NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Times
Square early today was filled with
new faces-those of suburbanites
who found themselves stranded in
the city with maybe IS or $40 and
time to kill.
The dime beer bars were catering
to men who usually head straight
home after work. On the sidewalks,
where 25.8 inches of snow fell yes
terday, there was good-natured
roistering. Some pedestrians gal
lantly picked up women who had
fallen in the snowbanks and helped
others across streets.
This late-hour gaiety was cold
comfort to operators of the plush
night clubs, which went begging for
customers last night. The people
who could afford them weren't going
out on such a night; and the
stranded folk from points in New
Jersey, New England, Westchester
County, or Long Island, generally
weren't carrying enough money for
a big evening.
Some Of the larger night clubs
had more entertainers than GUS
toners.
The storm caught even the
weatherman by surprise. 1t moved
in from Atlantic Ocean areas where
the Weather Bureau does not have
observers. At noon the bureau still
was predicting the snow would not
exceed Is inches.
A pair of skiers tried out their
boards on fashionable Madison ave-
nue.. There was skiing in Central
Park, too, and up at Bear Mountain
officials of Palisades Interstate Park
were as joyful about the snow as
local streetcleaners were glum. They
predicted record crowds for winter
sports.
The liner Queen Mary, some of
whose passengers brought their lug
gage to the pier aboard sleds, finally
sailed at 4:25 o'clock this morning
after the storm had delayed her
departure nearly IL hours. A horse
drawn sleigh brought two passengers
from the Savoy Plaza Hotel. An
other passenger went aboard at 10
O'Clock last night after a trip from
North, Arlington, N. j., that began
at HAS am. and included a 7-mile
trek through snow-with luggage.
At one time officials of bus COM
panies reported 1000 vehicles ''lost,
their whereabouts temporarily un-
known.
Rail lines we're not only announc-
ing delayed arrivals" but also "de-
layed departures" from the crowded
terminals.
Many outlying stations were filled
with commuters who found bus serv-
ice between the stations and their
homes suspended. In Long Island
sections of the city, theaters were
kept open to house about 1900 per-
sons overnight.
Two detectives had almost dug
out their Snow-buried car before
discovering it was the wrong car.
I Reporter Walter Arm was unable
to get to the hospital to see his

Debutantes carried party dresses

after they arrived.

BOERGER HERD RECORD
HAS HIGH PRODUCTION

The 8-cow herd of registered
Holstein-Fries owned by l..
E. Boerger, Irwin, has recently
completed a year of production
testing with the average butter
fat production per COW being
more than 2 times as much as
that of the nations average dairy
cow, says the Holstein-Friesian
Association of America.
An average of 404 pounds of
butterfat and l0,787 pounds of
milk has been officially recorded.
Milking was done twice daily.
The highest producer in the
herd was Sylvia Snow Countess
263542, a 3-year-old, which pro-
duced 555 pounds of butterfat and
1928 pounds of milk.
Testing was supervised by Ohio
State university, in cooperation
with the Holstein- Friesian Assoc
iation of America.

CAN'T GAMBLE
WITH CATTLE

Farmers and All club members
who ask L. P. McCann, specialist
in animal husbandry, Ohio State
university, if this is a good year
to gamble on cattle feeding are
told by him that gamblers never
should feed cattle and this year
is no exception to that rule.
Mr.. Mccain declares that cattle
feeding is a business which re-
quireS experience and skill to
make it profitable, and he does
not believe anyone who tries to
pick only good years to feed cattle
will make much money on such
ventures. Ohio farmers who fill
their feedlots every year have the
best profit records.
Every experienced cattle feeder
knows there are financial risks in
volved and that high prices for
feeders increase the financial
stake in the venture. When feed
er cattle cost 500 or more head,
loss of two or three animals from
shipping fever or other causes
takes away all chance of profit un-
less insurance is carried on the
animals.
The University livestock spec
ialist believes good quality light
weight feeders will take some of
the risk out of cattle feeding this
year because a pound of grain can
be put on cheaper than the pound
on the feeder. The cattle should
be given plenty of feed from the
start to get the advantage of nat
ural growth on young cattle.
Some Ohio farmers who consid-
cred II to 18 cents a pound a very
high price for feeders before cell
ingS were removed have paid 20
cents pound since. No one can
tell what price is too high for
feeder cattle this year because no
one knows what the finished cat
tie will bring when sold.

Mr.. Kingsnore said contri-
buttons for the construction of the
Athletic Field amounted in all to
S12,766.97, while expenditures to

ance of $500 is still due the Day
ton Power & Light CO. for its
work in putting up the lights, and

cluding cash balance of S1172.60

Some of the larger Items of ex-
pense in connection with getting
the field ready included S1722.50

seeding the entire field with per-
manent grass, additional drain
tiles, construction of a dressing
room for teams, and construction

In an effort to direct the talents
of veteran traineeS into the suit

facilities have been established to

Originally activated to process
disabled veterans who were en-

At the centerS, veterans are Civ
