Wawesburg Weeps Today ForNoRain Came 7hursday

Waynesburg, Pa, July 3o-(UP)- There was gloom amid the sunshine in Waynesburg today. July 29th-- Traditional "rain day" - passed without a single drop of rain. It was the third time in 62 years that tradition was broken. As the hour of midnight rolled around, many citizens stood in the streets. watch es in hand, glancing anxiously at the sky. But July 29th slipped into history without even so much as a light sprinkle.
 Promptly at the stroke of 12, Bly, ron Daily, 50-year-old druggist, recorded in tattered old log book the third rainless day since 1875. It was the first since 1930 the year of the great drought. Daily was one of the greatest sufferers. For years he had won hats from citizens who scoffed at the tradition. He won SO consistently that in recent years he could find no takers. A few min- utes before midnight he talked Louis Rappart. proprietor of a dress shop, into betting him a shirt--"thc best shirt In town" Daily lost.
