HARD WIND AND ELECTRIC
STORM BROKE HOT WAVE
Climax OF Intense Heat Wave Came
Early Saturday Evening

One of the longest and hottest of
hot weather waves to be experienced
in Milford in several years, was
routed early last Saturday evening
when a severe wind and electric
storm swept over this section.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday OF
last week were not only hot but the
humidity was so high that suffering
humanity could hardly find relief
from the intense heat and humid
weather. On Thursday a high of "a
degrees was reached, Friday 95 and
on Saturday "a. While the tempera-
ture has been higher this season, the
humidity has not mounted to the
heights experienced during the three
sweitering days of last week. Relief
came in the form of a heavy wind
and electric storm, accompanied by
a down pour of rain. In some dis
tricts traes were badly damaged by
the wind and corn was blown fiat.
Following the storm the atmosphere
was cleared of the intense humidity
and the air was cooled very mater
tally. Sunday was ideal and a great
relief after the torrid heat Of the
proceeding days. ~-
