painfaU March 1945'was
conslderabl larger that lhe
vious year. In January 1944 the to-
tal was :31 of an inch;' in February
1944 it was 1.36 inches. In Janu
ary 1945 a total of 1.63 of an inch
fell and in February it was 1.V2. It
now seems that March will out-

Of further interest is the fact
that January 1945 recorded .50 of

1945 will go beyond that mark.

when a considerable area to the
north of Heppner was visited by a
three-inch snowfall while there was
none in town,
other features of the current
month's weather have included

thunder storms and light hail show
ers. And don't overlook that night
the temperature dropped to 10

told of sub-zero temperatures, but
the only official recording is that
made on the weather observer's
thermometer, which placed the low
mark of the winter at 10 degrees
above zero and that was in March.
UP FROM THE DALLES
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Schwarz and
young son were in Heppner over
the week-end coming from their
home in The Dalles Friday eve
ning. On Saturday Billy's smiling
face was in evidence back of the
meat counter at the Central Mar
ket where he greeted his friends
while he served as his brother Leo
nard's right hand man in the ab
sence of Ture Peterson. The fam
ily returned to The Dalles Sunday
evening and Wednesday Billy re
ported for military service at Fort
Lewis. Mrs. Schwarz and young
Billy will remain in The Dalles for
the present
