the seasons 1922 inches of snow
was nowhere near the greatest
accumulation in a single win
ter. In fact, it was only a
paltry seven inches more than
fell in a single 24-hour period
back in 1922 when the Knick-
erbocker Theater disaster oc-
Cured.
Technically, records" were
set by the 17.2-inch February
snow total and by the 1906

But these are just records for
the National Airport station,
which has been operating only
since 1912. Go back to the city
station-with its string of OBJ
servations dating back to 1872
and you'll find monthly totals
twice as great as these.
All over the world there we're
strange happenings. Siberia
had a pretty mild minter-but
before you go blaming our bad
luck on the Russians, reflect
that European Russia and the
East European satellites had
more snow and rain then they
could handle.
Spain and North Africa.
normally arid places, had rains
and floods. Soggy old England
had more than its usual winter
long drizzle. But Caracas, Vene-
zuela, faced imminent thirst
because rains failed to ma
terialize and swell the Andean
rivuletS that furnish water to
the burgeoning capital.
Fresh in everyone's mind here
is the downpour of last week.
But even that was far from a
record. And while the first four
SloShy months of 1858 saw half
again the normal amount of
rain, the ia inches that fell
amounted to only about half of
the 34.6-inch total of the four

AprilS.
Still, people observe unusual
happenings and look for un-
usual causes. Is the sun acting
up? Are the Russians doing
something? Is it hydrogen
bomb testing that is causing
the strange weather?
The answer to all these ques-
tions is no.

tai winter Of 1957-58. With the
brilliance of hindsight, he was
reporting what everyone knew.
Unhappilv, he could not have
forecast the advent of the bad
weather very far in advance
There is no way to forecast
weather AS far as a season
ahead" Weather Bureau Chief
Francis w. Reichelderfer has
said. In addition to not know
ing at long range what is going
70 happen or when. WEATHER
men do not know the answer to
the big question-why.
Costly to Florida
1T wish we could have pre-
dlcted the cold weather with
confidence in September or Oc-
tober." one of DR.. Reichelder-
fer's associates said. "A lot of
people would have saved a lot
of money"
This is a fair statement in
part. The meteorologist had in
mind the tourists who wasted"
a vacation down South. But
what of the heavy damage done
to the citrus crop in central
Florida by six bitter cold snaps?
1t is doubtful that foreknowl-
edge of the frosty weather
growers to take effective coun-
would have enabled citrus
termeaSureS. When the cold
came, they were as prepared as
thev could have been.
The money that was lost in
Florida a few months ago is
being repaid by housewives to-
day. A SiX-ounce can of frozen
orange iuice imported" 1000
miles from Florida cost 90
cents in Washington super
markets last week. A six-ounce
can of frozen pineapple juice
imported from five times as
far away - Hawaii - cost 1919
cents. The winters toll of the
citrus crop is directly to blame
Departures From Normal
Just how strange a winter it
was can be guaged by what the
Weather Bureau calls "depar-
ture of average temperature
from normal"
For a day to be, say, 10 de-
grees above or below the normal
is nothing remarkable. 1t hap
pens, you might say, almost
every day. For weekly average
temperatures to depart from
normal by 6 degrees is out of
the ordinary, but nothing to
get excited about. But for a
monthly average to be as much
as four degrees out of phase
with the normal is a major
topic of conversation among
weathermen.
Last January the monthly
average in the Orlando-Lake-
land fla citrus area was a
bone-chilling 8 degrees below
normal. And in the icebox of
the United States-Havre-Gl
gow-MileS City, Billings, Mont.
the average was a shocking
IL to IA degrees above the
normal.
Few RecOrdsc TOppled
If these dislocations had
been the other way around,
the horn of plenty would have
been full to overflowing this
spring. Orange juice would
nave Deen cneap ana plentlful.
So would vegetables of all
kinds, and the lowered mortal
ity rate of Florida range beef
cattle probably would have
been reflected in more moder-
ate meat prices.
The people in Miles City.
Mont. wouldn't have been
troubled much. When you take
eight degrees away from norm
al at Orlando you cause havoc,
but when you add IA degrees
to normal at Miles City it's
still too cold to do anything
but shiver.

