Withering Heat Wave Continues In Eastern Area By United Press International A long and bitter drought worst of the century in some parts of the country bit deep er into the cast today, sucking streams dry and feeding brittle fields with fire. Weeks of withering heat sent damage estimates soaring into the millions of dollars. Schools closed in Ohio. Farm ers filed for emergency loans. Springs dried up in Vermont, for the first time in 70 years. From Kansas wheatfields to New England forests, the story was the same: No rain. Indian summer on the warpath. Another spell of unseasonable heat seared the East Sunday. Boston, Mass. 85 degrees an all-time record. Washington, D.C. 83 degrees hottest ever for the date. Other Records Set And Baltimore, Columbus, Al bany, Worcester, Roanoke, Al Icntown, New York, Philadel phia, Wilmington, Portland, Windsor Locks: All records. Some rain fell. Louisville got .73 of an inch. A record dry spell of 23 days ended when .02 inch fell at Albany, N.Y. The New York City dry spell went to a record. 24 rainless days. The weather bureau said: "The few sprinkles of rain that fell from Ihe Ozarks to the Ap palachians did little lo relieve Ihe drought situation." And foresters across the drought area sHid it would take 3 inches o( rain and more to ease the llneat of fires. -ST MSB i vrt;Wafi:vlh:;.i',, - 1 1 ' I :...,-, r;.v 'niv, V''i" Smkr "LITTLE GIANT" Model 4308 Equipped with Famoui QueVrtr "Smoktlm" Burnt r.
