week has established almost enough
firsts to make a Texan proud. So fal
we have the snowiest, second cold
est, second wettest and one of The
windiest Aprils since weather record:
have been kept locally.
= The climax to one of the stranges
| streakS of weather the town has evei
seen came Monday when a mixed-ut
weatherman dumped seven inches oi
snow on the entire area. This is one
inch more than all the snow that
fell during the entire month of April
1910, which was the previous snow
lest April according to Ray Burk
holder. federal weather observer
near Pandora.
Ten Above Tuesday Morning
Burkholder reported the tempera-
ture fell to 10 above zero early Tues
day morning, the coldest April ev.
er recorded here and only one de-
gree above the nine-above April
FOOLS Day in 1923, the coldest April
day of all time at the Pandora wealth
er station. The coldest previous April
g was 20 above zero in 1917.
The snow came only three days
after Riley creek had gone back to
its banks after reaching out to cover
all the lowlands along its course.
There was still muddy water stand
ing in many fields and bitches when
the snow came along to cover every
thing.
Power Failure
Power failures and telephone trou-
bles hit Bluffton and the entire area
in the wake of the Wednesday storm.
BY the time telephone service was
being brought under control, the Fri
day storm pushed things back to
where they were after the Wednes-
day blasts.
All electric power was shut off in
Bluffton for about As minutes We'd
nesday night, but the service wasn't
completely restored until the follow
ing morning in some rural areas.
Telephone manager ROLAND Dodge
Monday night that the most
severe damage was on the Findlay
road lead-in. Practically all telephone
service had been restored by Sunday
night, Dodge said. Long distance
service still is slow because many
other exchanges do not have their
lines completely restored to handle
all calls.

telephone crews throughout the
county but most service had been re-
stored by then.