To Capture NWC Crown
BIuftOn Posts 81 League Record
To Win Championship In First Season

| Carman wherever he went During
the three and a half quarters he
played Reichenbach limited Carman
to five points, but the Harrod hooker
added four more when Reichenbach
went to the bench with foul trouble
Carman had been averaging 20 points
per game.
Harrod took a Sd lead before the
Pirates caught fire. Jerry Kohl
dumped in an unguarded layup and
Ramon Lewis pumped in six con-
secutive points, as Bluffton jumped
to los margin.
AS the Wildcat defenders con-
verged on Lewis the scoring burden
was shifted to Diller, who hit the next
seven Bluffton points and the Pirates
closed the quarter on the healthy end
of 17-9 mark.
Reichenbach and Lewis carried the
load during the second period, al
though the Wildcats cut a PAIL gap
to 1928 by the end of the half.
Whatever chance the Wildcats may
have had went up in smoke during
the third period, when the sticky Pi-
rate defense held them to only five
points. In one stretch the flustered
Carman missed four of five consec-
utive free throws, when these were
the only chances the Wildcats had to
remain in the game.
Bluffton extended their 1928 third
quarter lead to 47-28 before the Wild
cats finally excited their fans with
23-point last quarter. They actual
ly cut the mark to 5446 before Bluff
ton settled down and re-established
control.
Bluffton's clear superiority on the
backboards marked the turning point
of the game, as their three big men
took charge of practically ali the free
balls at both ends of the court. Diller
and Lewis swept practically every
thing off the Bluffton boards, conver-
ting wild shots into easy tip-ins.
Reichenbach joined them on the de-
fensive boards, almost completely
freezing the Wildcats out of that i'm
portant second shot.
A cold night at the free throw line
hurt the Wildcats, as they connected
only IL of % free throw attempts. In
contrast Bluffton scored on Is of 10
tries from the charity stripe. The Pi-
rates did not miss a free toss until
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1958-01-30

Lewis failed to- connect in the last
minute of the third period.
Only four fouls were called on
Bluffton and three on Harrod during
the first half but foul-stained second
half saw IL more called on the Pi-
rates and 10 on the Wildcats. The
game was marred when Bluffton
guard Bob Logan was elected in the
fourth period when the referee charg-
ed him with committing an inten-
| tional foul.
The Wildcats played the entire
game without substitution. Their
wen-balanced attack showed Binkley
and Hadley with IL points each and
Carman, Vern Fricke and Bob Brad.
ley with nine each.
Reichenbach scored nine for Bluff
ton, while Jim BURY had four and
Kohl and Logan, two each.
In the reserve game Harrod' S
junior-dominated squad ran away
away from Bluffton for a 52-33 win.
Buck Schiffke led the Pirates with
seven. Helping out were Ken Logan,
with six; Mike Diller, five; Larry
Mumma, Don Deerhake and Jan
Emmert, four; Dave Bash, two and
Darrell Huber, one.

Powerful (Perhaps) Alumni
Challenge Smooth Pirates

Youth may or may not have its
chance next Tuesday evening when
The Bluffton Pirates meet alumni
stars from previous years in a chal-
lenge match in the high school GYM
nasium.
The Pirates AL record will be
tested to see whether this high-sound-
ing mark has earned them a position
among Bluffton's strongest basketball
teams of all-time. Their present re-
cord has assured them of the best
record a Bluffton team has had since
the 194647 club roared to an 1871
record
Facing them will be Pirate stars
drawn from teams of the past eight
or ten years, with some possibility of
material from the last Bluffton state
tournament five of 1912.

Beavers Point For
Upset OF Findlay,
Heidelberg Rematch

The Bluffton Beavers swing into the
last half of their basketball season
Saturday night, meeting the rough
Findlay Oilers on the Findlay court.
Next Wednesday evening the Bea-
vers play their first home game in
nearly three weeks, entertaining the
Heidelberg Student Princes in a re-
match of the seasons opener won by
the Beavers 70-65.
Findlay is presently running second
to unbeaten Wilmington with a 81
record in the Mid-Ohio league. The
Oilers have 90 record for the entire
season. Fourth place Bluffton is 2-3
in league play and 5-5 overall.
Findlay's scoring punch is wrapped
up in senior Connie Walcutt, junior
Fred Polinski and sophomore George
Keller, the former Cory-Rawson star
while the Beavers can counter with
high-scoring Ron Kalb, an outstanding
outside shooter.
Blur1tOn coacn Ken MAST mas pre-
dicted that his team viii knock off at
least one of the league-leaders, Find
lay, Defiance or Wilmington, before
the end of the season. Although they
possess only a SIS record, Bluffton
has been the victim of two overtime
defeats, including the heartbreaking
two-pointer to Wilmington on Decem-
Der Z.
Usually powerful, Heidelberg has
fallen to 2-8 record this season.
Bluffton defeated them 70-65 with
blazing late game rally in the season
opener for both teams in Tiffin's
Seiberling gymnasium.
