veloping the eastern half of the

Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama
five inches of snow, which later
turned to rain, fell at Memphis,
Tenn.
In the Buffalo, N. Y, area where
60 inches of snow was piled up
in one OF the states worst biz
yards, the storm abated and work
ers fought to restore normal trans
portation. Trains still were running
as much as six hours late how
ever and schools and most city
offices in the area remained clos
ed.
Weather forecasters said the
fresh snow caused rise in tenn
peratures but that the mercury
would drop again with readings re-
naming some 20 degrees below

Wilmingtonians Fail
To Get Look AT
"Shadow"

An overcast sky denied Whining
tonians, along with most Of the
other eastern and southern resi-
dents Of the United States, what
would have otherwise been a
grandstand seat for the total
eclipse Of the moon last night, but
astronomers issued a rain check
good about three-and a halt years
from now.
The heavy clouds and rain are
due to let up today, according to
Weatherman Paul Hess, and the
temperature to climb back up and
repeat yesterdays high Of As de-
grees sometime during the day.
However it looks like more blan-
kets are in order for tonight as
Hess expects colder weather for
the city.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-R-
The far west had a grandstand
seat for the moons total eclipse
tonight. The weather Man said pre-
linlinsry data indicated clouds OBJ
securing the show for perhaps half
the country.
The heavenly timetable called
for the earth's shadow to edge into
the moons face at 1897 p. m.
Eastern Standard Time, and to de-
part at 11:03. The moon appears a
dull copper color while covered.
It was the first total eclipse seen
in this country since Aug. 26, 1912.
They average three and a half
years apart.
The Weather Bureau said condi-
lions were favorable for the great
er part of upper New York state,
southern New England and some
of Florida to get glimpse of ito
nights phenomenon.
