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.
