Breok in Cold Spell Evident

At noon today Waterbury's bitter cold weather of the past few days passed with a rise in temperature to 33 degrees above but only after a slight snowfall mixed with rain had been frozen into a treacherous glaze which threatened danger to pedes- trians and motorists.
 The weatherman predicted a con- tinuance of the freeze through the afternoon followed by clearing and warmer weather tonight. High winds may prevail for awhile.
 The temperature hovered around zero early yesterday morning but rose during the day registering IS above at D. m. yesterday. Temp eratures again dropped last night a few degrees and remained con- stant enough to freeze the light snowfall mixed with rain into the dangerous ic0 coating. Buses were delayed to some extent during the morning but schedules, ct noon, were said to be in order, It was the first snowfall in approximately , weeks.

 Find Buying Difficult
 Shortage Of Meat
 Becoming Alarming
 To Many

Local residents were reminded of those dark war days over the week. end as they found less meat on their tables than they hay e for months due to the nationwide strike of packing houses.
 The supply of meat has notice' ably dwindled on counters through out the city during the past few days, while sea food stores are once again experiencing a stimulus in business.
 Meanwhile, managers of res- taurants, long experienced in methods of meat. stretching, were offering such dishes on their menus as goulashes, stews, and patties.
 Though distributors could not predict just ct what hour the city will find itself completely meatless, one spokesman asserted he felt the meat strike would be settled sooner than other because the wages de- manded were less than in other tn- dustries.
