Through Connecticut
New Haven, Conn, Feb 26-UP)
"A fine blizzard type" snow,
driven by gale-like wind, swept
Connecticut to-day, gripping trans
portation facilities in several por-
tions of the state and threatening
recurrence of last weeks bliz-
card.
Weather bureau readings here at
1880 o'clock showed AT inches had
fallen, with drifts at least two feet
high. The wind was cutting and
swirled the fine flakes about in flu.
rious gusts.
In the eastern portion of the
state the storm was especially bad
and residents in many small com
munities again found themselves
snowed-in. In the cities plows
cleared the roads during the night
and conditions were not SO severe
as during last weeks storm.
However, bus service was sus-
pended at several points although
the New Haven to Waterbury
route, under 20 foot drifts at Beth
any for five days, was passable to-
day.

lures. Warmer weather was prom
Used for tomorrow.
New York in Drifts
New York, Feb 26-(UP)- A
driving snowstorm piled huge
drifts in New York city streets to-
day and hampered highway trans
portation.
The storm capped one of the
most severe winters New York has
seen in many years, placed a blan-
ket of snow over streets still icy
from last weeks blizzard. A swift
wind whirled the snow across the
city and distant suburbs.
Although the snowfall by a. m.
was approximately six inches, rail-
road and subway transportation
was not yet seriously affected.
Warned in advance, and profiting
from last weeks experience, trans
portation lines kept emergency
crews at work keeping switches
and signal lights in operating or
der.
The temperature at a. m. was
Fl degrees, a rise of three degrees
from the lowest of the night. The
forecast was continued snow all
day.

bound New England, not fully re-
covered from the paralyzing eff
fects of last Tuesdays blizzard, was
swept by a new storm today.
1t began showing at 8 O'Clock
last night and ~ hours later four
inches of snow had been added to
that which already was knee-deep.
A 24-mile north wind whirled
the snow into drifts in exposed
places, presenting new threats to
transportation.
The weather bureau said the to-
tai fall of the current storm would
be at least six inches, maybe more.

Because Of the increasing

impossible In future TO give as
much space to Individual chur.
ches as heretofore.
In order shnt all churches

PEELED 10 omit much of the

stead Of printing so much Of the

shall print advanced schedules

give the public opportunity to
know ahead Of time what the

and this Will tend TO bring out
"A larger number OF people to

We therefore urge the chur-
ches and their ministers and

This will enable the church
