Worst Blizzard In Several Years Ends Traffic
Returns to Normal as Drifts are Pushed Aside
Schools Closed First Three
Days This Week; Re-
opened Today

Garrett county's worst blizzard
in several years came to an end
yesterday, but not before paralyz-
ing traffic and closing the public
schools for three days. Emergency
travel only was the order issued
to motorists by State Police on
Monday as the blizzard further
buried the area in snow with an
additional eight to ten inches over
the weekend. Visibility was near
zero both Monday and Tuesday,
but traffic returned to normal or
near normal Thursday morning.
Garrett countians took the storm
in their usual stride.
The schools resumed their activi-
ties this morning after a three-day
suspension 1t was the first time in
several years that there had been
a loss of even one day of school.
There is an allowance in the pro-
gram for missing two days on ac-
count of weather but any further
disruption in the program means
adding days of school on to the
regular end of the term in June.
In ordering the schools closed
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Willard l.. Hawkins, county super
intendent of schools, said he was
afraid to put the buses on the
roads because of poor visibility
and icy conditions He thought
at first that schools could be re-
sumed on Wednesday but soon
learned that many students we're
still snow bound.
Some forty percent or more of
the county's TAO miles of roadway
were completely closed Monday
and Tuesday. Paul Dewitt. assist
ant county engineer for the county
said that IS percent of the county
roads were open by Wednesday
evening and that IS to 80 percent
would be open by this morning.
The county had 40 men working
as plows in round the clock shifts
Dewitt said the .IorSt sections
we're those at Pleasant Valley,
Kempton, North Glade, the San
ders lane off the Fingerboard road,
and Harrington Manor Drifts
were fifteen or more feet deep in
spots.

Teachers Pay
Raise Approved

A bill to raise the pay of Mary
land public school teachers by an
average of $400 a year became law
yesterday as the newly convened
Legislature overrode Governor Nc
Keldin's veto by crushing MAORI
ties in both houses.
The action came shortly after the
1858 30-day session convened and
moments before the governor de-
livered a budget message calling
for 50 percent sales and income tax
increases to balance a S386-million
dollar budget.
The teachers pay measure, call
ing for a state cigaret tax of three
cents a pack to finance the II
million dollar a year raise, becomes
effective July /. The vote 118 to 2
in the House and q to in the
Senate.
The governor had made q special
plea for support from fellow Re
publicans-outnumbered by Demo-
Gratis q to s in the Senate and 50 to
Is in the House-On the teachers
pay bill.
McKeldin had argued that in
creases were a local and not a
state responsibility and that the
cigaret tax already was being used
by many local subdivisions.
The bill raises state guaranteed
minimum starting salaries from
$500 a year to $4,000.
