The Far West's worst blizzard of the year trapped more than 200 skiers in mountain lodges today and blocked two trans-continental highways with mounting snow drifts. The storm raged through much of California, swept across the Rocky Mountains, and was still belting parts of Utah and Nevada today. . Meanwhile, fog covered much of the nation's eastern half, cutting visibility to zero in parts of the eastern Great Lakes region. The murky weather was partially blamed for an Illinois plane crash which killed two persons and for at least seven fatal auto crashes in the Chicago region alone. In Utah, heavily drifted roads and a threat of death dealing aval highway. Meanwhile, rescue crews temporarily gave up their fight to reach the Brighton lodge. Elsewhere in the storm-battered area, wind whipped drifts forced the closing of highways 40 and 50 across the Sierra Nevadas. The Feather River route, the only oth. er iast-west highway in the region, was closed to -cars -without chains along a 25-mile stretch. tyrimis Traffic Jam Skiers poured helter-skelter a bn gthese highways as the storm Quemoy Ringed By Red Artillery TAIPEI, Formosa (UP) The Chinese Communisls have ringed Quemoy Island with Soviet-built artillery of the type that shattered the French defenses at Dien Bien Phu, military sources said today. The sources said the artillery can reach every corner of the heavily, defended island outpost with dev astating fire for the first time, the sources said. They called the threat a critical one and pointed out Quemoy's only airstrip had been "immune" to Red guns in the past. Quemoy is Gen. Chiang Kai Shek's largest off-shore island base. It is about four miles from the big port of Amoy which it blocks and at one place is only 2000 yards across open water from a Red-held island. Quemoy, with a peace-time popu lation of 50,000, is roughly seven miles across but in the past the Communists could shell only about half of it with their small artillery. Now they have been equipped with Russian 122 millimeter guns firing from new positions, the mili tary sources said. The island, about 110 miles west of Formosa, is believed to be gar risoned by 40,000 to 50,000 crack troops. The garrison bent off sev eral Communist landing attempts soon after the Nationalists moved their headquarters to Formosa. Chiang summoned members of the Kuomintang (government rul ing party) to a full-dress session Tuesday and it was understood the critical situation in the Formosa Strait would be discussed. The government faced two ma jor problems the Communist men Hce to Quemoy and Matsu and a critical financial situation on For mosa itself, with controls already clamped on some commodities in an clfnrt to halt inflation.

Free Estimates PROFESSIONAL CLEANING SERVICE I'lione 82J "10 Xew)orf Alia that road equipment could not run the risk of trying to clear the anches made it impossible for an estimated 215 skiing enthusiasts to make their way down from four ski lodges high in the Wasatch Mountain range. Danger of Avalanche Three of the lodges, housing 175 of the skiers, were in ' the Altn region. Forty more skiers found refuge in a lodge in the Brighton area, where 30 inches of new snow was reported. Forest Rangers said the aval anche danger was so acute around hit, causing such a traffic jam on a 65 mile stretch of Highway 40 in California that it had to be closed so snow - removing equip ment could get through. In Nevada, meanwhile, the snow was so deep that three ski tourna ments were cancelled because roads were blocked. And in California's Feather Riv er region the Western' Pacific's west-bound Western Zephyr from Chicago was delayed for two and a half hours. The storm did surprisingly little damage in California even though it lashed parts of the state with 65 mile per hour gusts packing driving rain and snow. I'owor Out , Tiie wintry blasts cut off power and lights for a while in the moun tain cities of Downeyville, Grass Valley and Sierra City, and a pow er failure dimmed out television station KOVR in the San Francisco Bay region. Farther south, a 20 minute hail storm lashed Gardena, Calif., and 40 mile per hour winds were clock ed at Camarillo, Calif. It was downright hot at Laredo, Tex., where the mercury hit 90 degrees yesterday. Paducah, Ky., had 73, and Louisville, Ky., 71.

Extra Strong. Over The Phone Ceo. N. Taylor "Ho Is as much ours as he Is yours and we want him to be our guest for a few days." So the woman at the phone told the listener at the other end of the line. It seems that years before, this man whom they were to have as guest, had led the woman and her husband to the Lord and now they would have him in their home for a bit. And what have the years brought in to the lives of these saved people? Let the Bible tell it. "If any man be in Christ, ho is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Be hold, all things have become new." See 2nd Corinthians 5:17. And now after all these years, rhoir livou iirnvA that rhfil.tj lives within them.
