'Weaiherfown' Name
Earned in One Year
Fort Scott, Kan. (U.R) Just
call Fort Scott "Weathertown."
In a little over a year
A tornado in May, 1954,
whipped through nearby farm,
lands, smashing barns and kill
ing; livestock.
Same month the Marmaton
River flooded, ruining river bot
tom crops. Some said the town
was the wettest in the country.
Then the drouth set in. By late
June farmers had to haul water
for their stock. By July the mer
cury rose to 120 degrees on suc
cessive days. For five July days,
Fort Scott was the nation's, hot
test town.
In December came snow, 27
inches of it. It was the heaviest
24-hour snow fall in Kansas
weather history. Hellicopters
dropped food to farmers." 7
. Mav arrived a pa in and with
it rain. Just under four inches
fell in foiir hours May HCLater
in the month-50 hours produced
5.70 inches. O
And finally hail. The second
week of June peppered Fort
Scott with the worst hailstorm
in 58 years.
"Maybe I'm a jinx, said mor
tician Jack Stapleton. Out of the
Air Force, where he was a me
teorologist, ' he accepted the
parttime work of reporting Fort
Scott conditions for the U. S
"A tornado, flood, drouth,
heat, snow, rain and hail," said
Stapleton. "What's left for

A touch of autumrH ushered in
September today. .? 1
A fine, cool nightjpirned into
a fair, pleasant dayfjin most of
the nation. .
But in Los Angeles it "was hot,
and it wasn't just the weather,
although that was bad enough.
The mercury soared to 101 de
grees in Los Angeles yesterday
for the city's highest mark in
two years and its hottest Aug.
31 on record.
At the same time, the Los An
geles smog control chief, Smith
Griswold, was making things
hot for city officials.1
He lashed out at police, ' in
dustry and the public in general
for failing to cooperate to put a
stop to the choking, fumes and
haze which engulfed the city.
Winds Finally Com
Gusty winds yesterday final
ly blew the smog that had given
the city four alerts in six days
Tne alerts were sounded 0when
the amount of smog in the air
reached the danger point and
back yard incinerator and open
fire burning had to be banned.
3 Griswold charged that industry-
was doing nothing to check
and replace equipment which
was belching smog into the air.
He accused police of not arrest
ing violators of the no-burning
edict and said 'many citizens
were careless about operating
back " yard incinerators.
Griswold's blast (Jbrought a
promise from the Public Health
Service and the California De
partment of Health to begin Can
appraisal of the oil and power
industries in the area today.
At Sacramento, Gov. Good
win J. Knight said further smog
difficulties might induce him to
declpre a state of emergency.
Major Brush Fires
The sudden heat in Los An
geles county brought extreme
fire hazard conditions.
At least two major brush fires
broke out in the area, in San
Gabriel and the San Fernando
valley, and firemen ' were still
fighting them today. 4
