Wait Till the Clouds Roll BY.
There are scores of globes missing
from the White Way poles in North
Topeka. The globes have been broken
since the extremely cold weather
started. and it is impossible to remove
the broken parts for the reason that
they are frozen on.
. Commissioner Newland says: I'VE
, tried to remove them by thawing the
ice off but by the time one side was
thawed out the other was frozen
again. The lights will have to remain
out until nature relents."
