SNOW BLOCKADE

February broke all weather rec

slowed up, business almost at a
standstill and schools in the county
either closed or their schedules COM
pletely upset.
There was a ten-inch fall II snow
in this section ON the first day of
February and Old Man Winter has
held complete sway since, with some
of the coolest weather ever exper-
fenced here.
The wheels of progress were just
beginning to turn again, aftar hay
ing been dug out from under the
snow of Monday, Feb. 10, when
along comes another heavy enc on
Sunday and Monday, when it is es-
timated between eight and nine
inches of snow fell, which the wind
picked up and swirled about Tues
day, drifting up roads that had just
been dug out and again blocking
things up completely.
The State Roads Commission kept
snow plows on the job and the main
highways were cleared, but byroads,
many of which had not been cleared
of the drifts from last weeks storm,
are still impossible. 49,
Rural mail carriers are getting
mail to patrons along their routes by
traversing fields in many places,
and school buses are able TO reach
but few of the pupils to. transport
them to schools, as most of the roads
i'll rural sections. are blocked with
drifts, i .A qf, ar !,
b AS consequence school schedules
are completely upset, with an at
tendance of about half the pupils
who are enrolled.
Tuesday morning the mercury
touched zero. and some thermome-,
tiers recorded as low as two below.

before during the month, February
took a parting shot on the last day,
Wednesday, the mercury touching
eight degrees below zero that morn

ENTHUSIASTIC RE-
Spouse TO APPEAL
Children's Aid Society Re-
ports Hearty Support
In Campaign

An enthusiastic response to the
appeal of the Children's Aid Society
for funds for needy children is re
sorted by workers in the campaign,
according to Lynn B. Gillespie,
Chairman of Reports. Mr. Giles
pie has asked for detailed reports OF
prograss early this week, and hopes
to be able to announce The amount
obtained so far. Final reports are
to be made Friday, March 2, at
which time it is hoped that the cam
paign goal of $1,000 will nave been
reached.
Although progress of the solicita-
ton in which around zoe Cecil
county citizens are engaged has been
handicapped somewhat by the
weather, campaign leaders are still
hopeful that every possible contrib
utor may be seen by March 2. Re-
ports from the IL district chairmen
show that team captains and work
ers are renewing their activities
early this week, after celng tenn
porarily handicapped by one OF the
worst snow storms experienced this
winter. Solicitation in the rural
districts was especially handicapped.
One gratifying feature of the
campaign so ia. las been the cordial
reception with which the solicitors
have been met on all sides according
to Chairman Wallace Williams. The
organizations throughout the coun-
ty, individuals and the newspapers
have publicly endorsed the effort OF
the Children's Aid Society tc obtain
funds with which to meet the needs
of local children. 1t has been
pointed out frequently that govern
ment relief money is provided only
for the relief of those directly affect
ed by unemployment, and cshnot be
used for the care of neglected,
homeless, or crippled children.
Because of the fact that $1,000 is
the minimum amount required II
the Society is to be able to meet the
needs of the children in immediate
need of attention, every individual
in the county is being asked to con-
tribute. The Importance OF gener-
GUS gifts is being stressed, since one
campaign is being held for the bud
get requirements of the program for
period of fifteen months.
