STeeS III COlueSl dItdS.
The eastern coastline from Maine
to South Carolina was snowbound
and wind battered by a storm which
the weather bureau predicted would
move out into the Atlantic ocean
early Friday.
Woodrow c. Jacobs. fruit frost
meteorologist. here made his final
forecast of the season Thursday
as he prepared to leave for WASH
ington where he will remain dur
ing summer months.
Conditions in d ca t e d possible
light frost. Jacobs said
Snowfall ranged up TO 20 inches
feet deep in New England; winds
up to 70 miles an hour blew in
North Carolina.
Pittsburgh had l8 inches of snow,
the heaviest in history; New York
eight inches: Washington, three
inches; Rochester nine inches; Bos-
ton, nine inches.
Providence, r. l., was isolated.
Hundreds were marOOned all
night in automobiles, buses and
Wayside houses in New England.
The storm took at least five lives
in Pennsylvania, four in Ohio, four
in New York City, one on Long
Island, three in New Jersey, two
in upstate New York. and 10 in
New England.
Perhaps the worst damage was
in New EnglarIl where coastal
shipping suffered, and five major
fires were reported In snowbound
southern New England alone the
damage was estimated at more
than $l,000,000.
Snowfall ranged from 6 to IA
inches in New England and was
confined mostly to Connecticut.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
In u brief return of cold weather
TO Florida, the northern portion of
the state experienced near-freeZing
temperatures Thursday morning.
Most major weather reporting
stations had readings above freez-
ing and none OF them reported
frost, but it was believed to be
below freezing at number of low
ground places in northern Florida.

THATCHER. Colo. Feb. l5. CUP

never seen an automobile lose a

he had warned his 12-year-old son,
Bruce, that it frequently happened.

up a road at right angles to the
station crossing and saw a truck
speeding toward the tracks. High
banks on either side of the roat
obScured the vision of the three
boys in the truck.
Smoot ran toward the crossing,
waving his arms and shouting. The
three boys shouted back and gaily
waved The truck struck an ice
glazed spot in the road and shot
forward, squarely in front of the
train.
The daZed Smoot walked toward
three bodies tossed far from the

others were Billy Talbot, l6, and
