Auto supply shops did a thriving business in tire chains. The bamboo trees bent to the ground under the weight of snow in Pasa dena. The South Pasadena pos'toffice snow shovel, Washington regula tion issue, got its first workout. Las’^egas, Nev., which slogans "fun in the sun,” measured eight and a half inches of snow on the level. Altadena, a suburb just above Pasadena, had five inches on the ground. Prolonged severe cold, which has frozen over rivers and clogged streams with ice, kept a strangle hold on the Pacific Northwest’s hydro electric water supply. Electricity users in Washington, Oregon, and northern Idaho were cautioned they must use only a minimum of power to maintain a "mar gin of safety” in the electricity supply. The kind of weather that comes in mid-May ranged from the Caro linas to New Orleans. Maximum temperatures were in the high 70's or low 80’s. Several cities recorded record heat for the date. Flowers bloomed and lawns were a lush green. Three days of bright sunshine and warm soft air from the Gulf perked up nature like the breath spring. The Plains states got a respite from the snow but continued to dig out from last week’s blizzards. The 12h Wyoming victim of l^st week’s storm was found frozen to death near Cheyenne, Wyo. Gordon, Neb., town of 2,100 isolated for 10 days by drifts, was get ting relief from a critical food and fuel shortage. The last highway snow barrier into the town was removed Wednesday and tank trucks were on their way out of the city for loads of fuel oil. Food shipments from Omaha will arrive Thursday. The Southwestern Bell Telephone company estimated its lines suffered nearly $2,000,000 damage from sleet in Missouri, Kansas, Okla homa, Arkansas and Texas. The glaze covered most of west Texas and the panhandle. The storm caused two deaths in Texas. Physics Meet ■ Attracts Norris Dr. Will V.

It took mor strength than he had to keep hi disillusioned friend on his feet "Let’s just walk a couple mori blocks,” Hank said, wondering i he’d get the big hulk to his housi before he became drunk smellinj his breath. The last time Bull fell on thi snow, they were within a few yard of his house. One of the fellow; living there helped drag the bod; up to the front porch, both of then steaming faster than a narrow gauged railroad engine before the; dropped him. Hank couldn’t leave without hearing the rest of the story. “How can you get that excited over a dance?” he asked. “The decorations must have been ter rific. Didn't it go over?” To a certain extent, yes,” he yelled. “The women showed up, the food showed up, the orches tra showed up . . . .” Three of his housemates came outside and grabbed hold of Bull in case he became violent. “But it was too dark!
