stranded motorists by hiring. at
city expense, tow trucks to move
the snow bound vehicles out of

IN action. Within moments after
the storm broke in all it's fury. five
snow plows, three salt trucks. q
bull-dozer and every available citv

city hired second bull-dozer and
additional trucks available right
here at home to join the other

Joe Henry of the Service Depart-

medical supplies, and transporting
doctors and nurses where needed.
Huron Road Hospital had naught
but praise for the city's police de-

Chief Fred Steffen of the Fire

city escaped even a small fire dur
ing the days when fire hydrants
were buried and streets every

to thank those residents who tried
to keep fire hydrants cleared of
snow.

.GI Drives 200
Miles In Storm
To Get Home

There's no place like home".
Even the worst snow storm in
years could not stop Walter E.
Beach from heading from Wash
ington to Cleveland once he got a
90 day furlough. Blazing the trail
in many a mile of unbroken snow
drifted highways, the 22-year old
communication technician, second
class, left the nations capital at
1870 p. m. Sunday and at 2:30
Monday halted at the snowbanked
driveway of his home, 1902 Gar
denview I'd.
Beach with four years in the
service has re-enlisted for another
four year stretch, and the inter-
vening furlough prompted him to
battle the snow and the cold and
the gale to make it 400 miles and
home.
All along the route he was STOP
ped in practically every town he
passed through with the warning
to "Stop here, don't go on" But on
he went, talking his way through
the warnings. He left the turnpike
at Butter, Pa. and followed route
422 into Cleveland. His was the
first car to get through in many
stretches of that long and tough
going.
Surprised but happy to greet
him was Walters mother, Mrs.
Beryl Beach and sister, Christine,
a student who is having a storm
holiday from Kirk Jr. High School.
The CT reports back to Wash
ington at the conclusion of his 20
day furlough with tales to tell for
years to come.
