The Camtdun bltiaa'.'d was the worst of the season and had killed at least one person, six oil field workers - were reported stranded without food in an isolated camp, scores of other persons were forced to take refuge, and business came almost to a standstill. The provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba all felt the blizzard's wrath. In Alberta, a school driver was stranded in his bus for 12 hours Just after he had driven 40 children to their hornet. Elsewhere, motorists were strand ed, schools were closed, and chest high drills blocked the highways. The blinding snowstorm was not as severe in this country, but it still whirled to near-blizzard pro portions in North Dakota. The schools at Williston, N. D., were closed after, a 40-degree tem perature drop yesterday. But school officials announced it was all a mistake. Someone sent in a fraudulent report to a radio sta tion during the lunch hour that the schools wouldn't reopen. As k result, 2000 children stayed home. More blowing and drifting snow was predicted for the Dakotas and Minnesota today. Houghton, Mich., reported a seven-inch KK-jwfall in 24 hours and Duluth.

The cold air mass crowded southward from the Canadian bor der, reaching near zero levels in the northern snow area and' stretching rs far south as Northern Texas.
