Cold Weather, Winds
Hit Mid-West Again
I BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Winter slammed the weather-groggy midcontinent with a
new flurry of crippling climatic punches Tuesday.
The heaviest snow and sleet and worst cold of the winter
lashed parts of the mid-west. In some sections, the triple assault
threatened to make winter's previous events seem like little more
than a dress rehearsal.
Snow piled up an inch an hour rate in Kansas City, stalling

ing some business houses to
shut down. Kansas City was un
der a seven inch blanket by
noon and another five inches
was forecast.
“This is as bad a storm as we
ever had in this section of the coun
try at any time,” said J. R. Lloyd,
district weather forecaster.
The snow was general through
out the midlands. The sneak storm
dumped deep snow on parts of
southeast Nebraska, northeast
Kansas, northwest Missouri, and
into Oklahoma.
High Winds
Winds of 25 to 35 miles an hour
over the area were expected to whip
the snow into deep drifts.
Blizzard conditions developed in
western and northern Nebraska and
strong north winds blew down
through the Oklahoma Panhandle
and into the Texas Panhandle.
Forecasters said 12 to 15 inches
of snow may cover northwest Mis
souri and northwest Kansas by
Wednesday. A five inch blanket was
predicted for Chicago before the
cold wave moves in.
Meanwhile, a sleet storm, spear
heading a bitter cold wave, spread
a sea of ice from Texas northeast
ward to central Illinois and Indiana.
The new storm hit the midlands just
as the section was recovering from
ct-he worst ice damage to commun
ication lines in years. About two in
ches of ice was on the ground at
Pittsburgh, Kas., with alternate
J?
sleet and freezing rain continuing.
Temperatures Drop
Sleet also snapped communica
tions lines, closed some schools and
slowed road traffic in Illinois.
The weather bureau in Chicago
said the cold wave would send tem
peratures skidding in the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma. Heavy snow is ex
pected to accompany the^hange to
colder weather.
The mercury was expected to dip
to five degrees below zero in Chi
cago by Wednesday night, bringing
the area its first sub zero weather
of the winter.
The cold wave hit in western
Montana Tuesday morning and
spread eastward. The mercury
dropped to 14 degrees below zero at
Butte.
Cold Still Coming
At Minot, N. D., the mercury slid
from 14 degrees at midnight to 13
below at midafternoon. Daytime
sub zero temperatures were general
throughout eastern Montana and
North Dakota.
“The coldest is still moving in
from Central Canada,’’ the weather
man said.
The temperature was expected to
dip to 25 degrees below zero in Min
nesota by Wednesday.
California Hit
The cold weather along the Pacif
ic seaboard continued as a threat to
the California citrus crop.
The mercury dropped below the
freezing point in some parts of the

the lemon yield; 30 to 50 per cent of

Change Rooms for
Russian Ballerina
Because of a conflict in room as
signments, the schedule has been
changed for the January 20 show
ing of the Soviet film, “Russian
Ballerina.” The 3:30 performance
will be in 207 Chapman hall and at
7:30 the film will be run in 101

the movie is a gay, romantic story
against a background of beautiful
music and ballet in the Russian
tradition that produced Pavlova
and Nizhinsky. It features Tsch^i
kowsky’s “Swan Lake Ballet.”
The film has English titles and
runs for an hour and twenty-five
minutes. Tickets will be on sale in

Wild Notes
(Continued from page six)
A tune which we hope the Hit
Parade doesn’t get hold of was
recently issued on Columbia rec
ords by Tony Pastor and group
with a provocative Rosemary
Cluney vocal. Ask for “You Start
ed Something” and you’ll know
what. It should be good listening
for a long time, unless Joe, Mike,
Harry, and Yo-Yo start request*
ing it for their Snooky, etc.

The second scene is three
months later in an Emerald street
trailer.
‘‘You never told me before we
were married that you couldn’t
cook.”
‘‘Well, you knew I was going to
be a career newspaperwoman.
And who heard of a career woman
knowing how to cook?”
“I used to eat a lot better in
the Straub dining room. And
while we’re on the subject, when
I was in India my maid always
had a hot pot of coffee ready at
all hours. She also shined my
shoes, had my clothes ready for
me each morning, and never
talked back. Why can’t you be
like her?”
‘‘You brute! Here I work my
fingers to the bone banging a
nasty old typewriter in the reg
istrar’s office to put you through
college, and you complain that the j
food isn’t as good as that served j
in the Straub dining room.”
“You should have married one
of those girls in New Guinea
you're always talking about—the
ones with rings in their noses.”
“I’m going home to mother!” j
Discovery that there are 14 Reds
