Scotland Neck shivered under

few there were who attempted
to navigate the snow clad streets
until the sun had made his bow
for quite awhile.
The reason is not hard to find
and when found all the people
were the colder fro knowing the
truth. The thermometer stood at
three and a half degrees below
zero at daylight this morning
which is that number Of degrees
colder than on Sunday morning
when everyone thought it had
touched the lowest ebb.

country is in the throes Of ths
cold wave which blew in las
night from the capes Of Hatteras
and official figures point to tenn
perature Of from twenty to thirt,
degrees below the seasonal aver
ages. This low temperature ex
tends as far south as Miami
