La Ciruiulc people who shlvvered
in the wee sum" hours of this
morning, and wondered why their
bed clothing wouldn't keep them
as warm as usual, had plenty of
reason for their actions. Some
time between about 6 and ti o'clock
the official mercury dropped to 20
below zero!
Only one time, according to gov
ernment records, pi nee 1 SSC has
Ja. -Orundo experienced colder
went her. That was in December,
IDlif, when the record of 22 below
was chalked up. However, this
morning's minimum sets u new
record for tho month of January,
and goes on record ns one of the
coldest in the city's history.
Plumbers llusy
Water pipes fro.o up in many
homes and plumbers, already rush;
od to distraction, hud additional
jobs this morning. More men lhau
usual walked to work, leaving their
frozen ears behind them. Police
believe - that the unusually small
numlKT of automobile accidents
this week has been due to so many
of the cars remaining in their gar
age, while their hardier owners
tramped down to the office.
AH roads were open today and
although some of the trains were
running a little behind time, no
real difficulties had been experi
enced. Roth tho slate and city
have kept graders and snowplows
busy clearing snow from the roads,
streets and sidewalks.
.Struct thermometers forecast the
cold early yesterduy afternoon
when they started dropping toward
zero. At 10 o'clock last night they
said four below, and from then on
it was a constant drop until the
red lluuld hit a bottom of 20. Near
by points, outside of the business"
district, reported minimums rang
ing from 22 to 30 below. At 7:30
o'clock, the cold had moderated
slightly, and the reading was IS
below. A clear sky promised a
maximum today of around 13 de
grees above, but the weather man
predicted continued cold for to
night and tomorrow.
Utile Heal Discomfort
Outside of trouble with cars and
water pi pea, the cold -ims brought
little physical discomfort to li
Grande, particularly since the
heavy winds of a couple of days
ago, have forsaken the district.

La Grande Hears
Kins: George In
Talk Over Radio
This early morning. His Majesty,
the king, had in his vast audience
of doubt lews millions,, of people...
pnvcrM hundred neople in La

enthusiastic "listeners in" to tills
cnoch-making event. Rather de
liberate In hi ppee.rh, with little
variation in his voice, but speak
ing very distinctly. King George
thrilled 1111', hearers here by I he
sincerity of his welcome to the
delegation: from the five mari
time power.': and his statement
that he would watch most cure
fully all of their deliberations.
To the average La Grander, who
donned ball! rube and . slippers,
pulled down the window, turned
on the radio, while the N. It, ('.
orchestra in America was plavlnr
"British. Grenadiers." VAjnerlca"
(or 'God Save the King") and alt
four verses of 'The Star SpanTl" 1
Runner," there was a tremendous
thrill when shortly after the un
nouneer sit id "We are now tun
ing In to London. Knghmd," came
this second message: -Our friend?
nrn esked to be patient, in two
in in ill en King George will be
.speaking on the air!" At inter
vals during the period of waiting
for the voice of the king, there
was considerable . noise, which
was variously interpreted as a ter
rible storm at sea, or something
similar. The voice of the an
nouncer, however, calmed nil such
fear.", by stating that the noise was
merely (he confusion in the Utilise
of Lords. The lords were pretty
noisy this morning!
Tho reeeplion was very good
j throughout and each of the speak
