COLD WAVE
HITS AREA
Mercury Drops To Low
Point Of Winter Here
Wednesday Night

Old man winter frightened his
icy grip on the whole nation
this week, and gave Big Horn
county residents their coolest
night this winter when the
temperature dropped to 38 be-
low zero here Wednesday night.
The cold wave followed an
all-day snow storm Tuesday
that banketed the already
snowy ground. Tuesday night
the thermometer read 26 de-
grees below zero, but climbed
to five below at noon Wednes-
day.
While local residents shivered
around the fire people as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico
received a bit of winter. Ice
floated in the Mississippi river
at Memphis, Tenn, and a 10
inch snow was reported in At
lanta, Georgia.
Winter visitors at the resorts
in Florida were chilled by a
cold wind and rain, while their
neighbors to the north slipped
over snowy roads to which they
were unaccuStOmed.
The weatherman predicted
the cold wave to last for two
or three days in the ROCKY
Mountain region.

Fire Department Is
Called Three Times

Business for the Hardin fire
department took an acute up
swing this week when within
fourteen hours the department
answered three calls.
The first call came at lilo
pm. Tuesday when the red
truck was called to the Stand
ard Oil station, operated by
Kendall Wolcott to eXtlngulsh a
blaze caused by an overheated
stove. The fire was discovered
by Fred Lipp, who phoned Sam
Meeke at the Chuckwagon cafe,
who in turn called the firemen.
Mr.. Lipp stated that it was the
first fire he had ever reported.
He also stated that it took the
firemen exactly four minutes to
reach the scene after the alarm
had been sounded at 11:1O pm.
Wednesday morning the fire
men answered a call to the Big
Horn garage where gasoline
fumes had been ignited and was
burning beneath a car in the
drain pit. The fire was smoth-
cred by employees of the garage
within a few minutes and no
damage was done.
At 1890 pm, Wednesday the
fire truck was summoned to
a house owned by Mrs. New
kirk and occupied by Leo Ri
mer, Safeway employee. Fire
damaged the roof and was be-
lieved to have been caused by
overheating.
Rimer was in Billings receiv-
ing medical attention and knew
nothing of the fire.
