NATION DIGS OUI
IN IKE OF HEAVY
TURKEYDAY SNOW
Nearly Two Score Fatalities
Shipping and Air Trans
portation Crippled
Many Autoists Marooned
By the Associated Press
Snowplowt and shovel brigade
mopped up In cities and rural com
muni ties across the nation today In
the wake of the worst Thanksgiving
day storm In many years.
Incomplete reports showed nearly
two score storm totalities, with ship
ping and air transportation partially
paralyzed along the Atlantic coast
and elsewhere. Trains and buses ran
behind schedule.
Automobile clubs received thous
ands of calls from drivers needing
help as their cars were marooned In
heavy snowdrifts and Incapacitated
by freezing temperatures.
Traffic Crippled
Breakdowns or delays In air, land
and coastal shipping traffic marred
the holiday by preventing untold
numbers of scheduled family reun
ions. Swift-freezing sleet resulted in
hundreds of highway accidents and
slowed traffic to a snail's pace.
Washington, D. C, recorded seven
Inches of snow In 24 hours more
than fell throughout last winter.
Eight Inches of snow blanketed
metropolitan New York after a freak
thunder and lightning storm, almost
without precedent in cold weather.
Weather bureau officials said It was
the city's worst November snowstorm
In 40 years.
At 3 a. m., the temperature sank
to 17.6 degrees, a new low for the
date. Five fatalities were recorded in
Jew York vicinity, and commuter
trains on the New York Central were
delayed. Flying schedules were un
interrupted today, however.
Thousands Dip Know
The sanitation department mobil
ized a snow army of 17,000 civilian
shovelers In addition to the regular
force of 6.000 sweepers and 4,000
truck drivers.
Weather forecasts on the Atlantic
coast generally called for fair and
continued cold tonight with slowly
rising temperatures over the week
end. Upstate New York counted 11 dead,
with 10 Inches of snow at Rochester,
five each at Buffalo and Syracuse.
Approximately 100 wheat-laden
barges fought their way eastward
through the barge canal, hoping to
reach the open Hudson river before
It freezes over.
Bus Marooned
Twenty passengers on an Albany
New York bus were marooned for
seven hours when the bus struck a
drift near Selkirk, in Albany county.
Owls Head, -he state's "ice box," re
ported zero temperature over night.
In New England, the storm's death
toll mounted to 14 amid a snowfall
ranging from two to 15 inches deep.
The weather bureau sold a disturb
ance of marked intensity was moving
rapidly northeastward from a point
of Cape Cod, Mass.
In Boston harbor, no vessels ar
rived and none sailed, with visibility
at 400 yards.
A 16-hour snowfall mantled New
Jersey with 9 Inches. Hundreds of
motorists abandoned their cars due
to drifts.
Huge drifts delayed motor travel
south of Burlington, Vt., and train
and bus service was three hours be
hind schedule.
The Concord. N. Y., weather bureau
reported a 1 4 - Inch snowf al 1 . the
heaviest storm in a 24-hour period
In November since 1003.
Games Cancelled
The storm cost three Uvea in
Pennsylvania, cancelled high school
and college football games with a
12-lnch fall and brought a warning
from authorities travel was "extreme
ly hazardous."
Snow covered the race track at
Bowie, Md., causing owners to scratch
32 entries In the seven races.
In the New York area, the coast
guard reported 8outh Beach. East
Beach and Flre Wand scenes of dis
aster In tbe recent hurricane on
Long Island were battered by high
seas but no serious damage had been

WEST COAST SOAP CO.. 36th and Poplor, OAKLAND, Col.
Senator Reames said this morning i
that "the death of Laura A. Bradley
in Washington on Thanksgiving day
removed one of Oregon's most noted
pioneer woman. She was born in
Jacksonville, Oregon, in 1857. Her
husband, Jay Bradley, died In 1S93.
leaving Mrs. Bradley to care for and
educate their three children. She
taught school in Jacksonville and
here, and gave each of the children a
university education.
"Otto F. Bradley, a son. Is now In
charge of the Community Budget for
Boston, Mass.; the daughter, Mrs.
Basil Manly, lives In Washington,
D C. Mr. Manly Is chairman of the
federal power commission, and has
been a member of that body since its
organization; her son, Lawson O.
Bradley, lived for many years In
Idaho, but Is again a resident of Med-
ford.
When we arrived In Washington.
Mrs Manly and Mrs. Bradley were
amcng the first to renew old ac
quaintances. We found Mrs. Bradley
Just as bright and keen and full of
life and energy as she bad ever been
"After our return to Med ford, she
made very definite plans to fly here.
and to attend the annual meeting of
the Southern Oregon Pioneer associa
tion at Jacksonville. Juirt before she
was to have taken the plane she
wrote Mrs. Reames expressing the be
lief that she ought not really to un
dertake the long Journey. She ex
pressed great regret at not being able
to attend. She was one of the oldest
living native daughters, and her
presence would have added great in
terest to the occasion.
Up to the very time of her death
she retained pleasant memories of
her associations here, and a real
love for this country and Its tradi
tions. All who knew her and of her
will greatly regret her death."
CHICAGO YARDS
E IDLE
CHICAGO. Nov. 23. (AP) For the
fourth consecutive day. excluding the
Thanksgiving holiday, a strike of
CIO union yard workers tied up Chi
cago's hiuge stock yards. No livestock
quotations were available.
Both sides prepared for a media
tlon conference' with federal concur
ators tomorrow. The union was de
man ding a 40-hour week, overtime
pay, written contract, closed shop
and the check-off. The Union Stock
Yard and Transit company, spokes
men said, particularly opposes the
closed shop and checkoff.
Only 7.000 head of hogs, 3.000 cat
tle and 8.000 sheep were received to
day, nearly all being shipped direct
to packers. The run waa H.ooo less
than a week ago.
The TJ. 8. department of agricul
ture estimated 5.000 hogs would be
received here tomorrow, BOO cattle
and 2,000 sheep.
60 PER CENT OF
TURKEYS SOLD
Close to 60 percent of the turkey
crop of the Rogue River valley was
sold to the Thanksgiving trade and
price prcepects appear better for the
Christmas market, according to
County Agent Robert. O. Fowler.
The price rose two to three cents
locally Wednesday as the demand
grew. There was also a laak of tur
keys in the California markets, par
ticularly Los Angeles. The county
agent believes estimates of the local
turkey crop were high. It was esti
mated as between 38,000 and 40,000
birds the same as last year.
Growers will start fattening their
fowls for the Christmas and New
Years markets at once. Shipping is
expected to start in about two weeks.
