by tonight," the weather bureau said.
The weather bureau warned that tides ranging up to six feet tonight would flood low-lying coastal areas from this historic port city to Cape Fear, N.C., and urged that these areas be evacuated.
"This would result in the center reaching the South Carolina coast this afternoon and then moving along the coast to North Carolina tonight."
The Miami weather bureau said
there were "slight indications" that the season's seventh tropical storm would change its northward course a little to the east during the day and this would keep the hurricane "short way off the coast."
The weather bureau said that since the course of the storm so closely parallels the coastline "a slight change in direction will make considerable differences in the conditions to be experienced in various locations."
It warned residents of this moss-draped coastal section which has been battered by five hurricanes within the past 11 years to prepare for the worst and most people were taking them at their word.
"Residents should take all precautions against the possibility of hurricane force winds beginning near Charleston this afternoon and elsewhere over the area this afternoon or tonight," the weather bureau said.

Top-Seeded Shooter Stuns Allen's Crowd
LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 24—(Special)—Wind gusts of up to nine miles an hour and a possible record shot marked the International Watermelon Seed Spitting Preliminaries here Thursday.
The preliminaries were held at Allen's Drive-In Restaurant, 1404 W. 23rd St., shortly before 10 o'clock. As a record crowd of ten persons watched breathlessly, James Payne, 26, Topeka senior, set an apparent world's record of 39 feet 2 inches.
Payne, manager of Allen's, expects the record to be broken and a new world record for watermelon seed spitting to be set in competition between Kansas University students Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
THE SPECTATORS greeted Payne's shot in amazed silence. "I've never seen anything like it in all my years." said one 17-year-old co-ed. "It left me, well, you know, really breathless with tremendous admiration for anyone who could do something like this. Really!"
Payne's shot, in effect, was a slap in the face to a group of California students who previously claimed the record.
"I read about some shooters out there making it real big at 34 or 35 feet," said Payne. "Every time I read the article I得 tremendous feelings of aggression. I lost the paper in which they were claiming the record, but anyone who can't spit a seed more than 35 feet doesn't have the breath to blow out a candle."
Payne, who has already had his record challenged by more than twenty fraternities, sneered at the challenges and even offered to help anyone interested in entering the competition.
"FREE WATERMELONS will be given to any organized group interested in entering the competition." Payne said. "Allen's Drive-In is backing me 100%. Any group representative may stop by Allen's Drive-In this weekend and pick up a watermelon. We'll explain the rules to him and the group will be able to practice before the contest begins on Monday."
Expecting a large turn-out for the contest. Allen's Drive-In has ordered 100 watermelons to be delivered this Friday.
"We're also going to give free watermelons to all spectators, fans and officials," Payne said. "The contest will be held Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. Anyone who stops by then can watch the contest and enjoy free watermelon on us."
THE CONTEST court. 15 feet wide, has been painted on the driveway in front of Allen's and the rules have been posted in the window.
Allen's will award a travelling trophy to the person spitting a seed the fartherest, or if the winner is a member of an organized living group, the trophy will be awarded in the name of the group.
